Read step 6 in http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/xbins.php carefully.  That should solve your problem.

NKPatcher only works with stock MS bios's (it will just hang)
any specific reason you want to use a softmod ??

I've done a pros and cons list and like softmodding more than the chip.  I've done a few for my friends, but they have newer xboxes.  So, Ndure won't install on mine.  Do you guys know of any other options?  And how can I get a different kernel?

reflash the TSOP with a stock MS bios, must do if you want XBL

there are 4 things that NDURE with NKPatcher can do over a mod bios without a switch
use the XBL xonlinedash < this is a NDURE only feature and must use a stock MS bios
shadowC < nkpatcher only
virtual EEPROM < nkpatcher only
play .ISO's directly from HDD < can be done with certain mod bios (IND5003, evox M8+)

put a switch and split the TSOP then you can have both a soft and hard mod

I am trying my first softmod (any mod) and intend to use Krayzie's method.  I spliced a USB Type A female connector to my break away cable (Red to red, white to white, etc.) When I plug in a controller all is well.  When I plug in a USB memory stick I get one of two responses (One causes the screen to flash brighter off and on,  the other just is ignored.)  One I am using a SD card in a USB adapter, the other is a PNY memory stick.  Both devices the LED lights up.

I was expecting to see an error message and then the device to be formatted.  But in neither case does the device show up as memory in the Xbox.

I have a v 1.3 box I think (sept 2003).  Any help is appreciated.  I can't copy the saved game if I can't get the xbox to recognize my memory.  Thanks for your help.  Let me know if you need more details.

Sorry xman, I don't mean to be a pain, but, I said it was TSOPPed and I'm not exactly sure it was.  It was modded for me about 5 years ago and I know I don't have a chip.  I don't go on xbox live, I use this xbox mostly just for emulators watching movies.  Is there any other way to get around this without having to reflash?

If you want the advantages of a newer bios without reflashing you could just let your tsopped bios boot to phoenix bios loader.

Krayzie,  Could you help?  You did a great job on the installer but I screwed it up.  I installed everything ok and then went to add the extra files.  I added them to the root E drive by mistake so I re-copied (ftped) them over to the apps folder.  Then I started deleting things from the root E drive.  Not sure what all I deleted but did not delete the eeprom backup or the apps.  

I figured I would just run the exploit again to restore anything I might have messed up.  But now when I run the installer (I had to copy the save again to the xbox) it tells me I no longer have the 5960 dash so it stopped the install.  

I know I deleted the udata and tdata folders and I don't really care about recovering my saved games or music. But I don't know what to do next.  I am not sure how to create a rescue disk to get the unit back to stock to try again.  Prior to the attempt I had K:5530 and D:5960.  I do have my eeprom backed up both on the e drive and the pc.  I think I still have my backed up c drive in e\backup.

So now when I boot the box with the power button in it it loads to the extra's launcher unleash page.  I can attempt to install a dual boot but upon reboot I get the extra launcher page every time.  When I power up via the eject button xbox original Dash loads fine with the proper (old) 5960 dash.

Lastly if you or others can help thank you.  It is redundant to state I am a noob but I would also appreciate a recommendation as to what dash to install unleash or evolution?  Thanks, Joe

Joe,

If you can still FTP to your xbox and you don't care about the data the easiest method would be to replace everything with original m$dash files.  

D/L slayers .iso  http://slayer.xbox-scene.com/
Extract using xiso  http://www.xbox-scen...icles/xbins.php
Under system\all you want folder c and e.  

First make sure everything is set up, wires where nobody can trip over them etc... (if you screw up during this you will have to resort to hot-swap to fix).  This step should only take ten mins, if that.
Ftp to your xbox
copy the backup of your eeprom to PC
Delete everything on C and E
Copy the slayers C and E over to the base of their respective drives
Restart

This will put you back into virgin M$ state (but with the 5960 dash).  From here you can just redo Krayzie's installer.

I need a little help with this installer.  I've done this once before and already have a modded xbox.  I'm doing this to mod another xbox with xbmc for our downstairs TV.  

Unfortunately, I've forgotten some of what I did.    I've gotten all the files I need from xbins.  I updated the 1.1 installer I had from last time with that 1.1.1 update.  I've read the readme files, but I can't help but thinking I missed something.  I was wondering if there was a guide somethere in this thread that I missed.

I want to get everything settled out and ready for the install before I start doing anything.  This xbox has a busted dvd drive and I'm temporarily swapping out a drive from one of my working xboxes to get it modded.  I'm only using this for streaming my recorded tv shows, so I really don't need the dvd drive.

I do want to say thanks to all the developers of this installer.  It worked perfectly last time I used it.  I just wish I could remember everything I did last time.

[erehwon6811]

I'm still working on this.  My xbox reconizes the save as a MA save, but it says it is corrupted.  I'm wondering if I have a misplaced or missing file?  I also have another question.  I've been using my modded xbox to transfer the save to my mem card.  I ftp the save to some unused folder on my e drive (emulators for example).  I then move it from there to the mem card.  I'm wondering if that could cause some issues.  I'm doing something wrong and I can't figure out what.

[erehwon6811]

I finally got it working.  I wasn't missing anything.  I was just moving the save file over while it was still in that udata folder.  I needed to take the save out of that folder when I tranfered it to the mem card.  I'm a little annoyed that it took me all day to figure out it was something so simple.  Everything is working fine now.

@krayzie: will you release a last installer with the newest nk-patchers and so on? i think, the kingroach-pc-installer has some newer sources in it. whould be nice, if the krayzie ndure-installer whould get one last update, to make it even more perfect than it is  

[krayzie]

I wanted to make an upgrade some time ago with updated Unleashx and Nkpatcher versions along with some other goodies. Actually I got some help by a former forum member. Unfortunately since I've started my new job I don't have much of spare time and it sits here highly unfinished on my pc.

Maybe if there's anyone with some ux scriping skills and knows his way with Nkpatcher he can make an updated version. I will offcourse help with testing and stuff.

On the other hand the Xbox1 is becoming more and more overaged and the package is fine as it is. All the updates that came after weren't really important or notciced anyway (imo).
