Hey, what's up.
So I originally modded my Xbox w/ the softmod package (UDE2) for xboxhdm (great tools Idots, easy to use, Thnx a lot!). The modding itself went easy. I used my box for about a month, upgraded my HDD, again using xboxhdm (seriously, best tool out there).
Unfortunetly, I was unhappy with Evox, and tried to install XBMC as my default dashboard... I used the <home> method (xml in c drive directing the xboxdash to Xbmc's home directory), renamed XBMC's default.xbe xboxdash.xbe, then tried to reboot my box.
Instant error 13.
So I restored my C driive with Xboxhdm, locked it back up, and found myself with the M$ dash, with no access to my other dashes, nor access to BoXplorer, or anything to run the progs I have on my upgraded drive.
So cool, np, run the UDE package again, exploit it, and go back to evox... No luck. throwing in MechAssuallt, I can run Itools, but installation of the UDE package tells me that I'm missing needed files in the gamesave directory. (in particular, ude1_patches.tgz)
So I'm going to completely delete the gamesave directory, try re-installing from the CD, and see if it works.
Btw, I've also tried replacing the xboxdash.xbe with previous snapshots of my c drive (that's how I returned to my M$ dash), though I have gotten error 13 for any but the M$ xbe.
While I'm not completely out of ideas, I would appreciate some info on what the best method would be, how to sign files, and exactly how the M8 evox bios loads, so that when I exploit my box again....), I can successfully run XBMC as my default dash....
Thanx in advance.... hopefully....
