Error #6 After Locking With Correct Eeprom
« on: June 21, 2012, 12:25:00 PM »

If you are getting error 6 then you definitely haven't locked it with the correct eeprom.

Did you rename your eeprom file eeprom.bin in lower case before building the xboxhdm iso?
Did you select option 3, then type lockhd -a?

I just saw i named it EEPROM.bin
Can that be the problem? As it had to be lowercase?

Yes, it has to be lower case.

I just did this:
Unlock using master password with atapwd
Unlock using unlockx

The comand said it unlocked the drive (which doesn't when not unlocking with atapwd)

However i still have the error #6 and unlockx says "Not lockable"

You need to Unlock And dissble with atapwd..
Unlock will only temporerealy unlock it. Dissable or remove lock "i dont remember what its called off the top of my head" has to be used after unlock with master password..

so unlock using master password,
then
Dissable using master password..

when the hard disk is unlocked use explorer360 to find all eeprom.bin files you can find on the hard disk.
Then you can either tell us where exactly you found them on the drive..
OR you can make a disk for each one and try and try again till you dont get eror 6..

Well it seems my stock HDD stopped working...
Luckily i have a 80GB Seagate which seems to be compatible, which i tried to use in the XBox too by using the same method, which gave an error #6 also.

So, maybe i do it wrong, or the EEPROM is really incorrect.
How can i check if the EEPROM is the correct one?

Anybody can help me?
Is there a way to verify the validity of an EEPROM, other than the serial?
Because i'm pretty sure it's the correct one.

I managed to fix it by generating a HDD key (in option 1) and using the generated key with unlockx (in option 4). This time it worked.
