You don't need an exploit - your box is still modded, but you've deleted the primary dash when you reformatted the E partition.

Do you know how your Xbox was modded? If it was done with Krayzie then use CASH to repair the softmod. If it was done with Kingroach then run Kingroach again and ftp the resulting E files across to your E.

If you don't know which softmod you have then CASH might also work - but read the documentation carefully, especially the warnings!

You can tell Krayzie and Kingroach apart by what's on the C partition. Krayzie has these directories:

Audio
dualboot
filler
fonts
media
nkpatcher
rescuedash
xb0xdashdata.185ead00
xodash

Kingroach has these:

Audio
bios
fonts
media
shadowc
xboxdashdata.185ead00
xodash

....but whatever you decide to do, boot with CASH and take a backup of your eeprom first.

It looks as though it's booting from the rescue dash on the real C, which probably means it's looking for the primary dash somewhere that CASH doesn't know about!!

Boot with Frosty's rescue disc and have a look at the contents of your real C. Compare it with the listings earlier, and see if it matches either of them. Post back with what you find.

Also, I used CASH to install XBMC, but I dont see that folder on the C or E drives.

You should be booting from the Xboxdash.xbe on the C drive. The MSXboxdash.xbe would load the standard MS Dash.

The easiest way for me to tell you how to load XBMC is below. However, there may still be problems with your mod.

FTP XBMC to the E drive. Put it in the E:\Apps\ folder so you have E:\Apps\XBMC. If you don't have an E:\Apps folder make one.

Rename Xboxdash.xbe to Evox.xbe.

From the Tools folder in XBMC on the PC FTP Shortcut.....xbe to the C drive as Xboxdash.xbe. Then FTP the shortcut......cfg as Xboxdash.cfg. Make sure everything is right before you reboot the Xbox. You should have on the C drive:

Exov.xbe
Xboxdash.xbe
Xboxdash.cfg

If you don't have those, don't reboot the Xbox. When you do reboot, you should have XBMC as the dash.

When you ran CASH, did you select restore Xbox to original and mod with Krazie's?

It is very important that we get the mod fixed first. No matter what you do to get XBMC running, if you have a problem now you will have problems in the future.

If you have done that with CASH and still have problems I would use Slayer's to restore the drive to original. CASH may have the option to restore to original, but it has been a long time since I have used it. Put Krazie's on there and redo the softmod. Use Xbpartitioner first to format the F and G drives with 32k clusters then worry about getting XBMC on there. Get one thing fixed at a time.

Before you do anything else, make sure your eeprom is backed up and you have it on the PC. If all else fails you can make a Xboxhdm disk with the stock C files and rebuild the HD with it and lock it. Then you can re-mod the Xbox. You should have one of these disks if you managed to get a new HD in the soft modded Xbox.

You probably read it on my thread but if you have no e/dash folder with a default.xbe in it, evox appears to be the fall back safety dash (for nOObs like me!).

Add e/dash and put your preferred dash in there as default.xbe.

Still no success

I dont know if this is a hint, but when I boot the xbox it does the XBOX screen, you know the little animation that ends in the logo.

I dont recall this happening when I had everything working correctly. Could this be a clue? Any other ideas out there for me or do I need to give up?

Can you still cold boot CASH?

OK.

Get hold of Frosty's rescue disc and Kingroach NDURE 3.1. Use the stock C from CASH (\StockFiles\c\) as your base, and build a Kingroach softmod file set on top of it. The Kingroach manual explains how to do this.

Boot with Frosty's Rescue disc. FTP to your Xbox, delete the entire C partition, replace if with the Kingroach C. Copy the Kingroach E to your E partition, replacing any files as necessary. Reboot. Now ftp to the Xbox again, and copy the stock C files (again from CASH) to your empty shadow C. Your Xbox will be back to normal.

No - you need to do it as I described - especially the bit about booting with Frosty's rescue disc!!!

Use Qwix to extract the stock C files from CASH, then follow my previous post.

AWESOME!!

I got Unleash as the dash, but I was able to ftp XBMC over and change where it was looking and now I am in business.

Thanks everyone.
