Mostly for the fact that I haven't kept up with all this Ndure tweakin' shit so I haven't a damn clue whats what anymore, lol. I'm still using pre-Live fonts and I hear thats not necessary anymore.
If people are too dumb to get this working I'll make a quick guide for it on XGuides.

A nice, clean, do-everything system only puts adding new programs in the hands of the user, and thats really hard to botch.
It only uses MechAssault though, any plans to port it to other games later?

The readme just came from a MA version. The others are done too. I notified the xbins staff so it's just a mather of time before they're up.

i just checked xbins and nothing yet!
loved your last installer and looking forward to this one!
Would there be a way to set it up so it boots with POWER button to retail and when booting with Tray out to modded state. I say this because that would be the COOLEST thing ... everyone could play the xbox as RETAIL and forget about it... then When booting with TRAY OUT ... LCD changes to ORANGE and up pops XBMC!... push tray in and it stays modded.
Cold boot retail. Power button retail. Eject button tray staying in OPEN position changes the xbox to modded. Super Stealth soft-mod!
Post by: ipodder2003 on August 10, 2005, 03:30:00 PM
That's been gone over several times before, it's not practical in the slightest. To play an original game you need to eject the tray, so it makes more sense to have one button press than two.

Once I hit ok to troubleshoot it then begins to update the dash. I think to fix the connection aspect of this problem I need to set the dash to STATIC in both MS Dash, installer dash, as well as the Installed dash. I say this because part of the README says this, but i admit im a little confoozed. Any help would be most appreciated! and again Thank You !

#1 Does or possibly CAN the ndure/sceee installer that you have designed have the ability to uninstall the softmod and reinstall the softmod without the exploitable game? I know the app is designed to turn it on or off. If not (which I am suspecting) CAN the app be tweaked for this, or would the portion of code that you need from the exploitable game be to large to fit onto a mem card?

None of the EE exploits can have the ability to completely restore the C drive since the EEE itself is located on the C drive. The best you could do is restore the C root to stock so just the dashdata folder contains modded files. The UEEE is worhtless anyway since it denies xblive dashboard acces. So only the SCEEE would be somewhat "usefull" but is way too large to fit on a mem card. But since the files needed for SCEEE are also on a SC disc there could be other possibilities for SC owners.

I recently bought a second Xbox because my friend wants to buy the one I have now from me. I made the mistake of creating my Live! account on the old Xbox before upgrading my HD, but I never went on to Live! after the upgrade so I beleive I should be safe from being previously banned. With this new Xbox I want to go about it the right way by upgrading the HD first before I recover the account on it (Because of current Marriage Theory of eeprom.bin and HD serial number being linked after installation of Live!).
1. Softmod stock HD with NDURE installer.
2. FTP into stock HD and copy the eeprom.bin to the linux>eeprom folder in xboxhdm 1.9 as well as copy the entire modded C:\ from the Xbox to the xboxhdm's linux>C folder.
3. Make the bootable disc for xboxhdm and do the proceedure to unlock and lock the drive as well as create the Xbox partitions for the new HD and copy over the files for the Xbox C:\ drive and eeprom.bin file from the xboxhdm boot disc.
4. After doing the steps to set up the new HD for use, put the new HD back into the xbox and boot up.
5. Revert back to retail state by switching the softmod off.
6. Access the Live! account recovery feature and re-activeate my XBL account from my older Xbox.
7. Enjoy XBL with retail games by cold booting games with the eject button using the dual retail multiboot, almost worry free of being banned. (I know it isn't 100% fool proof)
That is how I believe its supposed to be done, but I'm not 100% positive. The tutorial for xboxhdm by Kingroach says to put the Slayer's C:\ content onto the xboxhdm linux>C folder for the bootable disc, but I remember putting the modified files from the modded stock HD into the linux>C folder when i upgraded the HD on the older Xbox. I'd appriciate it if anyone can confirm if what I think is the way to do it is correct. Thank you guys for your time, I know its a long post.
Oh and if it matters, the old Xbox was a 1.6. The one I just bought is a 1.6b or whatever version the ones manufactured on April of 2005 are.

@Millions Knives, xboxhdm has some checksums so it doesnt copy modified xboxdash.xbe in the C:\ root.. so if you use the modded C drive, after building the hd. In xbrowser make sure that it copied xboxdash.xbe to C:\ root correctly..
other than that your plan looks fine..
other than that your plan looks fine..
So my best bet is to just copy the C:\ files from Slayer's into xboxhdm's linux>C folder and then just reinstall the softmod after I put the drive into the Xbox.

there should be ways to detect the kernel version but it requires you to be some wizkid and put together some xbe that scans the kernel version. From my understanding an xbox that doesn't work with the generic fonts have yet to be discovered.
Hi krayzie,

BTW, I have a Xbox (v1.6) which generic fonts don't work, I got some issues with them.
i.e. If I reboot the xbox via EvolutionX menu with the tray open, the xbox frooze in a black screen. So, I put the fonts for kernel 5838, then it works fine.
Hope, you know what I'm doing wrong or if the xbox just work with generic fonts.

My suggestion: Use the settings tab in M$ dash (unmodded) to change the real eeprom settings. You cant use the live dashboard unless you unmod your c drive. Use any dash to change the network settings in modded state.
You can also remove the virtual eeprom by replacing your nkpatcher (run a BIOS loader or savegame exploit to disable the virtual C) BUT beware that you dont edit/flash your eeprom with shit then or your box wont boot (hard to do but not impossible).

"network" and "live" settings aint exactly the same. Network/video/audio settings are saved in the EEPROM, and since the modded state uses a virtual eeprom (unmodded used the real eeprom) they differ.
My suggestion: Use the settings tab in M$ dash (unmodded) to change the real eeprom settings. You cant use the live dashboard unless you unmod your c drive. Use any dash to change the network settings in modded state.
You can also remove the virtual eeprom by replacing your nkpatcher (run a BIOS loader or savegame exploit to disable the virtual C) BUT beware that you dont edit/flash your eeprom with shit then or your box wont boot (hard to do but not impossible).

i've been discusing this with Eh/NP already and it seems the Network settings are not stored in the (Virtual) eeprom. There's a whole paragraph in the readme on how to adjust network settings for xblive use.
Removing the shadow eeprom won't do any good anyway since the then real eeprom is write protected and returns to default on each power cycle.

Replacing NKpatcher or running a BIOS loader should remove any eeprom "protection" (shadowing or write protecting) as i suggested, but isn't needed (from what i understand).
Why did you take the readme offline BTW, im kinda curious but dont have any FTP apps right now.

Nkpatcher boots to a multilaunch xbe which then boots first to E:\dashboard\default.xbe
@ NP: That seems to confirm yours (and eventually mine) findings. However it may be nice to add that every boot from a configured dashboard will overwrite any previous network setting. (at least with unleashx since that's the only one I tested.)

if you set the network to your liking in the regular replacement dashboard (unleashx/evox) and in all dashes you might come across (installer menu) those settings will be stored and therefore also active in the unmodded dash (thus no need to set it in there)

I'm not sure which network settings are included with the above statement. I have 2 softmods done Krayzie fashion with completely hidden C. I had asked a long time ago if there was a problem using the same virtual eeprom on multiple boxes and at the time I couldn't find any reason not to. Well, I eventually found out why this wasn't a good idea. I was having a problem connecting 2 boxes together that had the same virtual eeprom. If I connected them through KAI from different houses it was ok, but in the same network in the same house they would see each other but not allow to join the game. I could ftp into each one while they were both on no problem. After looking around I noticed that the mac addresses were the same and this was causing the problem. Putting on the proper eeprom.bin changed the mac addresses and solved the connection issues. This can be seen in MS dash-settings-network settings in the bottom right corner. Does this not count as a network setting in regards to the previous posts? Or does that only apply to the latest softmod style?

I usually always recommended people to use their OWN eeprom since it contains scecific information of that xbox like MAC adresses. If you choose to do such a thing it's not strange such things could happen.

Yep for a live acount set up the ndure must be inactive
There is a multiboot uninstall option between the other multiboot options
And yeah the msdash gets hosed in dashupdates while coldbooting. this is yet an unfixable bug from the ndure exploit. so you see that option to restore is to fix it when that happens.

Going forward, I see the Ndure 'fonts' setup as an opportunity to further enhance the (already awesome!) Ndure installers.

Had used your UXE installer before and I am continually impressed. Easy to install, informative readme and step by step info.
Which leads me to a (most likely stupid) question.
I've installed dual-boot to retail so now when I press eject it boots with green LED into the MS dashboard and in the readme it says its safe for XBL. As yet I havent ventured back onto XBL through this method but I've read previous posts that state downloading updates and accessing the Xbox LIVE menu / Friends list is not possible in this state.
With that in mind what exactly does safe for XBL mean? Can you go ahead and play retail games over XBL as normal without any risk of being banned (I realise there is always some risk)...
I guess your readme statement about this can be interpreted many ways and I am a bit confused... and not the only one it seems.
Cheers.
Post by: Ndure protagonist on August 23, 2005, 10:54:00 AM
Re. Ndure 'retail' being safe on XBL ... the MS kernel is left in memory (it's unhacked) so it complies with live's "unmodded bios" mandate.

Post by: A Murder of Crows on August 24, 2005, 11:01:00 PM
I just upgraded the hard drive in my box, complying with the marrige theory. i have no *IMMEDIATE* plans to go on Live, but i wanted the option just to make sure.
I like UnleashX and XBMC as my dashboards, and i like chosing between them, but XBMC isn't quite up to handling all all my dashboard needs yet (on the fly text editor for one, plus sometimes it feels a little clunky to navigate thru)
eventually, when i feel XBMC is ready, i'll want to replace my main dash with it. For now, i'm curious about my booting options. i read thru the readme several times. here's my question:
Dual Retail - Allows boot into Live-Safe & Enabled M$Dash if i hit eject button?
Dual Save - Allows boot to the initial installer menu
does this mean that if i dual Save, i can turn off the mod and that it will automaticlly turn itself back on when i next coldboot using the eject button (tray out)?
*EDIT*
Found this one out myself by trying it. answer was no, gotta go back into the game and renable the mod. no biggie....cept i think i have a new problem now....i accessed Live, but didn't create an account....have i just married my hard drive to my box???
aside from being able to access the save without needing the game, is there any benefit over using Dual Retail?
Lastly, if i go ahead and put XBMC as an ALTDash now, will i be able to choose another dual/triple boot method later?
thanx!

Again can you just confirm what is meant by "live safe msdash"... is it meant that its safe just for recieving friends requests, game updates etc... or for actually playing online with retail games?

doing so you'd find the guide to using Krayzie's UXE installer...which installs the exact same way.
but yes, copy them both over at the same time if you can fit them on your AR, or copy them one at a time. doesn't matter, so long as they both get there. for whatever reason SPlinter Cell exploits need 2 seperate saves (i might be wrong about this, but i believe it was split due to size constraints on the AR).
Post by: krayzie on August 25, 2005, 01:01:00 PM
make sure there are no other SC saves present
Post by: A Murder of Crows on August 25, 2005, 01:04:00 PM

Does anyone know if this exploit works with Halo2 with the most recent update which seems to have been scanning for softmod files?
Can a backup XBL game be played in the XBL safe mode? Or still need originals?
Are XBL games in general PLAYABLE in XBL safe mode?
Do this newest saves fit on AR discs?
Thanks in advance - I love the easy of the UXE MA installer
Post by: krayzie on August 26, 2005, 12:30:00 AM
for xboxlive you can still only use retail games
xbl games are playable in "unmodded" state/mode
it is slimmed down even more so they should fit

No, you can't simply FTP that stuff onto an unmodded xbox, as you can't FTP into an unmodded xbox. Your xbox needs to be modded to FTP into it (modchip, TSOP, Softmod). In order to install the exploit onto another xbox, put the savegame from your PC (not the one from your xbox) onto your AR/USB stick/Memory Unit and use your exploitable game to install it on anther xbox. Or try hotswapping (search, if you don't know what that means).

I have a modded Box with the very first UXE Mod (at least I think that it's the very first, from ~1 year ago). I want to upgrade to the Ndure Mod for playing live, but my UXE is modified with XBMC as default dash. And now I'm really confused. Do I have a nice installer where I just press a few buttons and everything is ready? Or do I need to first update my dash (could that break my current softmod) and then use my current softmod to ftp ndure things over to c, overwriting the old softmod's files and everything will be fine? Or should I try to completely uninstall my current softmod? (After ftping the ndure MA savegame over)
I hope you guys can help me

boot up in modded state, and load MSdashboard from your shadowC.
I fixed the problem - uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, and RPC1 patched the xboxdash.xbe again - works fine. I believe the other RPC1 version I was using was looking at a different folder for its fonts, and therefore crashed whenever I hit a key on the dongle to make the yellow text appear on the screen (eg. "Selection Unavailable" or "Chapter 2")
All sorted now though

Either way if the C drive is shadowed properly it'll boot the MS dash just fine. I believe there's a hack to enable controller-based DVD support in the MS Dashboard (surprise, surprise, its as easy as changing "no" to "yes" since MS included controller support but simply disabled it!).
You could also give XBMC a whirl, as I think it has (limited, no menu's) DVD support.

whats the deal with the front led? i guess its to signify the state your in? green for xbox live! safe?
and could someone let me know what would be on the c:\ drive of a stock hdd after this softmod? at the moment mine has; audio, fonts, xboxdashdata 185ead00 and xodash folders; settings_adoc.zip, xbox book.xtf, xbox.xtf and xboxdash.xbe files. i think that some of that is the result of my previous softmod so i just want to clean it up basicly.

You can also change the color of the LED in the modded state at any time in UnleashX by going to the System Settings (From main menu, System>Settings>System) and then scroll down to "LED Color" and choose from there.
As for the files on the c:\ they should consist of...

/fonts
/xboxdashdata.185ead00
/xodash
XBox Book.xtf

krayzie, although there's a workaround, will you be fixing* the installer so that non-'dual retail' setups don't suffer from this "implementation bug" unnecessarily?

If you're using Action Replay to transfer Krayzie's Ndure Installer over to your xbox make sure that you use M$ memory cards, that are blank of course

Coldboot = booting a retail game directly (thus not loading anything from the HD)
Only coldbotting or the "retail" (tray open boot) msdash are live safe. You cant even connect to live in modded mode, Nkpatcher blocks it.

Post by: blackice_39 on September 03, 2005, 10:08:00 PM
I understand exactly what you are saying. The truth is that you can not access live through th msdash IF you access it through unleash X. Because though you switch to the MS dash from unleash X the box is still in modded form and any time you try to actually send the packet that establishes a connection with Live the wonderful NKpatcher bloxks it for you.
Another hint is to be able to tell that you shouldn't try to sign in is that once you go from unleash X to the MSdash take a look @ your light and you'll notice that it is still orange (or whatever you set it to). Best not to try live...though , again, nkpatcher will block it

You have to format G. Look for tutorials to do that. Don't try to use the installers format G function cuz it doesn't work.

If you are somewhat experienced ypu can try to look at Ndure protagonist DDEEE or UAEEE or (or something like that) to get some kind of easter egg going. Since the UEEE has no benefits over a dual retail setup it's no use to try that. It's better to also not use SCEEE atm since it consumes to much space. If people really want some kind of easter egg feature (even though they probably need it on rare occasions) I will look into making some kind of add on package some day.

You are unable to access the Live! Dashboard, but you can still play games on Live!). If you want to access the Live! Dashboard for any reason you can turn the softmod on/off by accessing the game save installer through your game of choice and choosing the option "Switch softmod on/off".
I have been doing soft mods for almost a year now (also this is first post) and by far love this installer. AWESOME JOB KRAYZIE!!!!!!! Drove myself nuts doing dual retail boot for friends XBox wondering why I couldn't access any of the Live Dashboard stuff, but could access stuff for Splinter Cell. I even fixed blank screen problem.
I like to learn and just curious why you can play Live, but can't access Live dash if it is a safe virutal C:. Looking forward to info.
Once again, to Krayzie and all the soft mod magic conjurors making soft mods possible. YOU ARE AWESOME AND I BOW TO THEE!!!!

@fiveskinoff
If ur USB storage device dunb work, try another (trust digital camaras seem to work, just reformat it from the built in menu when ur done using it for ur xbox). If yur really cant get it to work, hotswap the installer/exploit on via xboxhdm.

1. i got the ar to download called 007 save but the rescue disk doesnt load.
2.when i get to the james bond game iget to the load game screen and i DONT'T select load game but start a new one. Then when i reached the actual
game (after the cutscene), i hit the start button and select quit game, Then i went back to the load game screen and this time i hit select "load game". when i go in the screen goes black for 30 minutes and i think it froze
. what do i do? Post by: Cartman117 on September 12, 2005, 06:53:00 PM
2. Make sure its the ONLY 007 save on your xbox. And be sure to choose load from Xbox Hard Disk. Not the Mem card.

Will a standard CAT5 network cable connect an xbox to a pc and for ftp access to work? I'm on 56k, so there is no router between the pc and xbox. I'm guessing I would at least have to manually set the IP on the xbox to like 192.168.0.2 and then everything would work right? The main reason for the question is for me to find out if it will be necessary to buy a crossover cat5 cable.
Thanks in advance...
Post by: xman954 on September 12, 2005, 07:44:00 PM
or you can cut a standard cable and swap 4 wires to make it a crossover

Go to BST (or any of ur friends that dont use live) and get a virgin eeprom (hasn't been on live) for your xbox. 1.6 boxes need a 1.6 xbox, 1.0 to 1.5 can use the same (AFAIK)
Use the ndure installer for PC and xboxhdm to create a new HD and lock it with that new eeprom!
Now get config magic final and the new eeprom.bin on ur xbox. Use config magic to update ur eeprom with the new one.
Config magic will tell you to unlock the drive and you should (ou wont need the old drive anymore). Once the eeprom is updated, fit the new HD and tadaa ur done.

!Anyway i have a query which is gonna seem kind of obvious but i am still a noob at this.
Loaded V.1.0 which i picked up from the usual places. Installation went very smoothly.
I now want to mod my mate's son's xbox for him.
I used MA Ndure installer for the mod.
Can anyone tell me if i am simply able to transfer the Mech Assault game save called "Run Linux" (which is 635 blocks, apparently) from the hard drive to a game save device & then copy that to this second xbox? & then run MA & load the save? Or do i need the original "udata" zip file currently stored on PC?
i ask because when checking the hard drive I see a save which was not there before the install. It is a XBOX save (no game name) entitled "LoadIni © g0at3r"
Is this perhaps the virtual c drive or related to it in some way?
I want to repeat, thanks Krayzie for the opportunity to breathe some life into my version 1.0 Xbox & thanks to everyone who contributes to this whole scene.
Post by: krayzie on September 15, 2005, 10:41:00 PM
And never heard of a save named that way. It's probably created by some app you ran.

First please excuse my approximate English ....
I found damage that your work is ignored French-speaking people.
I actually translated and slightly adapted your installer. I never intended to steal your work and I hope that you understood it thus. This is why I entirely preserved the routine of installation, without tried to hide though it is.
I hope that you will understand my approach ...
On the other hand, I ensure the follow-up of it on gueux, the French-speaking people should not thus come here to complain ! :D
Post by: krayzie on September 29, 2005, 10:34:00 PM
My only concern was since the aboudeur installer was released on xbins a lot of non-french people used it and then came here to complain how to remove the french evox.ini. Since this version is only available through your own (French) community this problem should not occur.

-After i backed up the eeprom and installed Ndure on a box, my friend was messing around in Evox dash and selected backup option again before i copied the original eeprom to my computer........is the backup still "Stock" and ok to use to restore the box to retail?

yes you can switch off and setup your acount
and yes both the backup made by evox in the dashboard folder and the eeprom in the backups eeprom folder can be used in apps needing it.

I do not use mirc or ftp's but I have experience with ftp. However, I hate using mirc. Why can't someone upload it to www.yousendit.com (will only take like 2 minutes to upload) and post the download link somewhere we can all EASILY get the file.

nkpatcher is not ndure and vice/versa.
when you are running nkpatcher your kernal is already modified, and nkpatcher is meant to run from a retail kernal.

i'm about to install a big hard drive into my xbox (250gb)
i was under the impression that i should use nkpatcher 0.67 for this, but when i did that last night for someone else, the "Format G Drive" option never showed up.
So....the question i have is, should i still use nkpatcher 0.67?
also, i've already softmodded my current hard drive and i've got the setting just about perfect. when i install the new drive, i'd REALLY love to be able to just "plug and play" so to speak.
using XBOXHD and my current system, i plan on FTPing into the box and copying the C and E drives completely....my question is, which mode do i have to FTP into to get the proper C drive files so that i do not have to re-install the mod?
thank you
Post by: krayzie on October 19, 2005, 10:37:00 PM
You can format G using Evox or unleashx. There are tutorials. Search around.
If you don't want to reinstall you need to ftp in from the gamesave installer menu. This will let you copy your real C. and E drive

The reason I ask is that every drive I have modded so far has locked and cannot be unlocked. XBOXHDM shows that there is no primary hard drive attached. So far this has locked 2 WD800B drives, a Seagate ST380011A and all stock drives.

Not sure if my answer is correct, but what eeprom image are you using in xboxhdm to lock the drive? It's possible you may be using an eeprom.bin of the "virtual" eeprom as opposed to the real one. Maybe someone else can tell me if this is correct?
The one you need to use (I believe) is the eeprom.bin in E:\backups

No. When I mod with another gamesave exploit, I can lock and unlock the hdd as many times as I wish. As soon as I try Krayzie's method, the drives are permanently locked. This is ok if you want to tie a drive down to a single box forever, but if you want to swap it out into another box then you're stuck. Apparantly there's a Mac app that can be used to unlock frozen drives, but the download on this site appears to have gone.

3. i would be able to get the updates for live and live enabled games without being banned.
are all of these correct? thanks.

Lets see...updates for live stuff, yes that'd work fine, cept the first time you launch them they may run dashupdate.xbe so you may need to turn off the mod for the first run and the nu can turn it back on

OK I installed Krazies Ndure installer on my stock xbox and everything works. This morning I try to play madden 2005 for the first time and it wont go on live. So I load other games and they wont go on live either.
So I reopen the ndure installer and turn off the softmod. At this point I get error 21. I can reboot from a game and reopen the installer to turn softmod on, but how do I turn it off without error 21?

Sweet Daddy J!
Used xboxhdm v1.9 and it locked down a treat. And now I've a host of freed up drives again as well. Life just keeps getting better.

I hear there has been some kind of live update.
Should i either
1. Completely Remove the softmod before going on live. Then reinstall
2. Turnoff the softmod before going on live, then turn it back on.
3. Leave it in dual boot and boot from the eject button to live.
thanks roger

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this....
I modded using Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.0
The install worked like a charm and I have been using it for about a month now.
Today I am trying to upgrade my hdd. I used xboxhdm formatted locked etc..
When I place the new drive in my xbox it boots to the MS dashboard.
Do I need to run the save game exploit to get back into unleashX?
I copied everything over from C: and E:
Thanks in advance.

I asked a question that would have your answer.
Krayzie's NDure method makes use of a Shadow C drive image when in it's normal modded mode. You have to go into Mech Assault, launch the exploit, and ftp in from there to see your real C and E drives. if you want an exact copy of your modded xbox drive (fully modded and ready to go), those are the files you need to copy.
Generally, I just use the Backup C as a base, allowing me 100% stock with a bigger hard drive. I also put the save game files onto the drive in E so i don't have to copy them over with a memory card again. from there, i just reinstall. a pain at times, but i felt a fresh plate was always better to work with.

I didn't think that changes made to the network settings in the modded dash affected the unmodded one? But if so, can a new XBL account be created from the modded dash, then used in the unmodded dash?

I've tried the installer on a crystal box (I think 1.6b K 5838 D 5960) with Splinter Cell Pal.
I transferred the save game with an ActionReplay.
the first try didn't work.. the game save wouldn't load and the box was freezed..
with a second try same result. I've tried to load a different save (from AR cdrom) and it worked.. I've played a couple of min and tried another time.. this time the savegame worked and I was in the unleash dash.. before doing anything I tried to turn off the console and to boot the hacked savegame again.. on it was ok.
-backed up the eprom and followed the read me.. nkpatcher.06 ... UnleashX as dash.. all ok until the reboot.. error 13.. ARGH!
ok.. don't panic.. load SC again and the hacked save game.. ok now I have access to the ftp.. and to the menu.. I removed the softmod rebooted and all is ok again.. no error 13, no softmod..
after a few day I've tried again.. I removed the savegame, and allthe files from the memory menu on the ms dash.. transferred again the hacked savegame BUT.. every time I try to load it I got an error 21..
any idea?
PS: sorry for my horrible english
I hope you can understand..

Action Replay not liking the installer save for some reason. I thought that it was already prepared for Action Replay use. Anyone that could point me at the appropriate guide for this? I've tried the USB stick guide for making a compatible save for AR and that also didn't work. AR won't find the save. I'm using an offical S-Pad with M$ Memory card. Both are working fine. But AR won't accept the save.

Using the Splinter Cell version, my Gameshark card corrupted the saves, but I have since become the WORLD CHAMPION of hotswap and xboxhdm.
And I've made some progress: now I get a black screen when I choose "Checkpoints". It stayed black for over half an hour each go round.
Dash 5960, Kernel 3944, an old version 1.0, no other exploits in C:, just has the flash enable bridges closed. I also completely deleted the existing gamesaves before xbrowsering everything over. I made no mods to the Krayzie's Ndure Installer package except to substitute my necessary 1MB bios. (Not that I got far enough to need it!)
I've absolutely pored over the guides before I came to whine. I'm leaving for supper and I'm going to try to score an old AUF or MA title, but if anyone had similar symptoms and overcame I'd appreciate some enlightenment.

@ kics: yes it will need that version. it should mention that in the readme
@ int3rsc0p3: It needs a stock state. If ltools backed up the C drive nicely and replaces it and leaves no funky stuff on E like a backups or dashboard folder then it should be good. You would still need the latest dashboard though before you can use the save. it works on any xbox version
@ Safrole. In theory you could use any bios. BUT the bios in the package is not used for the softmod setup it installs. It's only used for the installer itself (turning off virtual partitions and stuff). Replacing it would fail if not set to boot the proper xbe in the gamesave folder.

Excellent solution, Krayzie! I haven't done any softmods for about 6 months now, so I was excited when I came across this thread. Very simple and easy to understand and install, and much more straightforward than ltools.
I ran into a little problem at the end of the install process, and got error 112 or 12 (don't really recall) when it was trying to copy the msdash to the virtual c drive (so C was completely empty). I think this was due to the fact that I had originally installed ltools, and apparently didn't clear off everything I needed to. But I just copied the stock dash from slayers and everything is running extremely smoothly.
Thanks again!! Absolutely awesome!

I noticed, that if I set it to dual-retail, when I press the eject button to take out a game, it returns to the m$ dash. Is there a way to fix this?

@ShadowOryan if you want the dashboard on C you could replace the multilaunch file with to one with your own bootpaths
@ZeRoJRG did you actually read what was displayed in the xbins channel?

Where is this file multilaunch file located?

Is there any tutorials on how to make your own bootpath? I probally will figure it out, but extra help is always good.

Krayzie, just wanted to say thanks for this easy to use awesome installer. Honestly I can admit (aside from news quips) that I haven't read up on or researched softmods since the Audio and Font exploits first came out. I only install Xecuter/Xenium, cheapmods or local tsops.
I had an issue with one and decided softmodding would be the practical choice. I am udderly AMAZED how far it has come since I last "checked"
Just wanted to thank everyone involved in the making of this, saved me a bunch of stress and for anyone experienced in the workings of an xbox, it is very easy to understand right off the bat.
Thanks Rmenhal, Angerwound, Pedrospad, Devz3ro, ldots, dr oldschool, xman954, DaddyJ,

I was wondering if its possible to custom the installer just to change the configuration options at start up so that network access is straight off the bat with static ip,and if i can also add my own evox.ini too that will be installed with all the settings i need,rather than having to ftp in again?.
This would really speed things up for a fresh install.

anyone know if Ndure with Krayzie's installer is pretty much idiot proof for use with xbox live? meaning its always either protected from connecting to XBL or unmodded? (I know it's not when booting from gamesave) I just ask because somehow, through a series of usual events, my friend got his Xbox to be in XBMC with a green light. It's the default install with no duel boot options - green when booting from origonal, orange when modded (except said time). I wonder if while under that strange condition (homebrew running with a green LED) he tried xbox live it would ban? It's strange because I thought nkpatcher enabled unsigned code, changed LED, and enable xbox live protection all at the same time.. but here he was running unsigned code with an unchanged LED. Was xbox live protection enabled? I should have tested the eject fix in that state

Hey Krayzie
is there any way to which version of NKPatcher (0.6 or 0.67) you are using after the fact?
i think i must be doing something wrong here....i've NEVER gotten an option to format a G drive when using 0.67, even with a drive bigger than 250, so i always end up using 0.6.
just had to put in a 320GB drive in a box and i don't think it's using the full space for some reason.
When in the SYstem Harddisk Settings, it shows Drive F as 297,539.33 MB as full capacity of what's supposed to be a 320 GB (320000 MB) Drive. I know its actually closer to a 312 GB drive, but does it really take 15gB to format?
also, if i'm not mistaken, wasnt the patch to 0.67 supposed to help keep large drives happy?
Anyway, to sum up:
1. Can i switch which NKPatch i'm using after a drive is already modded?
2. Is "Yes" above, how do i do it?
3. If "No" to question 1, should I go back to stock and redo a box with a 320GB drive in it? Its using NKPatch 0.6 at the moment, with one big F drive.
4. How much space should be shown as max capcity when using a 320GB drive after formatting?
thanx all

I've successfully used your mod on a few xboxs and it works beautifully!
My friend just passed me his box and I've run into a snag with loading the SC exploit.
Deleted his old SC savegame and copied the NTSC SC savgames (Linux profile and linux save) to his HD using my MegaXKey...
Once I load my good old copy of Splinter Cell into his box... I simply goto Start->Linux->Checkpoint, but at this point the screen just freezes at checkpoint and the BGM just keeps going and going...... I've used the same method on other Xboxs and they've all gotten past this point without error...
Checked the dashboard and its 1.00.5960.01
Any clues?

Found another problem
After installing the softmod... I can't get 480p or 720p to work from the UnleashX dashboard, they enable in the menu but do not apply, even after a restart... However, if I load the SC gamesave, the mod menu's UnleashX jumps into 720p mode without a hitch...
I've run into this once before on my own system, after uninstalling the mod, then setting the M$ dashboard to use both 480p and 720p, and then installing the mod a second time I was able to get 480p and 720p mode working from the UnleashX dash... I wonder why it let me load the SC exploit only after the second time with 480p and 720p enabled...

