Hi, I installed the UDE exploit on my friend's xbox a month ago and it worked sweet.  But today he comes to my house the xbox is not working. It just freezes with the xbox logo and the MS text under it.
  He tells me he was playing NBA live 2005 and i my first tought is that he has entered live and fuck up the exploit, but I gain ftp access through my xbox and everything is as it should be. Anyway, I installed the whole thing again, overwriting all the files of the exploit, but nothing happens and the screen freezes at the same point.
   Any ideas?

 Does UDE replace the Phoenix Loader or is just the samething? I also checked my Kernel version to see if my Xbox is compatible with UDE and this is what it said:

K:4034
D:4034

I bought my Xbox last christmas in 2003 so I have a v.1.0 Xbox.

My friend was going to install the Phoenix Loader for me so should I stick with that or go with UDE? And can I use dashboards like Avalauch with UDE? and before with the Phoenix Loader my friend said I cant play Xbox Live games but it that the case with UDE also? He also told me for Phoenix Loader before I plug it back in I aftoo put a internet connection threw my Xbox so I decided to use my PS2's LAN cable that I use to play online. He said everytime I would unplug my Xbox I would need to plug my LAN cable or in this case my PS2's LAN cable do we still need to do this with UDE??

phoenix bios loader is a totally different thing from the UDE. \
The UDE is some hack that runs on bootup and lets specific signed xbe's run on the xbox.
Phoenix is a bios loader which doesn't have anything to do with hacking or exploiting the xbox. It's just an app that replaces the bios that is loaded into memory with a modified one.
So basically you need a combination of both. The UDE on bootup in order to run a specific signed version of phoenix which then replaces the bios from where nothing has to be signed anymore.
The problem with your network cable had probably to do with you using an old font exploit that suffered from clock loops. Putting innetwork cable after unplugging was a well known fix for becoming stuck in a loop. The UDE does not suffer from that kind of loops.

So should I stick with the Phoenix Loader? And as for the clock loop for me its really no big deal because I only aftoo plug my PS2's LAN cable on my Xbox only when I unplug it so its not a problem. But I thought UDE was just like Phoenix Loader my friend is going to use 007 or Splintercell to install it but is Phoenix Loader still a good HDD hack?

Hi,

I just installed UDE1 by xboxhdm on my xBox 1.0 with dash 5659 and Kernel 4817.
I chose PBL-Metoo,  4981.67_ef bios,  Evox v. 3935.

I shutted down an then rebooted the xbox.

Instead of Evox I see a green dash with a black square without any menu in it!

I can still boot games booting the xBox with the dvd inside, but how can I make Evox start on boot??

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

there is something wrong with your font setup

[luminous]

A few noob questions,
1) Is the only way to change the dashboard clock achieved by uninstalling the ude exploit? (i`ve tried with evox but it just hangs)
2) Are there any known issues with backups that dont work using this exploit?
3) Altho you say you can put any bios in the folder,someone else said its not as easy as that,it requires  some work,what do i do?.
Many thanks


The 2 softmods i`ve done are ude1 on pal xbox,(focus video chips) x2 bios,pbl metoo,evox if that helps.

1: no you can acces the msdash just fine from evox. or just use a dash that auto sets the clock

2: there are no games that fail to work using the UDE exploit except for discs that do a forced dash upgrade/xbe extraction like the starwars bonus disc.
Other problems with some games have to do with the bios like crimson skies.

3: that depends on where your dash is located. Most bioses look for C:evoxdash.xbe. if your setup is different for instance like when you used ltools you need to edit the bios to look for the right dash location.

your xbox is still loading it's own fonts! did you rename fonts to f0nts and created a fonts folder with bert and ernie in there?

[eh.]

Edit: removed my reply (as krayzie's was better) eh.

i renamed the old fonts folder to f0nts and created a  new fonts folder with bert and ernie in it, as per the istructions in the guide

well you díd do something so the bios isn't seeying the fonts folder then and reading the fonts of the root. Are you 100% sure that the fonts folder with the hacked (and only the hacked)fonts are on the root of C? Try deleting the xtf files on the root and see if you then boot to an error screen.

[krayzie]

did you try deleting the root font files allready?

[cooperbmx]

nope i just renamed the font directory to f0nts.

could this problem have occured due to the way, instead of renaming the files and adding new files directly on the xbox over flash fxp, i made a copy of the C and E drives, edited and added files to them then sent the copies of C and E over to the xbox to overwrite the originals (basically overwrote the original C and E with the UDE modified ones)

sorry if that sounds confusing

well i just checked the 'fonts' folder and some how their were copys of the original xbox font files in there, so i deleted them...and now... the xbox boots to a service required screen

do you find that strange? You should still be able to boot retail games to fix it.
