If i were to try UXE Complete and do everything according to your tutorial (For safetey reasons and to make sure i don't screw up with Ndure3.0beta)

The link for http://redeyedfoolz0.../ref/index.html is no longer working and I want to makesure i setup  uxe-complete-v0.2.2 okay

Thanks

[DaddyJ]

UXE-Complete has a good readme, but it breaks down like this.

Download package and extract contents.

navigate into the package for 4 .bat files named

*=names are subject to change

nkpatcher06
nkpatcher67
fonts61
fonts71


I always use nkpatcher06 unless you have a 300+gb hd.
then start with the fonts71 file. click those files.

nkp06 = F takes rest of hd after 8gb.
nkp67 = F takes rest of hd after 8gb to 137gb, then G takes rest of hd after 137gb.

Nav to the C folder and copy its contents to the xboxhdm\c folder
Nav to the E folder and copy its contents to the xboxhdm\E  folder. the resulting xboxhdm will look like this

*drive contents subject to change inbetween packages.

xboxhdm\C
 xboxdash.xbe
 fonts\bert.xft
 fonts\ernie.xft
 fonts\nkp\default.xbe

xboxhdm\E
 ROOT\default.xbe


*NOTES
The E\ROOT\default.xbe is your default dash, if you wish to use another dash, replace these files with your new dash, making sure the main.xbe is names default.xbe.

yeah the s.xtf is a scrap font, used to cover memory layout issues, it wont hurt anything.
the nk directory prolly contains a default.xbe which is nkpatcher, so everything should be fine.

I have been following this tutorial, but I think there is some step I'm missing- When I choose option 2 on the xboxhd menu, afterwards my C: drive only contains the xboxdash.xbe and the fonts folder from uxe. I have tried booting it but I just get error 21. I'm guessing that there is some obvious step I'm missing like putting a default C: layout on the iso along with uxe... Please can anyone tell me what to do?

(I also tried restoring my backed up C: and manually copying the uxe files to it with xbrowser, but it just gets stuck in an "updating xbox live" loop. I also tried deleting the original fonts but that gave me error 21 again...I've been at this all night)

P.S. Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed and easy to understand tutorial. And for any other confused noobs like me,  the paths mentioned in the guide such as "CDROM\E\ROOT" are changed to "CD\E\ROOT" instead, at least in the version of xboxhdm I was using.

[Necron]

NM, I realised what I did wrong- I copied the contents of ROOT to E: instead of copying the folder... Now it works! Thanks again DaddyJ for the great tutorial! (Now I just have to get ftp working, but that's another problem...)

The xboxhdm software link details the following:

Do not use this package is you do not have a kernel below 5530 and dashboard version 4920.

My xbox details the following:
K:1.00.5530.01
D:1.00.5659.03

Does this mean I must downgrade my dashboard before undertaking the softmod??

[sa000584]

Forget my above post.   Read on another tut that xboxhdm works with all versions of xbox and no downgrade of flash is required.  

However regarding xbrowser....is this part of xboxhdm or uxe programs...if not I cant find it in the usual places, so any clues where to get this from would be greatly appreciated.

[DaddyJ]

xbrowser is a part of the xboxhdm linux package. you type that instead of xboxhd at the prompt

[sa000584]

Thanks DaddyJ...one more question before I try this..  I am assuming that by performing the hotswap it installs the ftp software on the xbox, so that I can transfer files at will on to the xbox eg media centre etc.  

Can some one please confirm.

[sa000584]

I got so far, but not close enough

I go to this step just after loading the exploit 1 in the tut

"Exit the menu, and fire up xbrowser, on the left side point to CDROM\E\ROOT in the right side point to PriMas\E, then F5 to copy the ROOT folder.
F10 to exit. (proceed to Resume section.)"

By the way I dont have a "cdrom" directory just a "CD" directory, i am not sure whether this is causing the error below.

I tried to run F5 copy command but it gives me an error message that "Cannot create target direcotyr "/CD/E/ROOT/E"  Read Only file system (30).

What exactly is this step doing ??

Any ideas how to complete this step  

[felini]

Something went very wrong and...i format the drive and haven´t the backup to restore.
I'm in a terrible pain!!!


I didn´t disconnected the pc or rebooted the xbox, i'm thinking if i do that i'm loosing my whole money invested on the BOX.

it ask me, for the cdrom with the containing c- and e-. Is any way to make an Cdrom with just this? and if there is, how can i make it?
Sorry, but i'm an ass!!!!

THanks Daddyj for the tut....i reloaded xbrowser a few times and it let me do the step I was having problems with

"Exit the menu, and fire up xbrowser, on the left side point to CDROM\E\ROOT in the right side point to PriMas\E, then F5 to copy the ROOT folder.
F10 to exit. (proceed to Resume section.)"

Xbox has been working fine for over 24 hours.  i have FTP XBMC and dvd2xbox programs successfully.

Thanks once again.

Hey, I have an xbox that I'd like to softmod and add a 160GB hard drive. Unfortunately I'd like to keep using my two free months of Live before they're up, too. I'm wondering if it's possible to softmod my xbox and use the new hardrive with the softmod while keeping the original drive clean so I can swap drives and play on Live.

From what I can tell, I need to get my eeprom backed up to use the new HD in the xbox, which would require me to softmod the original drive. Is it possible to softmod and then remove the softmod to make the original drive clean, while my secondary larger drive has the softmod? Thanks.