Hi there,
I installed NDURE with no error message on my italian XBOX but when I rebooted I got no dash. Since I was still able to rerun the MA installed savegame (which now shows a new NDURE menu as if it was installed properly), I ftp in the xbox, cancel C and E data to put the box in original retail mode, reupload the NDURE installation savegame via ftp in UDATA and rerun it but I got the same result -> no dash after reboot.
If I try to run enable softmod from NDURE savegame (booting from MA) I get the following error message:
Bad Process Failed.
The last item was:.
Action: Rename
I saw that in past someone notified a similar error in this thread but I didn't find any debugging nor explanation of possible solutions...
Now, my questions:
A - Could it be that I need a specific PAL NDURE savegame in order to install it properly on my XBOX? (PAL or NTSC output is not an issue for my TV as it accept both but could it be an issue for my xbox?)
B - Any idea of what could be causing this issue?
C - 1 side comment, once NDURE is properly installed I'd like to enable 480p and 720P in order have a better definition on my HDTV.... sometime ago I read that this is only possible using and NTSC ndure savegame, is that still the case?
thanks,
blackdir
Below the exact steps I followed for the NDURE installation
- I had an original italian retail XBOX with kernel release 5101 and Dashboard release 5659
- I run halo 2, launched the live tab (with RJ45 unplugged) and got a new dash (5960)
- I then copied the NDURE installation savegame (first via an action reply memory unit, then via ftp erase it and upload same one -to avoid action reply savegame corruption) on the xbox HD
- I run NDURE, used the backup options (eproom and disk)
- I ftp on the xbox and get a copy of both C and E on my PC just to stay on the safe side
- I installed the NDURE softmod choosing .06 as suggested.
- At the end of the installation process I got a message saying that the only missing part was shadow C that it would have been activated automatically at reboot
- As NDURE asked to reboot I did (I powered off the xbox, eject MA, powered off powered on)
- My xbox had no dash.
A: If the installer menu shows up the save is fine. You can try eiter setting your dashboard language to english first or use the tweak fonts option (readme)
B: If it hangs at the logo screen it's probably a memory layout issue (look at A to fix)
C: I don't own a HDTV compatible screen so I don't really have an idea how to get 480/720p enabled. I thought it was a setting in the ntsc msdash so you could try changin the region to 1 using configmagic to enable that but beware this is a risky job so only do it if you are confident enought to know what you are doin. Or maybe someone else who knows this stuff can shed some light...

I figured out that if you load the MSDash from the modded state by using the file explorer and going to the C:\MSDash.xbe. You can enable 480p, 720p, and 1080i modes from the modded MS dashboard and it should allow you to use the HD modes on your games and apps while in mod mode...
I checked applying these settings in mod and retail mode... The MSDashboard settings seem to be separated from the mod MSDash and retail MSDash.... So I guess any settings you change while in retail mode you will have to manually load the MSDash while in mod mode and apply them aswell.

the video settings are stored in the eeprom. In modded mode this is read from an image file (virtual eeprom). so settings made in retail mode do not affect changes in modded mode and vice versa.

For A and B: thank you very much! It was a font issue: from the savegame I selected my kernel and when I rebooted I was asked to enable the shadow. Now my system works fine: I configured it in retail mode (power -> unlashx, eject -> ms dash)
Regarding C, I need some additional info.... In unlashx settings 480p and 720p are currently disabled... I saw that in extra there is the VGA settings, do they apply even if I use a component cable ?
blackdir
There is a force progressive function which you could use but I think it might not working properly due to misconfiguration. The force progressive function should work in the next revision of my installer and yes you could use that with component input.
You should be able to use the unleash x settings fine though.

So, I'm not sure I understood right... let me recap:
1- I understand right: I better wait for your next installer release for progressive scan, right?
2- Regarding unlashx, right now the 480p and 720p settings are disabled: I can only change the screen size (I set it to widescreen). You are telling me that it is possible to enable those settings? If so, can you give me some tips on how to do it?
As I've said earlier I don't own a hd screen so I've never used or enabled those functions so I can't help you with that either.
If you have a ntsc xbox you could go into msdash and enable 480p and 720p there (taken that you have a hd av cable connected). You could try the vga options in the installer too but I don't know if they work correctly for progressive scan only.
I will get my lcd HDtv screen soon too (Europe is way behind unfortunately) so I can finally see what all this is about.

force 480p doesnt work unless you have HD cables attached to it.. then Nkpatcher will force 480p for 480i games.. however most games released recently has 420p enabled by default. Just convert your xbox to NTSC then 480p/720p/1080i option will show up in xboxdash.

Hey again
I'm having issues with the Dolby Digital settings. I can enable it in modded mod, but when i turn the system off, the settings go away as well.
i figure this is due to the options setup in my eeprom prior to modification...it copied my eeprom as it was (aka before my 5.1 system) and used that as the virtual Eeprom.
if this is the case, i'm guessing my ONLY recourse is to
A) Completely remod the system
Rename the Backup directory, disable mod, run dash and change settings, use splinter cell to access the red menu, run Slayers somehow from there to re-backup the Eeprom, and then copy the new eeprom over the old one, re-enable the mod, and call it good.
will B even work? If i do A, can i still get analog sound out of the RCAs?
I ask because my box is moible...i take it with me different places and use it on different setups.
Lastly, how can i use my BNC/VGA monitor with my system for progressive scan modes?
thanx all

the selection in modded mode should stay over reboots just fine since they are set in the virtual eeprom. for them not sticking indicates that the eeprom image isn't there anymore or is renamed or something.
You could try a uninstall and reinstall to ensure the eeprom is in the correct place. also delete the exploited save and copy a new one before reinstalling. this ensures a new backup of the eeprom during the installation.
B: isn't gonna work since the virtual eeprom is on the actual C and not in the backup folder. you could try checking if it's still there and optionally replace it with a fresh copy from evox or configmagic.
If I'm not mistaken you need a vga monitor with component inputs or a x2tvga connector to connect the xbox to a vga monitor. you can set vga patches from within the installer.

Hey Krayzie. I have a question about eeprom backup on a 1.6. Is there any issue using the eeprom backup feature of your installer with a version 1.6? I run the eeprom backup feature and FTP it into my eeprom folder of xboxhdm to build a larger drive. When I use option 3 to lock the hd, the hdd key is not what it should be. The key listed is not the same as the key that shows in UnleashX. Is there a reason for this? If I use Slayers backup feature, that seems to give me the correct eeprom. Any ideas.

I have no idea. the eeprom is taken from a normal evox backup just like slayers. are you sure you cannot use it to lock the hd even though it might apear different? remember there are differences between the unique hd key the generated password.

I did not try it with the "incorrect" eeprom from the installer, because the key that was shown did not match what was in UnleashX. I ran into this problem a couple of times in the past. So, I used Slayers instead and the eeprom had the key that now matched. I think that this might be a problem isolated to v1.6's. I am curious if anyone else has had this problem.

I've backed up many 1.6 eeproms using evox. all the hd's locked fine. You will have to make sure though that when taking the option you use a NEW gamesave otherwise it would still contain the eeprom of the previous backup.

HEy Krazie!! Great Package that you put together!! I am so so happy that I cam across your thread before I softmodded my xbox using the double dashboard exploit(I think that is what you call it). That's the one where you would have an audio hack and font hack at the same time, just to clarify. I was fumbling around the forums and I found your thread...made me soo happy. So, in five minutes I modded my 1.4 xbox with your ndure package!!! Big upps to you doode!! I have a couple of question though if you do not mind. I have gone through this whole thread(almost all 35 pgs of it) and I still have some questions. You can mod a 1.5 or higher xbox version(i.e. 1.6-1.6b) right? Also, how is this exploit immune to things like clock loop or things of that nature if you do not mind. I really do not mind if you just hyperlink me to the source in case you do not want to type all that info. I do not mind to bug. I just want to understand what I am playing with. THanks Krazie. You make life easier!!

yes it will work on any xbox version (currently).
Short basic history: previous we only had a bootstrap (the file that gets loaded first and is exploited) that loaded onto kernels 5530 and lower (UDE). Later we found a bootstrap that would also work on NTSC 5713 and 5838 (1.6) xboxes but it wouldnt run on PAL xboxes so pal users had to convert their xboxes to US xboxes first to run it (UDE2).
A few months later some smart dudes found out how to get an exploitable dash via live that would run on all kernels and all regions so UXE was discovered.
Then Rmenhal (the guy who made the fonts/nkpatcher/pblmetoo) found out that in that same set of dashboard files where UXE came from there was also an xonlinedash.xbe which loaded the fonts from a different location then the UXE's update.xbe. Later this was picked up by Ndure Protagonist (aka Eh) and he delivered us Ndure. The benefits of Ndure is that since it loads its fonts from a different location that other things that use the regular fonts keep working. This includes live updates and msdash and some games that need the fonts.
The clock loop problem was solved with the intruduction of UDE. Before that people exploited a normal xboxdash.xbe. What happened was that sometimes people left their xbox unplugged for too long so the xbox lost it's time. When an xbox looses time it wants to go straight to the clock setting screen rather then loading it's normal bootcycle. this created a crash since it couldn't load it's normal fonts and most of the time it refused to load the hacked fonts resulting in a sometimes endless rebooting sequence.
UDE uses not a xboxdash.xbe but an update.xbe. Since this is not a regular bootstrap for an xbox, when the clock is dead and the xbox wants to load it it cannot handle the kernel's dead clock call (since it wasn't designed for that) and keeps booting the xbe and the hacked fonts like normal. this completely eliminated the clock loop problem.

Is it possible to configure an NDURE dual retail xbox (no modchip only softmod) to booot unsigned CDs (for example xebian installation CD)?

Isn't that the whole point to a softmod, to boot unsigned code? So, I guess your answer is yes, unless I am missing something

So I modded my second box with Krayzie's Ndure installer. The first box I used the older UXE installer.
I've never been on Live, so I wanted to sign up with my Ndure modded box. I enabled the dual-retail multiboot option, booted with the eject button, then went to "XBOX LIVE" then "NEW ACCOUNT".
The screen just went blank and nothing happened. Did I just get my new xbox banned? Or did the softmod block access to xbox live?
I assume I have to turn the softmod off, then sign up for Live, then switch the softmod on. Will this work or am I banned?

You are right and I'm actually able to run some unsigned code (as DVD2X), my point is that strangely I'm not able to run Dynebolic (linux live CD) as when I browser the CD files (with XBMC) and launch the default.xbe file on the Dynabolic CD, the screen turns black and the system freeze.
Any idea of what could be the issue? Any suggestion on how to solve this?

eh. discovered XBL's secret nine days after mining the UDE2 xbe (during a UDE2 related "errand" for Pedro) and exploited the UXE xbe in July 2004 using the bert_ate_ernie512_24.xtf (that Pedro produced, tee-hee)!
It was kept "undercover" by eh. for the perceived, potentially greater long-term benefit of the community (as was posted) and no one else knew about it until someone else discovered it ... Pedro!

Those .xbe's wouldn't have been as useful as they've become though, were it not for rmenhal's miraculous contributions along with the great works of ldots, xman954, krayzie, kingroach and others.
Regarding which, I think your Ndure installer is amazing krayzie because (I must admit) I didn't think it possible to package the original 'retail' setup in such a user-friendly and safe manner via a gamesave. Also, rarely credited, it includes various other awesome features too!
{: I'm very much looking forward to your next release, as it will likely be "the ultimate gamesave exploit". If you'd like another tester that has a thorough understanding of Ndure et al, I volunteer... :}

I know it's been said many times over in here, but I'll say it again. Krayzie's Ndure Installer is freaking awesome! Excellent work. I just re-modded my son's XBox from UDE2 to the Ndure. It was easy as hell to install, all of the guesswork has been taken out of softmodding, as the on-screen instructions and help windows couldn't have made it any easier. I am also loving the fact that I now have access to the M$ Dashboard as well.
*Krayzie, great work. From all of us thus far and in the future that have used any of your installers, Thank You.

Even my 10 year old brother understood what was going on during the install process (and he's not even smart).

if you delete the EEPROM file (using the gamesave)
NKPatcher will still shadow the EEPROM to protect from writes
but it will load the real EEPROM data at boot to use.
so if you make changes in the MS dash with tray-open_retail boot it will write to the EEPROM
and all changes will remain....

first time using a softmod was with this Krayzie installer and it was so painless! GREAT JOB! but i have a few questions about softmodding in general.
I was softmodding a 1.0 and after reading various tutorials here at xbox-scene i found out that you must solder points on the mobo. bridged 2 points near the LPC and then connected 2 points on the back of the mobo. What exactly does soldering these points do? Will the softmod function correctly without soldering? Is it completely necessary? And i know that the tutorials here on the home page are usually very old information so I'm asking if the new Softmods do not require any soldering at all?
I ask because another friend of mine has a 1.6 and wants his softmodded as well. can i just skip the soldering process altogehter? thanks.
Softmods NEVER require any soldering. It's not even needed to open the case.
The soldering is for flashing the onboard bios chip (TSOP) and have not much to do with softmods (the only relation is the use of an exploit to get a flashing app going). For more info about tsop flashing go to the tsop forums.

i've given more thought to the flickering when the mod starts. from what i understand, everyone encounters a slight flicker when the dash loads. is this true? i know it might be because of the multilaunch. however could it be because the dashboards are switching video modes? does this softmod somehow creates a PAL state in mod mode? sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

no it doesn't switch video modes by itself. The dash itself might set some video values when loading though. I again must say that when loading the dash from nkp directly the dash gets loaded much more nicely.

thanks again. i'll change the nkpatcher then. which version of nkpatcher is with the installers now? just so i don't mess up any settings, what was your config file? i want to keep my changes minimal. i LOVE everything, I just obviously want to load the dash more smoothly.

thanks krayzie, but i finally figured out what was causing the large amount of flicker. don't know why i thought about it, but once I switched from the HD AV pack to the standard AV cable, the large amount of flicker disappeared. It had nothing to do with nkpatcher and multilaunch ( i figured that out cuz i removed multilaunch by replacing the xbe). who knew? (you probably did and i missed reading about it somewhere ) thanks so much. i'll try to get rid of it by messing with the vga settings.

Hi,
I modded my xbox about a year ago (with Softmod Installer Deluxe 2) and it works perfectly. Afterwards I've modded a bunch of my friends' xboxes with SID 3, and they all have problems running some games. I did that all before I read some more about it and realized that SID actually is a bunch of crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I've been reading a bit about the this installer and the ndure method it uses, and actually I can't wait to convert my and the other xboxes to this new system. So I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:
- I know the posts say that I have to revert my xbox hd to stock, but isn't that a bit drastic? I mean, do I really have to move all my apps and dashboards from my E drive? I already have backups of my original C and E drives (and my eeprom off course). I mean, I just want to use the new ndure method, I would want to keep my current dashboard, apps and stuff. Maybe there's a better way than using your installer?
- A lot of games aren't working on my friends' xboxes, Burnout Revenge for example. It hangs with a dirty disk error, while I cleared all the cache and formatted the X,Y and Z drives (if that's even necessary). The same files work perfectly on my xbox. Any chance those problems will be fixed when they update to ndure?
- I read something about you busy creating a new installer. Will that be finished in the short term? Or will it be at least some months before the release. Cause if it's there soon, I'm going to wait for it before I do all the upgrading stuff. And is there any chance you could post what the major changes are going to be? Actually I want to ask the same for ndure in general. Is there an official thread or something about the development of ndure? Cause I'm very interested in that.
- I'm particulary interested in the iso mounting feature of ndure, and I can't find many info about it. If I get it right, there's an xbe you have to run that disables the dvd drive and virtually creates it again with the iso mounted. I have the feeling that dashboards could make this process much easier. Would adding a feature to, say UnleashX, where you could just select an iso file and choose "run game" be hard to make (for the UnleashX developers that is)? Cause if it isn't, we have to ask the dashboard developers for it right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Sorry for the long list of questions, but thanks already!
Greetz,
JeDi
P.S. I can't really congratulate Krayzie for the great installer yet, as I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I have a feeling that I will be doing that very soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

you can leave your apps and games alone. they will not be touched. With reverting to stock it's especially aimed at softmod/exploit files. The dash however will be replaced but if you back that up you can replace after the install.
there is a chance the games will run cuz of other settings but that isn't guaranteed. Sid uses pbl/m8 which is not so different from nkpatcher.
The new installer should be out early 2006. it will have the new nkpatcher, some different install functions and some custmomize functions. Ndure itself is just an exploit. It needs no further development as it works how it's suposed to allready. Only whole softmod setups can be developed to more advanced forms.
The mount iso tool nkpatcher offers is at kernel level. I don't think dashboards can provide such chances since they have no real part in patching the kernel like nkpatcher does. (I guess they technically could but it is very unlikely to happen). I personally haven't used the iso feature cuz it doesn't provide that much uses to me. If I want to ad a game to my hd I just extract the iso while transfering (mad fast using qwix and ava) and xbmc plays iso packed movies great too. Also larger files need to be prepared a certain due to the fatx size limits. Just too much hassle but I'm sure some people find it usefull.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick answers!
I'm sorry, I kinda mixed up ndure and nkpatcher. I meant I'm very interested in the iso mounting feature, and new features in general of NkPatcher. Is there an official thread for it somewhere? I just can't find it...
The nice thing about the iso mounting feature is that it could create a wide range of opportunities. First of all, many xbox games use ten thousands of files, which could make using the iso file a lot more efficient (the whole block size thing).
Second, the iso mounting provides some sort of abstraction between the xbox filesystem (where the game is working with) and the iso files. I could see this growing to not only be able to mount iso files from disk, but from other locations too. Off course that would be too big to fit in a kernel, but could'nt there be some kind of mechanism where the file access could be programmed in user space (just thinking aloud here, I'm not that familiar with kernel programming)? If that would be possible, dashboards could implement file access through an ftp server, or even an SMB share! Imagine having a big server with all xbox games available, and being able to start them right from there! Off course that would be a bit slow, but only at loading times (there isn't that much disk access during gameplay, right?).
Anyway, I'm just going to try your current installer this night (on my pbl based old softmodded xbox), and see what happens. As the "new" SID 3 was already based on nkpatcher (so it sais), I'm afraid this won't help my friends very much, but at least I'll make their boxes more idiot proof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Groetjes,
JeDi

not to take anything away from Krayzie's installers (the best gamesave installer to date)
but once you get past the noob stage i think it is a lot easer to use a image of C and E to mod xbox's
just boot up any gamesave and FTP them in and your done (and they can be tweaked before hand to your liking) a good start would be Kingroach's NDURE installer for PC
EDIT: it would be nice if everyone could agree on a standard to name files and dir
C:\NKPatcher\default.xbe ver C:\Bios\bios.xbe
E:\dashboard\default.xbe ver E:\dash\default.xbe

Great!
Thanks for the info guys! I'll definitely have a look into Kingroache's installer. The reason I want to test Krayzie's installer is that I'm kinda fed up with modding so many noob xboxes. I would just want to give them the game and memory card with the installer and let them do it themselves. I noticed by practice that wasn't a good idea with SID (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)
BTW, thanks for the tip about Qwix! I was using c-xbox tool for now, but it's kinda buggy and it lacks certain handy features (like keeping track of different xbox connections). I hope it works with unleashx's boost mode too, but I guess that's just the same as avalaunche's...

I've recently modded a couple friend's xboxs using Krazie's installer. My friend's have accounts on Live and now they can't seem to connect anymore.... I thought this mod worked with XBLive? If we start the box into retail mode it shows the live screen and that there are a number of friends online. Try to access any menues and we get the circle thing at the bottom of the screen and then everything goes black. Try to play a game on live and it just says could not connect to xbox Live at this time....
Any clues?

when mod is active you canno connect to live.
with dual retail mode you cannot enter live menu or network settings. if settings need to be changed read the readme

@ A Murder of Crows
Is the drive that you are saving your eeprom info to the virtual drive? If it is then you first need to run a bfm bios in order to save it on the real drive and not the virtual one. I haven't used this installer but for manual installs when compiling yourself into a completely hidden c this can be the case.
@ krayzie
Why has your sig changed to no longer include the completely hidden c and the other things?

people dohn't read it anyways. The market now seems only interested in the easy way. the time people wanted to do things manually is way gone. You can find the info on the tutorials topic though.

Just a note to say I tried this for the first time a few days ago and it worked phenomenally well! The hardest part was figuring out how to copy the saves from my chipped xbox to the memory card. (Didn't realize you had to d-pad over to the actual save, kept trying to select the "container".)
I'm super impressed at the work that went into this. The whole step-by-step GUI install procedure is amazingly simple and well-done. Kudos!
If that would be possible, dashboards could implement file access through an ftp server, or even an SMB share! Imagine having a big server with all xbox games available, and being able to start them right from there! Off course that would be a bit slow, but only at loading times (there isn't that much disk access during gameplay, right?).
most games i'm aware of access the disk pretty much constantly. but the real problem with your idea is that once the game xbe was loaded into memory, the whole smb thing would instantly stop working, because the smb client would have to be part of the dashboard code, and the xbox cannot run two processes simultaneously. basically it's impossible.

you have to make a backup as the first option in the menu, so if anything did go wrong changing the dash youd still be able to get back to the exploit through your retail game to restore it
i think thats rght, im still a newb too

hi, thanks for making this package, very useful, was able to soft mod a new xbox with it, but having one problem, for some reason the f drive does not have any space allocated to it, i am sure there are a couple of GBs somewhere not allocated.... any idea? F drive is enabled on the dashboard, and yes i chose the option to enable f drive.... is there a command or program i could use that could allocate the left over GBs to the f drive without deleting anything of the other drives? thanks

if its a stock drive, there will be no left over space, unless its a seagate, then you'll have 2gbs on F use the format menu in unleashX to gain it, if using evox, you'll need to add the command to the ini file most likely.

Is there a tutorial or instructions someplace about removing this software?
I used this exploit and have UnleashedX running. I have a backup of the eeprom stored on another computer. I haven't made a recovery CD though.
What do I do to remove the mod and return the XBox to the stock condition.
(this question should probably go in N00b eh?

Well without going into detail some things would be like various install options like upgrade from 1.0 (no need to uninstall first), a minimum install (for those that don't know how to prepare the setup prior to the install and don't want the msdash features), some fuckms options to toggle between dual msdash and dual live dash and some customisation options. (and offcourse nkpatcher and vga patches updated)
I'm not going to say when it's done but I'm hoping to release it early next year

Krayzie just wanted to say wonderful job on Ndure ....def the best yet. My only question is about the LED defaulting to orange in the soft-modded state. The color bothers me and I am able to change it in the UnleashX settings but it is not permanent, as soon as I turn the box off and reboot it goes right back to orange. Is there any other way to get rid of the orange LED. I dont use LIVE at all if thats a conselation. But again love Ndure just bothered by the Orange LED.

You can use a dash that sets the led to yout likings as main dash (such as unleash X or xbmc). The next version has options to set the led to any of the colors your like.

I just used your installer and my new Xbox and i'm tipping my hat in your direction Krayzie
As soon as I loaded the save game it was apparent that a lot of time went into creating this installer and it's a credit to your good self and the others involved in it's creation. I've installed many hardware mods but I had to try a softmod on the new system and they can't get any easier to use than this!!
Thanks again

When I ran the Ndure installer, my Xbox was using a normal 4:3 TV. I now have it hooked up to a 16:9 projector but I can't get Xbox games (backup nor original) to run in 16:9 mode. I am using the HD video cable (component video out of xbox into projector component input). I ran the MS Dash app and set the video mode to widescreen, and the dash shows up in 16:9, but games switch back out of wide mode and into 4:3. I wonder if this has something to do with the "shadow c" or "virtual eeprom" features of Ndure. Is there a way to override this and get true 16:9 support in games?

i get widescreen just fine in the msdash and in xbmc, but it switches out when i run a game (and yes i double checked that these games support 16:9).
is there a way to see what's in the "virtual" eeprom vs the real one? or copy one to the other?
if i use your installer to switch back to a "retail" state will i have just one eeprom? i can't think why else it wouldn't go widescreen in games unless the dash is not writing to the same eeprom that the games are reading from.

Hey, I recently insalled a 320 gb HD into my Xbox and used Krayzie's UXE exploit for MA.
I used XBOXHDM 1.9 to lock it and everything.
I went into my system settings from the dashboard and the free space on the F drive read 129 gb, C: 341 megabytes, E: 3 gigabytes.
I did the second option when installing, .67 or whatever.
How can I get my 320 gigabytes?

i have the splinter cell exploit. and i've used it twice before. now i try to install it on my friend's xbox and it doesn't work. it goes to a black screen after i press "checkpoints" on the splinter cell menu. he has the 5960 dashboard. his kernel is something liek 5838 (or something similar). maybe that has something to do with it?

Make sure he has no other gamesaves for Splinter Cell.
Only the LINUX save should be there.

How can I fix my problem?
I installed a 320gb HD.
I'm using the evoX dashboard and when I go into settings free space for F is 126.612.127.744 [I just uploaded about 2-3gbs worth of stuff in there.] I get the same amount of free space when I FTP into my Xbox.
G Drive shows 0. I enabled it from System Settings.
When I load through the Gamesave exploit, which is used to install the mod, free space on the F drive shows as 240.339.63 MB
I enabled the G drive, restarted and formated the G drive, but I get 0. It doesn't even show up on the screen.

When I try to boot with my disk tray open, a black screen appears, so I'm assuming I don't have an original dash on my box. What path is the original dash supposed to be under. I tried restoring the ms dash from the installer save, but there was a batch error. If I replace the original .xbe file, would that solve my problem or do I have to put more original files (fonts folder)?? on my xbox? Thank you.

I am having a problem with my harddrive size in evox. On the Ndure install menu, the F drive shows 144 gigs but when I actually boot to evox, it only gives me 123gb. I tried to enable G and format using FTP but that didn't work. What other options do I have to make the 160gb drive work (used the .67 method to install)? Could it be a bios problem? I have a modchip on this xbox so I can login to the drive without using this hack. (modchip works about 1/2 the time).
Thank you!!!!

........I believe this has been stated so many times.
If you want to play modded games with your friends, do it via Tunnelers......Xbox Connect or Xlink Kai.
Most recent Softmods will block xbox live to avoid you getting banned, why?
- running a modded xbox into xbox live = instaban, never play on live again.
- even if you run retail, and use fuckMS to load a modded backup, and you are detected.= ban!
- i don't know what else to say, but MODDED XBOX+XBOX LIVE=BAN, NO MORE XBOX LIVE, AND MB SOME CREDIT CARD BLACK LISTING.

I was trying to answer your installer menu question. I was hoping to save files on 250GB w/Ndure F:, if they are there.(I cloned the 160GB drive 1st using xboxhdm onto the 250GB, when I could not see the files I tried again using chimps tool)
did you format F and G? (not using the installer but use like evox ftp)----no,if I can save\get the files on the 250GB drive I,ll probably install your 2.8 on this 160GB and go option 06
when installer menu partition tables might mess up. Not recommended to acces f or g in the installer menu unless you picked a 06 bios----from ftp?okay
again format F and G?----is there anyway I can save\retrieve F:'s contents (besides ftp) why does the drive reads as almost full but I can't see content

I am still unsure of what your problem is and what you want to acomplish. As for the used space...I can think of noting other then xboxhdm or other hd tools corrupted some of the space...That's why I told to reformat

All right i will admit that i am a total noob to softmodding. I had a modchip back in the day and so i am a little familiar with xbox modding. I am having problems with the installer.
Problem:
Backed up eeprom, and installed the softmod and everything installed fine. When it comes to the end and says something to the sort of "Need to configure shadow C drive, press ok to restart you will be automatically prompted", so i press ok take out the game and when the dashboard tries to load i get an xbox message saying that my xbox needs service. There is no error code on the message, just the message. So i boot back to MA and remove the softmod and recover and it recovers fine.
What i have tried:
I have tried installing both Evox and UnleashX, as well as both nkpatchers in all possible combinations. I got Slayers 2.6 disc, and FTP'd the backup C drive on it to start with a clean slate. Still didn't work. So i tried re-FTPing the installer back onto the xbox still no luck. i even redowloaded the installer and tried again. I am not using AR, i had to unzip all of the files. i used the old mechinstaller to boot emergency linux and ftp the installer to the xbox.
Xbox:
D = 5960
K = 3944
Using mechassualt gamesave
I hate posting, but i have exhausted all possible resources
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

@ trainerbill: When the installer finishes. Do you power off first or do you hit eject straight away to remove the game?
@ chaos-consultants: you just copy the linux saves over via the msdashboard and launch them via the game.

did you try to patch the fonts according to your specific kernel? (that is how I solved the same issue)
Once the installation is complete, you just boot with MA, load the save game (which is unleashx) and apply the font patch according to the kernel you are using. reboot your xbox and that's it!
blackdir
good call. normally a hangup should occur after a incompatible font but an error screen might also be possible.

Final question: shall I run the enigmah video mode selector from the retail MS dash, from unleashX or it is the same?
It won't run from the retail dash, install it in your E:\, F:\ or G:\ APPS directory and it will be selectable from UnleashX. Once the switch is made it will survive a reboot as Enigmah writes to you eeprom, so there shouldn't be a need to switch to NTSC everytime you boot up or restart.

I have tried it both ways. I tried the font patch too still no luck. Can you Ftp The C drive from slayers disc to the xbox. I don't ever get an over write prompt using flash fxp when i transfer over the C drive. With the E drive it asks if i want to overwrite. Just a thought.

So there isn't any hidden files or anything I need to worry about??
I can just copy the 448mb c &e "shadow/image" of my friends softmodded xbox onto mine
( i will of course back mine up first.) I don't need to run live cause I have a second xbox for that.
Thanks for your help

@trainerbill: yes you can replace your C with slayers C. Mkae sure you delete everything first before transfering the new C
@chaos-consultants: You can FTP the saves over manuallt. The saves are in E:\udata. C needs to remain stock before running the saves

All right after further testing my box is still unmodded. I have completely deleted the C drive and then ftped slayers C drive to my box. I completely deleted the Udata and retransfered the installer. I completely deleted everything else out of E: drive including apps,games,emus. I cleared the Z drive and deleted the Cache folder from the E drive. after the install i get the same thing. After i press ok where it says you will be taken to the screen automatically to setup shadow C, the box shuts off. I restart the box and get an error message saying my box needs service. The same error happens when you boot the xbox without xboxdash.xbe in the C drive. I have absolutely no clue. Has anyone had this problem? Or does anyone know what might help, at this point im up for anything. Also there is an H drive on the box that has nothing in it, CDEXYZ are all still there, don't know if this would mess anything up. Is it possible that the shadow.img is corrupt?
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated!!!
D=5960
K = 3994
Ok i just removed everything and reinstalled again, didn't work go figure, but i ftped back to the box to take a look at the c drive. there was no xboxdash.xbe, which is probably right, but i transfered one in there for testing purposes and it booted up to the ms dash fine, but with no shadow C update. the C drive looks as follows:
Audio
bak
fonts
multiboot
nkpatcher
rescuedash
xboxdashdata.185ead00
xodash
eeprom.bin
msxboxdash.xbe
Maybe that will help
it's indeed missing xboxdash.xbe.
where did you obtain the package?
I suggest getting a new one from xbins and use that

I got the installer from xbins. the path to xboxdash.xbe is:
Udata/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/files/xboxdash.xbe
Is that right? I wonder if i am extracting the files to the right directory.
I redownloaded the package from xbins and extracted them, all files are the same and in the same directories.I will try it on the xbox when i get home.
The following is the installer after winrar extraction:
UDATA\4d530017
3 .xbx
\UDATA\4d530017\62D648EBF155
files
bios.bin

fonts
media
multiboot
MultiLaunch
nkpatcher
bummy.xbe
shadowc.img
xboxdash.xbe
does this directory structure look accurate? If so what else could be messing this installer up?

I used a plain old memory card to install the save. i was able to pick up 2 for under $10. You can build a USB/XBox cable the way i did, following the instructions on the tutorial....as a bonus, you can enable the use of USB memory cards.
i'd say, save yourself the effort and just use a mem card. But this would be nice info to know

Hi everbody,
I installed this softmod and it work great for dual boot. I also installed it for my friend but he tried to use the xbox live recovery without turning the softmod off first and now he gets a 21 error code with he tried to log on to live. His evo dash still works fine. How can I fix this problem without starting over? It seem like the live recovery miss up his MS dash.

@xxSnakeEyesxx: use the restore msdash option in the installer

Krayzie_SC-PAL_Ndure_Installer_v1.0 makes a folder called emus
how do I change it to make a folder called Emulators and to look at Emulators instead.
I can do it by ftp in to it but i would like to change it in the installer
I have seen it in evox.ini and allso seen it in the Config.xml

edit the xml. do a ctrl-F and search for emus and change it to emulators. there should be 8 occurances.
also extract the files.rar and look in the dashboard folders and edit the emulators path there also. don't forget to rar it back up.

