Xbox Softmod (ndure 3.0) Reset Itself To Default
« on: July 20, 2006, 11:17:00 AM »

So i was using the following

Xboxhdm v.19
Ndure 3.0
UnleashedX

Everything worked perfectly for about a week. Then supposedly no one touched the xbox or did anything to it. My brother loaded up topspin (retail game i bought) and i turned it off and turned it back on and the xbox loaded up the regular xbox screen and the light on the xbox was green again. With the mod it always stayed yellow thats why i was like hmm. When i browse the HD it still has all the saved games that the mod installed. So i am assuming the mod is still good.

Do i just need to reload the dashboard or pick another flavor, and see if that still works? When i put in a dvd iso game that normally worked for the week, it says it doesnt recognize the media which makes sense. Can i just install xbmc and expect things to work now? Also why would playing topspin (I never tried to access xbox live) reset everything to default MS dashboard and not allow me to play backed up games.

Basically in short, do I need to install another dashboard/reload unleashedx, or do i need to redo the whole soft mod?

You need to to redo the softmod. This happens when there is no shadowc enable, the game updater installed new files over the exploite files in C drive. Do you have any ftp access or did you install UDDAE ( as the xboxhdm install tutorial said).. then you could probably run nkpatcher by using UDDAE.(In xboxdash go to Music>blank soundtrack>Copy>Select>Copy>New Soundtrack><<Eggsβox>>(with two '<' Symbols, capital 'E', beta Accent 'β' and two '>' Symbols)>Done (UberDash starts)>Music>blank soundtrack>Copy>Copy>New Soundtrack>Done)

I have gotten ftp access to my xbox successfully like the 1st day with my mod. But i realized i dont need it because im using games off of media and using the stock harddrive. I probably installed UDDAE as i followed the tutorial exactly, even though im not sure what UDDAE is. Ill try what you suggested at the end. When i redo the mod how do i add in shadowc enable? Sorry im extremely new to the xbox modding scene (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also i just tried putting in the thing in the audio track etc it starts to do something then it comes up with the disc in the drive cannot be recognized, even though their is nothing in the drive. Do i need to put the bootable mod cd in their? I also tried putting a regular audio cd in their to no avail.

Also if i followed the guide for using ndure 3.0 with xboxhdm, did that enclude adding enabling shadowc? Also did that use at all nkpatcher? Do i need to use nkpatcher as well after im done to make sure everything is updated and locked etc?

Not sure i will try to get ftp access tomorrow. I ended up wiping the HD and rebuilding the xbox HD. Now the softmod is on their again with shadowc enabled. I loaded up topspin and it auto went to updating dash board for xbox live... and reset the whole mod again. Then i did everything again and put the mod back on and now im staying away from top spin like its the plague. But why is this? I will report back tomorrow whether or not the ftp function works. Thanks for being patient.

if you have an old version of dashboard then this could happen. If shadowc is enabled, only load topspin after you the LED is orange. Do not boot the disk with power button because for a short time there is no shadowc ( before the exploit loads)..

That makes sense. Is their anyway to update the dashboard version without redoing the mod? I remember reading that if you pop in a newer game like Halo 2 and run the xbox live thing that it will auto update it? Is this correct or would that boof the mood?

Autoupdate will destroy the mod just like topspin. Get slayers disk which has 5960 dashboard. Now, delete C:\fonts\ C:\xboxdashdata.185ead00 and C:\xodash\audio and C:\xodash\ media folder and copy these folders from slayers disk to your C drive. ( you can disable shadowc by running E:\ndts\default.xbe)..
