Messed Up Xbox Whilst Installing Gentoox
« on: April 21, 2011, 04:15:00 PM »

Hello, considering that a softmod is a modification that runs in software, software that you have erased from the drive! I am guessing it is very borked.

I don't know which version of xbox you have but I am guessing your only route for recovery is a chip or TSOP flash, the latter being cheaper and easier.

Once TSOPed or chipped the exploit is written into the bios allowing for a little extra room for manouvre.

Not knowing much about softmods, I may be wrong about no road to recovery, but I am guessing it is going to take some hardware tinkering to dig it out of this one.

Good luck.

Already answered in the original post, and you are wrong - hardware mods are not the only option. xboxhdm / Kingroach will fix the problem just as easily.

Also, FYI, you can't TSOP flash an Xbox that won't boot a game, so TSOP isn't an option for fixing this Xbox.
