I've never bothered with softmod before but I wanna try. How do I downgrade my dash or can I even do it?
If someone could give me a step through guide or pm me one for this softmod I would greatly appreciate it.

To downgrade your dash:

Get a hold of an EvoX gamesave exploit. Then, download Slayer's EvoX and extract the iso. Load up the gamesave exploit and FTP into your Xbox. Backup your C: partition to your PC and your eeprom/hdd information. Then, delete the C: partition on your Xbox and replace it with the one on Slayer's (System/All/C). Double check that ALL the files are there and that they are on root C: before resetting. smile.gif

Devz3ro's not trying to be an ass about the whole 'FTP' and 'M$ Copyright' shit he's just speaking the truth, if you notice as soon as the double-dash was made public they released the Live Update. I can assure you that they are reading these posts as well, therefore if you want to keep your self and X-S out of trouble refrain from any clues as to where you can obtain these files.

I understand and I really do appreciate Devz3ro for taking the FTP out of the post. I wasn't trying to upset anyone just help people. I will try to be more careful with what I post. Thanks.

Regarding restoring Dashboard access to the XBOX!Live console…

How about:
Boot->update.xbe->bert_ate_ernie.xtf->Evox->restore.xbe->xodash\xonlinedash.xbe

Key:
Blue = M$ signature in effect.
Red = Habibi signature in effect.

restore.xbe itself is habibi signed, but simply patches back the original M$ key (pokes a few bytes) in the BIOS, then launches xonlinedash.xbe.

Anyone see any issues with this?  It all sounds too easy.

I will be an XBOX!Live noob in about 10 days - so that's my level of experience here.

Thinking more about this candidate solution, I’m now wondering what would happen when the launched xonlinedash tries to check the installed Dashboard version, in order to determine if an upgrade is necessary?  Does it check the xonlinedash.xbe? or the boot dashboard? – which in our case would be a renamed legacy update.xbe.

I’m keen to find out wink.gif

rmenhal, are you able to build me a restore.xbe, as I describe above? (I assume you know the original values of the M$ signature bytes you patch).  I think it’d only be a handful of source lines – and those pasted from what you’ve already got.  (See http://www.xbdev.net...e_020/index.php for how to roll-your-own XBE from NASM wink.gif .)

An eventual deluxe version of this wrapper would be one that’d take the path of the eventual XBE to launch from its command line arguments – I believe Evox allows you to specify these on its menu items.

You have to follow the explanation of how to extract the encoded text given by Angerwound to a tee. I believe the explanation was in the working easter egg thread thats pinned.

xboxdash.xbe

I put these files in E:

boot.cfg
default.xbe
phoenix.raw

These are some of the concerns. If this causes an update each time, it's far from ideal. Another thing is what happens when you exit xonlinedash.xbe? Would Bert_ate_Ernie fire again when reloading our xboxdash.xbe (update.xbe)? This is a new memory layout, so maybe not? Would we get a reboot? Some things to check  tongue.gif

If I was eager to go on Live I think I would just make a font/audio switch in Evox like we were used to with the old fonts (do you remember when the clock loop was an issue biggrin.gif).

CODE

[Action 10]
WARNING "Turning off Ultimate Font exploit"
WARNING "and turning on audio exploit"

rename "c:\xboxdash.xbe" "c:\xboxdash.xbe.upd"
rename "c:\xboxdash.xbe.bak" "c:\xboxdash.xbe"
rename "c:\bert_ate_ernie.xtf" "bert_ate_ernie.bak"
rename "c:\f0nts" "c:\fonts"
copy  "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.DB" "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.bak"
copy "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.hk" "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.DB"

[Action 101
WARNING "Turning off the audio exploit"
WARNING "and turning on the Ultimate Font exploit"

rename "c:\xboxdash.xbe" "c:\xboxdash.xbe.bak"
rename "c:\xboxdash.xbe.upd" "c:\xboxdash.xbe"
rename "c:\bert_ate_ernie.bak" "bert_ate_ernie.xtf"
rename "c:\fonts" "c:\f0nts"
copy  "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.bak" "e:\TDATA\fffe0000\music\ST.DB"

Havent tested this! Just to sketch the idea.

Actually, I think this is even robust against dashupdates. This needs more testing, but I just tried upgrading my dash to version 5659. Then only copy the 4920 update.xbe to xboxdash.xbe rename fonts folder and put bert_ate_ernie.xtf in the root. The exploit worked, because update.xbe doesn't require any settings files or anything. Only Bert_ate_ernie is loaded.

So a memcard package with this exploit would be simpel. I will make one when time allows it. Have a nice setup figured out with C-drive restore options and automatic msdash patching. Only need some spare time smile.gif

Sounds to me like you still have the retail *xtf fonts in the root of C:
You need to rename the extension of :
C:\Xbox.xtf  
and
C:\XBox Book.xtf
to a something else (*.bak)
Also be sure you habibi signed E:\default.xbe (you didn't mention that).