- you need to copy both the saves
- yes you can ftp them fine/ make sure you unzip them first
- yes you need the original game although with chip on you could also use a backup (your c drive needs to have stock dashboard files)
- to install the softmod you need to read the onscreen instructions
- it will work on all xbox verison

I recover the ms dash and when I went to log on to Live it said the xbox is BAN!!!
I ask my friend what he exactly did at his house. He said he tried to do a Live account recovery of another Live account in the mod mode (orange LED).
My question is can you actually log on to Live in the MODDED MODE? I though you can't log on to Live when the mode is on. If so how did he got ban?

Yes I upgaded the HD last week. He was on live for 4 days before he tried to recover his other account.
I also did mind the same time and mind is working great. I wonder want he did to get ban. What can he possibly do to get ban? I know this mod is dummy proof for the most part. Can you please tell me what can get you ban with this mod so I can warn him for next time.
So I need to get a new EEPROM, HD, and a new Live account. Did I miss anything?

The biggest reason i have is that i have found more people i've modded prefer them there, and doing it at the release level saves time. Also, XBMC defaults to that folder, and if i'm not mistaken, UnleashX looks for it automatically as well.
In the end, it would just save me a small bit of cleanup....i still end up having to go back and cap teh first letter in each major directory (Apps instead of apps, Games instead of games, etc).

Kray,
thanks for answering my questions.
i have another one though. you mentioned that I should have the stock dash on my C what is that mean? which file or files are you talking about. because what i did before chip modding my xbox i made a backup of my c & e drive. that would be the orginal. should i just copy it back to my c the c backup i made?
if i do that how am i suppose to access the save files i put in e\udata?
should i remove the wire i solder on power button to access back to original dash, well first i should put back the c backup i made to c. should this work or is there other way of doing it?
thanks again
The C Drive has little to do with those save games.
Take your system back to stock, then FTP into it and put the save games back. You can use Slayer's. FInd it in the usual places. I *HIGHLY* suggest making sure you don't have a shadow C drive running when you do this.
the saves are accessed via the chosen original game. anyone who soft mods their system should own at least 1 or 2 originals of their chosen installer's game. I use Splinter Cell personally.

one final question....
there's been some talk in this thread regarding VGA Progressive scan modes. I know that dr oldschool put out something to enable it (talks about it in this thread http://forums.xbox-s...owtopic=408396) via nkpatcher.
how difficult would it be to integrate this patch to an NDURE method?
thanx much krayzie, great work. i've got a clean drive ready to go the moment you got an SC installer available to beta.

Hey krayzie
Just got home from work and thought a lil bit about it.
Was wondering if it was possible to cap Dashboard, Backups, and AltDash capped.
was also wondering if it was possible to have the dashes set up so that G drive was enabled by default if you chose the 0.67 option (or equivelant), and if it would be possible to add in a Format G drive option in the main mod menu.
thanx much!

what's up with the caps. well ok if it makes you feel better. There will be Format functions for F and G although not in the main menu. G could offcourse also be enabled in the dash but that would just result in a unnecesary 0 MB notification for a lot of users in the dash.

I successfully removed the UXE installer and installed Ndure Installer. Thank you Krayzie for making easy to use, reliable and quick installer like this. I found this much much easier than the modchip solution.
Somehow I have few more question again. Will the PAL SC installer work with any pal games and any PAL Xboxes (UK, AU etc...not sure how many there are).
Will NTSC SC Installer work with any NTSC Games (like Japan NTSC)?
I am not actually sure what Xboxes are available in Thailand (PAL or NTSCJ). If someone can shed light on this that it will be great.

I just wondered if there was a way to make copy a different dash setting file based upon what option was taken.
i haven't really kept up with nkpatcher, but i'm subbed to this thread, and have been since you released it. Using 1.0 as the basis, i wondered if it were possible to have 2 seperate ini files, one marked UnleashX06, the other unleashx067. which ever one got copied would be based upon which one got used.
but in hindsight, not everyone who uses 0.67 would have 200+gb hard drives, so yeah, you're right

This is a complete noob question but we all gotta start somewhere right?
Im using the original 8mb memory card and the splinet cell PAL installer.
Do i have to just extract the UDATA rar file in SC Save 1 + 2 or do i have to go into the folders and extract everything within them aswell.
Like in SC Save 2 theres SC save2>UDATA>21585554>000000000000>files.rar
do i extract the files.rar aswell?
cheers in advance people.

what i would like to see for version 1.1 is:
- option to choose another altdash-folder. the reason?
1. if someone (stupid) deletes the e:\dashboard, the altdash is also deleted, because it`s located in e:\dashboard\altdash. another path whould be more secure!!
2. i would like to start the xbmc with the eject-button using the tri-state boot. but i hate the pack all the media center files to e:\dashboard\altdash\. a nice thing would be to have some more path to choose from, like
e:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Avalaunch\default.xbe
e:\Apps\dvd2xbox\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Linux\default.xbe
is that possible?
Greetings, moviecut
That's a great idea, however (and i could be wrong here) i think that has more to do with the way NDure itself works, and maybe not how krazyie's installer works....
Of course, it's a LITTLE late to be making any more requests out of Krazyie for this....the beta is out and being tested already.
Mods, if wrong, kill this response...the last thing we need is false info being spread around

2. i would like to start the xbmc with the eject-button using the tri-state boot. but i hate the pack all the media center files to e:\dashboard\altdash\. a nice thing would be to have some more path to choose from, like
e:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Avalaunch\default.xbe
e:\Apps\dvd2xbox\default.xbe
e:\Apps\Linux\default.xbe
is that possible?
Greetings, moviecut
Never too late to make requests....beta is still no final.
I think I will set the bootorder for the altdash to:
1: E:\dashboard\altdash\
2: E:\apps\altdash\
3: E:\apps\xbmc\
This could be done very easily and then everybody should be happy as they can put it where they want.
I however skipped the tri-state boots in the 1st beta cuz I never heard anyone about it. If there are people that want them I can still implement them rather easy. (tri-altdash,tri-msdash,tri-livedash)

I guess the only way he got BAN by the new EEPROM not being a virgin like the seller told me. I will ask him to come clean before giving his user ID out.
Can I change the EEPROM with this mod on with config magic? I did it once and when I reboot the xbox just frag. I temp mod chip it and fix it. Thanks

Hopefully youve got FTP access to your xbox.
in e: you want TDATA and UDATA - you could copy all your gamesaves into these if you care about them.
and retail c: you can get from slayers i think - or from backups - its all in the readme
f: would obviously be blank

i like this setup....of course, i'd need the caps for all use OCD ppl....I'd like the tri boots in...i never used it for an install, but if the different options were there, i'd use it in place of dual boot.
nice job krayzie....almost bought a copy of MA to help test, i'm ITCHING for this

Hi, Firstly, I would like to thank you Krayzie for the installer. Secondly, I was wondering exactly how this mod works, I installed it successfully but was wondeirng where the bios and such is, cause I noticed that light goes green from M$ then orange from something, then back to green from unleash. I assume the orange is the bios, was wondering where that is and how to edit it to be green if possible.
Thanks for your time,
Atom

Hey Krayz...
How hard is it to incorporate a custom UnleashX.ini file into the installer? i organize my emulators according to maker, then by release date, and i have it setup so that UnleashX doesn't make up it's own mind to change my orders around.
thanx again

- Question from a happy user of an XBOX softmodded with current NDURE (dual retail) -
just a curiosity: where the shadow C is actually located on xbox drive?
I browsed - as said just for learning - both C and E but I was not able to identify it....
thanks,

Smiffy,
Well the first thing is to figure out what softmod you have. Even if you can ftp into it, replacing the files might not do anything if you are working with a shadow c. Figure out which gamesave you are working with (MA, SC, AUF) and load the gamesave. Who knows, the gamesave might have an uninstall feature.
Once you know you are looking at your real xbox files, delete everything on F, delete everything on E except udata and tdata, and delete everything on c and replace the files with the files from slayers disc (extract the iso from the usual places and you will find the stock files under system\all\c). That will return your xbox essentially to stock.
You could also, like said before, just read the readme from slayers. You can burn the disk, load it up by powering off/on, and then go to menu item 4B2-3 to restore retail hd back to factory.

You can still use the rescue disc. Just put a retail C in the C folder and make an iso and burn and put it in when the drive opens.
slayers will not load unless you sign it habibi
Edit: or just load up to the save menu and gain ftp acces and replace the C with a retail C (which you can extract from slayers iso)

Hi all, Just wanted to thank Krayzie for all the work. I'm a complete n00b at this too but I got tired of asking a mate to mod for me. The Krayzie_Ndure_SC_Pal_1.0 installer I used was easier than I could ever imagine. So, thank you again for looking after us new starters. Really looking forward to trying out v1.1 when its released.
I just have one other question, and forgive me if its been asked before but I just want to make double-y sure. How exactly should I turn on/boot the xbox to use xbox live safely? I am using Original Discs obviously for live games and not backups but I just dont want to get banned. Do I need to go into M$Dash? Or power on with eject button? Thanks in advance people.

Hey Krayzie, first would like to thank you for all your time you've spent on this project of yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) However, I seem to have problems with the final installation of the mod. I'm currently using your 1.0 PAL Splinter Cell version; I'm able to back up the eeprom and install the mod fine. However the problem comes when it says that the only thing left now is activating your shadow C, You will be taken to the activation screen automatically. When I press ok the console turns off, but when I next boot it up I get the message: "Your Xbox requires service. Please call Xbox customer support" and the light on the Xbox flashes Green & Red. I'm then unable to use any of the options like turn off soft mod when booted back to the exploit so I'm just left with uninstall mod. I've tried a few times but still the same problem.
Just wondering if you can help me come over this obstacle, thanks!

The safest way is to coldboot (put your game in the drive, close drive, power off xbox, power on your xbox with power button). This way the exploit is not triggered.

Was it ever softmodded before? you could load the exploit then ftp eeprom to your pc and use xboxhdm and the stock C: files off of slayers to rebuild the drive then lock it back up and then you shouldnt have any problems.

I've been using the krayzie ndure installer for a few months now, with a 100% success rate on a bunch of xboxes. However, I am now trying to install the softmod on a v1 xbox (really old, and runs like crap) but it is not loading the saved game. I am using splinter cell, the game I have used on every xbox, and I am using the same saved game that I used on every xbox. I first deleted the splinter cell saved games off the xbox, then I copied the saved game files from the memory card to the HD. Took out the memory card, rebooted into the game, and I went to new game. It finds the linux profile, and loads it. Then it comes up with the screen to load a checkpoint or a level. Normally something is listed under checkpoints, but nothing is there. When I hit 'A' when checkpoints is highlighted, the xbox just freezes.
I tried this 3 times and it will not work. I recopied the saved games from my computer to the memory card, and still no go. The data is not corrupted because I tried it on another xbox since the broken one and it was successful.
Any ideas why it doesn't load the checkpoint in Splinter Cell (yes, it is the original game that has worked every time before)? The xbox was never modded in any way before.
Thanks for all your hard work, krayzie. Hopefully we can find a solution or the 1.1 version will work for this box.

I have searched and tried a few ways, but none have worked. I even recently tried flashxp, but it did not help any.
I tried:

I was stuck on the :
I followed those steps. but lost my connection to the internet until i changed them back to default.
I then searched on google and found a few other ways to connect, but none seemed to work.
Do you have a router?
Is DHCP enabled on your Xbox's settings?
if you are using UnleashX and the basic skin, you should be able to see the IP address of the xbox on your screen. It will say IP: 192.168.-.--- or something similar.
using flashfxp on your windows pc, type that address into the "Quick Connect" area for Address. user and pass is "xbox" without the quotes. Sometimes it helps to use Passive mode.

I've used the rescue disc before, but i use it more "genericly"
i take the basic (unmodded) C drive files, the dashboard, and the save games and put those on the disc. This way, should anyone need/want to, they can unmod their system, say if the mod goes haywire.
i COULD make the rescue disc remod the system, but i felt that wouldn't be too smart since each person has a different eeprom. i'd have to make a different disc for each mod, where as this way i can just make a single disc for everyone and remod with the same game.
On a side note:
Krayzie: any word about the missing Live features yet? i'm very curious as to how we can get those back, such as voice chat, etc.
Also, with the Extras disc, there isn't a need for NDTS anymore, right?
thanx

If I'll have some spare time i'll fix up some switch on/off script so people can load live in completely unmodded state.
and what is a NDTS?

Well, looking at things, it seems that maybe some of the offcial MS/LiveDash is either disabled or missing, causing the issue....i can't think of a logical reason for it to not work the way things are done.
NDTS was NDure Tool Set, which was how i got that new eeprom flashed to my system. it bypassed the ShadowC.img file, and i believe with the Extras disc it isn't nessescery anymore, but i want confirmation before i start removing it from my install package.

In extras there is a proffesional mode bypassing virtual C and eeprom so no I don't see a need for a ndure toolset.
if someone can explain clearly what is not working and if it's loaded by xboxdash or xonlinedash and if it worked on dual retail of the 1.0 than maybe I can look at it.

2: Why is this posted here? Using Xboxhdm has nothing to do with my installer.

Indeed and as long as I don't understand what is wrong or how these things work I cannot do anything about it. If someone who has the problem can explain it thoroughly and wants to help me on a person to person base to explain and test then maybe we can work something out. Again I have no live on my xbox1 and I am not able to test anything about it.
I'm sure it can be overcome with anything that switches to complete retail state but unfortunately I skipped the switch off option in my suspection of not needing it anymore. A fix is ofcourse simple I just have to look into it a couple of minutes.

It didn't even sound like it was my installers fault and no offence was taken.. My point is just that my installer is named Krayzie Ndure Installer. It isn't named Ndure. Ndure is just and exploit and has nothing to do with shadowC. I am neither responsible for Ndure or UXE, they are just stuff I put in an installer.
Further more I know some stuff but not everything. There is plenty stuff I am not familiar with like for instance xboxhdm. Asking xboxhdm questions in a thread about an Ndure Installer is not the way these forums should be.

However if you really need it.. you can use Ndure installer 3.0 which uses a little modified nkpatcher so that you can use switch between XBL dash and MS dash by placing boo1.bin in E:\ drive without removing and changing mod at all.. Its not a substitute of going to XBL live by pressing xbox live menu within MS dash but thats tyhe closest you can get with current exploits..

yeah well the problem is not that people can't switch between live or msdash. it's just people who cannot get voice chat to work or something (which I suspect is some interaction between xboxdash.xbe and xonlinedash.xbe).
and in theory you could get a full msdash to work but it requires a low kernel. it would go as follows:
ndure>open tray>msdash>live tab>old dd exploit loading fonts of c root>xonlinedash.xbe

So I have updated my dash to 5960, and I would like to setup a dualboot to use xboxlive. Ive read through sojme posts and such, but 912 posts is a bit much.
So, to confirm, before i push the A button, if i want to be able to play xbl on a softmodded 1.0 i use the extras and install dual-Livedash. does tri-Livedash install msdash and live?

you could also try reading the readme and nfo file instead of 912 posts.....
you don't need to install the livedash for only live playing...you could also install dual msdash or just coldboot your retail game. tri is the same as dual inly with an extra possibility of loading a habibi signed disc

neither of those have the coldboot info, and i found the info that explains the msdash method. I'm just used to .nfo files being 'advertisements' for whoever setup the package, and not actually having useful information in them.
Thanks for the help, and thanks for the installer package. Mighty fine work you have there.

I get this all the time when trying to run the extras so I can install the dualboot-msdash.
This is the same dvd that worked fine last night. I have recopied from the dvd, copied over through ftp to the hdd, nothing is helping.

tried that no go. so finally i just kept hitting Launch extras over and over to see what was hanging up on the copying screen....
it was trying to copy e:\extras\files\nkpatcher\dummy.bin to e:\extras\files\xtras\unleashx.xbe thats when the error occurred. So for kicks I renamed unleashx.xbe to unleashx.xbold and rebooted, the Launched extras again and everything worked fine.
i never put that unleashx.xbe in there, so i dunno what the problem was.

@luciano: no you cannot ftp/telnet to a retail xbox
@Scrufdog: that's strange. That dummy file is copied every single time the extras is launched and unleashx.xbe should be there too everytime. so you should get that error again when you relaunch it and so would all the other users. I'm not behind my desktop right now so I can't look at the scripts but maybe I'll check them out later to see what caused the error.

Well it's certainly a bit strange cuz it shouldn't do that and there are not much that can caus such an error. I suspect some corruption problem. Try backing up the E partition, then format it using evox or unleashX and then ftp the backup back. Also delete the extras folder once again and ftp a fresh one back.
If that doesn't work it's easily fixable by editing the xml file

This was using Splinter Cell and an xbox made on the 19/07/2005.
Thanks Krayzie the software is brill.
What are you talking about. I have nothing (and don't want nothing) to do with either SID or AID.

I used the same tut to upgrade my HD. I just FTP'd all the files from C and E. It worked fine except when I first booted after installing the new drive, I could only boot to the stock dashboard. I just re-ran the installer and all was fine -- none of my data was lost, it was all still on the E drive.
Does anyone have an idea why that would've happened? It probably does have to do with the shadow C, right? I hadn't even thought of that until I read that post.

I've succesfully sofmodded my xbox using SC PAL and this installer (absolutely painless, thx for this great job Krayzie).
Now I wanted to upgrade my hard drive and I found this very nice tutorial from someone who softmodded his xbox using SID.
I would like to know if I should backup the C drive while in the UleashX that comes up at boot time or from the one that comes with the extras to avoid the virtual C. Is there any difference at all?.
Thx a lot again for this nice piece of work.
Here is a quick and easy answer.
I believe Kingroach has a link in his sig that gives a VERY good tut on how to setup a hard drive using XBoxhd.
Follow that for the most part.
When it comes to copying the the C drive files, you have 2 ways to go
1. Premodded C
2. Unmodded C
If you go with 1, enter into the Extras folder, use Professional Mode, then FTP into your box and copy the C drive shown there into the C folder in the Linux folder of xboxhd.
Copy all of your E drive into the E Folder as well.
Make ANOTHER copy of your Eeprom.bin file and place that in the Eeprom folder.
Make the ISO and burn it to DVD-R/RW. Boot that disc up in a PC, run option 1, follow the instructions. Reboot, then run option 3 and at the command prompt type "lockhd -a" without the quotes. follow the on screen instructions again. when done, turn off the PC and plug the drive into the xbox to test. Should be premodded and work right away.
Keep in mind that this disc is only good for that 1 particular xbox because of the eeprom lock. You could also make a "Generic" disc like i have....no eeprom in the eeprom folder....and then use an RW disc to burn a specific eeprom to lock each drive to. real time saver as it takes 2 min to burn a disc with just the eeprom (no e drive). You can also use the same disc to unlock the other drive before sending it away.
Don't forget to enter into the extras and update the eeprom, otherwise some settings will not "stick"
if you go with 2, you can copy the C files from your backups or from the C drive directly by just turning it on and FTP'ing. Remember to copy fresh versions of the Game Saves into the drive. This ensures that your save game isn't corrupted
I used the same tut to upgrade my HD. I just FTP'd all the files from C and E. It worked fine except when I first booted after installing the new drive, I could only boot to the stock dashboard. I just re-ran the installer and all was fine -- none of my data was lost, it was all still on the E drive.
Does anyone have an idea why that would've happened? It probably does have to do with the shadow C, right? I hadn't even thought of that until I read that post.
Yes.
Next time, if you want to start out modded, enter the extras Professional mode and then FTP. you'll notice a couple of other files, including ShadowC.img

grr heh...
ok my box was modded [soft] and i tried this found a v1.0 on a torrent using MA.. first time it didnt work.
so i went and i pretty much made my c back to factory 4920 or whateva it is.. then erased the exploit and re applied it [because it was giving me the [restore blahblah instead of letting me start all over]
before i ran the xploit tho i went to xbox live and got my box to 5960 or whateva first all was well.
modded all was well.. made it so it would dualboot xlive safe. all was fine.
then i booted xlive safe.. went to the xboxlive tab and hit it so i could creat an xbox live account [got a free 2 months to use] and it went to a black screen..... so i powered down. xbox live safe booted again but i put in battlefront 2 and closed it [before the dash loaded] went into xbox live IN the game and it connected saying 'updating your xbox live' went about halfway then said error on disk may be damaged or dirty... now when i try to xbox live safe boot i get the error 21 ;/ if i have to restart i will its not that big of a deal. do i need to make my xbox live account BEFORE i do the mod etc.. or where did i go wrong?
ps krayzie... im naming my kid after you. ::bows::
yes, you have to create an account first.
using krayzie's extras, install a multiboot for LiveDash. when finished, power up the system with the eject button. this will give you a live enabled LiveDash to make your account. since you only have a 2 month, i suggest keeping your altdash as LiveDash to make easy changes

Since you are using 1.0 the error 21 is easy fixable by taking the restore msdash optin in the installer. And for the live acount switch the exploit off first (but only after you solved the error21)

Thank you for using your time and skills to put your installer together for everyone.
Just because exploits don't have the $$$ attached doesn't mean they don't bring anything to the scene.
If it wasn't for your hard work, we wouldn't have it so easy.

yes i got it to work.... kinda. i restored the msdash as krayzie suggested. then loaded the exploit again and turned off the softmod. rebooted then i could sign up for live etc.. made my live account.. then i reloaded to turn the softmod back on so i could eject to xlive safemode everything went great! only one problem
when i eject to safemode for xlive whenever i go to 'fiends' it goes to a black sceen again... ;/ the only way that i can go back is to repeat the above process - go in use the xplot turn off the softmod to reg dash then do xlive stuff..
is there a way that i wont have to do the explot every single time to view my fiends list/messages etc... while NOT in a game?
edit: also when im in ony unleash x dash i see i have 175 free in my c:\ is that right cuz i reaed something about shadow c making it like next to empty? or does that only apply when i boot to m$ dash? and it says my G is non existant unless i open pxx hdloader and i have 13 gigs still free of my 55 or something.
Friends list and voice chat do not function. you'd have to turn off the mod each time in order to use those functions.
as for G drive, go into the Settings in unleash x, go to Storage, and find the option to Enable G Drive. Turn that to Yes, reboot, and you're golden.
i'm guessing my version of the the exploits are outdated, since i didn't have the option to turn off the mod. can you confirm, Krayzie?

First off....AWESOME job Krayzie! I appreciate your work. Just finished up, and all went very smooth. I guess I jumped the gun as far as "extras" go, because I added none. I can use Flashfxp to add XBMC later, thats not a problem (along with emulators). My question is how can I (or is it too late) install the dual boot option. Do I simply copy the dualboot folder over ftp, then execute the .xbe (there are 3 I think-which one?). Thanks again for making this install idiot proof...('course I screwed it up a little).

As I've said many times before....I am a complete xbox live n00b. I only used it like 3 times on my 360 and I have no idea at all how xbox live handles any of its fuctions like voice chat friends lists text messages or what not. I do not know anything about that so I cannot answer any of those questions.
Since Ndure protagonist is much more experienced with xbox live and also has lots of knowledge about exploits i might be better to ask him such questions.

{^ You are mistaken... ^}
I defer to Ndure protagonist's superior knowledge....though i must ask how he gets it to function using Krayzie's installer.
because as far as i have been able to tell, my statement about Friend's List and Voice Chat not working with the mod enabled, which is directly related to Krayzie's installer and ONLY to krayzie's installer (Hence my posting in the topic title "Krayzie Ndure Installer (gamesave Style), without any changes to the installer made by the end user, has been proven true.
Several times.
Ndure Protagonist, we have been asking on this thread since krayzie's NDure 1.1 came out how to use the Friend's List and Voice Chat functions with this particular installer. No answers have come from Krayzie as he hasn't used live with his original xbox, and has no point of reference as to what the rest of us are talking about. Screenshots have been shown, but he can't help us. And he's done supurb work as it is.
If you know something we don't, would you mind telling the rest of us? We certainly appreciate the work everyone has put in, but answers like "You are mistaken...." do not exactly help the rest of us out.
Please elaborate for us how you made Krayzie's Ndure Installer 1.1 work with voicechat and friend's list, and tell me how i'm mistaken.

Falure
Batch Process Failed
The last item was xml's mislabeled
Action: Rename
HMMM
Your dash is stock again, as you had requested.
before you go ANY further, create a Rescue disc.
At the point you are at, i'd say to uninstall the mod completely, install a fresh set of game save exploits, and start over.

I'm sorry if this has been posted already, but I couldn't look through 65 pages of posts...
What is the purpose of the reboot to activate the shadow C?
The reason I ask is, I'm wanting to take the entire C/E contents post-NDURE, and put them on my xboxhdm install. In theory, this should work, but I've never done a manual shadow C before.
Barring that, do you think this would work with a copy of all the contents just before the reboot? So after xboxhdm, it will be at the activation part?
Thanks in advance.

@Agent Orange ..here a snippet from the readme.txt of the latest NKpatcher, it should help you create a proper xboxhdm disc
"* ADDED two global override functions
now there is a easy way to disable the shadowC and virtual EEPROM for making system changes.
just put any file named shadowC_off.bin and/or EEPROM_off.bin in the root of E:\
reboot and do what you need then delete or rename it."
So, if I'm reading this right, I could simply turn off the shadow on the softmodded drive, make the image, then after I run xboxhdm and install the HD, I could just delete the files on E:, and I'd be set?

yes it is. upgrade to 1.1 if you can.
if you can't, you'll have to find Kinroach's NDure Installer, unzip on your PC, then find the folder called NDTS (NDure Tool Set).
ftp that folder to your apps, reboot your box, and run it. the system light should turn red, but you should be at your dashboard's main menu.
look in the file explorer and check out the c drive. if you see a file called ShadowC.img, you're looking at your ACTUAL C drive. copy all the files via FTP and place in the xboxhd C folder.
keep in mind: with 1.0, you can't update the virtual eeprom in the normal way. if you want to install this package on another xbox, you will have to update the eeprom manually, or some settings that are eeprom dependant (mainly audio type and screen settings) will not "stick." I do not know how to manually update the virtual eeprom.
Failing to update the eeprom will mean that to get full function you would have to uninstall the mod and then remod the system, making it a total waste of time to do the C image this way in the first place.
I maintain my suggestion, which makes it easy to install a new drive on any system: Use a Stock 5960 C drive, copy your apps, emulators, and personalized settings/dashboard to the E drive along with a virgin TDATA folder and a UDATA folder that ONLY has the exploit save files on it. create this disc as a generic, then use a CD-rw or DVD-RW to create and eeprom spesific disc to lock the drive each time. takes a lot less time to burn when you have a spesific eeprom disc with nothing else on it (no C, no E). since it's rewriteable you aren't wasting a ton of media either. Do rewriteables for both and you can update regularly.
This method gives you a premade hard drive with all your apps and settings "Hidden" on the E drive, and a stock C drive. install the drive after locking and pop in your exploit disc. run the mod and you are done.
Final note: if you use your own version of the dashboard (some like XBMC, others like me customize Unleash X), place it on the E drive folder and name it Dashboard2. When the box is modded, you can easily delete the Dashboard folder and then rename Dashboard2 to Dashboard. IGR and your settings are all up, ready to go.

That's pretty much the setup I have now. I was hoping to remove as much of the process as possible, though... it seems redundant to build a stock drive THEN mod it, when I'm already moving files around....
I usually just make a generic disk, then put EEPROM's on floppies.
I'll see if I can get on xbins and check out 1.1
You'd still have to do things with the drive anyway....set up your dashboard settings the way you want it, set up your multiboots, etc. even if all that was done on your premod disc, you'd STILL have to update the virtual eeprom. redundency aside, it doesn't take that long to reset up the mod, and i feel that it's a bit of extra insurance to help you know you did it right.
if ANYONE gets on xbins, please let me know. i've been trying to update my emulators package.

2 SC Saves?
WTF
Which needs to be transferred to a memory unit? SC Save 1 or 2 or both, alot of the files look the same, and even then do i just unzip the zip and straightaway drag over the UDATA folder or do i go into the UDATA folder and drag over the files inside?

Both need to be transfered. i use 2 memory cards, but you can also copy one then format and copy the other.

If you have a virgin xbox, in the dashboard go to settings then sytem info and then wait for the menu to scroll down until you see something like:
K 1.00.xxxx.01 (this xxxx is your kernall)
D 1.00.xxxx.01 (this xxxx is your dash)

krayzie,
I unzipped the 1.1 MA save. I already have a previous MA folder on UDATA which includes a normal gamesave, saveimage.xbx, titleimage.xbx, titlemeta.xbx and the ltools 1.7.5 folder which is the same name as yours: "62D648EBF155". I need to have ltools running to FTP your save into the HD. Then I planned on uninstalling the UDE and going back to premod (5960dash) to game exploit then install your Ndure. Is it ok if I rename your "62D648EBF155" folder to say... "62D648EBF156" then just add it in with the others or will this throw everything off?
Also, in your extras, what is dvdx and does it need to be unRAR?

you can delete and ftp the new folder fine while running ltools. renaming numbers will give you errors.
and in the extras you don't need to unrar anything. dvdx2 is a dvd player app

It's not dangerous to delete ltools save while its running?
I uninstalled UDE. To be safe should I C-restore since or is that unnecessary? I still have tHc on the C but don't mind getting rid of it. Also, does that means I should I delete modified E such as "backup_linux," "BiosLD," and "CACHE"(i'm not sure if ltools tweaked CACHE or not)?
no deleting while running makes no difference. Once it's running it's running from memory and cache and deleting it makes no changes untill you reboot.
and for a basic install the C needs to be in completely stock state so no dashes or anything else that don't belong there. On E it would not be completely necesarry to remove those folder but they do not serve ofg any use either. It may be wiser to delete them though since it might take up space which is needed for the ndure installer's backup. cache will be deleted anyway during install.

