Hey all, Got two systems stuck in the loop, both with Bigfonts25. V1.0 - the cable trick does NOT work!  I've had it hooked up for ages to a router.  No dice.  I've left the thing on for WEEKS.  No dice. V1.  (dated 5-13-2003) - cable trick worked like a charm!  Hooked it up to a router and 5 loops and it was out!   So at least that's some progress. Frodis

frodis, can you test your 1.0 with reloaded? I used reloaded and had a 1.0 and the clock loop never lasted long.

Alas, but I can't.  I can't get my 1.0 out of the loop since I didn't back up my hdd info.  I will have to mod it I guess.  I did have "reloaded" on another v1.0 Xbox that got stuck in the loop.  It finally came out by itself after a few days.

can't you just unplug your dvd rom, this should unlock your hd, then rename the fonts back and delete bert and ernie?

If I had a hex editor that didn't cost an arm and a leg, yeah.   Hddriver won't show me the hdd unless I edit the bin file, which no freeware/shareware hex editing program will allow me to do.  For $50 I can just get a modchip and fix it rather than buy a hex editing program that I'll only use once.

whoah!...what scooby dooby?....you can unplug your dvd drive and it will unlock your hdd?? could you please elaborate?...also, i have a 1.0 xbox, and the feedback cable does not work.  it seems that this is another confirmation of it not working on 1.0 xboxes...but after i leave my xbox on for about 5 hours, the light starts blinking green and red.  I have found this to be called a "fragged" xbox...meaning Flashing Red And Green light...what does this mean?...please keep in mind that this only occurs after i leave my box in the loop for about 5 hours.   Oh, and if nothing can bring it out of the loop, does anyone suggest that i try to unlock my hdd and edit the filez on my computer (i.e. revert to the original drive settings so that i can set the clock) ok, well...thanks for all the help on this post!

ok so when you do the hotswap and load up HDDdriver how do yo uacsess the files on the box HDD to switch them aound, i dont remembe seeing a option for this in the program.  I tried the feed back cable and have had no luck myself.

Hello

Hmm.. this is true, about connecting to the network will get you out of the damn loop, but never know about the loop back cable...

My xbox is v1.0 and it work when connect to my computer...

anyway.. can you tell what color i'm i suppost to twist the wire? there are 8 color wires...

thanks

ALSO.. what version of PBL you guy using? i'm using the 1.3 version.... will 1.3.5i fix this situation?

I tried the feedback cable on three xboxs all produced on 2003-02-26 (that makes them either 1.2 or 1.3).
And I believe it doesn't change anything. Plugging in the feedback adapter or real network or nothing always results in some restarts and after 20-100 loops the boxs finally start. I tried both font hacks with no difference. imho it simply doesn't work on mine.

Using a crossover cable or not, doesnt matter.

You need to look at pin 1 and see what colour wire it is, then look at pin 3 and see what colour it is, the find them wires at the end of the cable where you have cut it, and twist them together.

Same for 2 and 6.

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

what are the colors of the wires you are crossing. mostly 95% of all cat5 cables have the same color coded wires inside so please state orange to what and green to what so it will be easier to not mess it up

 both xbox's boot with in 3 loops

you just described hot swapping your HD, and the HD Driver fix, check Lord Alderon's tutorial for this stuff.

you can't change any files to get rid of the loop permanently, you can only restore your old font files, and delete bert and ernie. Then boot up and set your clock. Then re-install the fonts. I would try the 'reloaded' versions and see if that doesn;t work.
