Does that program enable me to edit the MSdash to put in my own submenus and so on as shown in the screenshot a while back. Or are you still working on that and the tutorial for it???

Cheers guys,

Johno

No. You still have to manually edit mainmenu5.xip.

This stuff is awesome, keep up the good work guys.

One question though: can any of this be used towards XBOX live and getting around getting banned? Just wondering. Even specualations would be appreciated.

there are already many ways around that...

No, the Xbox Live banning is written to your EEprom, which this thread doesn't even touch.

It's a result of the LPC bus beging active on your console when Live does a check. When the LPC bus is active, a flag is written to the eeprom so that next time you connect (or attempt) to XBL you will be banned. The matrix in mode 3 does not affect anything either, as the lpc bus is still active in mode 3.

Only way to date to get around banning is either not to get banned at all, or find a clean eeprom, use it to relock your HD with config magic etc etc.

wrong!it doesn't check the lpc.it checks the bios that is cached in ram and if this is not the original one you'll get banned.

this hack will not allow you to use hdd backups on live because the xboxdash.xbe gets unsigned i think.even if the dash would start the games still are unsigned and wouldn't run

Well, playing around with pixit, I've been trying and trying to add additional tabs. I'm having no luck, so I ask the person who had this success first.

vulgusprofanum, could u post how u did it? I'd love to experiment w/ additional tabs. Also, how'd u make the submenu?

In the end, I'd want to setup my tabs like so:

Games (or Storage)
Memory
Music
Settings
Evolution-X (for ftp until something is integrated)

Atm, I've got the live setup w/ 4 buttons, although I changed the live button to launch evox and it now says "Evolution-X"

Could u help a brotha out?

When you report problem, try to add more detail infor.

BIOS Type / Version

Dashboard Version

Commands you have executed to update the xip files and xbe program.

etc.

The more detailed, the eaiser it is to diagnose.

This program is working great so far =)

I will post some tutorials in the next few days

BTW SCan-C, you are incorrect. The HD on a banned xbox is "untouched", (yes it does a bios check), but the banning goes on the eeprom.

Proof lies wherein you replace the eeprom with a valid unbanned eeprom, and boot directly from the original BIOS off the TSOP, you'll see how magically this xbox is no longer banned.

i never said the hdd is affected.i wanted to point out that this hack discussed in this thread will not enable you to play games of the hdd without a modbios because it's unsigned code
