I have almost the exact same problem, except I can still get my games to work... I am also about to go look for an xbox to buy. Wish there was another alternative.

if you can boot games, boot one play a bit then pause, hotswap and load your ndure on pc and check the xbox hdd file structure to see whats missing. If you boot without a game in does it seem to load a dash but just a black screen with no red led errors ?

Well the first xbox on which the softmod didnt work out i have thrown into the basement cause i have already spent about 3 days with that shit.. My "broken" xbox that i bought today works really great.. no probs at all.

If I would boot the last xbox without a game inside i would just get the black screen with text about that required resources cant be loaded cause of lack on HD space..

Ok, going back to before I posted last I built a boot disk using Slayer's C and E and ndure, when I tried it, I got the same results flubber, then its like a dash is starting <i say this because there apears to be a hic-up on the screen, then it stays black with almost a green tint to it, and no numbers or letters anywhere..

That said, I was going to try the game and hotswap... Well... I cant get any game to start now...
Tried many multiple combinations of starting, IE: power button vs. CD tray... I am going to unplug it for about an hour then try again... Wish me luck...
BTW:

Did u select the correct kernel version during ndure setup?
If you did a backup in ndure you can reverse it..

as i understood it the eeprom keeps the keys for the hardware, which are necessary if your HD would crash and u'r going to replace it.

K.1.00.5838.01
D 1.00.5960.01

And I selected 5838

I believe I did a backup with ndure I could swear it! How do I find out and use it?

Couldnt edit my last post a second time, it will still not play games for some reason it just quit...

I cant seem to find any answers, called around to all the game stops, none of wich have any xbox's for sale, one did have a memory card and a splinter cell copy so I picked them up, thats what I need to try to softmod without hotswaping right? I looked onn my HD where I backed up my xbox's C and E drives, I didnt see any eeprom.bin in there. BTW I know what eeprom is now so no need to answer the question b4.

Can I use any old HD and rebuild on it, or is my xbox just a large unsightly paper weight?

Well, I'm out... Tail between my legs and moral low.
K.1.00.5838.01
D 1.00.5960.01

That is the same kernel version that i had on my first xbox that i never got to run!
You can restore the backup if u hotswap, boots to linux with your discs, types xbrowser, run ndure.. i think it was the 4 th option "restore backup" or something like that.. Well I never got that to work myself..
When i bought my 2nd xbox i had kernel 5101 and it worked great to softmod it.
If it still doesnt work try to put the general kernel version i ndure installer and make a new boot disc, and go all thru the installation again.. I never tried this out because i got another xbox so cheap..
Or i can recommend you to get a "broken" xbox cheap somewhere, as i did.
If the xbox has not been opened the chances are big that just the laser is worn out, than you can replace it with the one from your 1st xbox.. Like i did..
Also, when softmodding, you should ground the PC chassis with the chassi of the xbox to avoid electrical shocks both for your hardware as well as for you.. I read somewhere that the ground levels between em could differ 108 V.

I must go back and say that I have sucessfuly softmodded this xbox! It was all working fine until I tried to play a dvd, thats when it started going to a black screen.

Madnezz · « **Reply #40 on:** March 20, 2009, 04:35:00 PM »

HEY HEY!!! My friend donated an 80gig Seagate lockable HD for Operation: Xbox's aren't Paperweights.

Trying to build it as U read...

Madnezz · « **Reply #41 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:40:00 PM »

well, to do a new HD u have to have the eeprom.bin as well huh? well that would have sucked, had I not tried one more sugestion, and that was to unplug my XB dvd drives power and see if my HD unlocked...

IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh HAPPY MOFOOKIN DAY!!!!!!

Thanx for all the help, Trying to figure out configmagic now so I have a backuop of myu eeprom

Hi, I want to say that i have the same problem.

I had build a bootable cd with slayers c and d and ndure and get only a Blackscreen.
I have the same Kernel 5838 on my Xbox 1.0.

I have bought a already softmodded box and have mad a Backup CD with hdm so I can always make my Xbox working if there is anything wrong.

Maybe there is Problem with the Softmod on 5838 Kernel ?

Can please someone explain to me was the Kernel are ? Is it something in the Original Msdash or on a Chip.
Why have the oldest Xbox 1..0 the newest Kernel?

I only wanted to change my Softmod to the Ndure Softmod.

I apologized for my English is it not my Mother Language

Hi,

I finally get it working.
I have selected the wrong Kernel. I think because my Xbox was already Softmodded It shows me under the MS Dasboard Settings the wrong Kernel
There it shows Kernel 5838
Dash 5659 (this was a reason for me too to upgrade the Softmod)

But i read on this Post there are no Xbox 1.0 with a Native 5838 Kernel.

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...&qpid=50910

In the Settings of the evox.ini there it shows something like:
Bios originally 4034.

So I make all again and selected in the Nure installer the 4034 Kernel.
Ftp C and E to my Xbox and now I have unleash X on my Xbox.

So I think to look in the MS dash to find out the correct version of the Kernel is not the Best Idea on a already Softmodded Version.

bye Baldur