I have a Krayzie Ndure 1.0 softmodded only xbox which is working very well (thank you Krayzie!)
When I did the softmod I used the MA savegame which worked fine and it is still on my HD as an "emergency backdoor" (just to have ftp capabilities in case I screw up with an XBMC upgrade for example)
Now, I'd like to upgrade my softmod to Krayzie Ndure 1.1 via the upgrade option. My idea was to FTP to my UDATA directory the new MA savegame (which I found in the Krayzie Ndure rar package) and then run it, but i realized (as willjzuke also posted) that it has the same name than Ndure 1.0 and therefore I'm forced to overwrite my "emergency backdoor".
Is there a way that I can use to ftp savegame 1.1 without overwriting savegame 1.0? (as you can immagine I'm kind of scared to remove my emergency tool: it will be like to jump without parachute)
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
blackdir
I don't think you guys get the concept. Let's break it down in pieces
state 1: You have an xbox with a working Ndure 1.0 install and the 1.0 ndure save as an emergency backdoor.
in this state you have the save as a backdoor but it isn't really needed as long as you stay off of any things that mess with the softmods
Therefore in this state you can safely remove the 1.0 save and directly after that transfer the 1.1 save over and this will lead to state 2: (it is recommended to extract the main zip file and replace the saves via ftp located in the e:\udata folder) IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED TO FIRST REMOVE THE OLD 1.0 SAVE(S) COMPLETELY
state 2: You now have a working ndure 1.0 install and the 1.1 save. In this situation the 1.1 save still acts as an emergency backdoor as it will grant you ftp acces which is the most important part. Further more the rescue disc option, the switch menu and restore option of this save are still functional with the 1.0 install.
In this state 2 you are not 100% certain if the save will work offcourse so untill you actually loaded it it is very much not recommended to alter anything about the softmod
Then to upgrade you can safely load the new save by launching the game (or launching it via the extras app/disc) and then select the upgrade function

Of course you must have known that successfully installing Ndure doesn't mean the questions will stop coming, ha ha I'm sorry.
I spent a good 5 hours figuring out how to connect and upgrade my dash to 5960 before the install. The only way I can link to the internet is a direct connection to the cable modem (there is only one port on the whole modem). Took me long enough to figure out how the network settings had to be configured (xbox's IP, sub mask, gateway, both DNS servers, host name, and MAC address had to be copied exactly from the PC ipconfig). Now, that UX is up and running I want to dl skins and update the dash but I can't connect by using neither the default network settings, my PC's settings, nor the old (ltools) settings I used with EvoX to get on LinksBoks. I can not connect with UX, LinksBoks, or msdash.
The reason I'm asking you what you think is because I am wondering if this is all this is due to a way the Ndure install is presetup (a bios thing, or etc...). I was under the impression, before install, that msdash live was not allowed as a feature of the exploit to prevent banning. Does that go for other programs, too? Or, how should I try to setup my network connections/config.xml?
PS. I can't figure how to change the MAC address on UX and every time I go back into msdash it changes.

only connections directly to the live servers are blocked. the rest of the network should work fine. The main thing to set this is in the main dash (network settings) as each time the xml is loaded these settings are reset to these values. There are some great ftp guides on the forums so you would have to find them.

krayzie, i uploaded the new (1.1) savegame after I erased 1.0 and as you anticipated it is working fine (-> it runs and I'm able to ftp).
Now before I run the upgrade from 1.0 option I have 2 questions:
a - after softmodding to 1.0 the only significant change I made was to run Enigmah video selector to move from PAL (which was my original xbox video mode) to NTSC and activate HDTV. My krayzie ndure 1.0 softmodded xbox is working perfectly in 720p mode. Would this video mode change affect your upgrade from 1.0 option? i.e. would it be beffer to switch back to PAL (no HDTV) before running the upgrade?
b - currently when I run 1.1 savegame from MA, it shows only 0,55 MB available on C: would it be enough to run your upgrade from 1.0 option?
thanks,
blackdir

I narrowed down my backup games problem and it seems to happen after i do the krayzie extra's update virtual epprom.
example:
transferred counter strike on the softmodded xbox
played it and it worked
then went to krayzie's extras and updated virtual epprom
and then cold booted xbox and dash works but counter stike gets black screen.
This is the problem I was getting the last week on different games and couldn't narrow down the problem.
Figured I would alert you if you were not aware of this problem.
in the past I would just make my own new virtual epprom but I liked the NEW feature you made ... hope you can figure out what is happening because I really like that NEW feature.
It doesn't happen on all games but I was getting the black screen on enough of the games for me to try to figure out the problem.
p.s. loaded on one of my epproms on the softmod and the game worked again.

Can i suggest something?
Assuming you reflashed the real eeprom, if you've already updated the actual eeprom, why not uninstall the mod and then remod directly with the new eeprom?
i know this doesn't solve the overall problem in the end, but we might be able to find out a little more about the problem this way as well...
Keep in mind that unless Krayzie, or anyone else for that matter, can replicate exactly what you are doing, there really isn't any way anyone can solve the issue.
I also ran into a little bit of a problem last week with Parental Controls not being set high enough to allow the playing of Star Wars and The Sims 2. The games didn't black screen, but they would not start. Longshot, but check that out also, just in case.
So, to reinterate, i gather that you installed a new eeprom properly, rebooted, and then attempted to update the virtual eeprom *OR* you are preinstalling new hard drives based upong an eeprom already used that doesn't match the xbox you are locking the drive to, and then to complete the mod you wish to update the virtual eeprom.
Upon updating the eeprom (message saying that update complete) Counter-Strike will not start.
Have i got it right?

Krayzie....
I think many people have been making the assumption that the Update Virtual Eeprom was there to help aid in doing a preinstalled state, for example, copying the actual C drive files onto a PC and using xboxhd with those files to create a premodded state.
then they figure you can just update the virtual eeprom and have it work. in theory, i assumed it could work this way also, but i felt it was overall just a better idea to do a fresh mod each time.

Further troubleshooting turned up the problem ... it was the epprom hd drive key I made up for the xbox's that was faulty.
I used all 00000's for the hd key ... figureing it would be easy to remember for multiply xbox's.
What is easist hd key that works that so I can use for multiply xbox's ... 99 percent of games worked with all 0000's but some games will not work with it.
So "update virtual epprom" program was not the problem after all ... but the hd key '000000000000"

yep zeroing out the hdkey is no good and makes some games crash (as they use the hdkey for the saves). I think it's best to use an existing hdkey and not a random one to match other xboxes.

yeah well this would work also.....the update virtual eeprom removes the existing eemprom image and replaces it with a fresh one. So people could indeed use 1 C and E backup and then update virtual eeprom to ensure they have the right file there

Is this possible to do? If not, do I have any alternatives to running knoppmyth with krayzie installed?

Completed the Softmod with Krayzie v1.1 MA exploit, and all went super! Thanks a million Krayzie! I am now trying to get the rescue disc completed just in case. I copied the original contents of C: from E:/backups into the rescue disc folder for C. I also put copies of the TData & UData into their folders as well. Placed a copy of Evox into the dashboard folder and used Quix to create the .iso. My question is what do I do with the Eeprom folder (E:/backups/eeprom)? Is that strickly for backup purposes & it doesn't belong on the .iso? Sorry but I don't understand exactly.

you need to copy the eeprom to your pc and keep it safe. the eeprom backup can be very helpfull if other things don't work anymore. You could for example use it with xboxhdm to rebuild your hd at any time without the need of hotswapping.

If you burn an image to a disc it's no longer an iso. Burning discs or accessing them is the same on every type of mod. What you installed is totally irrelevant

When ever I try running a dvd with an iso file, the dashboard says it cannot read it. I just want to know if loading a program from an iso is possible and if so, how do I do it. Thanks,
Again, the actual questions are as follows:
1. Is Knoppmyth an Xbox executble file (.xbe)?
2. Are you attempting to RUN a disc with a file on it that is named "InsertNameHere.ISO"?
3. Are you formatting the disc above for the xbox?
it *SOUNDS* like you are mixing up your terms, which is a cause for confusion.
an ISO is an IMAGE file. When you burn the IMAGE to disc, the files CONTAINED in the image file get burnt in the way that the image was formatted.
When you burn the IMAGE FILE to disc, the IMAGE FILE gets burnt as a DATA (ISO 9660) disc. You would open the directory on the disc and see "InsertNameHere.ISO" instead of the files contained in the image.
So, to solve all your problems:
1. If Knoppmyth is not an xbox executable file (.xbe), don't bother attempting to run it. You've already failed.
2. If you are burning a disc and you can read that disc in the PC and see "InserNameHere.ISO" instead of "KnoppmythXboxProgram.xbe" (that was an example), then you have created a DATA disc. Start over and burn the image with Alcohol to prevent this mistake.
3. If you burn the disc with Alcohol and find the xbox won't read it, then give up on that file. your ISO image file is NOT meant for use in the xbox. You'll have to format it using Qwix.
EITHER WAY
Krayzie's Installer is about softmodding the xbox itself, NOT about running programs on a softmodded box. You are confusing yourself, and in the process confusing others. Stop what you are doing and go back to the main forums. Look for topics that match what you are asking about (backup creation, programs that run on the xbox, Dashboard forums that tell you if a dashboard can "read and iso file", etc).
If none of this makes any sense to you, please go back to the Newbies forum.
I am aware that I have to burn it as an iso image, which I have. I probably have been though every tutorial there is on softmoding an xbox. I have found instruction on reading an iso image with every linux softmode hack install beside krayzie installer. I just want to know how to read an iso image with this installer package.
Okay, burning ISO files has NOTHING to do with Krayzie's Installer.
In fact, Krayzie's installer has NOTHING to do with READING ISO files. That would be up to the program you are attempting to read the iso from, most likely the Dashboard you have chosen.
ISO - Internation Standards Organization
ISO File - a SINGLE file that acts like an IMAGE of a Disc that can be burnt using Nero or Alcohol to produce a Disc that would have MANY files on it. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BURN THE ISO *FILE* TO THE DISC, BUT RATHER TO BURN THE ISO *IMAGE* TO THE DISC!!!
Example:
1. I have these files:
Game.file
Game 2.file
Game.xbx
2. I create and ISO of those files. The file is named Game.iso, and now in that folder i have this:
Game.iso
Wrong Way
3. I burn the "Game.iso" file to a disc by dragging and dropping to Nero. I can also add my MP3 Collection:
Game.iso
MP3.mp3
MP32.mp3
4. I choose "Burn" in Nero and when i put the disc in, i get directory like this:
Game.iso

This is what it sounds like you are trying to do!!!
Right Way
3. I burn the Game.iso image to a disc using Alcohol or Image Wizard or DVD Decrypter. I can't add any extra files.
Game.iso
4b. I choose Burn in Alcohol and get a disc that has a directory like this:
Game.file
Game 2.file
Game.xbx
This is what you are supposed to get
Instructions:
Create or Select the iso to burn.
Make certain you know what the image is supposed to run on (xbox iso images have to be formulated in a special way)
Using Alcohol, choose BURNING WIZARD.
Select your ISO FILE
BURN away. Be sure to use DVD-R media for best compatiblity with the Xbox.
upon completion, if your ISO file was meant for the xbox, the xbox will load the disc. If it wasn't, you need to go back to burning school.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If the iso image is supposed to be dvd movie, i have found that Xbox Media Center can play ISO files directly.

Installed DVDx2 through the extras disc & am having a question regarding parental settings. Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered - I saw many posted questions, but no good answers. Every disc I put in gives me a parental settings warning. It asks if I want to play - yes or no. How can I get rid of this annoying screen please. Also, XBMC seems to have trouble reading DVD movies as well. It has a Samsung drive, which usually is the better one to have. Is this specific to the non-chipped xbox vs chipped?

both the parental settings or dvd playback have nothing to do with certain installer or softmods in general.

Xbox Live information and settings:
Note: This only applies if you have Xbox Live. In the Xbox Dashboard, go to "Settings", then to "Network", and choose "Connect" so that it tests your connection. When it is finished, press Y to view the information about your connection the Live network. You can also press Black to save your network settings so that you can bring them with you on a memory unit.

Xbox Live upload performance:
Adjusting the MTU settings on your router may give you a better upload rate. Go to your set up page and adjust the MTU setting to 1490. This is found on the filter settings on most routers. MS recommends a setting of at least 1460. Raising it to 1490, then selecting apply and making sure it is enabled should increase your upload speed. Turn off your computer and power down the modem then the router, in that order. Wait for 60 to 90 seconds then plug in the modem and wait until it goes through the boot up process. Then, power up your router and turn on your computer. You should only have to do this one time. Then, go to the connect test on your Xbox and see if the upload has increased.

Playing burned music discs:
Burn music onto a CD-RW (not a CD-R) disc, and close the session when you burn the CD. Place it in your Xbox and rip away.

Note: This also works with .MP3 files. The Xbox can store .MP3s and replay them later and saves a lot of space when compared to the .WAV files that are standard on audio discs.

Console name:
Each Xbox console has a "name" assigned to it at the time of manufacture. To view the name of your system, play Halo link it to another Xbox and choose a linked play party. The Xboxs will have names above their symbols in the pre-game stat screen. To change your name, play challenge mode in Dead Or Alive 3. Successfully complete challenge mode and you will be prompted to enter a record name. Enter the name that you wish to change your pre-assigned Xbox name to. This will now be the title your Xbox is referred to during linked play. Note: Although you cannot delete a name, you can change it again. Keep playing a mode where you can enter a "nickname" in Dead Or Alive 3 and get it to the top of the list.
Alex, Henry Soto, Peltz, and Kevin Fruth.
To see your Xbox name easily, start Halo, go into multi-player mode, choose "Split Screen", "Profile", and "Location". After all that is done, there will be a screen that reads "Waiting for more players". The picture of the Xbox is directly above your profile name, and above your picture will be a word. That word will be used as your name when XBox goes online. This works best when there is only one controller plugged into the Xbox, so the multi-player game will not start before you see your name.
Jesse Rogers.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Cel Damage. When you enter a valid cheat code in the game, it will also change the name of your Xbox (for example, ENCHILADA!).
ted and cody hobbins.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Moto GP. Your Xbox will be renamed to the profile name used in that game.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Create an Xbox Live! nickname (you do not have to actually sign up or use it), and that entry will now be your Xbox's name.
Progressive Scan Dashboard:
Note: This requires the Tsunami Xbox Live! update, a high definition monitor, and the High Definition AV pack. Enable the 480p resolution option in the Xbox's video settings. Then press L + R + click Left Analog-stick + click Right Analog-stick to switch at the Dashboard to switch to a progressive scan display.
Reformat hard drive:
Note: Reformatting the hard drive will delete all of your saved games and soundtracks. Go to "Settings" then "System Info". Then, press Y, Left Analog-stick Up, Left Analog-stick Down, X, A.

Use headset with cellphone:
You can plug your Xbox Live headset into some cellphones and use it as a hands free device. This may not work for every brand, but can be done with Nextel models.

Hey krayzie, et al.
Alright, i made the jump to an x3 chip, but i only did it for the X3CP, X3IR, and flubber changes. i really won't be using anything else on the chip at all....which means that i want it to run the softmod by default.
I have run into a problem, and i'm not sure where to go with it....when the chip is enabled, i can not get it to run the dashboard.
does anyone have any ideas/instructions to get an X3CE to work with NDure by default? i figure that i'd have to make some changes and probably flash a different (stock?) bios to one of the chip banks, but haven't figured it out yet.
thanx

I replied how to do it here, http://forums.xbox-s...dpost&p=3332487
But Krayzie is still right. When you boot a modded bios it removes the feature's of Ndure. You would also not be able to try to get on live either. When your booting modded your using the X3 bios. But you will still be able to boot to the dashboard if you set it up in X3 Config Live. You will also only be able to set it up to boot with quicklaunch only. X3 bios does not support booting from subdirectories.
You could just use Slayers Auto Installer and do a full install with EvoX on C:\evoxdash.xbe and then go into your X3 Config Live and set the dash to boot from C and set the dash name up for "evoxdash.xbe" and then you will boot EvoX. If you do go with Slayers though, make sure you remove Krayzies Installer, when you boot with the chip off his mod will kick in again.

Well, when i run with the mod off, i want the installer to be there still. that part works just fine. i guess all i really need is a way to run the dashboard differently (maybe a copy of the dashboard in E or F), and still find some way to utilize the shadowC drive. i'll look at the other replies in a minute, the server was down last night
thanx all
EDIT:
Here is what i posted in the mod forum:
I guess what i need is the Soft mod installed for ShadowC and my current setup to remain intact and functional, only with the benefits of the chip, which for me are only superficial....color changing, the LCD screen enabled, the USB enabled, and the IR port.
i figure that i'd have several boot options.....
1 for retail 1.4 (which i hope will lead to krayzie's NDure Installer being able to work correctly, with the LCD on)
1 for retail 1.6 (which i hope will lead to krayzie's NDure Installer being able to work correctly, with the LCD on)
1 bank with the best bios available for the chip in 1.0 - 1.5
1 bank with the best bios available for the chip in 1.6
1 for the flashbios
Possibly 1 for linux?
If i can set the chip up this way, i'd be REALLY happy. the chip's primary purpose was to add the CP, IR, and LCD screen to my 128mb 1.4. The Chip's secondary purpose was to use to repair other systems.
thanx

if the msdash was working prior to the install it should work from the evox link. If it isn't just replace the C with the msdash files and it works. Make sure the virtual C is active though (there isn't a red led)

1. This isn't prone to clock loop, is it?
2. If I get rid of Dongle-free DVD player, will it make it so I can use the remote? My parents don't like using the controller.
3. I just FTP the Extras folder to XBOX, right?
Thanks again for your work, UnleashX and your softmod rock!!!!

Clock loop is a thing of the past
You can still use the remote if you want. You can change settings in UnleashX.xml to change the default DVD player to the MSDashboard or to XBox Media Center. you may even be able to use the remote in DVDX, but i haven't looked into it yet.
Yes, you can just FTP over the Extras Folder. I put it under E:\Apps\Extras

Hey all, I've run into a bit of a problem. Using version 1.0 of the Krayzie Softmod, I seem to have messed up something. I have gotten an error 13 and can no longer launch the dashboard. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and I'm not sure what screwed up. Everything looked like it worked, but then when I rebooted for the package to work with the Shadow C, it gave me error 13. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Looks like I could get back into the game, which is a plus. At this point, should I remove the softmod or restore MSDash or what? Thanks for the help!

just ftp over standard msdash files (make sure your led isn't red when you do this) I guess you formatted your C and then used a minimum install to install the softmod which leaves an empty virtual C)

I just totally ranted about my frustrations with the chip, and with some of the people in the scene. It seems to obvious to me, i can't understand why no one else can see it.
the security of the soft mod mixed with the added "goodies" and security features of a mod chip. Unless NKPatcher has a way to change the color of the animation sequence, the only way to get that last lil bit of yummy halo 2 blue xbox goodness is by installing a bios that supports it. The only way to use an LCD is to use a bios that supports it. And if you are like me, you want it all.....Shadow C, virtual Eeprom, locked or unlocked drives, Xbox Live blocking, xbox live compatibility by simply coldbooting, custom flubber animations, clean root directories....the list goes on and on.

Krayzie,
Just wanted to say thanks for making this installer and to all the other who posted fixes before I even had to ask how. I was a little frustrated at first just because there are so many ways of getting this to the xbox and none of the attempts seemed to work for me. All I wanted this for was to use XBMC. Finally after getting it to the xbox the process was a snap. I'm a total n00b and it was flawless. Even had to use the fix for loading the extras and worked like a charm. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next update, if there is ever one.

Because i want no bootscrenn ,no DVD Authentification ,and i want my Air Cooler @ 50% .
I have a 1.6 Xbox Version.
Is it Possible ? =)
PS : Great Work !!!
Partly...you cannot disable or edit anything from the bootscreen with softmods. You also cannot disable the dvd check. You can however edit your fan speed in the bios using the extras customization option

Thx for Reply =)
And can i also put an EvoxM8 Bios in the Package and softmod it with the M8 Bios ?
It's possible in theory but not really easy. Anyway to clear some up. This package does not use a bios loader and does not load any bios. It patches your existing bios to do exactly what all hacked bioses do and more. If you would load the m8 bios you would take a big step downwards. In fact whenever you acces the extras or the save (when the led turns red) you load a evox m8 bios. Do you have a special need for the m8 bios or something or is it just something you heard of?

I'm going to be (soft)modding my Xbox for the first time soon and am looking to use your "Krayzie_SC-PAL_Ndure_Installer_v1.1" on my cherished Splinter Cell via a memory card (PC -> USB -> Controller -> Memory card), but the card is only 8 meg. The extracted install .zip is 15 meg. How am I meant to utilize it? It will just fit if I leave out the Extra's folder. Can I do that?
Also, if I have a 5960 version dashboard, is this the ONLY requirement needed to utilize the basic install feature?
Is this file the only one I'll need to softmod my Xbox to a state where I can boot up, do X, Y, Z, and end up in a modded dashboard? This sounds too damn good to be true.
Did you read ANY of the readme files in-cluded?
1. Unzip the package
2. Update the package
3. Copy both UDATA.zip files to memory card one at a time
4. Copy both UDATA.zip files to xbox one at a time
5. Mod
6. Back to PC, read the readme files to create an Extras disc and a rescue disc

Hi krayzie, thank you for creating this tool
I'm a little bit confused with the install process. This is what a already did:
- Made an USB cable to connect my USB adapter to Xbox (Works)
- Connected an already modded xbox to my pc to transfer the files to the stick.
Now here's what I don't understand
And also there are to save games for SC, which one should I use?
thanks for the help : )
Okay, so the file is going across the network to your computer, then to your controller which is plugged into your computer, then to the memory card which is plugged into the controller? Why not just put it on a memory stick from the modded Xbox without bothering with FTP and such? Maybe I read you wrong, I dunno.
Two savegames for SC? You're probably looking at the PAL and NTSC versions. If you're in Aussieland, Britland etc. you'll want PAL, if you're in Amerika you'll be wanting NTSC. Better check specifically if you don't fall into those categories.

Why not just put it on a memory stick from the modded Xbox without bothering with FTP and such? Maybe I read you wrong, I dunno.
Two savegames for SC? You're probably looking at the PAL and NTSC versions. If you're in Aussieland, Britland etc. you'll want PAL, if you're in Amerika you'll be wanting NTSC. Better check specifically if you don't fall into those categories.
No, There are 1 SC saves. the Linux installer save and the SC exploited profile. both have to be on the system in order to use SC as your install disc.
My bad, I thought I did but must have missed that. Sorry for the ignorance, but what do you mean by 'update the package'? I can't see anything in the readme files.

Hi krayzie, thank you for creating this tool
I'm a little bit confused with the install process. This is what a already did:
- Made an USB cable to connect my USB adapter to Xbox (Works)
- Connected an already modded xbox to my pc to transfer the files to the stick.
Now here's what I don't understand
Did you read ANY of the readme files in-cluded?
1. Unzip the package
2. Update the package Update???
3. Copy both UDATA.zip files to memory card one at a time The problem is that I can't acces my memory card from FTP
4. Copy both UDATA.zip files to xbox one at a time Do I have to upload the folder and the zip file? both in the same dir? could you be a little bit more specific please?
5. Mod
6. Back to PC, read the readme files to create an Extras disc and a rescue disc
And also there are to save games for SC, which one should I use?
thanks for the help : )
Not sure what you did with the USB Adapter, but alright. If the xbox sees the files the way you are doing it, great. My instructions were really there for people who use the Memory card and controller to do this.
you have to use the Action Replay software or similar program to put both save games on your memory card. The memory cards/action replay cards are too small to handle both save games at once, which was why there are 2 seperate save games. Both are needed.
2. Look in this post or in krayzie's signature for the updates.
3. Why do you need FTP access to your memory card????? What did you read before you attempted this???
4. YOU don't have to upload anything. The action replay software will do it for you. Otherwise, you'll have to unzip the UDATA.zip file and place the UDATA folder that's in it on to E:\

Hi Krayzie,
I cannot connect to live any more...I was able to do that, but yesterday I inserted halo2 and chose load dvd from unleash x, and tried to play live and then failed to connect. After that I can't connect any more. I am afraid I got banned again (I have changed my eeprom once). Do you think it is possible?
BTW, what is the difference between 1.1 and 1.0? I have 1.0 installed long time ago.
You *CAN'T* connect to live with krayzie's mod from UnleashX. if you are using krayzie's, you couldn't have gotten on live before.
Live access is done via cold boot. Stick your game in the dvd, turn the system off, turn it back on.

I don't know how the app works. I know some linux kernels also delimit the ram so I guess the bios/kernel needs to be altered/patched.
You are ofcourse free to do what you want with the package. Maybe I'm doing some other minor updates later on and I'm thinking I will release it complete and officially when they all done.
Well, i have to find the right person to talk to.....normally i'd expect NDure Protagonist to have chimed in with an idea or 2 by now. There are several things i'd like to know....does NKPatcher patch the bios as it's loading (flubber) or afterwards. if it's before, it's theoretically possible to set it so that the patch can change the color of the flubber, or possibly even enable LCD screens....which, if it happened, i'd get rid of my chip.
but i degress. my main operating mode is chip on while i'm home, chip off otherwise. The main uses of the system are for running emulators and xbmc. i want to make sure i can use all my ram, so if you got ANY idea as to why a program that has the ability to see 128mb can't see it (i think bios limited, perhaps nkpatcher needs a tweak), please let me know. would love to hear anyone else who runs softmodded and has a 128mb upgrade.
Can you tell me where in your installer is each copy of UnleashX?
thanx much

The exploit kicks in when xboxdash.xbe loads it's fonts. Then nkpatcher is launched and the kernel is patched. The bios boots to xboxdash.xbe so there is no way to edit anything before xboxdash.xbe loads (including the bootlogo).
And like I said before the ram is probably limited inside the kernel. If you find the app that is normally used to delimit it or maybe a bios that supports all 128 mb and you show it to xman then maybe he can implement it in nkpatcher.
And there is only one unleashx in my package. It's in the main folder named unleashx.xbe

Now I have a different problem that I see in both, but in mine are more obvius. I don´t know if are problem of hardware or what.
Games like Fifa06 looks like have a little freeze in certain parts of the game (even playing with my original games), I think I got to ask this in the hardware forum.

I found the app in the Usual Places, under Dev. i'll pass it to xman if i can. thanx for the heads up.....now, which xman do i pass it to?? there seems to be 14 of them lol
So....the default.xbe that is used as the first menu in the installer isn't UnleashX? Same for the Extras? I was going to go thru the whole package and use the newest UnleashX version, if for no other reason than because it was slightly smaller.

i have a problem that seems strange
somehow i f-ed using the installer and managed to completely not allow ms dash to load at all through unleashx menu or even deleting the entire mod
from wut i was tolld and understand is the only option is to copy original C: files back(i used files in slayers) and delete the old, and deleting all of e: except for udata and tdata
i did this and it booted me to an unleashx dash with only launch dvd tab, if i use the gamesave exploit it acts as if the mod is still on the harddrive(which it might be) and it will not allow me to remove because there is no backup of C: on E:(since i deleted it)
idk wut the hell to do now, since i cant ftp nemore and ms dash will not run and i have no way of even putting evox or unleash x back
seems odd that the original files will not boot ms dash when all files r present.....obviously im missing something huge here please some1 help!!!!!

@esskater9515: yeah you deleted your dashboard. You can still ftp to fix it. If your settings don't match just change them. Or optionally you can use the rescue disc to restore your dash.
@A Murder of Crows: there is only one unleashx inside each folder (gamesave installer, Extras and Rescue disc. Within those folder various parts and xml's are copied/renamed to make the menu look different throughout and after the installation. And I would pass it to the xman that made the latest nkpatcher additions. You will probably have the biggest chance with him.

I would say no. the default nkpatcher is set to .067 for a reason. this is to protect newbies from hard drive corruption.

Actually you can. I just defaulted it to 67 because of the countless questions from newbies on what type of nkpatcher to take.
To default it to 06 just grab 06.xbe out of extras\files\nkpatcher\ and put it in your gamesave's files\nkpatcher folder and rename it to default.xbe replacing the existing one. Remember to rar back up the files folder after the replacement

Perhaps i mis-understood the question...i thought he was asking if YOU would re-release the package so that it defaulted to 0.6 instead.
Duh....next time i need to Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Well yeah another reason to default it to 67 is that it is compatible on all hd sizes and .06 usually has a 250 gb limit so I personally would not release it defaulted to 06

I previously used xboxhdm+UDE and had evox installed. If now I use Krayzie's Ndure installer, what installation option should I use? Will it affect all the files in F: and G:?
Sorry if someone has asked same question, the topic is too long, didn't check all the previous posts.
you could use minumum install or revert back to stock and choose basic.
It will not affect any apps and games and such

thanks
Yes. The only question is what region your exploit game is from, and making sure you have the right save games for that region.
hi i'm really a noob at this softmodding stuff. i have a question, in this tutorial http://www.productwi...30_minutes.html do i choose evolution or unleashed?
That is your choice.
the page you listed gives a 404. Not sure if this has to do with krayzie's installler or not.
I suggest you go into the Dashboard forums and read up on both EvolutionX (EvoX) and UnleashX and determine which one you'd rather use. I picked UnleashX becase that was what Krayzie's Installer was coded in.

I'm always open for sugestions. This installer isn't for me but for you guys so you have to decide what you want in it or not. (I can then decide if it's reasonable or doable to do so)
So things on my todo list so far:
-hexedit dvdx for auto progressive (have to research that)
-update unleashx
-fix the dual msdash function for friends lists and what not
-use the updated vga patches from dr oldschool

Well, i've started half this work for you
I've got the exedit for DVDX Auto Progressive installed and working (tested on X2VGA 2 unit and SVideo), and i will be replacing the DVDX that's in your installer with it for my personal "unofficial" version of your installer, which will include some minor changes to some things, such as renaming "Basic Install" to "Full Install" and noting a difference between "Extras" and "Advanced Extras". I look forward to you checking it out when it's done.
UnleashX will also be updated.
I also hexed MSDash 5960 for auto progressive DVD play, though i can't try it at the moment.....since i know that the installer uses MSDAsh 5960 as a base for the "Full" install, i figured that it would work out well if you wanted to use teh M$ Dash DVD Player....however i hit a snag....seems that the actual MS Dash is slightly different from what the end user has access to when choosing "Launch MS Dashboard" from the completed mod....as when i attempted to hex edit that, it failed to find the corresponding hex string, so i can only assume it's a different file than what is included with 5960.....would like to chat with you about that in PMs
take care

Nice sugestions,
The 5960 msdash on the virtual C when modded is just a copy of the retail msdash that was on the xbox prior to the install. The files are copied from the backup. I could do something with a prepatched xboxdash though

Although hex editing xbes to output in 480p works, it is kind of messy. There is already an easier way to get automatic 480p, and it is already included in Krayzie's Ndure. Go to the Extras and go to the customization options and you can use Dr Oldschool's "Force Progressive" patch to force 480p whenever it wants to display in 480i.

That isn't seemless however. I'm not trying to "Force" progressive, i'm trying to make a proper Auto-Selection/Detection. I have a pretty complicated setup, and depending on my needs have either of my 2 xbox systems on either an SVideo connection or a Component connection. I suspect that if i "Force" progressive, it will break the ability to go back to SVideo on demand.
I believe that auto-selection/detection should be the standard of all xbe files and that any program not doing it is an oversight by the author.

Ok, but there is already an auto-switch for most things. If you hook up to S-Video and go to the MS Dash, notice you can't change the HD settings, because they aren't even there. The HD video settings only show when the cable in the back of the Xbox is detected as an HDTV cable. If you have all your apps set to use 480p, and then hook up an S-Video, they see that there is no HDTV cable and therefore ignore the HD settings, right? I use both cables and have never run into an App that runs in HDTV mode with an S-Video cable plugged in. The Xbox itself has built-in detection of video cables.

It's not all about the cables. It's about enabling the modes in the apps themselves.....for example, until i hexed it, DVDX would not play any movies in 480p. Now, i COULD have done the "Force Progressive" patch, but then, when the box next tried to run 480i because it's supposed to, what happens to the picture?
In the end, i feel it is a better choice to try to Hex edit all the individual programs that can be so that they can actually run natively without a "Force Progressive" patch, which from what i understood, was not 100% working across all versions of xbox anyway.

