@STKD

I really recommend you IRC for all your exploit/soft needs.
Go to #xbins..acces their ftp...there you will find everything up to date

Thanx Craptastic!

@Khirok

You should upgrade your guide Khirok..I found a little flaw
You said we need to put all the xploits in the root directory ©
I did that and when I insert this command ins xlinux
cp -rf * /xbox/
It copies all the subdirectories too...(Program Files/Docs/etc)

One Q here..
I have Xbox Book.xtf and Xbox.xtf both in /XBOX/ and XBOX/Fonts...what??why?
Also how do I move default.xbe to /XBOX/ you didnt explain that either..

Anyway your guide is great and probably the best for Xlinux!
Thanx alot

stkd, check your pm

let me address the previous concerns and questions real fast

i said unzip it to a directory NEAR the root directory not the root directory. i will update the guide later and make this more clear.

QUOTE

One Q here..

ok it keeps a copy of those files in both places cause older games that use the files in the root directory. when u updated your dashboard it made that fonts directory. so they must keep it backwards compatible so they put it in both places. i am not sure if it is needed to keep it in the root directory or not, i have yet to hear of any problems with it not being there.

thanks for pointing that out i wrote this at about 4AM and that was one minor but very important detail i forgot. i just updated the guide and it is in there now.

I just wanted to tell you that so you can improve your guide..Its great though
Why doesnt the ADMIN makes this guide sticky? He/She should

I will do the procedure and I`ll tell you how I did.

Keep the great work

well thanks every little bit helps with it. i wouldnt mind the guide getting stickied, but i guess it just depends on the admins.

and good luck on getting it working.

well, I do I make a backup image of the HDD using xLinux?? I'm using linux cause HHD_Drive dn't work for me. I checked on the xbox-linux project homepage and they say:

QUOTE

With the Xbox hard disk conntected to your linux computer, you can just make an image by running the following line as root:

dd if=/dev/hdc of=xbox-image.raw bs=1m

but I get an error:

QUOTE

dd: invalid number '1m'

help!!!

I did everything as your guide and when I boot up my Xbox this happens..
Xbox is trying to boot the original dash the somehow it resets and it shows EVOX Blue Screen

Now to run my backups and APPS do I need to patch my xbe`s with xbedump...or it runs any unsigned code?
Also where should I put my APPS/Media? so they can run from the Xbox HDD

If anyone needs help..just ask..I will help

@BoomDivx

What your problem with HDD Driver exactly? details

congrats xilicio, a job well done

the exact same thing happened to me and i hotswapped it in windows and it worked backing it up and nothing else. i know its not that safe but it worked and i wouldnt recommend doing it, but if u have to then go for it.

that right there was the reason i decided to use xlinux after all because that didnt work

xilicio · « **Reply #85 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:34:00 PM »

Now I have an odd problem..

EvoX shows up but my Xbox LED is flashing red constantly...
Is it because the Xbox is overheated? or I installed the Xploit the wrong way?
Khirok is it normal?..that red flashing light..also when I insert an original game(Splinter Cell) and i try to boot it from EVOX it gives me an error 21

...
Do you have my same situation?

@BoomDivx

You gotta make sure the Xbox is the IDE SLOT #2 without any devices..
In IDE 1 you should have your PD HD as Master and CDROM as slave..
The Xbox must be Secondary Master

BoomDivX · « **Reply #86 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:38:00 PM »

I know, it's the only drive on the IDE 2

xilicio · « **Reply #87 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:49:00 PM »

Ok now do this..as I did

Boot your PC without the XBOX HDD connected
When XP boots..turn on your Xbox and wait 7-10 mins
Now do the Hot Swap trick...do it fast so the HDD wont get locked
Then go to Control Panel and try to find hardware.
If nothing happened dont worry..just make sure XP looks for the new hardware
Now open HDD Driver and it should say it found the Xbox HDD

Khirok · « **Reply #88 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:50:00 PM »

that red led flashing means u messed the exploit up and will have to redo it or restore ur drive

xilicio · « **Reply #89 on:** July 12, 2003, 06:20:00 PM »

I think you should add that info to your guide too hehe

I will redo it right now..but I will make a ltl experiment..
I will use the Bert & Ernie Reloaded with the Free Evox default.xbe
