Slayers will restore the whole hard drive.  Don't use it that way.  Extract the iso into another folder in simplexiso.  Then search around the contents, until you find the dashboard files.  Then ftp it to your xbox.

WTF?

What's this 'invite only' crap?!

Got sLaYeRs and extracted the ISO.  

I see default.xbe

I went ahead and put it in C:

Doesn't work.  Attempts to go to the MS Dashboard takes be right back to Evox.


What am I doing wrong?  I powered all the way down btw.  Still, to no avail.

I have a first gen chip installed BTW.  Executer 1.

I tried renaming it as well...  Still nothing.

which default.xbe ??
micro dash is always named xbosdash.xbe
even inside slayer
the default.xbe that takes you back to evox is acutally evox it self.
the xboxdash.xbe can be found in /SYSTEM/ALL/c/ folder of slayer cd...

renaming the evoxdash to default.xbe and moving the xboxdash.xbe (ms) to the same directory resulted in the XBOX booting to the 'needs service' screen.

Good thing I had the evox boot cd with me.

Why is this not working?

Should I be editing the evox.ini or something?

try moving the default.xbe (evox) somewhere else....
so the only xbe is xboxdash.xbe (micro$) in c drive
and did you lock your hdd ?

Title: I Erased My Msdash.xbe
Post by: DaCocoBrova on August 08, 2003, 12:57:00 AM

It's the HDD that comes with the XBOX.

I notice my evox.ini references xdash.xbe.

Should I change that or should I leave the .ini alone?

_______________________________________

Just putting the xboxdash.xbe on c: by iteslf gives me the 'Needs Service' screen (no number in the corner) everytime.

I'm dealing with the same problem in an attempt to restore my original dashboard.  I'm receiving the "needs service" error whenever I use the xboxdash.xbe file.  Where can I find this "slayers" disc?

hit the search button and type this in the search box :

Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer

or try this :

Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer

plan and simple


Get slayers cd.


look for xboxdash.xbe on slayers cd

ftp xboxdash.xbe from slayers cd to your xbox c: drive (do not rename it)

rename default.xbe to evoxdash.xbe that is in your xbox c: drive (i read that you have default.xbe in the root of c:)

If it doesnt work, I will buy your broken xbox for 30 bucks.

Everything works, but the only way I can get into the original M$ dash, is to delete the default.xbe.  Then it'll go into the M$dash after a reboot.


But I still have no way of hitting the M$ dash from evox.

Something tells me I have to hex edit something.

Did you have to sign the xboxdash.xbe from Slayers disc first?
also can someone give me a list of the files on the hdd (partition c:), thx


To have access to the msdash from evox, you have to hexedit the dash and change all the xtf to xft I think..
