I really give up on this thing now.. I've wasted 2 days trying this and somehow it just wont work..
i dont know if i have got the wrong ndure installer or xboxhdm..
May i ask you for a enormous favour; please please please could you make the iso for my kernel and upload it somewhere, so that the possibilty i screw something up would be minimal..? Or if u could send it to my thru icq or msn or something.. please! i would really appriciate it..!
That would be so nice, im sorry that i have already taken a lot of your time.

Yes, that's the right one - and I have now figured out why you have Evox!

You have booted the rescue dash, because you have deleted the full dash from E:\

So. FTP to your Xbox and check the contents of your C partition. You should have seven folders:

audio
bios
fonts
media
shadowc
xboxdashdata.185ead00
xodash

and two files:

xboxdash.xbe
xb0xdash.xbe

If your C doesn't look like that, let me know which folders you do have.

Then use ftp to copy the Kingroach E files and folders to your E partition. You should end up with four folders:

app
dash
ndts
NKP11

(app and NKP11 will be empty).

Once that's done, reboot your Xbox

I did everything again,, and deleted ONLY the e:\backup folder.
When booting i still get "Not all required resources can be loaded, This is usually caused by lack of HD space on E:\ or X:\. You can try FTPing (192.168.0.100:21) and correct the problem"

Well, when FTP:ing I have only 4 folders in C:\,

Audio, fonts, xboxdashdata.185ead00, xodash and 3 files: Xbox Book.xtf, Xbox.xtf, xboxdash.xbe.

In E:\ the FTP client shows these folders: app, dash, ndts, NKP11.

Well, the interesting thing is that if I hotswap and look in C:\ with xbrowser, then I have exactly the files you told me should be there, the 7 folders and 2 files.

I really dont understand this..

If you can get to the UnleashX file explorer then delete the contents of the X, Y and Z partitions, and reboot - or do it via ftp, whichever is easier.

So what happens when you boot the Xbox? How are you getting ftp access?

Heimdall · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2009, 06:04:00 PM »

Which disc have you got in the D drive?

Heimdall · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2009, 06:32:00 PM »

The D partition is ALWAYS the DVD drive, not just when you are using ftp...!

What happens when you boot without that in the drive.....

Is there any possibilty that its something wrong with the HD ?
I can't even boot original games, they shouldn't demand the right ms dash to boot right?
Is there any way i can extract the eeprom from the harddrive so that I can put another HD and look it with the eeprom?
I really can't work out what's wrong with it.

Or might it help choosing "build new hd from scratch" in xboxhdm menu?

Heimdall · « **Reply #23 on:** March 17, 2009, 03:51:00 PM »

The eeprom isn't on the hard drive, it's on the motherboard, so there's no way of extracting it from the disk. You could build an eeprom reader to get the eeprom from the motherboard.

In the meantime, "Build new hd from scratch" has got to be worth a try!

Tried the "Build new hd from scratch" but still without success.
Should I try another dash and in that case which one?
Why am I getting the error 21?
Why can't create new soundtrack in ms dash? (it says i have maximum 100)

Is there any chance of getting to work by trying out different kernel versions from the ndure 3.1 installer? Maybe the generic one?

Why are you creating soundtracks?

cause i wanted to see if my ms dash was able to copy music from an audio CD to the HD cause im suspecting that somehow the xbox has lost it's permission to write to HD and is in some kind of read only mode.

Heimdall · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2020, 06:13:00 PM »

If the disk was in read only mode then you'd probably get errors when using xboxhdm.

I'm still not convinced that there isn't a problem with the way you're building and using the xboxhdm boot disc ....

Build your xboxhdm disk using the stock C from Slayers / AID, and Kingroach NDURE 3.1. Put the stock C in linux/C, and the Kingroach 3.1 files in linux/ndure (the Kingroach C and E directories and the ndure script should be immediately below this i.e. linux/ndure/C/ and linux/ndure/E/.) Maybe try the generic fonts, as you suggest, but don't select any other options.

Hotswap and run xboxhdm, select option 1 - boot VGA Console, then type xboxhd, then select option 2 - Rebuild C partition on existing Xbox drive. Once that has finished exit, then type xbrowser, delete the contents of the E partition (this bit is new), run the ndure script, then select option 1.

Don't select any other xboxhd or ndure script options. Don't copy any other files. When you've finished, then from xbrowser you should see the seven folders and two files on C, and the four folders on E - nothing else.

Another interesting thing is that if i try to delete something from E:\ when FTPing and than refreshing the folder, all the folders names are changed into some cyrillic letters. If rebooting xbox and connecting again to FTP the folders names are back to normal.
This happens independently of what FTP client Im using, I've tryied the built in Internet Explorer's, FlashFXP, as well as WS_FTP.

I went today to buy a broken xbox on the market for about 15$..
I reliazed that just the dvd drive was broken, and i replaced it from my other xbox, and than started sofmodding it, just the same way as i did with the other one, just another kernel version.. and guess what...

IT WORKED PERFECTLY even at the first try...!!!

So the only thing i can figure out about the first xbox is that 1. ndure kernel v. 5838 doesnt work, or; something is wrong with the hardware on it...

Now im gonna look for some nice software for unleash x..! i heard somewhere that there is a N64 emulator for it,, gotta check that out!!
By the way, how do i play ordinary DVD movies on the xbox?
How do i quit a game to get back to unleash without having to reboot?
