You could try it via ATAPWD (included with XBoxHDM as a DOS tool in 1.9, maybe usb 2.2 but i never used it on 2.2). First unlock, then disable locking. Gotta do both there or it'll relock on the next boot.

when i had this problem i unlocked the drive using the master password (XBOXSCENE for me since i locked it with that using xboxhdm 1.9) in atapwd. then i disabled drive using master password. (it doesnt say disable locking exactly). reboot my computer and all was well.

i know this isnt a usb 2.2 fix but i had similar problems and fixed it with 1.9

Thanks, I'll give this a try. I'll let you know what happens.

BTW I think atapwd is included in 2.2

atapwd is included in the DOS tools
there are also tool to unlock/lock with DOS
hdparm can also do the job (worked for me before)
MHDD is not included as such - you have to download that.

all the the (brief) instructions for the above are in the help folder
any success yet?

[kewlbub2]

Ok after trying everything to lock my HD back (everything is prepped and ready), I found that only MHDD was able to successfully lock my hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA, WD5000AAKS).

I've run into a brick wall where one of the characters in my password is the hex code 0D which if converted to decimal is 13 and if I try to enter that produces a carriage return and ends the password right there.

How would I be able to enter this hex code as text in MHDD?

[Heimdall]

According to this post you press and hold the alt key then enter the decimal value for each hex pair.

yes I understand that part, but if you do hex code 0D (decimal code 13) it will produce a carriage return, so I'm not able to put that "character" in as part of the password (it will act as if I pressed enter at that point)

first of all, id like to say thanx to all you who have put this all together. you guys have done great work.

now my problem...
i have a modded xbox i hotswaped a few years ago via xboxhdm v1.9, ugraded to a 360g hdd, works great, its my main source of home entertainment, be it movies, music or emulators. love it.
im trying to do another xbox for my 7 year old. i dont have the old tower with 2 IDE slots anymore. my new computer has 2 sata and 1 IDE. thats fine, thats why i am here. i have managed to get my USB running and bootable. i boot the virgin xbox with the cd drive unpluged to an error 12, i hotswap to my pc, power on,everything boots fine, (your GUI is beautiful BTW) i get all the way into xboxhdm where i can choose to type xboxhd or xbrowser. this is where my first problem comes in. i want to install NDURE, i have configured it properly for my kernel and opted for almost every option. installed it to the usb in the HDM folder. i got the new ndure script installed in the same place. now if i type xbrowser at this screen it tells me it cant find xbox partition on the drive, so i type xboxhd and choose tobuild an hdd from scratch. i it builds the partitions, asks me if i want to format them, i say yes. then it asks me if i want to rebuild the c and optionaly the e partition, i say no to both and and choose option 8 to exit. i then type xbrowser and it lets me into the midnight whatever i browse into the NDURE file and exicute the script. i then get 4 options and i chose option 2 tho completly replace the c drive with ndure files, it seems to hang at step 2 when copying the files. i have scowered this forum and i know it can take a while, but its been hung for an hour at least. im not sure whats going wrong.

now here is what i find funny about the whole thing. firstly, that initialy when i get into xbohdm shouldnt i be able to get into xbrowser right away with out having to format the hdd. i mean it should be able to read the existing partition table on the unmodded hdd right? 2nd, since i did choose to "start from scratch" and repartition and format the hdd, why is it that after i waited an hour while it was hung at "copying files" and turned everything off, plugged the xbox all back together. i would figure that my hdd would be a mess with either incomplete file transfer or from the fact that i reformated it, but it boots up to M$ dash like it was brand new. thirdly, i cant for the life of me figure out why its hanging like it is. im pretty sure that the hdd is being detected, as i can briefly see it in the script during boot, for some reason i cant seem to pause it, but i make sure to unplug my computers hdd and even the cd drive from the mobo before i boot up with the xbox hotswapped.

ive been messing for a few days with your program trying to fix an old xbox i thought i bricked and now get an error 21 on. that one will accually finish all of the ndure istalation, but still only boots to an error 21, so i set it aside as i want to just drop kick it, and i picked up a new one and thought that things would go easy with a different xbox that didnt boot to error. i guess i was wrong.

im trying to get this done before christmas as i have done a coustom pink and purple paint job on the case for my daughter. and she just loves all the emulators, and i just love not having to have CDs and game cartridges all over the place. i hope that once i get the initial mod on it to but a spare 80g hdd in it that i have.

thanx again, for all the effort and months if not years you guys have put into the xbox modding scene, and thanx for any help you may be able to give me

If you already have one modded xbox you can use that to ftp the save file to a memory card and then you just need one of the exploitable games to do the softmod.

i have splinter cell, and i am heading out to get some parts to make a usb action replay device, so i will let you guys know how that works for me. but i dont have a regular memory card.

but when i go to upgrade to the 80g hdd, wont i need to use xboxhdm?

i have configured it properly for my kernel and opted for almost every option.

Bad idea. Just select your kernel version, and the xboxhdm installer option, and leave everything else blank. Read the link in my signature (Softmod with hotswap) for a quick walkthrough.

It sounds as though maybe the hotswap isn't working and the disk is still locked. From your description you are waiting for the error 12 before hotswapping, and that would be the problem. Removing the DVD drive to force error 12 increases the length of the hotswap window, but you still have to hotswap before the error message, while the white Microsoft logo is on the screen.

Although as Steveo says, with one modded Xbox already, a gamesave softmod (with Krayzie 1.1.1) is by far the easiest and safest option.

Asfar as the disk upgrade goes, xboxhdm isn't your only option - see the link in my signature (Softmod Hard Drive Ugrades) for a description of the options available.

ok, i succesfuly mad a usb hookup for my xbox, and now have used the splintercell exploit to put evox on the xbox. i am now in the process of trying to change the dash to XBMC. thanx alot guys.

these things make perfect gifts, and for 12 bucks for the xbox and 8 bucks for an 80g hdd. i think ill make 2 more and give them away for christmas. ill be back shortly to follow your link and upgrade the hdd.

[Heimdall]

Which softmod did you use?

[spliff721]

i used the splinter cell exploit off the SID disk and now i have got XBMC as my default dash.

[spliff721]

ok. i have now upgraded to an 80g hdd. had a little trouble locking it whith xboxhdm2.2, but after searching for a bit through the posts here i found a link saying to plug the ide into the xbox after POST. i wasnt fully sure what this ment so through trial and error i found that after choosing xboxhdm2.2 on the usb, wait till the screen pauses for the first time for 3 seconds or so and i pluged in at that time and i stoped getting the "drive is frozen" error. the drive locked and booted to M$ dash after i pluged it back into the xbox. i then proceeded to mod it through the same splintercell exploit i found on the SID disk. thanx again to everybody for all your help. marry christmas!!!!