Did you bother to format the G drive? enabling it doesn't format it.
14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)
Same thing as above (error 13). This time it is also a little mistake from you on changing names or having played around with files on the xbox harddisk. Error 14 is most often because you changed boot orders or names of startup files on the harddisk. It can also happen when you are rebuilding your xbox harddisk with a slayer cd and the power was cut.
Suggestions:
Use a fresh Slayer's to completely wipe the drive and get stock C 5960 on the system. Lock the drive back to your xbox, and make sure it works. Don't put anything else on it from that disc.
Don't bother with XBPartitioner....everything you need to make your hard drive work is included in XBoxHDM or with Krayzie's Installer, with the exception of MS Dash 5960, which you can get from Slayer's or update using Halo 2, Dead of Alive Ultimate, Jade Empire, Sid Meier's Pirates, or any other newer Live enabled game.
Remake your XBHDM disc. Don't use a single item from before, since we don't know what may be corrupted. This means you should redownload XBoxHDM, Slayer's, and Krayzie's Installer, and the 1.1.1 update for your exploit disc.
Make sure you have NOTHING but stock C drive files in the C folder.
Make sure you only put in the Exploited Game Saves in the E folder under E:\UDATA
Make sure you have your proper EEPROM in the EEPROM folder.
When runnign the disc, make sure you choose option 1, 1 (from scratch), choose to setup and format F partitions and to copy over files for both E and C.
Reboot when completed and choose option 3, then "lockhd -a"
this should complete everything.
Install the drive, then follow this guide:
-------------------------------------------
#1 - Basic Setup
---------------------------
This section tunes up your Xbox to prep for the mod. Here, you will want to clean up your save games and choose all your settings for your favorite setups. You should also enable HD Modes and 5.1 Audio options here to make sure that the virtual eeprom uses your favorite settings.
What you Need Here:
-------------------
A) Xbox System
Power Cable
C) XBox Controller
D) Paper and Pen/Pencil, computer with NotePad
E) TV/Monitor Cables
Optional:
---------
A) HD/Component Cables
SVideo Cables
C) Optical Audio Cables
D) X2VGA 2
E) Home Theater Unit with Optical In (Optical Audio Cable)
F) HD TV (HD cables) or TV with SVideo In (SVideo Cables)
G) VGA PC Monitor (x2vga 2)
What To Do:
-----------
1. Hook up your xbox system with your chosen method (HD Cables, Svideo Cables, X2vga)
Optional: If using optical sound, please make sure to read your manual about how to enable the optical ports.
2. Turn on the xbox with no game in it. THis will take you to the MS Dashboard. You should have video and sound working here. Check your manuals for your TV, x2vga, or Home Theater unit here if you don't.
3. Set the date, time, and time zone properly for your region.
4. In Audio Settings, Set the Audio Mode according to how you hooked up the system. I use Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sound. These modes reqiure SVideo or HD/Component Cables to be enabled. I suggest enabling this mode in all xbox systems as the sound comes out in standard Stereo if you don't have the proper cable hooked up later, yet it retains the Optical/5.1 setting when you go back to that type of setup.
5. In Video Settings, set the video mode to whichever you prefer. I use Letterbox to allow widescreen viewing on my 4:3 monitor.
6a. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC ONLY - In Video Settings, set the video modes to enable the Progressive Scan Modes your monitor can handle. You Need HD/Component cables to be able to enable these modes. The Safest bets are to only enable 720p and 480p at the most, as some games won't work with 1080i mode enabled. Like the 'hidden' audio options, these choices retain, even if you move the xbox to a non-component, non-hd tv. This will only work on NTSC xbox systems. PAL Users wanting HD/Progressive Scan will have to convert their system over to NTSC to do so.
6b. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC, Dashboard 5960 ONLY - After enabling your Progressive Scan modes in 6a, back out to the Main Menu. Hold down both triggers and "Click" on both thumbsticks. This will enable the Dashboard to be displayed in Progressive Scan 480p mode. This only works on dash 5960 and above. If your dash has not yet been updated to 5960, follow the rest of the FAQ and return here to enable the mode later.
7. With your xbox plugged in and turned on, delete any Game Save Data that you have for the chosen Exploit Disc. Although this is not always nessescery in all cases, it is HIGHLY suggested to prevent errors. While here, you should delete as many Game Saves and Custom Soundtracks as you can live without. No need to delete them all, but ones you won't use anymore or ones you can live without should be removed. These files all reside on your E partition, which is where a lot of this mod will occur.
8. In Settings, choose Xbox Info and wait till the copyright info scrolls up. Here you will see 2 sets of numbers. Write these down in a safe place.
9. Optional - Use a DVD-Lens Cleaner disc to clean the laser of your drive. You should do this about once a month.
Upon deleting all the Game Saves that you can, enabling all modes you might want to use now or in the future, and writing down your kernel info, your xbox is ready to either be modded or updated to Dashboard 5960.
--------------------
When you are done with all thatm run your exploit. Choose UnleashX. follow the instructions on screen well.
when the system reboots for the last time, choose System, then Settings, go to Storage, and select "Enable G Drive"
reboot
now go to File Manager
go to G Drive
hit the White Button
Choose Format Drive
you should be done

It's not all about the cables. It's about enabling the modes in the apps themselves.....for example, until i hexed it, DVDX would not play any movies in 480p. Now, i COULD have done the "Force Progressive" patch, but then, when the box next tried to run 480i because it's supposed to, what happens to the picture?
In the end, i feel it is a better choice to try to Hex edit all the individual programs that can be so that they can actually run natively without a "Force Progressive" patch, which from what i understood, was not 100% working across all versions of xbox anyway.
But here is the thing, the Force Progressive is actively doing the same thing as your hex edits, as it only is enabled when it detects an HDTV cable. Therefore, what you said about using the patch and forcing progressive, then wanting to play through 480i, it works perfectly. It only switches to 480p if it detects an HDTV cable and the application is running in 480i. If you want to play it in 480i, then you're fine as long as you don't use an HDTV cable. Everything that you have done is already possible and is in fact easier.
Your solution does work, but it also means that each xbe will have to be hex-edited, each application itself will have to be re-rar'ed and re-uploaded back onto Xbins and each person who wants this will have to re-download every single application. That is a lot of work.
Or..
You can go to Krayzie's Extras and enable the Force Progressive patch and it works for everything (games, apps, etc.) Even the latest MS Dash has a HD and SD video mode built in by Micros0ft themselves. It boots up in 480i and if you want it to switch to 480p, hold down the Left Trigger, Right Trigger, and Both Thumbsticks all at the same time, hold for a second, and release. The MS Dash will switch to 480p temporarily. Again, that's if an HD cable is detected.
It is really simple, if you don't want 480p, don't use an HD Cable. If you want 480p, plug in an HD cable and abracadabra everything is forced into 480p automatically! And nobody had to re-rar, re-upload, or re-download any applications.
I just don't think you realize just how the Force Progressive patch works. It is doing everything that you want it to. Dr. Oldschool did a great job on the patch, so I'm glad xman included it with NKPatcher11.
Also, about the compatibility, AFAIK the force progressive patch works on each and every (NTSC) version Xbox. There has never been a compatiblity issue to my knowledge, it has always worked flawlessly. The VGA patch doesn't work with v1.6 Xboxes, but the Force Progressive should work.

Alright, I'm having a problem enabling the high def settings after doing this soft mod. When i go In the msdash from my main dashboard (newest xbmc), i cannot enable the 480p/720p/1080i they're stuck on no and when i go from letterbox to widescreen the video flashes and the xbox reboots back to xbmc but the settings do not change.
After reading MANY topics on the forums I've learned it's probably due to the eeprom or shadow C being read only or something like that. I do NOT have multiboot msdash setup, in fact i was just trying to set that up from krayzie's extras and i get stuck at the "add MSdash functions" part, i copied the files over to the correct directory but I get the "batch proccess failed. The last item was:No minimum install present."
Someone had also said that I'd have to removed the softmod completely, change the settings in the msdash, then redo the softmod. But I would LIKE to be able to easily switch between the two if i take my xbox to a non-hdtv.
Basically, how can I setup my xbox to be able to easily switch between high def and normal modes after doing the softmod?
Undo the mod. Follow this tutorial:

Upon deleting all the Game Saves that you can, enabling all modes you might want to use now or in the future, and writing down your kernel info, your xbox is ready to either be modded or updated to Dashboard 5960.
When you are done, re-mod. You will not have to worry about changing between modes, 480i will enable as nessescery. From here on out, changes you make in the MS Dash accessible from Krayzie's Extras will affect the proper place and will save properly also, so you can change between Widescreen and Letterbox modes as you want. Leave 480p on all the time.
But here is the thing, the Force Progressive is actively doing the same thing as your hex edits, as it only is enabled when it detects an HDTV cable. Therefore, what you said about using the patch and forcing progressive, then wanting to play through 480i, it works perfectly.

I will have to try this, though to be honest, i'm rather glad for the hex work....not everyone uses Krayzie's and i believe it's a good idea to up versions of the hex edited apps anyway. If the Force Progressive patch truly works the way you claim, it will fix some of my personal problems on some games that can launch but do not support 480p (ChessMaster), however it probably won't have an effect on games that can't launch (I-Ninja), and so the hex edit, in the end, is still a better solution. And since the version of DVDX that has been hexed only changed 1 character (a 2 to a 0), i see it as perfectly fine to include it with Krayzie's Installer.....the change doesn't do anything that negatively affects the system, and it's what i feel the program should have been released as anyway. It works in both modes, without the need for a patch, even if the patch is included.
Point is, as good as the patch may be, i'd rather the app or game support the mode natively and automaticly as opposed to having to accept a patch to do it.

Don't bother with XBPartitioner....everything you need to make your hard drive work is included in XBoxHDM or with Krayzie's Installer, with the exception of MS Dash 5960, which you can get from Slayer's or update using Halo 2, Dead of Alive Ultimate, Jade Empire, Sid Meier's Pirates, or any other newer Live enabled game
I know I have MS Dash 5960(have Halo 2 & checked in "Info"), so can I just forgo Slayers?
Also, I thought that with HDDs larger than 256GB that you had to format with 32k clusters(XBPart)
or else any data stored beyond that will be corrupted..?

Well, if you are doing this via XBOXHDM, if you know how to extract the C drive dash files from Halo 2, be my guest. Otherwise, use slayers.
Not quite right.
it's any PARTITION larger than 256gb.....since you are using a 300GB drive, no partition you have will be bigger than 256gb (you'll have a .5, a 5, several .7s, and a 137ish...all the rest goes to G).
take care

This is a prime example of what i thought would happen with the Force ____ options. Krayzie, i'll send a beta to you next week with the changes i proposed in it.

i *BELIEVE* you can do it with 4b2-2, then 4a10. if you are softmodded at the moment, there is no need to unlock/relock the drive....the system would boot to an error msg if the drive was unlocked....that instruction was only if you were using XBOXHD, which i thought you were.
here's the thing...you are already modded...you should have a backup of your eeprom somewhere.....with that backup and a disc of XBOXHDM that includes the 5960 dash files on it in the C folder, you have everything you need to repair your box from any softmod related issue....so you could actually afford to expirement with different options in slayers without causing too much of an issue....it's after you are modded with krayzie's that you don't want to mess with slayer's anymore...it's outdated.
the point is....make sure you have a copy of 5960 on an Xboxhdm disc with your eeprom, and preferably your save game files on it. i believe you can find 5960 on the slayers disc in the All\C\ folder.

Alright, got some new things to discuss on this subject.
from the look of things, it seems krayzie's 1.1.1 may have incorporated the Force Progressive patch into the basic mod, or it's been removed....i can not find the option to "Force Progressive" anywhere, but i do remember it being in the older extras.
in either case, kung fu chaos, chessmaster, and I Ninja will not play on my setup

Ignore the above - I tried it all from the beginning again - and it's all good.
This is my first softmod - been modding the old fashioned way with chips before - and this is great! Glad I came back to see what this was all about... £70 for an Xbox with XBMC without even getting my hands dirty - surely if the public knew how easy this is to accomplish there wouldn't be many Xboxes left in the UK... I'm off to buy another (just for safekeeping)!
Good job Krayzie - it's a nice package.

Trying to install using SC but not doing great. Have all info as far as I am aware but having difficulty transferring both required saves to xbox using AR. Linux is the only one displayed and xbox only gives me option to delete. I presume I have missed something. I have tried searching but can't find the answer and the search engine makes it quite tricky.
My xbox is D 5960 and K5101. Don't know if that may be the problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.
What you need to do is select the acutal save not just the "save group" from where you are push right and the selection will then jump into the "save group" and you have the option of copying from there.
Hope it works

Well, follow the Marrige theory 1st off. if you can't for whatever reason, i'd say don't attempt....you'll only get banned.
Using Krayzie's Extras, use either Dual Live or Triple Live to gain access to the live console. That will enable you to setup/recover a live account. Make sure your version of Krayzie's Installer is updated to the latest, while you are doing this.

Im not worried about getting back into anything big, i just want custom games, so the marriage theory was of no use for me. id just like to know what kind of boot i would need to access the account, it was just with one game(halo 2) so im not having worries with it.
either way, you question has been answered already

What you need to do is select the acutal save not just the "save group" from where you are push right and the selection will then jump into the "save group" and you have the option of copying from there.
Hope it works
Sorry didn't explain myself well. The main difficulty I am having is transferring the two SC files. I am only able to display the LINUX profile and not SC2. I have tried reinstalling the downloads but cannot get it to recognise it. All that happens in the game is that it hangs.

I have now managed to get all the files across I think, but it still hangs on the checkpoint screen. Have deleted everything off my HD except for 2 saves but makes no difference. I have unrarred the files but not unzipped them which I believe to be correct. Help please.

What cables do you use to connect the xbox to the system?

I was trying to use the Action Replay to transfer the files. The plan is to do this for now and then sort out a proper network once I upgrade my PC in the next few months.
I am going try a different memory card in case it may be that but otherwise I have run out of ideas.
I made a mistake in my wording.
what kind of cables did you use to connect your XBOX to your TV/Monitor?
but, i degress. It's not the memory card. I've identified an issue using Progressive Scan/HD Cables with the exploit. I have a guess that you currently use this setup. try installing the exploit with normal A/V or SVideo cables instead.

I don't quite understand why that would make any difference. My xbox was connected with the standard issue cable into the red,yellow and white individual connections and also I have tried it in the scart socket. The tv is an LCD but not HD
Interesting.
I don't know why it makes a difference either, but i assume it has to do with UnleashX running during initial exploit. Ever since i started doing double VGA to Xbox via HD connections, i can't get thru SC past the "Checkpoints" screen.
Sounded like your problem was the same as mine.
Instead, you may just have a bad/corrupted game save. In your case, i'd follow any one of the several guides i posted in this forum over the last 2 months on what to do. Format your AR/MC, download 100% fresh versions of krayzie's Package 1.1 and his 1.1.1 update, follow the instructions for the update and try loading up the MC one at a time. Don't forget to kill off any and all old Game Saves for your chosen game as well as the old Linux game save file.
good luck

are these the files that go in the "MSDASHBOARD" folder in the extras directory (for the dual or tri boot)?
- if i do the basic instead of minimum, are the files added to this folder automatically..(this way i dont have to worry about em...?
Thank you for this...
ive done 1.0 ndure - this will be my first 1.1 on a non-modded box...

you've got some files mixed up. I think those are the files of kingroaches C partition.
If you do the retail install you won't have to put anything inside the msdashboard folder and the dual or tri boots are allready good to go.

Hey krayzie
I noticed some of the talk in the update thread. I've almost got a usuable package with the changes i made and i want to know if there's going to be an update soon so that i can get you to look over these changes and give a Yay or Nay on them.....essentially i'm asking if you have a time line.
Also, it seems as if the initial install of the exploit has issue occasionally with HD/Progressive Scan modes, but maybe it's only on certain hardware or kernel versions. do you have any input/ideas regarding this?
thanx much

@ murder of crows: No timeline. I'm extremeley busy with other stuff lately so It's not going to be soon. Also I thought the progressive issues had to do with incompatible video encoders. i don't know if this issues have been solved yet I would have to look into that.

@daggerx: yeah I meant basic install. sorry bout that
I'm not 100% sure what it has to do with. last night i had a v1 that worked perfectly getting the exploit in via progressive. i figure i'd have problems with v6 models, but my own system is a v4 and i don't REMEMBER an issue there...*shrugs*
I wonder where the hang is.....i always get stalled at the "Checkpoints" screen....so does that mean that Splinter Cell is where the problem lies, or perhaps UnleashX, or perhaps the transition between the 2
I began to think about it and wanted to try out possibly including an UnleasX.xml file in the package that had the video settings for 480P already enabled, regardless of if the system can support it or not...i know that when unleashx is run on my home system, progressive works....but if i run it elsewhere, progressive turns off automaticly....yet retains the settings when i come home. This, of course, was just braing storming, and not actually looking in the forums to see if the video encoder is what actually causes it to hang.

well the splinter cell gamesave exploit has some troubles with some non standard video cables. I don't think this is related to some video encoders having troubles with vga or progressive codes. I'm no expert on this subject though. I had some component cables for my xbox and all functions worked fine on my 1.6 system uing the force progressive option in nkpatcher

i have the 5960 files
but when i try to do - it says minimum req failed...
i didnt everything step by step and even highlighted my paper
switch the xbmc os according to the instructions
every else worked but this "5960 files" part...
please help - i have the files...
Follow any one of the guides i posted recently, starting from the end of may.
uninstall the mod, use your backup
Use a recent Live Enabled game to update to 5960...don't just "install the files"
reinstall the mod using "Basic Install"

after reading 15+ pages it only did one thing for me...
it basically showed me how intelligent and knowlegeable Krayzie and A murder of Crows really are..
but please bear with me - here is where i am
-this box was never modded prior to this...
-prior to installling the smod - i used halo 2 to update the dash
-the mod was installed - no problem
-xbmc is now the current dash - no problem
-extras was copied to e\apps - no problem
-extras is accessible from the programs link in xbmc - no problem
-i placed the 5960 files in the "msdashboard" folder in the extras via ftp
-when it checked the files under the msdash options it said "failure"
-i left the files in the msdashboard folder and i went to the multiboot files options in the extras
-i set it for multiboot xbmc\xlivedash
-it gave a warning that i couldnt do this unless the msdash option was set
- i continued...
-I need peace of mind now guys, the system runs - it had a dead thompson which i replaced with
a sammy few days ago - this system was a doorstopper for almost two years because my brothers didnt know what the heck to do with it...but thanks for the xs scene and u guys i did....thank God...
-now, when I press the power button it goes to xbmc -the best dash
and when i power up with the eject button - it sends me to a screen that is requesting me to set up a live account (im sure this is do to the fact that this box never had a live account registered on it - ever)
- should i be concerned about anything right now or is it ALL good?
im trying my level best here to be challenge specific - this way i do not waste Krayzie/Crows time or anybody else's time rather...
You are all set! thanx for actually taking the time to read back a little...it's been one of my pet peeves lately.
one thing though.....because XBMC is currently in a feature freeze while they work bugs out for 2.0, you MIGHT want to run your setup a lil differently....
you only need access to the Live console once....to set up your account....after which, it can do nothing for you, since friendslist and livechat do not function at the moment using Krayzie's NDure. I'd suggest moving XBMC back to the Apps\XBMC folder and placing UnleashX as your main dash for stability/safety's sake, and then running dual boot to launch XBMC using the eject button.
Alternately, if you'd truly prefer XBMC as a main dash (and like downloading and reconfiguring it every week), you could place UnleashX in Dashboard\AltDash and keep XBMC in Dashboard. Then you'd have XBMC load at power and UnleashX at eject....due to how messy that would make the main dash folder however, i don't suggest doing it that way.

Been an avid reader of this topic a while back and have been using both version 1 and 1.1 on two different xboxes for a year or so. just a question though, i was wondering what files point to E:\dashboard\default.xbe and E:\dashboard\alt\default.xbe? Also what program was used to create those shortcuts?
I'm trying to work out some video issues on my HD TV set and though it probably isn't the problem, wanted to test some things anyway.

Were these made with the XBE Shortcut Maker or did you create some xbe's yourself?

thanks, but what i'm trying to do isn't working.
i don't know if you remember, but i had posted a very long time ago that I saw wavy lines or squiggly lines any time my dashboard was loading through your mod when using an HD tv. everything is fine on a regular tv, just not HD. i believe this is due to nkpatcher being in 480i mode or whatever and switching to 720p etc. i replaced alt.xbe in nkpatcher which loads an alternative dash. the xbe works fine normally, but i'm trying to use xbe shortcut maker because i thought it might solve the problem. obviously it won't work unless you at least habibi sign the xbe, which i did with xbedump. altdash still won't load and gives me 21 error if it's unsigned and just a black screen if it is. i have it directing to e:\dashboard\altdash\default.xbe. i know this isn't due to your installer, but thought you might know what i could possibly do to help refine this type of setup. is there a way nkpatcher doesn't have the squiggly lines (load at 720p)? or is there a way to replace the xbe file with say another xbe through a special process?

hmm, it still has the same problem. i'm not sure why the problem only occurs when an hd pack is connected. there seems to be a step inbetween the flubber and dashboard that is not in hd mode, even with the forced progressive scan. i made sure that in the unmodded state as well that the ms video settings were set to widescreen with all the hd resoltuions enabled (which are supported by the tv). i know with a modchip this problem doesn't occur, but with this softmod it does. any guesses what the step in the middle is?

yes the settings are the same in the dual msdash and switched off mod. you could try replacing nkpacther with a bios loader pointed to your dash to see if the problem lies in nkpatcher. You have to realize though that the exploit itselfs creates a system crash itself that could cause the screen to be instable for a fraction of a second. Maybe it's inevitable. Maybe a kernel specific font could help I dunno.

yeah, kernal specific fonts i think i tried before and it didn't work. i don't know why i stopped trying to fix this a year ago, but i guess now is a good time. as for a bios loader, i thought about that as well. i just wasn't sure what to use since they are all outdated. do you have any recommendations? PBL? and could i do a bios loader with you installer still installed but with the mod switched off?
-

Post by: manturafs on July 18, 2006, 09:41:00 PM

oh wait, i think I see what you are saying. keep the ndure install, but, for testing purposes, replace alt.xbe with PBL instead of the nkpatcher. then where would i put the dashboard file or shortcut to the dashboard? is that on the real C or virtual C? i have the PBL metoo-m8plus-v1.4.1 package and from the looks of evtools (and if i remember xbtools), you can only point it to load a file off of c:, not e:\dashboard\default.xbe like your installer.
also, i can't seem to test PBL. I took the package from the usual places and created a PBL directory in APPS. Placed the boot.cgf, bios file, and default.xbe (says it is signed from the package) in the directory. when i go to run it though all i get is a black screen. my kernal is compatible as well. i have a v1.0 xbox with kernal version 4034 (and obviously the dash version required for your install). would the nkpatcher perhaps not allow it to run while in mod mode? replacing alt.xbe with the package files doesn't seem to load either. just a black screen.
P.S. just wanted to also thank you again for a great job you've done on this installer and all the help. like i mentioned before, i've been using this on two xbox's wtih no problems besides this flicker when connected with an HD pack. hopefully we can figure this out, but i love what you've done. thanks!

and what did you think of my other test method of replacing alt.xbe?

I have installed the latest Krayzie Ndure 1.1.1 I believe onto 2 xboxes... When I try to transfer stuff from one to another via ftp through a router, or even xbox to xbox via x-over cable, it does not work. One of the xboxes ftp works and the other just loses the ftp connection. They are different IPs, but I think that since they are both using the same virtual eeprom from the ndure installer, that they both have the same MAC address on the NIC and they are interfearing with each other... is there a way disable one of the virtual eeproms so that I could link the two boxes together to transfer files? or a way to change the virtual one to a real eeprom that will work... I'm almost positive that since they are both using the same softmod with the same virtual eeprom that this is the issue...
Thanks in advance!

copy the eeprom off that system ASAP. your hard drive is failing, and you'd much rather install a new hard drive via XBOXHDM than via a mod chip.

if you can get them, sure. i figure that with the clicking hard drive problem, you PROBABLY would be better off installing a stock C 5960 to a new hard drive, lock it to the eeprom, and remod from scratch, than you would be if you tried to copy the files off a failing drive, which MIGHT corrupt some of those files. Keep in mind that you will end up copying only the Shadow C drive unless you enter the box into Professional Mode first.

Ok, I'm in the extras menu now. I've been looking everywhere for information on what does what. The readme.txt doesn't tell me very much, it just skips over the dual/triple boots.
Like I stated above, I'm trying to get on Live with the softmod remaining installed. With the dual boot with ms dash be able to do that and would I still be able to generate gamertags? Or would I have to go with the dual boot with Livedash?
I've been searchingfor a while now...and it would help if the search feature would work here...
You cold boot the system each time you want to get on live. you do NOT need the dual boot feature to do this. Use Dual Boot LiveDash to create gamertags.

It will take you real eeprom, copy it, and delete your old virtual eeprom, replacing it with the new one.
as long as your real eeprom is legit and good, you will be fine...no more MAC address errors.
I've done some delving into this....i personally prefer doing 2 systems exactly the same...getting both eeproms, then choosing one system to be "master" and the other to be "Clone".
Mod both machines using my guide in this thread (eventually i'll have a full guide done, just too busy at the moment).
when both systems are modded, copy off both eeproms and then install ConfigMagic. unlock Clone's Hard drive and carefully apply Master's eeprom to Clone, then relock CLone's Hard drive. Repeat to make certain that the eeprom change took.
What you should have at this point are 2 systems with the exact same "Real" eeprom, but different virtual eeproms. the virtual eeproms will allow you to use the systems in modded mode on a network, but the real eeproms will allow the hard drives between the systems to be interchangeable. Do not use xbox live with the Clone system as the hard drive serial number will not match with the master's hard drive SN.
take care

Is there a way to ever get back the original krayzie virtual eeprom? is there a reason to even want it? What is the advantage of making your original eeprom virtual? I thought the whole reason you had one was to protect your original from getting banned...
There is no such thing as "original krayzie virtual eeprom"
when you mod your system via Krayzie's installer, a copy of YOUR ORIGINAL EEPROM is made at the very start.
this COPY of YOUR ORIGINAL EEPROM becomes known as your Virtual Eeprom.
somewhere along the line, your eeprom's settings or your eeprom itself was changed.
the idea behind the virtual eeprom was to protect your real eeprom from changes you'd make with apps, such as using different/unsupported video modes (PAL on NTSC, etc). it has NOTHING to do with getting banned on XBL or anything like that. it's to make sure your original eeprom doesn't get corrupted
Yeah i can get em . The hard drive clicking noise dont happen till about 5 hours play time on the xbox. When u unplug the box for awhiles its fine . to get a stock c5960 its in the backups folder in the e folder right ? with the eeprom ?
In almost all cases, i would start completely fresh.
1. Get your eeprom backed up
2. Get your Game Saves (E:\TDATA, E:\UDATA) backed up
3. Get your dashboard settings backed up (the xml or ini file, depending on what you have)
I personally use Slayer's to copy dash 5960 to my PC and start building my XBoxHD disc from there.
using a 100% fresh setup helps to ensure there is less chance of issues, and allows people to help you more easily.
this, of course, is just a suggestion. if you want, you CAN use your original C drive and E drive. remember to go into Professional Mode to do it, however, so you aren't copying your Shadow C.
On another matter, i just wanted to apologize for not getting these answered sooner....it seems i'm not recieving email notices from this thread anymore.

So back to my issue with having 2 krayzie modded boxes on the same network... how can updating my virtual eeprom do anything different if it was done already when I modded my system?
depends on how you modded your system.
Krayzie's installer is used via the memory cards. If you used XBoxHDM to mod your box, and used the files off one box (the C and E drives) onto the other, then you most likely have the virtual eeprom from one box being used on the other, causing both to have the same mac address.
i have to assume that this is what's going on, since i can't think of any other way (maybe configmagic?) that you would have teh same mac addy on 2 different systems.
As long as your network is assigning DHCP, your problem is the virtual eeprom. to verify, run Krayzie's Extras, then run the 2nd "Launch Extras" option, then run Professional Mode. try to see if you can get both boxes on the network then. My guess is that you will. otherwise, something else is going on.
either way, i'd first try the virtual eeprom, and after i'd remod the box using the installer only

the update virtual eeprom option renews the virtual eeprom using the actual eeprom from that machine.

Right. I was suggesting that, should the update virtual not work, he reinstall the entire mod.
I only know 3 ways to get matching mac addresses on 2 different xbox systems:
A - Mod Box 1, go pro mod, copy C and E from Box 1 into XBoxHDM, use it to pre-mod Box 2
B - Use ConfigMagic to flash Box 1's eeprom to box 2
C - By the grace of fate, he got xbox systems with the same mac addy within the eeprom.
I suspect (but have nothing save for my own expirence to base this on) that he used method A to mod Box 2. That being the case, i feel he should
1 - Update Virtual Eeprom
if that fails, he should then do
2 - Factory restore, then remod using game save method

Hey krazie, I have an update and a question for you.
Update: I modded my new xbox with your installer and I now coldboot EVERY retail game and haven't been banned. I'd like to appologize again for my paranoid behavior.
Question: I replaced unleash-x with xbmc as my default dashboard. I know it's a silly question but will this effect in any way my ability to play on live? I know the answer before I ask the question I know. Dashboards are not bios dependant. However, I'm not going to pretend that I know everything there is to know and blame you for another stupid mistake that I, myself made.
Am I safe?

there is no relationship between playing live and whatever dash you have on your xbox. The exploit is completely bypassed when coldbooting retail discs.

Hello, I am noobish to Softmod'ing. My xbox was softmod'ed with Krazie's MA 2.8, and I since then used XBoxHDM 1.9 to upgrade to a 20GB HDD, and used Krazie's MA 2.8 to re-softmod the 20GB.
Is there any reason to upgrade to Krazie's NDure 1.1.1 ?

Fantastic Mod - thanks Krayzie. Especially liked the explanation/confirmation screens - very helpful and reassuring.
I have one question:
Would you be able to post a list of the files installed on the REAL CDrive after running the Mod?
I had an SID installation previously, which was a pain to remove, and I'd like to be certain that there are no leftover bits kicking around on the real Cdrive.
A list of folders and files that should be present in the root after a install of v1.1.1 onto a retail box would be great...
Thanks

Krayzie i was wondering if youve had any problems loading trainers from your 1.1 Ndure installer? I cannot get them to load (although the loading process appears to complete fine) See my post (XBMC forum) here --> http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=542573
Basically,
Im using your Ndure 1.1, I replaced UnleashX with XBMC and i used the XBMC feature context menu that will find and update your trainers and i have my games installed on the hard drive. Everything else about your exploit works fine, and honestly, i dont even know if this is related to your exploit at all..
Ive looked on several different forums, ive posted in the XBMC forums to no avail. As a last resort i thought i would try an answer straight from the horses mouth.
Are there any steps i can do to correct this? Has something been corrupted somewhere. As i said, the whole trainer process seems to complete just fine. Ive tried the maxconsole forums, and many more searching for the answer. But im at a loss. I'd like to think ive cleared n00b status but if there is something im missing, please let me know!

