Topic: Ndure 3.0 + Kernel 5838 = Black Screen (Read 84 times)

Movax · « **on:** May 27, 2007, 09:07:00 AM »

I have a v1.6 xbox with 5838 kernel, softmodded with ndure 3.0. I softmodded and locked a WD 250gb drive to the xbox. On boot I see the green X and MS logo....then black.

I have tried:

-Making sure the clock was set correctly.
-Softmodding the stock drive with the same results.
-Generic fonts.

I can cold boot Splinter cell and run my savegame exploit to allow for FTP access. Unsigned software (AID) doesn't seem to work.

No matter what I have tried I just get a black screen after the MS logo.
I've rebuilt my drive twice, the stock drive twice and back to ms dash to make sure it's still working (it is).
Downloaded another copy of ndure installer.

I've never had any issue with ndure before, this is very strange. Are there xboxes that "don't take"?
I have an old aladdin chip here, but I'd rather not use it.

Suggestions?

does the led turn orange
did you put the the .xtf files in alphabetical order on the HDD
did you try the s.xtf and s1.xtf files

LED stays green.

I copied files in order, yes. Drive is modded as ndure only, no "stock" mode.
I'm not sure what the s.xtf and s1.xtf files are, please elaborate..?

I figured I'd get it working eventually. Not sure exactly what was at fault but some combination of Linux and the windows FTP client I was using under wine wasn't copying the files correctly. Might be a bug somewhere. Ndure sofmod/installer was not at fault.

figured it was the order of the files (have yet to find a xbox that don't work but i all ways use Generic fonts and the s1,s2,s3.xtf's )
but for anyone that are sure thats fine here is a quote from UEEE (pre release NDURE) readme

QUOTE

If you have done everything ABSOLUTELY CERTAINLY CORRECT (triple checked,
and triple installed) so far, and it still doesn't work (freezes in the big X
logo and white MS text under it), you may have one of the rare Xboxes that
need additional steps:

8. Copy fonts/ts/s.xtf to C:\xodash\s.xtf

Still not working:

9. Copy the s.xtf also to C:\xodash\s2.xtf

Still not working:

10. Copy the s.xtf also to C:\xodash\s3.xtf

If you wish to change your language setting to something else than
English (in case you want an MS dashboard derivative such as thc lite),
beware that you may need to do steps 8-10 to make it work after the change.

I did try that before I got it working.
Best I got was a strange MS-dash screen (seems to be Network settings) with a blank menu and no text.
I don't know why I was having problems, I've softmodded using this (linux) computer and all the same software before.
