Softmodding Gone South
« on: May 16, 2006, 01:30:00 PM »

MAYDAY....MAYDAY... I totally screwed up!!!! Or sort of. Please, I seek desperately for help!!

I decided to softmod my XBOX using a tool called UXE (very good modding software considering the UDE1 which I did not like). I downloaded the file that I used with Mechassault and loaded to the memory card thru the Action Replay. I copied to the XBOX HDD and loaded the save thru the mechassault>campaign>run linux. I installed the UXE (which made a backup of the current UNMODDED of my XBOX). The first install gave an error and was unsuccessful. I rebooted and tried to install again. This time, it installed perfectly. Nevertheless, when I attempt to return to the UNMODDED state, once I boot up, I get a Error 13: Your.......needs service. I cannot get to the former MS DASHBOARD. Please help me restore my XBOX MSBOARD. I heard that there is a rescue disk that return the XBOX to its UNMODDED state. If anyone knows how to make this CD or somewhere that I can get instructions to make one, of even an ISO file that I can download I WOULD APPRECIATE GREATLY.
I know that I f... up somewhere on the installation and I want to return my XBOX to normal.

Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Tiago

Problem with the installer.... couple of questions:

1. Do you know the full name of the installer (ZIP or RAR filename)
2. Did you backup the eeprom.bin to your PC (via FTP)


Without an answer to question 1. then it's hard to tell whether a resue disc would work or not.

If answer 2. is yes then XboxHDM is your solution
If answer 2. is no then XboxHDM is your solution with a hotswap (see DaddyJ tutorial in signature)

Thanks for replying first of all. The the question for the first quesiton is that I have used the installer that came in this file:

WaffleTools_MA_1224 for MA.zip

When I boot up it load a software called XUnleashed.

The answer for the second question is....NO...I have not backed up my EEPROM file (a rookie mistake).
Do you think that there is a solution to my problem??

Thank you,
Tiago

Is the save still on your Xbox? Generally if it still is, you can boot up games themselves if the disc is in the drive. I had that [Error 13] when I made a mistake with changing my dash.

If you can load other programs through the file manager in 'UXE', I'd say put AID on a DVD and install the M$ dash from there.
** Even more importantly, if you can load programs through 'UXE', use EEPROMagic to dump your EEPROM.
