Can't Rebuild Or Start From Scratch !
« on: September 22, 2004, 07:03:00 PM »

tell you what dragonsprite, man every decent tutorial i have read on this site or any for that matter, has OVER EMPHASISED the fact that you must back up your C and E drive, even if youve done it 1000 times something can always fuck up, i myself have done alot of tsop flashes and alot of UDE exploits on the newer models, and backing up has really saved my ass, in your position all you can do now, as you are a victim of your own stupidity is, buy a modchip and use slayers cd to save ur ass, or get someone to send u the files you need. but i dont think thast'll work

MORAL OF THE STORY: Allways assume the worst will happen, by preparing!  smile.gif

goodluck man, just get a chip they are cheap now

regards

Do you have a firend with a modded XBOX, if so get his C and E drive files, they will work. Actually you can use the C & E drive files from any XBOX. ph34r.gif

and NO, I can't give them to you or tell you where to get them. But be assured they are on the net somewhere!

Really?  Even when I don't even have the C: Drive anymore?How do you restore what you haven't backed up.. ohh I did do a backup of the 007 game exploit Evolution X then. Files such as the Disk.bin, hddinfo.txt, bios.bin,eeprom.bin, and the hddkey.bin file

Not sure if any of those that I backed up from Evox would help me get C again but it was a shot as I don't seem to have very many if any options...

No those will only help in locking/unlock, and reformatting a hard drive.

I have to say this,  THAT IS THE DUMBEST AZZ REASON TO MOD YOUR BOX. WHY THE FUK PLAY A GAME IF YOUR GOING TO HAX IT!

jus had to say that, lame azz cheaters get on my nerv. ph34r.gif

and you could have just gotten a game save that was past that point, and loaded it to your xbox, DUH blink.gif

I thought I'd let DragonSprite here listen to a similar story I had . . .

Ya know, yesterday I was a bit tired, cause I had to go to my local game place to rrent a game, and it turned out the bastard didn't even have my new Suprman game, so I got  that damn Hulk DVD to work on the exploit for it. Only thing was, my car broke down, or as they say in spanish, it was a "nova". Owell, I'll probably get my .organization to get me a new one, maybe one with those new built in games - ya know, kinda like the xbox?

This doesn't have much to do with your story, I know, sorry about that. as for any other help I can give you, I'm not sure if you can download a backup image of the C: & E: drives of the xbox online.

Probably not, I'd bet.

Regards,
Regress

You just gave me the most brilliant solution on earth!!!!!  Does anyone know of a popular brand of video store, ie: Blockbuster/Hollywood Video/etc. that allows you to RENT an xbox from them???

I remember movie rental stores did this back in the day. but what about now? I could rent said xbox, run the same gamesave exploit on it, only this time without installing Bert Cheats on ernie font hack, and just FTP backup the C and E drives to my computer and burn it into the xboxhdm linux.iso and load that backup onto my unlocked HD!!! Voila, working Xbox again..

Use the.bin file to unlock your hardive and rebuild the C hardrive from Xbox Hdm.

So you say I can get ALL my C harddrive files just from the 256kb/512kb .bin File ???
I can't rebuild my HD without the files dude...

If not Can someone PLEASE direct me to an ftp or SOMETHING!!! Hosting anyone??X box should have come with a "recovery disk" IMHO. dry.gif

read Vewwwy CAREFULLY!

1. get xboxhdm

2. make bootable iso with xboxhdm using slayers "C" files in xboxhdm "c" folder

3. boot up the xbox hd as primary master with xboxhdm

4. unlock using hd password you got earlier

5. use xbox hdm to build xbox hd from scratch option

6. LOCK HARDRIVE WITH THE LOCK PASSWORD YOU GOT THROUGH THE EVOX BACKUP OPTION

fixed xbox

Dragonsprite - you are a prime example of someone who needs to try what I did in my post http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=280884.

If you have/can get access to an already modded xbox try swapping to your hd after you have ftp access to the already modded xbox hd and see if you can get hold of your eeprom.bin file from linux back_up folder.  That is the only file you really need and can use any C: and E: data - ideally from the modded xbox you are already ftp'ing to.  Just means that if you are succesful you will have your xbox in the same state as the modded xbox you are using to rescue yours.

Edit - Actually having just read this post again, I dont understand how you cant get your xbox working again.  The ONLY thing you need to salvage an xbox hd is the eeprom.bin that is unique to your xbox.  As long as you have that you can put whatever C: and E: folders you can get your hands on.

If you have your eeprom.bin do what toolwerx said and with xbhdm v1.9 you should be able to get your xbox working again.  Are you making sure that you are locking the hd after rebuilding it? Use option 6 to obtain the hd lock key and copy it down.  Then choose linux with locking tools and type :-

lockhd -p *********************** (*'s being your unique key)

This should then result in a working xbox hd.

I have managed to save 2 xboxs recently by using this method and cannot thank ltools and many other guys on this forum for their continued excellent work and support.

i know you dont have your old c and e files. But you did say you had the evox backup right?
If you do, you can pretty much use ANY xbox's c and e files to get it going again. All you need is the hd lock and unlock key, and your pretty much set.
