Why Cant I Softmod My Box?
« on: August 15, 2004, 06:41:00 PM »

Are you using an installer or setting it up manually?  When you say you can get to evox but do nothing from there what do you mean?

I'm not familiar with ltools, but does it install a dash for you too? is it possible the rebooting is because there is no dash to load?  But then, how is he getting evox to load?

I understand your c and e drives are taken from slayers, but is there anything else on the e drive? is this where you have been placing your pbl or patcher?
did you convert the update.xbe -> xboxdash.xbe?

I've never heard of the xodash.xbe being used, just for kicks rename the update.xbe to xboxdash.xbe instead of the xodash.xbe

yea make sure there are no other .xtf files in the C root xcept the bert/ernie files. u could try either the bert_ate_ernie.xtf instead of 2 fonts or try using the 5960 dash. also make sure u dont have a kernal thats 5713 or higher cause then u should be using UDE2

what am i doing wrong?!?!

How are you transferring the files to your xbox? Sometimes FTP corrupts them and some memcards (action replay?) do aswell. Check by copying the current files you have on the xbox (that give a messy screen) back to your PC and make file comparisons to good files.