This would have nothing to do with krayzie's installer.
check your version of XBMC. I know that the last GasGiver version from april had trainers built in from that time period.
Id say, go back to using UnleashX as a dash and run XBMC as an app. XBMC team has stated that their program is not meant to be a dashboard, and that the running of code (aka Apps, emulators, etc) was "Tacked on" as an afterthought.
make notes of your settings, scripts, etc in XBMC, delete all versions of the game save data for XBMC, remove XBMC entirely, Clear your cache, get the latest T3CH version, and reinstall
and while you are doing this maintenence, try to update to krayzie's 1.1.1

I had just updated to the 8-22-06 T3CH release, i was on a BlingBling release (i think it was 08-06-06) and i was having the same problem with the trainers. I just barely updated to the new T3CH release. This is how i updated: Backed Up E:/Dashboard/UserData to pc, Deleted E:/Dashboard on XBOX, Copied new T3CH XBMC to E:/Dashboard on XBOX, Copied from pc my backed up E:/Dashboard/UserData
I believe this is the correct procedure (based on my reading) for upgrading. I am just not really a fan of the UnleashX dash.. Perhaps i should copy the original UserData from the T3CH release and overwrite my previous directory?
It seems that others have gotten these trainers to work in XBMC, and as i stated in my other post - Ive even tried using Team Xored's Mini Launcher from Within XBMC and tried loading the trainers that way.. It does the same thing, light turns green then orange (presumably indicating a successful loading of the trainer) and then the game comes on (game copied to HD) and the trainers dont work?!
Any other ideas? Im not at my box ATM but i will try the UnleashX when i get home and see if that gets the job done

Don't try updating. Make *NOTE* of your settings, and start 100% fresh. keep the backup of your settings safe, but don't use it at first...just re-create your settings from scratch and delete and re-install EVERYTHING and see what it does for you. From what i understand, T3CH and Bling are different builds, by different people at different times, so settings from one may not work with the other, and vice versa. Also, the builds may be different from each other in other ways....one may use settings that the other doesn't have, etc, as i found when i updated from GasGiver 2006-04-19 to T3CH 2006-07-24
Always best to start 100% fresh with XBMC, unless you are using the same person's build every time. Because of this, and the constant updating, it is MHO that XBMC is not up to being a dashboard yet. I like how customizable UnleashX is personally, as well as a lot of it's features...it's a solid dashboard and does what it needs to....not perfect, but at least it's stable

1. Use your retail copy of a newer live enabled game. Halo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Dead or Alive Ultimate all work for me
2. Xbox Live is enabled via coldboot. Place your ORIGINAL Live enabled game in the tray, turn off the power, turn it back on via the small button. You must already have a live account, and you must only use original game discs.
3. Using the Krayzie Installer Package for your chosen exploit disc, unrar/unzip the package and find the Rescue Disc folder. Follow the instructions to make a properly working rescue disc. Alternately, you can just completely remove the softmod via the Exploited Game Save already found on your drive.
4. When starting over, be sure to use Krayzie's 1.1.1.
To Krayzie
----------
I've begun work on the updated version of your installer:
Changes since Krayzie's 1.1
Updated mod core to 1.1.1 base
Updated/corrected spelling and grammar errors. Clarified language
Renamed "Basic Installation" to "Full Installation"
Changed positions of dash choices so UnleashX was the default
Still to do:
Update UnleashX xbe file to latest version
Update DVDX xbe file to hex edited auto progressive scan version
Rename/reorder the "Extras" menu to differenciate between Extras and Advanced Extras.
Beta Test the install

Your question doesn't make any sense.
krayzie never uploaded 1.1.1. you can only get it (for now) by combining 1.1 (usual places) with the 1.1.1 update (krayzie's Signature)
if you open the package and look at the contents you will be able to READ what version you have.
Do yourself, and me, a favor....go back about 10 pages or so and look at my responses to everyone else. your questions have probably been answered in this thread already.
otherwise, start 100% completely over and follow my instructions, which i've given you twice already.
Get Package (1.1)
Update package (1.1.1)
Update dashboard to 5960 via Halo 2, Jade Empire, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Sid Meier's Pirates, or other newer live enabled game
Install Save(s)
Exploit game
backup eeprom
copy eeprom to PC via FTP
Copy C Drive to PC via FTP
Copy E Drive to PC via FTP
Finish mod
Open package and use Rescue Disc and Extras Disc readmes to setup discs
use qwix to make ISO
use Alcohol/nero to burn

I looked at the readme that came with the version i have and it says version 1.0 and there are some files on the update mentioned that I should have and i can't find. In my files there is a folder named rescue disk with the files "bios, boot.cfg, config, default.xbe, and ux.xbe" in it. So do I just need to create a e drive folder, a c drive folder, and put the listed files in the readme in them by ftping the files over to by computer and burn a disk with a certain file from my rescue disk with it. if so can someone tell me exactly what to do?

hello!! i have some questions for those ndure experts
1) Will the 1.1 version install an Unleashx0.39.0222A dashboard? If not, how or where in the package can I put the files in order to install the softmod with an updated dashboard. Same thing with the other dashboard options.
2)What is this 1.1.1 update and where can I get it? (OK, DONE BUT NOT SURE WHAT IT UPDATES)
3)I'm having compatiblity issues with newer games, is this somethin related to the softmod, dashboard or nkpatcher version?
4) The 1.1.1 update updates the nkpatcher in anyway so it could be mor compatible with newer games?
5)I read somewhere that evox trainers are not the same as unleashx trainers... is this true? (i know is not softmod related but if you know the answer..well thanks)
6)How exactly can i dualboot or tripleboot in order to have evox,unleash and Live enabled MSdash (if this is posible)
Thanks in advance

Hey brodbander
You can update to the latest UX upon completion of the install, if you are hooked into the net. I'm doing a version of the package with updated xbe files, it will be about another 2 weeeks or so before i'll release it to beta though.
2)What is this 1.1.1 update and where can I get it?
On the main page, one can see krayzie's update stickied....otherwise, just click the link in krayzie's sig, or wait for my release.
3)I'm having compatiblity issues with newer games, is this somethin related to the softmod, dashboard or nkpatcher version?
Any compatibility issues you have *probably* have nothing to do with EITHER the mod/nkpatcher OR the dash. Depending on the issue, it is more likely that you have a problem with the method used for that game. This assumes you are attempting to use your legal backup off the hard drive or your own optical media.
4) The 1.1.1 update updates the nkpatcher in anyway so it could be mor compatible with newer games?
Which games are you talking about anyway? i've not run into a single problem yet. Do you have the same problem running the original game in modded mode?
5)I read somewhere that evox trainers are not the same as unleashx trainers... is this true? (i know is not softmod related but if you know the answer..well thanks)
I haven't seen UX trainers. I don't use Evox as i feel it's outdated. XBMC has trainers if you REALLY need them.
6)How exactly can i dualboot or tripleboot in order to have evox,unleash and Live enabled MSdash (if this is posible)
You can dualboot either:
UX and Live Dash
UX and MS Dash
UX and AltDash (Evox, AvaLaunch, etc)
UX and XBMC
You can replace UX with Evox in all those situations. You can also dual boot to pretty much any xbe...just place it in the proper folder, and KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE TRYING THIS
Your main dash goes in E:\Dashboard
Your 2ndary dash goes in E:\Dashboard\AltDash
XBMC goes in E:\Apps\XBMC
when you choose your boot options in the exploited game save (after install is complete), the mod will look launch any dash you have in E:\Dashboard with the power button, and AltDash or XBMC (in that order) upon hitting Eject.
You can also choose to dualboot up with EITHER the M$Dash or with the Live Account Management Dash. From what i understand right now, there is no "Live Enabled M$Dash" (no friends list, no voice chat).
Triple boot works exactly the same, with the exception that hitting Eject pushes out the tray, and then a new boot option happens with any habibi signed disc....no disc? it boots up to the dual boot option you selected.

hey, A Murder of Crows, i use to live in the hillsboro/beaverton area. cool. i LOVE oregon. i just felt at home there. much better than the northeast where i grew up. is it raining yet? have fun with that! anyway, i hope im in the right section. i think i am. well, im thinking of trying out gamesave modding, since i have a a laptop only. i just need to find an action replay somewhere down here in the third world. ill read the board here in a bit to see what i can find. but in the meantime, some quesions:
i have a 1.6 box with, i believe, the latest dash- if this makes any difference at all.
1. should i use ndure 1.1? is that all?
2. should i use a splinter cell installer? is this the most compatible?
3. if i cant find an action replay, can i still rig up a usb thing-a-ma-jig? i read somewhere that i
cant? if so, what do i use for tool, etc.
4. can i rebuild a drive this way? without opening up the xbox or pc?
reason why i ask these quesions is because i read different opinions and so forth on softmods. i also read about people have problems/conflicts, etc, depending on what paths they take.
thanks.

Alright, I modded my friends xbox, but then decided to delete the softmod and do it at school, as part of my computer project (it was on xbox linux). But I didn't realize that doing so might mess it up if I try a full install after doing so. Even though I deleted all the files, I was pretty paranoid because I didn't wanna mess up his xbox. So I decided to do the minimum install, but I need to know one thing. What are the 5960 dashboard files that I need for the extras in order to put the MS dash back on it? I have a softmodded one that I can FTP into, I also downloaded Slayers EvoX installer 2.7 disk because I was told I could get them from it, but I need to know what files/folders I need to put in the MS DASHBOARD folder on the extras disk.
Thanks in advance, I read through about 10 pages back and couldn't find it, and the search function the site didn't turn up anything either, so I apologize if this has been asked before.

delete the save game file from all memory cards and your xbox. redownload the official exploit package for your chosen game from The Usual Place, and no other. Update to ver 1.1.1 via krayzie's link. Make sure you transfer it properly (via action replay, or FTP, or whatever method you have).
make sure all other unneeded saves are gone, and that you have enabled all modes that you can prior to starting the game.
Dashboard 5960 can be more easily found via Halo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Dead or Alive: Ultimate. Simply run the game and try to do a Live game, making sure you do NOT have the network cable plugged in.
your dashboard will update to 5960.
now you can do the full install. during the backup stage, on E:\Backups you will find the original dashboard in a folder called Cdrive. that is 5960 also. make a copy of that and you are good.
i haven't disected the new slayer's yet, but you SHOULD be able to put the disc in a modded box and browse around in the files...look for the keyword of RETAIL C, and you will probably find 5960 there also.

my friend softmodded my xbox a month ago but i got an hdtv and found out the mod was messing with my hi-res settings. someone mentioned in a thread to scrap the mod then reinstall it after messing with the settings but i had no idea how to do this. it took me a couple nights to read through the forums to finally get the courage to start tinkering with some things. after a few hours (8 or so) of messing around with every possible file in the C and E drives I decided to try this installer. within 5 min, i had everything set up. this installer is sick and if a noob like me who had NO previous experience with this stuff can end up with an xbox working perfectly after the softmod, then ANYONE can do it. i love this thing and all the extras that came along with it (rescue disc saved my a$$ during all the tinkering). amazing.

I'm sorry if this has been covered before; I've read about 40 pages here and the full content of many other posts. I'm brand new and I've been reading and searching for days. I'm having the most basic problem; I can't save the installer to my xbox HD. I downloaded the Ndure_NTSC Splinter Cell v1.1 to my PC. I then copied the entire RAR to my AR memory card. The tutorial said it needs to be done in two parts because the file is too big but it let me copy the whole thing. I tried opening the file on my PC and just copying the uload.zip files but AR wouldn't let me.
Assuming I did that correctly, it showed "Linux Installer" on the card. I then plugged it into my controller, turned on the xbox, went to memory and selected the controller. It showed the file but the only option was to delete, there was no copy option.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

Well; sorry for the multiple posts. Finally got it figured out. Thanks for the awesome tutorial(s) and software. Let me know if there is a donation site.
Lastly, what I'm really interested in doing is streaming files from my PC to show video and play audio through my downstairs system. My questions are:
Do I need XBMC to do this?
If so, do I install this instead of Unleash? How?
Would it be better to try to use your muli-dash extra?
If I don't need XBMC and it works through Unleash, can you point me to some links for this?
Thanks much!

How can I install a new version of nkpatcher? Do I need to be careful of anything in the configuration- and does the one installed by Krazie's installer use a runtime config (and where is it?). I want to run NKPatcher11_U03_vga7 and I've got the feeling I'll mess something up and kill my xbox. Also- should the virtual eeprom feature be enabled?

Anyway, just figured out you can force RGB with Krayzie's Extras. I didn't realize that choosing "green LED" or whatever under "further customize" lets you then go and set the video and fan settings. I only figured it out after perusing the config.xml (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif)

Just wanna give a kudos to Krayzie and others.
I downloaded the Splinter Cell NTSC exploit from xbins, got the update package from krayzie's link, repacked the udata files, followed Joshatdot's tutorial, to get the files on a *new* Ridata 128mb usb stick i picked up on ebay for $5 (shipping included)
Then I used my controller-port-to-female-usb adapter from Amazon for $6.50 (shipping included) to load it on the HD. Splinter cell from gamestop was $2.99. Actually $2.69 cuz it didnt have the artwork on the case)
Followed this tut (thanks AzzidReign) and i was up and running in a few minutes.
Emulators and homebrew games were very easy to FTP over to the E:\emulators\ and \game folders. I don't recommend auto installers even if u r a n00b.
Thanks to all who made modding so easy. $15 + 20 min to read instructions + 10 min to complete the process.

I would not suggest attempting to run a new version of NKPatcher over Krayzie's current installer. If you are that far advanced, check out Kingroach's thread on NDure related stuff....i'm sure you'll get all the help you need there.
or, hang out a bit longer ;-)
as for the Extras, i may release a slightly more clear version of them shortly, to hold people over, as well as the 1.1.2 AMOC update i did to the installer a few months back. if it gets enough support, that is

I wonder if someone can help me?
I have just softmodded a Crystal Xbox (V1.6b I think). Everything went fine using Krayzie's Ndure 1.1.1. I did the eeprom backup then basic install. I have since been trying to find this eeprom.bin file to store on my PC but cannot find it on the Xbox. The softmod said it would be stored in E:\Backups\eeprom\backup\eeprom.bin. I do not seem to have a E:\Backup folder when browsing the Xbox over FTP. I have also checked C: drive but that too has no Backup folder. Where could this file be? I am not intending to upgrade the harddisk, but just want to keep a copy for backup purposes.
Could someone please help? Thanks in advance.

I have tried 3 FTP programs, FireFTP, FlashFXP and IE. I can not see the backup folder from these FTP programs, though I can see the folder if I use the File Explorer in UnleashX.
Also though I do not know if this is related, whenever I FTP an application over to the E:\Apps folder, the program is copied across and is know listed in the Applications in UnleashX upons reboot, but always crashes the system when trying to run any FTP'd apps. The apps installed from CASH v1.1 work fine though. What could be causing this.
I'd be much appreciated for any help.

Hi,
What is the latest NDURE Version? I had downloaded a version that I thought said 2.0. In the readme within the rar, it states "Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.0".
I would like to upgrade this, but I want to verify the current version number. I saw that you have a 1.1.1 updater, but it appears I have to have 1.1 installed.
I do have 1.0 and XBMC installed and working, however I am having problems with HD resolutions (grainy menus and videos in HD rez).
I see that there is a CASH 1.1 that appears will upgrade to NDURE 1.1... is this correct?
Basically, what is the current version and where is it available (if you can use the link in the forum)?

Yep, that's what did it. It worked fine with the standard RCA cables.
Thanks.
I am curious why the HD Pack would make a difference?
I too have an original v1 xbox with the HD pack. When I installed NDURE (1.0 it looks like) I had the xbox connected to a SD TV with the standard A/V cables and of course had no problems with the install. After I installed NDURE and XBMC 2.01 I switch to one of my HD LCD's displays using the M$ HD Pack. When in HD resolutions, the quality is not what it should be, it is like it is not scaling the fonts/graphics/video right in 720p - fuzzy, blurry whatever... And yes I did go the the M$ Dash and set it for Widescreen and all HD resolutions (to yes)....
I am wondering if this is some how related to my problem (or maybe virtual eeprom) since I installed NDURE when I had the xbox set to a SD display.
does it have strange video cables/settings?
oops, forgot to add this quote to my last reply...

The exploit and video should work fine with hd resoulitions and cables. The quote you are referring to is because the Splinter cell exploit itself which is needed to get the Ndure exploit installed can hang/load to a black screen with some of the third party hd cables. Once it's installed it shouldn't be an issue.
The current latest version is 1.1.1 which is 1.1 plus and ad on upgrader which makes ot 1.1.1
2.0 is not out there are however some packages out there labeled 2.0 but that is faulty and I don't now the morons who did that.
I recommend getting your xbox software on xbins like anyone else simce it's one of the few reliable sources out there.

Thanks for clearing that up.. I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something, though I thought 1.1.1 was the latest after reading this forum. Can I use your 1.1.1 updater to update my 1.0 install or do I need to upgrade to 1.1 first (unless I use CASH 1.1)....?
I'm going to move my xbox to another room with another hd lcd and try new cables. Something is not right, my display is showing a 720p (or 1080i if I set this) signal from my xbox (1.0 version), but the menus and videos are not clear (even DVD). I also loaded NDURE (1.0) from the MA Gamesave and that menu looks terrible as well at 720p (I double checked the settings there too).
I think I will post a pic of the NDURE Menu eventually... further testing is needed now though...

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but anyhoo...
I have a modded (Xcecuter 3) xbox and an unmodded crystal xbox.
My question is can I softmod the crystal xbox by changing drives and running some tool or script or do I have to follow the already well documented savegame method (I don't currently have one of the needed games) ?
My guess will be no because I think the only way to back up the EEPROM from the crystal xbox will be via a savegame exploit.

I'm a totally newbie, trying to softmod my new xbox and need your help - I'm stuck from the very beginning.
Here is my situation.
I copied the MA savefile (Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.1 I got from THE reliable source myself) to my xbox hd. I ran MA and selected 'Run Linux' as my profile.
Then the game asks what mission to choose without any list of missions.
I just clicked 'A and screen started flickering for ever without doing nothing.
After waiting for 20 minutes, I turned off and re-on the box and found nothing changes (seemingly) - e.g., game works fine and original dash comes up... but not modded. I tried several times and same things happened.
What's worng with this situation? What should I do? Please guide me... Thanks in advance.
(FYI, my kernel version is 5838 and dash version is 5960.)

I am wondering if this is some how related to my problem (or maybe virtual eeprom) since I installed NDURE when I had the xbox set to a SD display.
at this point, i would suggest a re-mod
Get a fresh copy of the 1.1 installer.
upgrade to 1.1.1
Wipe out the old mod
delete the old game saves
install the new game saves
make 100% sure dash is clean 5960
delete any and all unnessecary game save data and sound tracks
Set your time, region, language
Using the HD pack and M$ dash, enable all video modes compatible with your monitor (i enable all in mods, and then set UnleashX to not display ones i do not want it using).
Remember that some of the exploits MAY have issues with 720p. I found that splinter cell does not like 720p enabled by itself in the dash, and doesn't like 720p and 480p enabled at the same time....eith just 480p or all 3 enabled are the only ways to go.
Hold down both triggers and "Click" both thumbsticks to enable 480p in M$ dash. Compare between 480i and 480p to make sure....text should be much more crisp and sharp.
While doing all this, set up your audio also. Again, i enable everything, and change settings as needed elsewhere.
This should get you petty well set the way i do things as a base point.

A Murder of Crows and maybe Krayzie a little too
I'm not necessarily a noob at soft modding but I certainly have never done any advanced work.
I just spent about 8+ hours reading through all 98 pages of this thread in the hopes of finding an answer to my question. I may have skimmed in some places but I'm confident the answer to my question was not directly answered already. I have definitely learned a lot, but the only mention of anything close to what I'm interested in is in the following discussion between the two of you.
So....the default.xbe that is used as the first menu in the installer isn't UnleashX? Same for the Extras? I was going to go thru the whole package and use the newest UnleashX version, if for no other reason than because it was slightly smaller.
@A Murder of Crows: there is only one unleashx inside each folder (gamesave installer, Extras and Rescue disc. Within those folder various parts and xml's are copied/renamed to make the menu look different throughout and after the installation.
For reference these quotes are taken from a discussion that started in post 1111 on page 75 if you want to go back and jog your memories.
With that said, now I'll get to my question. Did you ever succeed in getting the most current version of UnleashX into the installer? If so may I ask how? I am mostly interested in doing to better understanding the inner workings of the package and to gain some experience working inside these files. Was it as simple as replacing all instances of the related files with the updated ones?
This leads to my major question which is for both A Murder of Crows and Krayzie. Is it possible to replace the dashboards located in the installer for ones of my choosing? I realize since the package is written in UnleashX scripts it would be difficult to replace that one, but what about replacing Evolution X, maybe with Avalaunch or XBMC 2.0? I guess the biggest thing is that I assume all the Dashboard files are easily located within the file structure of the package itself and not tucked away in some executable that would require some sort of decompiling or anything, is that true?
On a lighter note I have a couple of other questions I couldn't find a reference too.
Will this work on all Xbox versions?
Can I play backup games on Xbox live?
And @A Murder of Crows, I'm having trouble getting my mod to work with my version 0.9456 Xbox and 18TB HDD can you post that tutorial of yours on how to do it for the 1,000,000th time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thanks in advance for all the help guys
IT should also be obvious by now that the answers to the last three questions are really not required.

Yes, i did. seek ye Krayzie's NDure 1.1.1 AMOC edition, beta 1. Only a handful ever got it, but it does have the last version of UnleashX available....this isn't really a good thing, though, as there were a LOT of oddball bugs i was finding...i myself am testing out the version BEFORE the last to see if it any more stable...so far, i've found only one key combo that crashes it...but with work on UX seeming to be over, i doubt anyone will ever get the fixes.
Evox is not replaceable in the 1.X series as it is what is used to make a backup of your eeprom. However, you CAN follow the instructions in the 1.1.X packages to make an extras disc and within the extras, install your own emulators.
the easy answer is this: No, you can't replace them in the installer, except with newer versions that are still compatible with the same function calls/scripting, not only because they are needed, but also because, in the case of XBMC, they are too big to fit on a memory card/action replay.
On a lighter note I have a couple of other questions I couldn't find a reference too.
Will this work on all Xbox versions?
Yes, though occasionally you may find that you will need to reformat the hard drive to make things work 100% correctly...generally a problem that has happened BEFORE the mod was installed
Can I play backup games on Xbox live?
i'll save you the trip to the Online forums this one time.......Is it possible? probably, but not with this mod. It is not condoned on any level, however, and if you get banned, its your own fault.
And @A Murder of Crows, I'm having trouble getting my mod to work with my version 0.9456 Xbox and 18TB HDD can you post that tutorial of yours on how to do it for the 1,000,000th time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
No problem.
Take your xbox in both hands. slam said xbox against your forehead. repeat until the xbox glows with unearthly light when you look at it. Your xbox, and probably your forehead, are now considered modded.
I honestly answered the first 2 questions because i feel it is pretty legit...there have been a lot of questions regarding versions.
the 2nd answer about the backups is also somewhat valid in the light of the samsung firmware mods.
the last, well, now you are being silly.
take care

So would you say the version of UnleashX on the installer is the best choice as far as options, compatability and stability go? What is the key combo that crashes it so I can predict how much it would affect games played on it?
You must answer this question to often if you took me seriously enough to answer it here.
Now I was feeling pretty bad about asking the questions after seeing you answer the second one.

This last answer though was the cat's ass. It made the whole post worth it. At this point I laughed so hard I thought I might fall off my chair. There's good tutorials and then there are tutorials that even absolute noobs could follow. This one you wrote for me falls into the latter category.
Hope it made your day too. I had hoped you'd pick up on the joke when I wrote:

It won't affect games at all....i have seen UnleashX crash when you start the skins menu and then hit the BACK button before the skins list has completely loaded.

Hi all my problems can be best detailed by checking this link:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?sho...81073&st=45
Anyway, while installing a new 750gig hard drive in my box I learned I needed to upgrade my dash to 5960, which I did and that I needed to use nkpatcher .67
I installed Krayzie's for just this reason. Mind you the box was already modded using SIDs. I installed Krayzie's and it took, I turned on the box, booted up UnleashX and for some reason it won't see the G: drive and the F: drive is only showing 120g (or so).
Am I getting this problem because it was modded beforehand?
I tried redoing it but with installing Evox this time (which of course didn't work) but I noticed in Evox it said "Bios Unknown" at the top of the scrn. Could this be the reason I'm having trouble?
Thanks in advance if anyone can lend a hand.

Have you actually enabled the G drive in UnleashX's settings? It defaults to disabled.

No. EvoX just doesn't have a checksum for the nkpatcher-patched retail bios.

ive just this second had to do this, you need to use xbpartitioner to partition and format the G drive through xbmc

One extra thing to note (probably not directly related to your problem) is that XBMC by default is configured to autodetect the presence of the F and G drives, and its autodetection relies on there actually being something on the drive. If you just formatted G and there's no files/folders on it, XBMC will refuse to believe that it exists - you need to create a folder/file using some other dash first.
Just a useful tip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

all the problems you were having were based on using SID first. next time you want to do a new install, return the C drive to stock first.

ok, so i did the chipping years before and i spent the past weekend doing the softmodding (diff xbox) and exploring all that is available. first off THANK YOU to all the folks who work on this and answer questions, it is a big deal to all of us.
Now onto MY question:
I did the splinter cell exploit to install Krayzie's latest. I then did my initial backup and saved all that stuff (c drive and eeprom) then I started to tinker... and XBMC does not share well with macs, which I was disappointed with. anyway...
after messing around for a few hours, i wanted to see if I truly could "go back" to standard xbox mode and play my live games. I went into Krayzie's and chose "uninstall softmod". And then my adventure began...
I got the dreaded "error 21" and this reminded me of my modchip times, and this was not good. so i then somehow FTPd and got the thing back running the way it "WAS" before I tried to uninstall the softmod. However, to do this, I could NOT do a standard install, I had to do a MINIMAL install from krayzie's. As I have learned, because I did a minimal install, i CANNOT do the dual boot thing that I have on the EXTRAS folder which I copied over.
I would LIKE to have one xbox with a bigger HD that I can also get on xbox Live, WITH my A/V kit... if this is possible, I will do what it takes to make it happen. However, I would first like to get THIS box with its standard drive with a full install and be able to do a dual boot so I can get into xbox live and play games with my buddies. I just updated my live subscription in November, so I have some time left.
I am willing to PAY (even paypal) someone to walk me through the steps I need to do in order to get from A to B. I see this as worthwhile consultant fee, and those with knowledge should be paid for it.
If there is ANYONE that wishes to walk me through this (Krayzie or some other senior member) please contact me at bcasey1 :at: hotmail :dot: com and we can work something out. I have access in my place to 2 pcs 2 macs and they are all networked wirelessley through the same router.
I want to help XBMC be THE way to go!

Shouldn't be too hard to make a samba server run on a mac. did you check here?

your first mistake. if you had read up a bit, you would have seen that all you need to do with Krayzie's is cold boot your original game. Though there have been some strange bannings lately. Krayzie and i are looking in to it as we find time, which isn't often. More info can be found in the Online Gaming forums.

correct. you must do a full install to utilize all the features of the extra modes. Minimal is just to get modded.

1) to get on live with the larger hard drive, you will need a new virgin eeprom, a virgin hard drive, and a clean gamertag.
2) to get your box running properly, you need to return your box to stock. i suggest using slayers if you haven't made a rescue/restore disc. after that, update the dash to 5960, and reinstall the mod using the full/basic install.
3) you DON'T NEED TO HAVE DUAL BOOT TO GET ON LIVE. read up a bit, and you'll see you simply need to cold boot the disc.

i've contacted you to attempt to help you out. to prepare, restore your xbox to stock, get fresh copies of the saves, update it, and put the exploit saves on the box. go into the M$ dash and set all your settings properly, including the different video modes. delete any un-needed save games from the memory manager, and try to get rid of any soundtracks you don't need.
i'll wait to hear from you for a couple of hours today, but i'm doing a rebuild on my PC soon, so get back asap.

whatever bios you have on your stock xbox. NDure uses NKPatcher to patch the retail bios in memory.
using xbpartitioner in combination/after XboxHDMaker, you can theoretically use any size hard drive available that has the right interface and is able to be locked. you just have to use the right cluster size.

I've been out of the scene for a long long time, I had to have the person I taught to mod do this for me...
One big question that answers many small ones:
How can I change the BIOS so that I could change the dashboard boot order, LBA48 support, etc... XBtool doesn't work with the BIOS I found in the UDATA,
Is this kind of customization possible with this exploit?

you missed what i said about a post or 2 ago. the bios that is loaded is the RETAIL bios. it is patched with NKPatcher in RAM. you can't use XBTool for this. this is krayzie's version of the NDure installer, made to be completely easy for the n00b. with NDure, you make all your choices in the NDure package prior to installing the mod.
with Krayzie's installer, the dashboard boot order is as follows if you have multiboot enabled:
E:\Dashboard\Default.xbe
E:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
E:\Dashboard\AltDash\default.xbe
LBA48 is enabled. you have a choice between F gets all and F gets 127, G gets rest.

Is there any way to change any of that? (while still using this mod as is?)

Depends on what you mean by change. NKPatcher's job is to patch the retail bios. how it patches it is decided by the settings you select prior to compiling the mod. If you are using Krayzie's, there are several presets already selected for you. if you don't want to use Krayzie's, jump ship from here and do a search for KingRoach's NDure threads. this will allow you to make your own NDure based softmod.
now, if you want to change what directory the mod uses to launch a dashboard, the easiest way is to use an Xbox Shortcut Maker. Choose where you want the shortcut to point, name it properly and assign it a Save Data number that matches the one of the xbe you want it to point to. Create the shortcut and name it "default.xbe". then place that file into the E:\Dashboard (or E:\Dashboard\AltDash) folder. The mod will load, find the shortcut, and launch the associated xbe.
the only trick to this is that you may not be able to point it to a folder on RealC, as ShadowC will already be invoked at this time. Placing it on ShadowC can prove pretty dangerous.
Either way, you will never be able to do use anything like XBTool to change settings. and honestly, there aren't many settings you'd want to change anyway....Short of placing the dashboard on RealC and then hiding it so the end user can't mess it up, there is no real reason to have anything anywhere else, and no settings i know of worth changing. Krayzie's installer is designed to be n00b friendly, secure, and Live Safe. The layout is so well done that i actually use it to base my hard mods on, placing my dashboard in E:\Dashboard, etc.
Thanx for the rep....though if you want to give me a real push, send a note to Krayzie or a couple of other moderators on the forums and let them know how useful my post was. i've been considering talking to some of these guys about being a moderator for a couple of forums.
Good luck, and enjoy it.

I'm a idiot. Not quite sure where to go or where to post. I had a friend do a softmod using krayzie and the splinter cell bug. The soft mod work but it work freeze sometimes. Well I really like the options the softmod offered and all the different dashboards and I decide to try a mod chip.
I thought that it would be easier to change stuff and less chance of screwing things up. My friend gave me a burned cd that was suppose to have my back up orginal eeprom and harddrive. So I booted up splinter cell and it booted up the modded dash chirst I cant remember what the dash was called now. IT had the option to unistall the soft mod. I chose the option to restore from cd/dvd. It rebooted and started the xbox green ms dash starts up and then I get nothing but a black screen. The dvd drive works and it appears the xbox is running. Is there a way to get back out of the option to to restore from cd/dvd cause I'm thinking thats whats it's trying to do. The cd my friend gave me does not have my back ups on it and he didn't save em.
I think I have ftp access through the mod chip if I put The chip in. It's a Xenium Gold. All I want is the orginal xbox restored to factory. The xbox is a 1.4 with thompson dvd never been hook up to live.
I've been reading posts for about 18 hours now and I'm totally lost so could someone please tell me what my options are and how in the hell to get back to the orginal xbox. That way I can start fresh and do all the hacks with the chip.
Thank you for any help and sorry for the long post.

My Action Replay+Memory Card order is on the way.
I have purchased the Splinter Cell game, will the Pal version work for softmoding?
I have downloaded your file Krayzie Ndure v1.1
in the SC folder, there are Rescue disc, SC save 1 & 2. What is the Resuce disc for, and the Save folders what are they for?
Do I only need 1 save in the game and use SC save 1?
by the way...i also got the CASH file,wat does it do?

as for the rest of it....all your questions are answered in the readmes. for my sanity, go back and read them. if you don't understand, read them again. if you still don't understand, think about if you really should be modding your box. If you are still at a loss after that, i'll tell you

Anyone using this (hotswap all in one disc) method be warned - there are still functions of the mod that REQUIRE the disc and the original exploit files.
Until such a time comes that zzk is able to provide 100% of the support for this on his own in an articulate manner, or unless you (the end user) are far more knowledgeable than the average user for which Krayzie's Installer was made for, it is my position that you do not use this. This simply isn't how Krayzie's installer is meant to be used, and though it will get you modded without the disc or a memory card/action replay, some functions of your mod will be inherently crippled because that disc is missing.
No Bashing, no blaming. We will not be able to provide support for this method, period. We will not be able to take any responsibility for what may happen if you use this method.
The administrator of this forum will be notified of the position and the continued stance that this should not be allowed for distribution publicly until zzk can demonstrate an ability to support those who choose to use this in a clear, concise, technical manner.
This same post will be made at the Xbox-Scene official Krayzie's NDure support thread, so that even if zzk decides it should not be here and deletes this post, people searching the X-S forums will know.

