Lets See Here, u got the USB ready, with clean/non corrupted files for the dash, and for xboxmc, u also have working ndure 3.1, no one said it was easy, and thats why its free cuz it takes EFFORT! u hotswap at the right time, with both power and ide cable off the dvd drive, u hotswap and switch jumper to MASTER for xboxhdm, u start process using both xboxhdm and xbrowser ndure3.1 midnight commander, u replace C with Ndure (which may have the files wrong or corrupted, spliff told me to use only core files,ndure basic, unknowk kernel,and last but not least the xboxhdm , so what u gotta do is try the heck outta ndure when ur setting it up on your usb, just try and try again), and ur done, then when switching back u return the jumper to CS, plug everything back and then turn off the xbox, the turn it back on, its basically the process, just make sure u have no corrupted files or a bad cable that might be twisting, its not easy man, tons of us have problems, i havent been able to softmod it, just keep messing it up just to xboxhdm again and again to retail xbox, im not trying to be stupid, but im just ranting back, lol, + i just joined so i need the posts, ;p, imma keep trying with mine, and as soon as i get it ill post the exact steps i took, it would be killer to turn this 30 dollar machine to a hundred dollar entertainment center, Hailz From SoCal, Keep The Metal Faith Alive \m/
