hey...my xbox is stuck in the clock loop, and so i looked around for some solutions, and i think the one w/ the cat5 jumping of 1+3, 2+6 thru the rj45 thing seems to be a good 1, but so far, it hasnt worked....my box has been resetting for about 30 min...
oh, about the cat5 jump...if its done wrong, does the light on the xbox still come on? (because i might have done it backwards...) ok, well...thanks

Ok, I gotta say, great job Ddaddy. Took a lot of intuition for this. I have a few questions, though.
Has anyone compiled some stats? you know, like versions this works for etc? Although its not an expensive venture, but it might help. I think this thread should be Posted again with a better title, cause its that good. Not only that, but it took me a long time to come across info, even what a clock loop was!
Anyway, when you're talking cat5, you just mean making a one ended cross over cable?
Two other semi-newbie questions?
1)I've got a completely computer incompetent friend, who I will be losing touch with soon, so clarify me if I'm wrong. a softhacked xbox without pheonix Bios loader will run original backed up games, but not illegal pirated ones right (he doesn't want the heat breakin down his door)
2)Is the swap date and time setting lines in the evox.ini even useful for anything? That's where I went first to see if those were causing the loops?

Thanks bros, and Laaaadies

Okay, i'm going to try this, but I have a very old xbox, got it like the week it came out.

I still have the .ini set up for DHCP I believe and i turned DHCP off on my router because my network was having problems

I don't have my backup file with my hard drive code. It's on a cd somewhere at a friend's who misplaced it

I can continue messing with this I guess, I tried letting it reboot for about a day obviously it got me nowhere.

What other options do I have? I can make an image of a friend's xbox hard drive no problem, but copying that over to a new drive and then replacing that with the old drive won't work - right? Because i don't have that ATA key in order to lock it

didn't work. I cut a cable in 2 and crossed the pairs over.

Apparently doesn't work on old old xboxs. What about my other questions. What options do I have left?

wow, great find.

i had a version 1 xbox too, using reloaded, always came out of the loop, longest was like 10minutes once.

what;s the cheapest way to make one of these? can't you just buy a little bit of cable and a connector and crimp it for like 50cents?

Brazilianaire, maybe you're doin it wrong? what version of the fonts do you have?

scooby dooby, did you use the loopback?

To all you others that havnt got it to work, are you sure youve linked wires 1&3 and 2&6?

Thanks

no i didn't need to, my box always came out.

but i hae a new box, i'll try and test it.

Now I'm asking, Can a loopback cable be made only with a crossover cable or only with a regular network cable, or isn't that a problem and will it work with both?

--Never mind, this WAS a n00b question and I'm already aware of that, can't delete though so I just editted it and blanked it, and thanks for the reply of my previous question--

I wonder why the older xbox's dont work with this method.

Can someone briefly tell me how to find out the version of an xbox?

Cheers

hmm..i was wondering...is it possible to make a harddrive that works in your xbox w/o any information from ur xbox at all?...or do you need the eeprom and hdd keys from ur old drive to make a new one?....if not, can i just take a friends hdd that is unmodded and stick it in my xbox, set the clock, then stick my hdd back in?....i dont think this is possible, but if anyone could tell me why, that would help me out.