I'm most impressed with your actions, zzk. when some things settle down in my personal life, if you are interested and open minded, i have some ideas for you that you may be interested in to make a hotswap installer actually work 100% for everyone....it would require the disc still, but you would save a lot of people headaches by getting the exploit file on, and you can tailor it to each region in one fell swoop.
Bravo and kudos for a noble attempt, and for recongnizing it had flaws, and being big enough to pull it down for the safety of all.

simply deleting the eeprom.bin that it uses (from Professional mode) will force NKPatcher to use the
real eeprom but with writes disabled.
then using the tray-boot to MS dash the HD and AUDIO settings
can be set and will persest in the modded state
the real eeprom will still be write protected

Hello! I'm trying to use 1,0 and Splinter Cell to softmod my PAL Xbox, and the installation goes through fine, but it never boots up after I reset it. I've done the fonts thing, and I think the thing is softmodded (the Xbox boots up a Xbox boot disc I burned) but still, the installation doesn't finish. I don't know what's up. I've re-installed a few times, installing Exo X and Unleash, but no luck.
Help me! Ta.

Hi, I have the Krayzie Ndure 1.1.1 mod and update installed on my v1.0 xbox and it works great. I just have two questions.
(1) in order to swap my original HD out with say a 320GB HD, do I just use the "rescue disc" that comes zipped up in the original gamesave after I remove the old HD and put the new one in? or is there anything else that I will need to know?
(2) I installed the mod an my 1.0 xbox and it works great, but if I wanted to install it on the newest version xbox that is out would it still work ok?

Sorry to double post but I dont know how to edit my post in this forum. I just wanted to clearify that I did ftp to my xbox and put my "C" drive and my "E" drive in the "rescue disc" folder, and I also put my default dashboard in the rescue disc dasboard folder just in case I would need to ftp from the "recovery disc". After doing so I than created the XISO and burnt it to a disc, and the "tri boot" loads it up perfectly. One other thing is that I went back and read some of the other posts and noteced that someone mentioned something about having to turn on professional mode to access the real "C" drive. Im pretty sure that when I ftped to "C" and backed it up that it had all of the original files in it, except for the for some of the "config magic" files (I was just curious about the program, dident use it) that where installed in the "C" drive which I could easily delete if I ever wanted to revert back to stock (not that I would ). All that I think that I realy need to know is if the "tri boot" is actualy flashed to the bios or if it is just another "back door" in case the "default dashboard" becomes corrupt, or if someone is stupid enough to delete it or something. Im just wanting to make sure 100% before I try anything, even though I know that you mentioned in your readme file that the "rescue disc" is good for setting up new HDs. One more thing, I wont need to unlock my HD or anything will I?
Anyway, I know that I probably sound like a big noob, but I did my homework. I just wanted to check from this site first.
Thanks.
Oh well what do you know, there is the edit bottun right there

1. You can't simply put a new HDD in and pop a disc in and format/prepare the drive. With a chip you could. Look into XBOXHDM for upgrading your HDD.
2. Krayzies softmod works on EVERY version XBOX.

(1) use any application that will make it into an XISO (e.g. "SimpleXISOv03") and butn it with any application that will burn it as an image (I use "ImgBurn").
(2) I would reccoment "Mimesis", "Xored" trainer launcher (with any trainers that you want in the trainer folder)(dont put too many trainers in though because I have heard of people having realy bad trouble when they put like 300 trainers on the xbox[xbox doesent boot]), "Halo Cache Editor v0.7" (also known as HCE), if you want than you can just put the dashboard "avalaunch" in your xbox apps folder and download XBMC directly to your xbox from the avalaunch dashboard (if your xbox is connected to the internet).

2. Krayzies softmod works on EVERY version XBOX.
Ok, I looked at the tutorial for the program "XBOXHDM" and I have a little problem. I own a laptop, so I cant just open it up and hotswap with the xbox HD. Does anyone know of a method that would work for me (possibly an easier, and less expensive method)? I have "config magic'" so I guess that it would be possible to unlock my HD if I needed to (note that I have a softmod not a mod chip). I have heard of a usb to IDE cable before but I dont know if I would be able to use that (if I got my hands on one). In addition I wouldn't be able to remove my PC HD when using "XBOXHDM," but I do have recovery discs for my laptop so I could restore it if I screwed it up.
also, are you sure that the "XBOXHDM" method is the only way that I could prepare the new HD for the xbox? I hate the thought of having to hook the HD to my PC, lol Im just too lazy for that

The only other way you can install a new HDD with a softmod is to have a chipped XBOX. You can take ConfigMagic and flash your softmodded box's eeprom to the chipped box. Once that is done you can then put a HDD in the chipped box and build it as necessary and when done you lock it, then put it back in the softmod box and it will boot right up. Then the original eeprom from the chipped box can be restored.
But if you don't have a chipped box handy, you can't do that.
The only other easy way would be to TSOP or chip it, as those will boot an unlocked HDD.
Also, don't unlock your stock HDD at all. If you unlock it, your xbox will no longer boots (softmods don't boot unlocked HDD's).

Thank you. I dont have a hardmodded xbox handy so it looks like Im in trouble there but I will look into "TOSP" whatever that is lol. Is that when you flash your original bios with a bios that allows HD swaping or something? anyway, you dont have to answere that one, Im just posting my thoughts. I will look into all of this some other time probably, since I need to save money up for that new 320GB HD anyway. TSOP does sound interesting though dangerous, if it is what I'm thinking it is. I have also read some forums in the past about someone making a homebrewed modchip and soldering in place of the original, but that sounds as complicated and dangerouse as TSOP. Maybe I will save up and try to get my hands on a mod chip and do it that way. I wish gamestop sold mod chips because I dont have a credit card.

Is there a way to access the "real" C drive, not the virtual c drive?
assuming you are talking about the "krayzie ndure," yes. You just go to "krayzie extras" (after you put the "krayzie extras" folder (which is zipped [.rar] in the gamesave exploit) in your "apps" folder. Go to it and then go to "launch extras" and enter the password "YABX" and then start. then go to professional mod and select it. you will then reboot to your default dashboard with all vertual protections off, and you will have ftp access to your real "C" files. completely shut down and turn the xbox back on to exit professional mode. Its as simple as that

Hay I have looked around a little bit on HD reformatting and I might have found a solution for my laptop and xboxhdm. A USB to IDE cable would allow me to connect a regular descktop HD to my laptop externally. The only thing that I am not sure about is if the software that is used to lock/unlock and xboxhdm would work that way.
USB 2.0 to IDE
Thanks for any feedback.

I have not had a problem with it untill I donloaded an official save for rainbow six lockdown. But even when I tried using another computer I had the same problem. I dont know if it would have anything to do with the windows genuine validation tool update since that is the only thing that I can think of that could be screwing up both computers AR. I wouldn't think AR would be affected by it though since it is not by microsoft. (But if the xbox gamesaves are by microsoft then maybe they would have a way of doing something..) I dont know.
I have successfully modded my xbox with this exact same exploit (Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.1.rar) with mechassault before and have loaded the save to and from my memory card countless times. And actually I did try using a save that I had backed up from a long time ago and it did not work either. It must either be the validation tool or me doing something stupid with AR. Maybe Ill run a destructive recovery on my PC some time and see if that fixes it.

Been searching for an answer for 2 days now and could not find one. I kept getting an error on most replies. I installed Ndure 1.1.1 using CASH, which are both awsome tools and props to the geniuses behind it all. As noob friendly as it is I still managed to screw up. After following the instructions, I rebooted and LED was orange but all I got was a blank screen after logo. I tried a couple of things, (changed the clock on MS Dash & look in E:\ for a certain file. Nothing helped. If anyone has already answered this, then my apologies and please point me toward the right direction.

I have a feeling I overlooked something. I have a kernel 4973. Wasn't sure if that was compatible with something else so I tried all the fonts. So I'm thinking I have to upgrade or something, right?
that isn't a valid kernel. you can find your kernel in the system settings in a retail state. If the system was modded before there might be something else that messes up.

Read step 6 in http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/xbins.php carefully. That should solve your problem.
I've done a pros and cons list and like softmodding more than the chip. I've done a few for my friends, but they have newer xboxes. So, Ndure won't install on mine. Do you guys know of any other options? And how can I get a different kernel?

there are 4 things that NDURE with NKPatcher can do over a mod bios without a switch
use the XBL xonlinedash < this is a NDURE only feature and must use a stock MS bios
shadowC < nkpatcher only
virtual EEPROM < nkpatcher only
play .ISO's directly from HDD < can be done with certain mod bios (IND5003, evox M8+)
put a switch and split the TSOP then you can have both a soft and hard mod

I am trying my first softmod (any mod) and intend to use Krayzie's method. I spliced a USB Type A female connector to my break away cable (Red to red, white to white, etc.) When I plug in a controller all is well. When I plug in a USB memory stick I get one of two responses (One causes the screen to flash brighter off and on, the other just is ignored.) One I am using a SD card in a USB adapter, the other is a PNY memory stick. Both devices the LED lights up.
I was expecting to see an error message and then the device to be formatted. But in neither case does the device show up as memory in the Xbox.
I have a v 1.3 box I think (sept 2003). Any help is appreciated. I can't copy the saved game if I can't get the xbox to recognize my memory. Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need more details.

If you want the advantages of a newer bios without reflashing you could just let your tsopped bios boot to phoenix bios loader.

Krayzie, Could you help? You did a great job on the installer but I screwed it up. I installed everything ok and then went to add the extra files. I added them to the root E drive by mistake so I re-copied (ftped) them over to the apps folder. Then I started deleting things from the root E drive. Not sure what all I deleted but did not delete the eeprom backup or the apps.
I figured I would just run the exploit again to restore anything I might have messed up. But now when I run the installer (I had to copy the save again to the xbox) it tells me I no longer have the 5960 dash so it stopped the install.
I know I deleted the udata and tdata folders and I don't really care about recovering my saved games or music. But I don't know what to do next. I am not sure how to create a rescue disk to get the unit back to stock to try again. Prior to the attempt I had K:5530 and D:5960. I do have my eeprom backed up both on the e drive and the pc. I think I still have my backed up c drive in e\backup.
So now when I boot the box with the power button in it it loads to the extra's launcher unleash page. I can attempt to install a dual boot but upon reboot I get the extra launcher page every time. When I power up via the eject button xbox original Dash loads fine with the proper (old) 5960 dash.
Lastly if you or others can help thank you. It is redundant to state I am a noob but I would also appreciate a recommendation as to what dash to install unleash or evolution? Thanks, Joe

Joe,
If you can still FTP to your xbox and you don't care about the data the easiest method would be to replace everything with original m$dash files.
D/L slayers .iso http://slayer.xbox-scene.com/
Extract using xiso http://www.xbox-scen...icles/xbins.php
Under system\all you want folder c and e.
First make sure everything is set up, wires where nobody can trip over them etc... (if you screw up during this you will have to resort to hot-swap to fix). This step should only take ten mins, if that.
Ftp to your xbox
copy the backup of your eeprom to PC
Delete everything on C and E
Copy the slayers C and E over to the base of their respective drives
Restart
This will put you back into virgin M$ state (but with the 5960 dash). From here you can just redo Krayzie's installer.

I need a little help with this installer. I've done this once before and already have a modded xbox. I'm doing this to mod another xbox with xbmc for our downstairs TV.
Unfortunately, I've forgotten some of what I did. I've gotten all the files I need from xbins. I updated the 1.1 installer I had from last time with that 1.1.1 update. I've read the readme files, but I can't help but thinking I missed something. I was wondering if there was a guide somethere in this thread that I missed.
I want to get everything settled out and ready for the install before I start doing anything. This xbox has a busted dvd drive and I'm temporarily swapping out a drive from one of my working xboxes to get it modded. I'm only using this for streaming my recorded tv shows, so I really don't need the dvd drive.
I do want to say thanks to all the developers of this installer. It worked perfectly last time I used it. I just wish I could remember everything I did last time.

I'm still working on this. My xbox reconizes the save as a MA save, but it says it is corrupted. I'm wondering if I have a misplaced or missing file? I also have another question. I've been using my modded xbox to transfer the save to my mem card. I ftp the save to some unused folder on my e drive (emulators for example). I then move it from there to the mem card. I'm wondering if that could cause some issues. I'm doing something wrong and I can't figure out what.

I needed to take the save out of that folder when I tranfered it to the mem card. I'm a little annoyed that it took me all day to figure out it was something so simple. Everything is working fine now.

I wanted to make an upgrade some time ago with updated Unleashx and Nkpatcher versions along with some other goodies. Actually I got some help by a former forum member. Unfortunately since I've started my new job I don't have much of spare time and it sits here highly unfinished on my pc.
Maybe if there's anyone with some ux scriping skills and knows his way with Nkpatcher he can make an updated version. I will offcourse help with testing and stuff.
On the other hand the Xbox1 is becoming more and more overaged and the package is fine as it is. All the updates that came after weren't really important or notciced anyway (imo).

The fact that the Xbox is getting old also means that it is getting cheap. So, for me it is cheaper than another PC to run as a MythTV frontend. Thanks to folks like Krayzie who keep these 'overaged' boxen alive and kicking. I am waiting for my Xbox to arrive so I can tear in to it. If successful, I will probably buy several. Thanks.

Hello. I'm new here, and need a spot of help.
I've previously installed the NDure installer + XBMC on an XBox and it works wonderful. Thanks to Krayzie for this greatness.
My question regards a second XBox I'm trying to convert. I assembled the items necessary to do the SC based install for my first XBox convert. However, things don't seem to be working the second time around. I've gone back, in case there was data corruption, and reloaded the memory card via AR with the two saves. I've copied the saves to the Xbox HD. Then I put SC into the XBox, start up, and go through the procedure to the point where I select the linux install saved game, then I am supposed to press the A button twice. I do this and it just sits there...nothing happens. As far as I recall, things are supposed to start loading nearly immediately, but I've left it for up to an hour with no change.
I'm using the same AR, the same mem card, the same SC game disc, etc. The only thing that's changed is that this is a different XBox console. Has anybody ran into this situation previously, and if so, is there a workaround or something I may have missed?
Thanks. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but this thread has 107 pages, which is quite a bit of territory to cover.

try deleting all other SC saves and DC first.
@moviecut: I actually made some progress even though I had way less time then I expected. Still needs some work to finish it.

Hi to all,
I'm trying to install Ndure Installer using Splinter Cell. I was able to access the menu and clicked on the 1st EEPROM back-up option. After a few seconds, the screen said "backing up EEPROM", and then went to the blank black screen, and my XBOX got red ring light. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have previously installed an Evox softmod on my XBOX, but I did removed it and updated my dash to the current.
Any help is greatly appreciate!
a red led is normal when the installer is loaded. After the eeprom backup you have to return to the main menu. If you don't see anything maybe your save is corrupted or your video cable is messed up

Are you using an action replay card to transfer the save?
also after a installed softmod with the save still on the hd you can always get ftp acces as long as the xbox isn't unplugged too long.

Thx for replying man,
I'm using AR to transfer my saves. I deleted my original gamesave, and unplugged my XBOX and left it for dead about a month ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) . Rite now I can't FTP into my box. I also tried SID 4.0 installer, but after loading the save through the game it just give me a blank screen w/ no menu (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif) . If somehow I can FTP into my box what do I look that would fix my problem, so I can install you installer?
Thx ahead for the response.

Your action replay card is corrupting the saves. But since you can get acces to the main save you are lucky.
When the first screen is loaded you have ftp acces. Then delete the save in the e:\data folder and transfer the save manually via ftp. Then try again.
Btw backing up the eeprom takes less then a second

I managed to FTP to my XBOX. I have two folders in the E: drive (a TDATA and UDATA folder). Which one do I need to delete? When I FTP the Ndure gamesave over to XBOX, where do I leave at, and do I need to keep it in .zip format?
Thank you for staying with me here man.

I haven't been in the seen long, but I have softmodded over 7 boxs in the past month that I have been in it, and this is my number 1 go to exploit. Worked like a charm on all my boxs. Excellent work! I do have a question, though. Would it be possible to have it install XBMC as the dash, instead of UnleashX or EvoX? I have a 1GB USB flash drive that I use for softmodding, so size wouldn't be a problem. Everyone I know wants XBMC, but it takes forever to FTP or Copy it from a CD/DVD. Would help me out a bunch.

It's very well possible but it would involve some minor scripting. Just put a rarred xbmc in the package and let the instaler extract it instead of the usual dash.
Another quick way to ftp it afterwards is to first make a iso out of xbmc and let qwix ftp it over (optionally using avalaunch. It can handle large numbers of small files much quicker then standard ftp or dvd copy.

I too love this method for softmodding, but prefer (as others) XBMC. Would putting a rarred XBMC in the package be the only thing necessary - or would "that" require the scripting. I know nothing about scripting. Thanks either way Krayzie

It involves some scripting if you want xbmc as a dash. If needed I will make a simple addon script for people wanting xbmc as a dash and have a large mem stick

I made a little adjustement for people that want to install xbmc directly. It hasn't been tested but it should be safe to use. There is only a splinter cell version for now. If tested okay I will make them for MA and 007 also.
Instructions: (ONLY FOR SPLINTER CELL)
-Get the newest version of xbmc.
-Make sure there is a default.xbe in the main folder of xbmc
-Make sure the main folder of xbmc is called XBMC
-Make a rar file of the main XBMC folder
-Put the xbmc.rar file in the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder (wherever your save is)
-In the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder rename config.xml to config.backup
-Put the config.xml file from below in the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder
-Put the xbmcshadow.xml file from below in the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder
There should now be an extra dash option in the basic softmod menu
xml files

Krayzie... Thanks for the 007 & Mech files now. OK I want to check this out - but am having issues with this latest Xbox. I have a 1.3 that I ended up chipping because it came with no HD (E-bay). With X2 it is up & running, ran Evox backup for the Eeprom.bin. I used that file for xboxhdm to make a stock HD....error 6 & 7. I cannot get the M$ dash working. I went back to the modchip & its working. Can I just FTP the new Mech files over to the Tdata / Udata & execute it from Boxplorer - & run the softmod that way? Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question...

yes that is possible. The game is only needed to launch it on a retail system. If you allready have ftp acces and file managers running you don't need it.
Anyway it won't help you on your locking errors though. If you cannot get the xbox to boot in retail mode you also can't use the exploit

I used the PAL SC version with the XBMC modification posted above and I have kind of a noobish question: if I wanted to update the xbmc being booted as the dashboard would I just update the one in E/Apps/XBMC/? I know I need to be in some alternative dashboard when FTPing the new version of XBMC across.
OK, I had a read throught the XML files and it's fairly obvious it's E:\dashboard\ when you bother to look, sorry.
I've hit a second snag though, I can't seem to be able to install the evolution-x dashdoard to E:\Apps\ I can FTP it across but it's not selectable as an applicaion in XBMC or Avalaunch. Is there a work around for this? It's no biggie as I have avalaunch available but if possible I'd prefer evox.

you can update by replacing the files in the dashboard folder. also when placing evox in apps folder rename evoxdash.xbe to default.xbe

First, thank you Krayzie for the sweet installer.
I've chipped five or six boxes in the past. I'm comfortable with how the dash replacements work. I've read that if I want to install XBMC (or any other dash) that I can copy the files to E\Dashboard\. However, once I install with the NTSC SC expolit my E drive has "backups", "CACHE", "TDATA", and "UDATA"... those are the only directories on E. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a bunch.

I got it figured out Krayzie. When I FTP'd into the box there was not E\Dashboard\. But I just went ahead and made the folder and copied my XBMC into it and that worked.
I'm couldn't be happier with this softmod deal. Love it.

Trying to softmod an xbox using the splinter cell game save exploit. All is well until I get to the Krazy Tools section. I dont have an option to Install the softmod or any other dashboards. The only options I have are...
-remove softmod
- specify fonts
- copy eepromm to mu
- settings
- reboot
When I originally tried this I have a dashboard version of 5659 which I understand is not the minimum version. I updated the dashboard on the xbox to 5960 however I still have the same problems. The unit still powers up and can play games no problem. Any ideas? I have tried removing the files from the xbox's hd and reinstalling them however I still have the same problem.
Thanks in advance....

Hi, I'm a noob, and have a few questions about the Ndure Installer.
-What is the best and or latest version of the installer? ( I heard 1.1.1 was the best, but I'm seeing 2.0 and up on some sites, although I figure these are fakes)
-Can I update to the 5960 dashboard version without getting an xbox live game from Halo 2 and up? Like can I just plug up to my ethernet cable I use for the net, and update the dash that way, if so, how? I assume that mechassault non platinum version doesn't inlcude this dash update?
-Where is the best place for the files I'm going to need, like ndure installer and such, the "usual places" I assume?
-Which is better, EvoX or UnleashX, I want the one with the most stuff, I don't care which is easiest to use, I can learn to use anything, even if it's slightly complicated. Which has the most functions, and which is more functional?
thanx in advance

1. Krayzie Ndure 1.1.1.
2. You can update to 5960 dash later. Ndure basic will work with your current dash. Slayer's or CASH will have latest dash but you need to be softmodded first.
3. Usual place.
4. UnleashX my personal choice due to built-in file manager as a matter of convenience. But EvoX isn't too bad a choice also and the dash has its own fans - due to features like flashing of bios. XBMC can also be used as a dash.

Hi All.
First up, thanks Krayzie for putting the time into this project. It really was a pleasure to use, and very easy.
Some background:
I just bought a second hand XBox wih the intention of running XBMC on it for streaming media to my TV. After heaps of reading and pages and pages of printing I got all the necessary items together to attempt Krayzie's mod.
I first updated the 1.1 pack to 1.1.1 on the PC.
Next I transferred the Game Saves (Splinter Cell PAL version) to a USB stick using XPLorer360
I connected the USB stick to the XBox with an adapter cable, transferred the Saves across, fired up Splinter Cell and ran the Exploit.
After the EEPROM backup step, the first thing I did was FTP into the XBox and back up C and E drive to my PC.
The rest of the install was fine, up until the "Press OK to re-boot and activate the Shadow C: drive" part.
When I did this, the XBox re-booted to the XBox splash screen (I think I've seen it referred to as "Flubber"??), but the hard drive started making a horrible "Clack -Click" noise until eventually I got an error screen with 07 in the corner.
I had only turned the box on 2 or 3 times before instaling the mod, and it seemed to be fine.
After the error, I powered off and waited a few minutes before trying again. This time it powered up fine with the UnleashX dashboard, and all seemed to work well, so I put it down to a minor glitch.
Later I power up again to install XBMC and the same thing happened. The first attempt failed, but a wait then retry got it working and I installed XBMC.
Now, however, it seems to have failed completely, and won't boot at all no matter how many times I try or how long I wait. I just get the "Clack - Click" and the error 07.
I'm 90% sure it's a hardware fault and I just got unlucky and got a drive that was on it's way out. Fortunately the store I bought the machine from gives a 12 month warranty on second hand units, so I'm not worried about that. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had done that had caused the fault, before I try again on the replacement unit.
Is there anyway at all the installer (or more correctly, the mug using the installer) can cause a hard drive failure as I described? I'm pretty certain the answer is no, but I thought I should check anyway.

Only hotswapping may damage the hdd. Gamesave exploits won't have that kind of side-effect. Since you have complete backups of C and E including the eeprom.bin with ftp, you can actually do a complete xboxhdm rebuild and take the opportunity to do a hdd upgrade if you wish. I wished I was as meticulous as you when I did my softmod.

Thanks for that. It's pretty much what I figured. I did consider upgrading the HDD, but I thought it would be safer to get a new unit and keep the warranty, just in case something else breaks. I'll do the upgrade when the warranty is up.
I did heaps of reading before attempting the mod, hence my backing everything up.
I guess that's an advantage of being a late-adopter of this setup...I am fortunate to be able to learn from everyone else's mistakes
wow that's cool. me too gonna start softmodding my xbox, only after 3 years of owning it. actually, i modded my xbox360 and psp earlier than my xbox. just a question :- i downloaded the ndure1.1 from the 'usual place' and just to make sure i downloaded the right stuff - i got to use the NTSC ver of ndure for my NTSC/J console? i am using the SC exploit to do it.

I want to put the latest xbmc (Atlantis) on my xbox.
I finally got Krayzie's Ndure Installer to work for me - THANKS, to Krayzie for writing it and all the info on this site - it was a Crap AR memory card that was the problem - used a Dane-Elect 128Mb and it works!
So, I got the latest xbmc "XBMC-SVN_2008-10-06_rev15805-T3CH-BETA2", Un-rar-ed it, and followed the instructions to put the xml files and xbmc.rar into the ../0000000.. directory of the xbox (do the xml files need to be edited (e.g. the IP is 192.168.0.200, and my xbox is 118...?).
Now, I feel like a DOOFUS for asking, but how does one get to the "basic softmod menu"?
I assume you rerun the basic softmod (insert Splinter Cell disk select "linux"...) but it does not seem obvious.

to install the dash you have 2 options
install XBMC as an app (in E:\apps) run it and make sure it works before you try either
1) use the included shortcuts in the XBMC .rar file (they are in tools folder) and rename the SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe to default.xbe and rename SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg to default.cfg and place them into the E:\dashboard folder make sure the apth to the XBMC default.xbe is E:\apps\XBMC\default.xbe when done restart xbox
2)after testing XBMC move the contents of E:\apps\XBMC to E:\dashboard and restart

I asume you talk about the xml files I prepared for installing xbmc directly. Thos are only for people that have large usb drives and wan't to install xbmc along with the softmod instead of afterwards. It's not for installing xbmc afterwards!
For installing xbmc after you installed the softmod better follow Steveos directions or use the dash option in the extras menu.

Hello, I am a newbie with installing software on the xbox. I am trying to get the Softmod to come up when I boot up my xbox. I have installed the software as per the screen directions. No errors have come up. I have installed the latests version V2 and installed the 67 option. When I boot up my xbox I get a blank black screen. The ejected button is Orange, which sounds correct, but I see nothing on the screen.
What do I need to do?
All help most welcome
Cheers
John
version V2? Krayzie's Ndure only comes up to version 1.1.1. See if you can cold boot game disc and then loads the gamesave on the hdd. That will give you ftp access to fix things.

I am pleased to announce that I finalized the 1.0 version of the installer and it will be available soon. If you have any feedback or questions do not be afraid to post them.
Is there a guide please?
What version of the games are needed (ie part number etc). I already have 007 Agent Under Fire but its the classic version so wondering if this will do?

The guide comes with the Krayzie 1.1.1 softmod installers.
Exploitable games can be easily identified - have a look here. Classic Hits AUF is unlikely to work.

Definitely easier and quicker, and no hotswapping means no chance of bricking your Xbox.

Depending on what you have available Action Replay may not be the best option. Xplorer360 beta 6 will happily read and write FATX formatted memory devices without having to mess around with USB drivers (which is what you have to do with AR). All you need is an Xbox compatible USB stick and an Xbox to USB converter cable, OR an Xbox MU and an Xbox controller modified to have a USB connector instead of the Xbox connector. Use your Xbox to format the MU/USB stick, and use Xplorer360 on your PC to copy the Krayzie 1.1.1 gamesaves onto the stick.
You don't say where you are in the world, but in the UK you can always find copies of Splinter Cell in Cash Converters and other similar shops for around £2.00, and the advantage of Splinter Cell is that all copies of the original game are exploitable.

Thats great as I do have a USB cable already for my xbox! Don't think I've tried to format a USB via the Xbox before though, how would I do this? I have XBMC installed my other Xbox so perhaps in there?
You meation Krayzie 1.1.1, but I'm only found instal guides for 1.1. Do I need to instal 1.1 first and then 1.1.1 or can I simply simple 1.1.1 straight away?
I'm from UK. Actually had splinter cell up until a few months back, but sold it! Not to worry, will get another off ebay. I take it I need the first splinter cell game (pandora etc will not work)?

If you have another Xbox life suddenly gets much easier. To format the memory stick you just plug it in to your unmodded Xbox, and if it recognises it the Xbox will format it. FTP the Krayzie gamesaves to your modded Xbox, then copy them to the memory stick (USB or MU, makes no difference) - no need for AR or Xplorer360.
The differences between 1.1 and 1.1.1 are minor. You just take the 1.1 mods and replace a couple of config files with the replacements from the 1.1.1 update kit before you copy them to your Xbox. Alternatively you can apply the update after doing the mod. The update kit has full instructions.
Yes, you need the original Splinter Cell - Pandora etc. do not work.

Hi again Heimdall.
I've got hold of splinter cell now, but need a guide if possible? The only guides I can find relate to installing using AR etc. Is there a guide available for the way you suggested please as I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct?
I unzipped udata.zip for game save 1 & 2, which leaves me with folders '5553000c' & '21585554'. Folder 5553000c copies ok to USB and I can transfer this to the unmodded xbox fine, but when I try to copy folder 21585554 to USB, it fails to copy?

It's prob too big to go all onto the USB\Mem card,
I find it easier to just plop on a SC Save that has EvoX & FTP Support setup already built into it and then once I get that gamesave onto the USB\MC which should fit without any issues, copy it over to the xbox via the MS Dash on the unmodded Xbox and then i launch the game and get into EvoX and then fire up FTP and delete the contents of UDATA on E:\ then toss onto the 2 Ndure SC Installtion \ Setup save is too big to get totally onto 1 MC unless you had one that held more than your normal MC does.

I've restored using slayers, however, xbox is still booting to evolution x, even though original ms files are present again on C: (and no sign of evolution x anywhere)?
Please help, how do I FULLY restore hdd to retail with MS dashboard?

It's been awhile since I modded my last xbox and was wondering if this is still one of the better softmod methods? I got a xbox for $5 from a garage sale and I'm going to xbmc on it.
Also, is xbins still the main place for getting homebrew software for the xbox? I still have all my files from my first install, but I want to get updated files.

Krayzie,
I originally softmodded my v1.6 xbox with your 1.0 SC exploit. Now, I'm trying to upgrade my hdd with xboxhdm.
After reading a lot on the web, I've come across two potential obstacles: virtual c, and virtual eeprom.
My questions: How do I get to my real C files? When I ftp to the xbox are the files I see under C\ the retail xbox files? Are the files under E\backups\Cdrive my retail xbox files? How do I get to my real eeprom? When I go to E\backups\eeprom\backup, is the eeprom my "real" one or a virtual one?
Just trying to figure this whole thing out...
Thanks!

The files you see aren't the real C, they are the shadow C files. The files in E:\Backup\ are also copies of the original unmodded C.
You bypass shadow C by running Krayzie extras, then you can FTP the original C files once the LED turns red.
The eeprom file is the real one.
There are other ways to upgrade your softmod hard drive - see my signature for details.

Scratch that last... I found the answer in your previous posts.
So, if I want to do this should I use all my E files or leave it empty? I believe that would cause the hdd to boot to MS dash, and allow me to install the softmod as I did on my original hdd.
I'd just like to confirm this. I've been trying unsuccessfully for a few weeks now to build a drive from scratch and keep running into errors.

cant supply links to such things here.
However you can google krazie ndure installer 1.1.1 and find it easily enough. you should also add the word (pal) or (ntsc) depending on what your system is. pal for pal ntsc for ntsc...

After installing the softmod... I can't get 480p or 720p to work from the UnleashX dashboard, they enable in the menu but do not apply, even after a restart... However, if I load the SC gamesave, the mod menu's UnleashX jumps into 720p mode without a hitch...
I've run into this once before on my own system, after uninstalling the mod, then setting the M$ dashboard to use both 480p and 720p, and then installing the mod a second time I was able to get 480p and 720p mode working from the UnleashX dash... I wonder why it let me load the SC exploit only after the second time with 480p and 720p enabled...

