Does your xbox yeild an error#, or hang at the X-Logo , or boot to msdash still?  
Actually, answer the question in a different thread..  Your problem has nothing to do with hotswapping..

It just hanged at the xlogo. when the white MS logo comes on at the bottom...  I have tried hotswapping 3 times but every time it hangs at the xlogo and won't let me boot into evox.

Sounds like your fonts are pointing to a missing xbe file.

Or perhaps you need to use a different font set..  Another possibility is you have made changes to your setup that mess up the memory structure..  Is your language set to english without any parental controls set etc?

well my xbox's setting was on default, which is engilsh language and don't think any parental setting is on, but not too sure, i can't check either because i can't log into my msdash or evox dash.

I am jus thinking maybe the xbox can't find the evox or the correct exploit.  because when i boot up the xbox, i hear the hd clicked as normal on the boot screen, then there is no activity on the hd after that point...

I then hotswapped it again and went into xbrowser, to see if the necessary files are in c drive.. everything is still there.. which is the support  folder and the uxe-c-replace folder..(which is from uxe complete v0.21)...

i really hope this method will softmod my xbox, as this is my 1st project based on game console, and i find it very interesting....  as i am still a rookie in this subject so please all  you experts out there can help me figure this out... i am sure it is jus a little tweak i need to get this thing working..   Many people has successed softmodding using this method and i want to be 1 of them!!!!

you need the contents of "uxe-c-replace" folder on the xbox c:\ drive.. also you must run the 2 batch files in the support folder to complete the "uxe-c-replace " folder before putting it on your xboxhdm cd... read the readme.txt file that comes with uxe-complete

if in doubt run "71-fonts-install.bat" and "nkpatcher-06-install.bat" from the support folder .. as i said ... read the readme

i'm sorry if you have already done this and i'm misunderstanding your last post

i didn't run any batch files before making the iso.  all i did is UNzipped xboxhdm and uxe complete.  then put "support file folder" and "uxe-c replaced folder" into c drive in xboxhdm folder.   THen i click on makeISO.bat to marke the xboxhdm ISO then created in nero.

what 2 uxe complete batch files do i need to run? also how to and when to pls? do i run it in windows by double clinking those two batch files before making the ISO

thanks JOnels.

you''ll get it ..

1) unzip uxe complete v0.21
2) open the uxe complete v0.21 folder
3) open the supportfiles folder
4) run the 2 batch files i mentioned above
5) now get the contents of uxe-c-replace folder onto your xbox c:drive using the same method you used before with hotswap/xbrowser


the xbox c:\ should look something like this when your done

c:\xboxdash.xbe
c:\fonts\dashboard (folder) and its contents
c:\fonts\nk (folder) and its contents
c:\fonts\bert-generic.xtf
c:\fonts\ernie.xtf

What does running those batch files do?



I am having trouble making the boot disk.  What files do I need from UXE complete v.0.2.2?  The place on e folder is empty.

do you just put the uxe-c-replace folder and the place on e folder in your /linux/c folder?

I meant to ask what exactly goes in the c folder and e folder?


Is C suppose to have a fonts folder and a file called XBOXDASH.XBE?

Ane E has just a ROOT folder?

This is usually a memory conflict, either try creating a failsafe xboxhdm (Search forums), or use a different pc.
