I have a question. My xbox was in a clock loop and i was able to get out of it easily. I know it was a clock loop because it would boot up half way and instantly restart. I fixed it by just letting the xbox stay on with a network cable in. It fixed itself in like 10 minutes. Im now trying to fix my friends xbox. I dont know if he is in a clock loop because instead if instantly restarting it has the xbox green orb thing on the screen for a good second. (mine didnt do that). I tried to fix it the same way i fixed mine, i let it sit on for a 10 hours and it never fixed itself. Does anyone know if this is a clock loop, and how i could fix it other then letting it sit on? Thanks

I think, you seeing the green orb for a second, is what happens on mine when i dont have the network cable plugged in.

This is what made me think the network cable slowed down the boot process, because it never gets to the green orb when connected to a network.

This, however, i think only applies to v1.4&1.5 xbox's. This is why people are having bother with older xbox's.

Anyway, suggestions, make sure the network cable youve got plugged in, is sending signals to the xbox and the green light on the back of the xbox is on.

OR

Make a loopback cable like instructed in previous posts.

Apart from that, i think you just gotta sit it out and wait for it to come out of the loop, assuming its an older version xbox.

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.

okay smart guy, where's lord alderon's tutorial? I searched the forums and came up with 3 replies for alderon, each refering to his faq.

I'd like to avoid this problem entirely in the future, how do I go about switching to the audio exploit? What about this supposed time reset function in the evox.ini that'll change the date imediately?

My hard drive works fine now, getting the password off was my number one concern at the time and it took forever just to get that done. Now with HDdriver i'd like to fix it from here so I can at least boot the damn thing. Now i've got to track down some original .xbe's so I can restore the box to its original state, I hope my friend's xbox still has them

Cool, let us know what happens. I just did 2 v1.0's this weekend and they both got stuck in the loop. They both were brought out of the loop with a crossover, but when they were transferred home (2 hour drive), one went back into the loop the other is currently working.

Okay i will give that a try, but after a certin amount of time, should i assume that its not gonna come out liek that, or can it take more then a day?

Are you talking about using the cable? If you use the cable, I'de say wait a couple minutes to see if it works. In my opinion, you can't say the cable helped if you wait a day.

raptor3861 · « **Reply #82 on:** November 20, 2003, 04:21:00 PM »

well thats just with using a regular network cable plugged into my router. I have a question about the loop back cable. One end plugs into the xbox, and that wire is unchanged. then the other end you do the thing to the cable, do you leave that end open or do something?

x-ray · « **Reply #83 on:** November 20, 2003, 09:00:00 PM »

my 1.0 and my 1.1 will not work I have tried the cable (yes green light comes on) and I have tried connected to my ICS through a crossover cable.

edit they both just came on by themselves no cable plugged in and I realize they are both 1.0 BUt yeah the cable exploit for sure don't work on 1.0

I was wondering though if you go into the EVOX settings menu it has a clock settings menu is there anything in there you can change to maybe get around the problem?

There is nothing evox can do to help, as the problem occurs before evox gets a chance to load. BIGFONTS25 automatically set the date/time, but again the problem occurs before they kick in, so no real use apart from for those that cant access msdash to set the date once booted.

after trying a few other things. Now its back to normal, but while trying to remove xbox live it updated and now Morden's Audio exploit is not working

at least I can still use games and get to evox using bert and ernie 007. I really don't want to have this problem ever again

I have had this happen to six version one xboxs, and each time without any cable or anything the OS eventually loaded into pheonix I however would turn it on let it try three times then turn it off. I am using big fonts 25.

Replace the dashboard folder and xboxdash.xbe with ones from dash version 4920 and you will have audio exploit back.