Hi there,
I installed NDURE with no error message on my italian XBOX but when I rebooted I got no dash. Since I was still able to rerun the MA installed savegame (which now shows a new NDURE menu as if it was installed properly), I ftp in the xbox, cancel C and E data to put the box in original retail mode, reupload the NDURE installation savegame via ftp in UDATA and rerun it but I got the same result -> no dash after reboot.
If I try to run enable softmod from NDURE savegame (booting from MA) I get the following error message:
Bad Process Failed.
The last item was:.
Action: Rename
I saw that in past someone notified a similar error in this thread but I didn't find any debugging nor explanation of possible solutions...
Now, my questions:
A - Could it be that I need a specific PAL NDURE savegame in order to install it properly on my XBOX? (PAL or NTSC output is not an issue for my TV as it accept both but could it be an issue for my xbox?)
B - Any idea of what could be causing this issue?
C - 1 side comment, once NDURE is properly installed I'd like to enable 480p and 720P in order have a better definition on my HDTV.... sometime ago I read that this is only possible using and NTSC ndure savegame, is that still the case?
thanks,
blackdir
Below the exact steps I followed for the NDURE installation
- I had an original italian retail XBOX with kernel release 5101 and Dashboard release 5659
- I run halo 2, launched the live tab (with RJ45 unplugged) and got a new dash (5960)
- I then copied the NDURE installation savegame (first via an action reply memory unit, then via ftp erase it and upload same one -to avoid action reply savegame corruption) on the xbox HD
- I run NDURE, used the backup options (eproom and disk)
- I ftp on the xbox and get a copy of both C and E on my PC just to stay on the safe side
- I installed the NDURE softmod choosing .06 as suggested.
- At the end of the installation process I got a message saying that the only missing part was shadow C that it would have been activated automatically at reboot
- As NDURE asked to reboot I did (I powered off the xbox, eject MA, powered off powered on)
- My xbox had no dash.
A: If the installer menu shows up the save is fine. You can try eiter setting your dashboard language to english first or use the tweak fonts option (readme)
B: If it hangs at the logo screen it's probably a memory layout issue (look at A to fix)
C: I don't own a HDTV compatible screen so I don't really have an idea how to get 480/720p enabled. I thought it was a setting in the ntsc msdash so you could try changin the region to 1 using configmagic to enable that but beware this is a risky job so only do it if you are confident enought to know what you are doin. Or maybe someone else who knows this stuff can shed some light...
Post by: soopawhitee on November 25, 2005, 11:59:00 AM
I checked applying these settings in mod and retail mode... The MSDashboard settings seem to be separated from the mod MSDash and retail MSDash.... So I guess any settings you change while in retail mode you will have to manually load the MSDash while in mod mode and apply them aswell.

For A and B: thank you very much! It was a font issue: from the savegame I selected my kernel and when I rebooted I was asked to enable the shadow. Now my system works fine: I configured it in retail mode (power -> unlashx, eject -> ms dash)
Regarding C, I need some additional info.... In unlashx settings 480p and 720p are currently disabled... I saw that in extra there is the VGA settings, do they apply even if I use a component cable ?
blackdir
There is a force progressive function which you could use but I think it might not working properly due to misconfiguration. The force progressive function should work in the next revision of my installer and yes you could use that with component input.
You should be able to use the unleash x settings fine though.

So, I'm not sure I understood right... let me recap:
1- I understand right: I better wait for your next installer release for progressive scan, right?
2- Regarding unlashx, right now the 480p and 720p settings are disabled: I can only change the screen size (I set it to widescreen). You are telling me that it is possible to enable those settings? If so, can you give me some tips on how to do it?
As I've said earlier I don't own a hd screen so I've never used or enabled those functions so I can't help you with that either.
If you have a ntsc xbox you could go into msdash and enable 480p and 720p there (taken that you have a hd av cable connected). You could try the vga options in the installer too but I don't know if they work correctly for progressive scan only.
I will get my lcd HDtv screen soon too (Europe is way behind unfortunately) so I can finally see what all this is about.

I'm having issues with the Dolby Digital settings. I can enable it in modded mod, but when i turn the system off, the settings go away as well.
i figure this is due to the options setup in my eeprom prior to modification...it copied my eeprom as it was (aka before my 5.1 system) and used that as the virtual Eeprom.
if this is the case, i'm guessing my ONLY recourse is to
A) Completely remod the system
Rename the Backup directory, disable mod, run dash and change settings, use splinter cell to access the red menu, run Slayers somehow from there to re-backup the Eeprom, and then copy the new eeprom over the old one, re-enable the mod, and call it good.will B even work? If i do A, can i still get analog sound out of the RCAs?
I ask because my box is moible...i take it with me different places and use it on different setups.
Lastly, how can i use my BNC/VGA monitor with my system for progressive scan modes?
thanx all
Post by: krayzie on November 26, 2005, 11:21:00 PM
You could try a uninstall and reinstall to ensure the eeprom is in the correct place. also delete the exploited save and copy a new one before reinstalling. this ensures a new backup of the eeprom during the installation.
B: isn't gonna work since the virtual eeprom is on the actual C and not in the backup folder. you could try checking if it's still there and optionally replace it with a fresh copy from evox or configmagic.
If I'm not mistaken you need a vga monitor with component inputs or a x2tvga connector to connect the xbox to a vga monitor. you can set vga patches from within the installer.

I have no idea. the eeprom is taken from a normal evox backup just like slayers. are you sure you cannot use it to lock the hd even though it might apear different? remember there are differences between the unique hd key the generated password.
I did not try it with the "incorrect" eeprom from the installer, because the key that was shown did not match what was in UnleashX. I ran into this problem a couple of times in the past. So, I used Slayers instead and the eeprom had the key that now matched. I think that this might be a problem isolated to v1.6's. I am curious if anyone else has had this problem.

Short basic history: previous we only had a bootstrap (the file that gets loaded first and is exploited) that loaded onto kernels 5530 and lower (UDE). Later we found a bootstrap that would also work on NTSC 5713 and 5838 (1.6) xboxes but it wouldnt run on PAL xboxes so pal users had to convert their xboxes to US xboxes first to run it (UDE2).
A few months later some smart dudes found out how to get an exploitable dash via live that would run on all kernels and all regions so UXE was discovered.
Then Rmenhal (the guy who made the fonts/nkpatcher/pblmetoo) found out that in that same set of dashboard files where UXE came from there was also an xonlinedash.xbe which loaded the fonts from a different location then the UXE's update.xbe. Later this was picked up by Ndure Protagonist (aka Eh) and he delivered us Ndure. The benefits of Ndure is that since it loads its fonts from a different location that other things that use the regular fonts keep working. This includes live updates and msdash and some games that need the fonts.
The clock loop problem was solved with the intruduction of UDE. Before that people exploited a normal xboxdash.xbe. What happened was that sometimes people left their xbox unplugged for too long so the xbox lost it's time. When an xbox looses time it wants to go straight to the clock setting screen rather then loading it's normal bootcycle. this created a crash since it couldn't load it's normal fonts and most of the time it refused to load the hacked fonts resulting in a sometimes endless rebooting sequence.
UDE uses not a xboxdash.xbe but an update.xbe. Since this is not a regular bootstrap for an xbox, when the clock is dead and the xbox wants to load it it cannot handle the kernel's dead clock call (since it wasn't designed for that) and keeps booting the xbe and the hacked fonts like normal. this completely eliminated the clock loop problem.

I've never been on Live, so I wanted to sign up with my Ndure modded box. I enabled the dual-retail multiboot option, booted with the eject button, then went to "XBOX LIVE" then "NEW ACCOUNT".
The screen just went blank and nothing happened. Did I just get my new xbox banned? Or did the softmod block access to xbox live?
I assume I have to turn the softmod off, then sign up for Live, then switch the softmod on. Will this work or am I banned?

You are right and I'm actually able to run some unsigned code (as DVD2X), my point is that strangely I'm not able to run Dynebolic (linux live CD) as when I browser the CD files (with XBMC) and launch the default.xbe file on the Dynabolic CD, the screen turns black and the system freeze.
Any idea of what could be the issue? Any suggestion on how to solve this?

Regarding which, I think your Ndure installer is amazing krayzie because (I must admit) I didn't think it possible to package the original 'retail' setup in such a user-friendly and safe manner via a gamesave. Also, rarely credited, it includes various other awesome features too!

B: isn't gonna work since the virtual eeprom is on the actual C and not in the backup folder. you could try checking if it's still there and optionally replace it with a fresh copy from evox or configmagic.
If I'm not mistaken you need a vga monitor with component inputs or a x2tvga connector to connect the xbox to a vga monitor. you can set vga patches from within the installer.
Well, they do not stick. there is a backup folder with an eeprom file in it under E:\Backup, but that's all i got.
Guess i'm reinstalling to make sure.
thanx

if you delete the EEPROM file (using the gamesave)
NKPatcher will still shadow the EEPROM to protect from writes
but it will load the real EEPROM data at boot to use.
so if you make changes in the MS dash with tray-open_retail boot it will write to the EEPROM
and all changes will remain....

first time using a softmod was with this Krayzie installer and it was so painless! GREAT JOB! but i have a few questions about softmodding in general.
I was softmodding a 1.0 and after reading various tutorials here at xbox-scene i found out that you must solder points on the mobo. bridged 2 points near the LPC and then connected 2 points on the back of the mobo. What exactly does soldering these points do? Will the softmod function correctly without soldering? Is it completely necessary? And i know that the tutorials here on the home page are usually very old information so I'm asking if the new Softmods do not require any soldering at all?
I ask because another friend of mine has a 1.6 and wants his softmodded as well. can i just skip the soldering process altogehter? thanks.
Softmods NEVER require any soldering. It's not even needed to open the case.
The soldering is for flashing the onboard bios chip (TSOP) and have not much to do with softmods (the only relation is the use of an exploit to get a flashing app going). For more info about tsop flashing go to the tsop forums.

no it doesn't switch video modes by itself. The dash itself might set some video values when loading though. I again must say that when loading the dash from nkp directly the dash gets loaded much more nicely.
thanks again. i'll change the nkpatcher then. which version of nkpatcher is with the installers now? just so i don't mess up any settings, what was your config file? i want to keep my changes minimal. i LOVE everything, I just obviously want to load the dash more smoothly.
Again, thanks for this installer and all the help! Sorry for being a pain.

Kingroach's installer should have the latest nkpatcher.... For my installer you should have to wait. Or install nkpatcher manually.
thanks krayzie, but i finally figured out what was causing the large amount of flicker. don't know why i thought about it, but once I switched from the HD AV pack to the standard AV cable, the large amount of flicker disappeared. It had nothing to do with nkpatcher and multilaunch ( i figured that out cuz i removed multilaunch by replacing the xbe). who knew? (you probably did and i missed reading about it somewhere
) thanks so much. i'll try to get rid of it by messing with the vga settings.
Post by: JeroenDierckx on December 05, 2005, 10:15:00 AM
I modded my xbox about a year ago (with Softmod Installer Deluxe 2) and it works perfectly. Afterwards I've modded a bunch of my friends' xboxes with SID 3, and they all have problems running some games. I did that all before I read some more about it and realized that SID actually is a bunch of crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I've been reading a bit about the this installer and the ndure method it uses, and actually I can't wait to convert my and the other xboxes to this new system. So I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:
- I know the posts say that I have to revert my xbox hd to stock, but isn't that a bit drastic? I mean, do I really have to move all my apps and dashboards from my E drive? I already have backups of my original C and E drives (and my eeprom off course). I mean, I just want to use the new ndure method, I would want to keep my current dashboard, apps and stuff. Maybe there's a better way than using your installer?
- A lot of games aren't working on my friends' xboxes, Burnout Revenge for example. It hangs with a dirty disk error, while I cleared all the cache and formatted the X,Y and Z drives (if that's even necessary). The same files work perfectly on my xbox. Any chance those problems will be fixed when they update to ndure?
- I read something about you busy creating a new installer. Will that be finished in the short term? Or will it be at least some months before the release. Cause if it's there soon, I'm going to wait for it before I do all the upgrading stuff. And is there any chance you could post what the major changes are going to be? Actually I want to ask the same for ndure in general. Is there an official thread or something about the development of ndure? Cause I'm very interested in that.
- I'm particulary interested in the iso mounting feature of ndure, and I can't find many info about it. If I get it right, there's an xbe you have to run that disables the dvd drive and virtually creates it again with the iso mounted. I have the feeling that dashboards could make this process much easier. Would adding a feature to, say UnleashX, where you could just select an iso file and choose "run game" be hard to make (for the UnleashX developers that is)? Cause if it isn't, we have to ask the dashboard developers for it right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Sorry for the long list of questions, but thanks already!
Greetz,
JeDi
P.S. I can't really congratulate Krayzie for the great installer yet, as I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I have a feeling that I will be doing that very soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Post by: krayzie on December 05, 2005, 10:31:00 AM
there is a chance the games will run cuz of other settings but that isn't guaranteed. Sid uses pbl/m8 which is not so different from nkpatcher.
The new installer should be out early 2006. it will have the new nkpatcher, some different install functions and some custmomize functions. Ndure itself is just an exploit. It needs no further development as it works how it's suposed to allready. Only whole softmod setups can be developed to more advanced forms.
The mount iso tool nkpatcher offers is at kernel level. I don't think dashboards can provide such chances since they have no real part in patching the kernel like nkpatcher does. (I guess they technically could but it is very unlikely to happen). I personally haven't used the iso feature cuz it doesn't provide that much uses to me. If I want to ad a game to my hd I just extract the iso while transfering (mad fast using qwix and ava) and xbmc plays iso packed movies great too. Also larger files need to be prepared a certain due to the fatx size limits. Just too much hassle but I'm sure some people find it usefull.
Post by: JeroenDierckx on December 05, 2005, 11:03:00 AM
Thanks for the quick answers!
I'm sorry, I kinda mixed up ndure and nkpatcher. I meant I'm very interested in the iso mounting feature, and new features in general of NkPatcher. Is there an official thread for it somewhere? I just can't find it...
The nice thing about the iso mounting feature is that it could create a wide range of opportunities. First of all, many xbox games use ten thousands of files, which could make using the iso file a lot more efficient (the whole block size thing).
Second, the iso mounting provides some sort of abstraction between the xbox filesystem (where the game is working with) and the iso files. I could see this growing to not only be able to mount iso files from disk, but from other locations too. Off course that would be too big to fit in a kernel, but could'nt there be some kind of mechanism where the file access could be programmed in user space (just thinking aloud here, I'm not that familiar with kernel programming)? If that would be possible, dashboards could implement file access through an ftp server, or even an SMB share! Imagine having a big server with all xbox games available, and being able to start them right from there! Off course that would be a bit slow, but only at loading times (there isn't that much disk access during gameplay, right?).
Anyway, I'm just going to try your current installer this night (on my pbl based old softmodded xbox), and see what happens. As the "new" SID 3 was already based on nkpatcher (so it sais), I'm afraid this won't help my friends very much, but at least I'll make their boxes more idiot proof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Groetjes,
JeDi

not to take anything away from Krayzie's installers (the best gamesave installer to date)
but once you get past the noob stage i think it is a lot easer to use a image of C and E to mod xbox's
just boot up any gamesave and FTP them in and your done (and they can be tweaked before hand to your liking) a good start would be Kingroach's NDURE installer for PC
EDIT: it would be nice if everyone could agree on a standard to name files and dir
C:\NKPatcher\default.xbe ver C:\Bios\bios.xbe
E:\dashboard\default.xbe ver E:\dash\default.xbe

Thanks for the info guys! I'll definitely have a look into Kingroache's installer. The reason I want to test Krayzie's installer is that I'm kinda fed up with modding so many noob xboxes. I would just want to give them the game and memory card with the installer and let them do it themselves. I noticed by practice that wasn't a good idea with SID (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)
BTW, thanks for the tip about Qwix! I was using c-xbox tool for now, but it's kinda buggy and it lacks certain handy features (like keeping track of different xbox connections). I hope it works with unleashx's boost mode too, but I guess that's just the same as avalaunche's...

Is the drive that you are saving your eeprom info to the virtual drive? If it is then you first need to run a bfm bios in order to save it on the real drive and not the virtual one. I haven't used this installer but for manual installs when compiling yourself into a completely hidden c this can be the case.
@ krayzie
Why has your sig changed to no longer include the completely hidden c and the other things?

most games i'm aware of access the disk pretty much constantly. but the real problem with your idea is that once the game xbe was loaded into memory, the whole smb thing would instantly stop working, because the smb client would have to be part of the dashboard code, and the xbox cannot run two processes simultaneously. basically it's impossible.

you have to make a backup as the first option in the menu, so if anything did go wrong changing the dash youd still be able to get back to the exploit through your retail game to restore it

F drive is enabled on the dashboard, and yes i chose the option to enable f drive.... is there a command or program i could use that could allocate the left over GBs to the f drive without deleting anything of the other drives? thanks
if its a stock drive, there will be no left over space, unless its a seagate, then you'll have 2gbs on F use the format menu in unleashX to gain it, if using evox, you'll need to add the command to the ini file most likely.

i get widescreen just fine in the msdash and in xbmc, but it switches out when i run a game (and yes i double checked that these games support 16:9).
is there a way to see what's in the "virtual" eeprom vs the real one? or copy one to the other?
if i use your installer to switch back to a "retail" state will i have just one eeprom? i can't think why else it wouldn't go widescreen in games unless the dash is not writing to the same eeprom that the games are reading from.

- running a modded xbox into xbox live = instaban, never play on live again.
- even if you run retail, and use fuckMS to load a modded backup, and you are detected.= ban!
- i don't know what else to say, but MODDED XBOX+XBOX LIVE=BAN, NO MORE XBOX LIVE, AND MB SOME CREDIT CARD BLACK LISTING.

as I said above I have F & G:drives with Ndure(F:15,875.88 MB free G:107,376.94 MB free), problem is F:drive is showing as empty when I open it in UnleashX or ftp to it
you mean you can't see it when your in the installer menu? that should be normal since it uses another bios (06).

Problem:
Backed up eeprom, and installed the softmod and everything installed fine. When it comes to the end and says something to the sort of "Need to configure shadow C drive, press ok to restart you will be automatically prompted", so i press ok take out the game and when the dashboard tries to load i get an xbox message saying that my xbox needs service. There is no error code on the message, just the message. So i boot back to MA and remove the softmod and recover and it recovers fine.
What i have tried:
I have tried installing both Evox and UnleashX, as well as both nkpatchers in all possible combinations. I got Slayers 2.6 disc, and FTP'd the backup C drive on it to start with a clean slate. Still didn't work. So i tried re-FTPing the installer back onto the xbox still no luck. i even redowloaded the installer and tried again. I am not using AR, i had to unzip all of the files. i used the old mechinstaller to boot emergency linux and ftp the installer to the xbox.
Xbox:
D = 5960
K = 3944
Using mechassualt gamesave
I hate posting, but i have exhausted all possible resources
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

@ chaos-consultants: you just copy the linux saves over via the msdashboard and launch them via the game.

did you try to patch the fonts according to your specific kernel? (that is how I solved the same issue)
Once the installation is complete, you just boot with MA, load the save game (which is unleashx) and apply the font patch according to the kernel you are using. reboot your xbox and that's it!
blackdir
good call. normally a hangup should occur after a incompatible font but an error screen might also be possible.

Final question: shall I run the enigmah video mode selector from the retail MS dash, from unleashX or it is the same?
It won't run from the retail dash, install it in your E:\, F:\ or G:\ APPS directory and it will be selectable from UnleashX. Once the switch is made it will survive a reboot as Enigmah writes to you eeprom, so there shouldn't be a need to switch to NTSC everytime you boot up or restart.

I have tried it both ways. I tried the font patch too still no luck. Can you Ftp The C drive from slayers disc to the xbox. I don't ever get an over write prompt using flash fxp when i transfer over the C drive. With the E drive it asks if i want to overwrite. Just a thought.

All right after further testing my box is still unmodded. I have completely deleted the C drive and then ftped slayers C drive to my box. I completely deleted the Udata and retransfered the installer. I completely deleted everything else out of E: drive including apps,games,emus. I cleared the Z drive and deleted the Cache folder from the E drive. after the install i get the same thing. After i press ok where it says you will be taken to the screen automatically to setup shadow C, the box shuts off. I restart the box and get an error message saying my box needs service. The same error happens when you boot the xbox without xboxdash.xbe in the C drive. I have absolutely no clue. Has anyone had this problem? Or does anyone know what might help, at this point im up for anything. Also there is an H drive on the box that has nothing in it, CDEXYZ are all still there, don't know if this would mess anything up. Is it possible that the shadow.img is corrupt?
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated!!!
D=5960
K = 3994
Ok i just removed everything and reinstalled again, didn't work go figure, but i ftped back to the box to take a look at the c drive. there was no xboxdash.xbe, which is probably right, but i transfered one in there for testing purposes and it booted up to the ms dash fine, but with no shadow C update. the C drive looks as follows:
Audio
bak
fonts
multiboot
nkpatcher
rescuedash
xboxdashdata.185ead00
xodash
eeprom.bin
msxboxdash.xbe
Maybe that will help
it's indeed missing xboxdash.xbe.
where did you obtain the package?
I suggest getting a new one from xbins and use that

I got the installer from xbins. the path to xboxdash.xbe is:

Is that right? I wonder if i am extracting the files to the right directory.
I redownloaded the package from xbins and extracted them, all files are the same and in the same directories.I will try it on the xbox when i get home.
The following is the installer after winrar extraction:

I used a plain old memory card to install the save. i was able to pick up 2 for under $10. You can build a USB/XBox cable the way i did, following the instructions on the tutorial....as a bonus, you can enable the use of USB memory cards.
i'd say, save yourself the effort and just use a mem card. But this would be nice info to know

I installed this softmod and it work great for dual boot. I also installed it for my friend but he tried to use the xbox live recovery without turning the softmod off first and now he gets a 21 error code with he tried to log on to live. His evo dash still works fine. How can I fix this problem without starting over? It seem like the live recovery miss up his MS dash.

also extract the files.rar and look in the dashboard folders and edit the emulators path there also. don't forget to rar it back up.
Post by: krayzie on January 07, 2006, 12:50:00 PM
- yes you can ftp them fine/ make sure you unzip them first
- yes you need the original game although with chip on you could also use a backup (your c drive needs to have stock dashboard files)
- to install the softmod you need to read the onscreen instructions
- it will work on all xbox verison

I ask my friend what he exactly did at his house. He said he tried to do a Live account recovery of another Live account in the mod mode (orange LED).

thanks for answering my questions.
i have another one though. you mentioned that I should have the stock dash on my C what is that mean? which file or files are you talking about. because what i did before chip modding my xbox i made a backup of my c & e drive. that would be the orginal. should i just copy it back to my c the c backup i made?
if i do that how am i suppose to access the save files i put in e\udata?
should i remove the wire i solder on power button to access back to original dash, well first i should put back the c backup i made to c. should this work or is there other way of doing it?
thanks again
The C Drive has little to do with those save games.
Take your system back to stock, then FTP into it and put the save games back. You can use Slayer's. FInd it in the usual places. I *HIGHLY* suggest making sure you don't have a shadow C drive running when you do this.
the saves are accessed via the chosen original game. anyone who soft mods their system should own at least 1 or 2 originals of their chosen installer's game. I use Splinter Cell personally.

was also wondering if it was possible to have the dashes set up so that G drive was enabled by default if you chose the 0.67 option (or equivelant), and if it would be possible to add in a Format G drive option in the main mod menu.

Will NTSC SC Installer work with any NTSC Games (like Japan NTSC)?

what's up with the caps. well ok if it makes you feel better. There will be Format functions for F and G although not in the main menu. G could offcourse also be enabled in the dash but that would just result in a unnecesary 0 MB notification for a lot of users in the dash.
I just wondered if there was a way to make copy a different dash setting file based upon what option was taken.
i haven't really kept up with nkpatcher, but i'm subbed to this thread, and have been since you released it. Using 1.0 as the basis, i wondered if it were possible to have 2 seperate ini files, one marked UnleashX06, the other unleashx067. which ever one got copied would be based upon which one got used.
but in hindsight, not everyone who uses 0.67 would have 200+gb hard drives, so yeah, you're right

That's a great idea, however (and i could be wrong here) i think that has more to do with the way NDure itself works, and maybe not how krazyie's installer works....
Of course, it's a LITTLE late to be making any more requests out of Krazyie for this....the beta is out and being tested already.

Never too late to make requests....beta is still no final.
I think I will set the bootorder for the altdash to:
1: E:\dashboard\altdash\
2: E:\apps\altdash\
3: E:\apps\xbmc\
This could be done very easily and then everybody should be happy as they can put it where they want.
I however skipped the tri-state boots in the 1st beta cuz I never heard anyone about it. If there are people that want them I can still implement them rather easy. (tri-altdash,tri-msdash,tri-livedash)

Never too late to make requests....beta is still no final.
I think I will set the bootorder for the altdash to:
1: E:\dashboard\altdash\
2: E:\apps\altdash\
3: E:\apps\xbmc\
This could be done very easily and then everybody should be happy as they can put it where they want.
I however skipped the tri-state boots in the 1st beta cuz I never heard anyone about it. If there are people that want them I can still implement them rather easy. (tri-altdash,tri-msdash,tri-livedash)
i like this setup....of course, i'd need the caps for all use OCD ppl....I'd like the tri boots in...i never used it for an install, but if the different options were there, i'd use it in place of dual boot.
nice job krayzie....almost bought a copy of MA to help test, i'm ITCHING for this

Hey Krayz...
How hard is it to incorporate a custom UnleashX.ini file into the installer? i organize my emulators according to maker, then by release date, and i have it setup so that UnleashX doesn't make up it's own mind to change my orders around.
thanx again
Post by: blackdir on January 12, 2006, 02:19:00 AM
just a curiosity: where the shadow C is actually located on xbox drive?
I browsed - as said just for learning - both C and E but I was not able to identify it....
thanks,
blackdir
Post by: manturafs on January 12, 2006, 07:59:00 AM
Well the first thing is to figure out what softmod you have. Even if you can ftp into it, replacing the files might not do anything if you are working with a shadow c. Figure out which gamesave you are working with (MA, SC, AUF) and load the gamesave. Who knows, the gamesave might have an uninstall feature.
Once you know you are looking at your real xbox files, delete everything on F, delete everything on E except udata and tdata, and delete everything on c and replace the files with the files from slayers disc (extract the iso from the usual places and you will find the stock files under system\all\c). That will return your xbox essentially to stock.
You could also, like said before, just read the readme from slayers. You can burn the disk, load it up by powering off/on, and then go to menu item 4B2-3 to restore retail hd back to factory.
Post by: krayzie on January 12, 2006, 11:04:00 AM
slayers will not load unless you sign it habibi
Edit: or just load up to the save menu and gain ftp acces and replace the C with a retail C (which you can extract from slayers iso)

It's on the actual c drive. you can't access it from modded mode, so you will not be able to see it. when you can access it, you can't edit it's contents.

The safest way is to coldboot (put your game in the drive, close drive, power off xbox, power on your xbox with power button). This way the exploit is not triggered.

Hey Krayzie, first would like to thank you for all your time you've spent on this project of yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) However, I seem to have problems with the final installation of the mod. I'm currently using your 1.0 PAL Splinter Cell version; I'm able to back up the eeprom and install the mod fine. However the problem comes when it says that the only thing left now is activating your shadow C, You will be taken to the activation screen automatically. When I press ok the console turns off, but when I next boot it up I get the message: "Your Xbox requires service. Please call Xbox customer support" and the light on the Xbox flashes Green & Red. I'm then unable to use any of the options like turn off soft mod when booted back to the exploit so I'm just left with uninstall mod. I've tried a few times but still the same problem.
Just wondering if you can help me come over this obstacle, thanks!
Was it ever softmodded before? you could load the exploit then ftp eeprom to your pc and use xboxhdm and the stock C: files off of slayers to rebuild the drive then lock it back up and then you shouldnt have any problems.
Post by: DaFilthee on January 24, 2006, 08:15:00 AM
I tried this 3 times and it will not work. I recopied the saved games from my computer to the memory card, and still no go. The data is not corrupted because I tried it on another xbox since the broken one and it was successful.
Any ideas why it doesn't load the checkpoint in Splinter Cell (yes, it is the original game that has worked every time before)? The xbox was never modded in any way before.
Thanks for all your hard work, krayzie. Hopefully we can find a solution or the 1.1 version will work for this box.

Do you have a router?
Is DHCP enabled on your Xbox's settings?
if you are using UnleashX and the basic skin, you should be able to see the IP address of the xbox on your screen. It will say IP: 192.168.-.--- or something similar.
using flashfxp on your windows pc, type that address into the "Quick Connect" area for Address. user and pass is "xbox" without the quotes. Sometimes it helps to use Passive mode.

I've used the rescue disc before, but i use it more "genericly"
i take the basic (unmodded) C drive files, the dashboard, and the save games and put those on the disc. This way, should anyone need/want to, they can unmod their system, say if the mod goes haywire.
i COULD make the rescue disc remod the system, but i felt that wouldn't be too smart since each person has a different eeprom. i'd have to make a different disc for each mod, where as this way i can just make a single disc for everyone and remod with the same game.
On a side note:
Krayzie: any word about the missing Live features yet? i'm very curious as to how we can get those back, such as voice chat, etc.
Also, with the Extras disc, there isn't a need for NDTS anymore, right?

Well, looking at things, it seems that maybe some of the offcial MS/LiveDash is either disabled or missing, causing the issue....i can't think of a logical reason for it to not work the way things are done.
NDTS was NDure Tool Set, which was how i got that new eeprom flashed to my system. it bypassed the ShadowC.img file, and i believe with the Extras disc it isn't nessescery anymore, but i want confirmation before i start removing it from my install package.

Indeed and as long as I don't understand what is wrong or how these things work I cannot do anything about it. If someone who has the problem can explain it thoroughly and wants to help me on a person to person base to explain and test then maybe we can work something out. Again I have no live on my xbox1 and I am not able to test anything about it.
I'm sure it can be overcome with anything that switches to complete retail state but unfortunately I skipped the switch off option in my suspection of not needing it anymore. A fix is ofcourse simple I just have to look into it a couple of minutes.

you could also try reading the readme and nfo file instead of 912 posts.....
you don't need to install the livedash for only live playing...you could also install dual msdash or just coldboot your retail game. tri is the same as dual inly with an extra possibility of loading a habibi signed disc

@Scrufdog: that's strange. That dummy file is copied every single time the extras is launched and unleashx.xbe should be there too everytime. so you should get that error again when you relaunch it and so would all the other users.

I've succesfully sofmodded my xbox using SC PAL and this installer (absolutely painless, thx for this great job Krayzie).
Now I wanted to upgrade my hard drive and I found this very nice tutorial from someone who softmodded his xbox using SID.
I would like to know if I should backup the C drive while in the UleashX that comes up at boot time or from the one that comes with the extras to avoid the virtual C. Is there any difference at all?.
Thx a lot again for this nice piece of work.
Here is a quick and easy answer.
I believe Kingroach has a link in his sig that gives a VERY good tut on how to setup a hard drive using XBoxhd.
Follow that for the most part.
When it comes to copying the the C drive files, you have 2 ways to go
1. Premodded C
2. Unmodded C
If you go with 1, enter into the Extras folder, use Professional Mode, then FTP into your box and copy the C drive shown there into the C folder in the Linux folder of xboxhd.
Copy all of your E drive into the E Folder as well.
Make ANOTHER copy of your Eeprom.bin file and place that in the Eeprom folder.
Make the ISO and burn it to DVD-R/RW. Boot that disc up in a PC, run option 1, follow the instructions. Reboot, then run option 3 and at the command prompt type "lockhd -a" without the quotes. follow the on screen instructions again. when done, turn off the PC and plug the drive into the xbox to test. Should be premodded and work right away.
Keep in mind that this disc is only good for that 1 particular xbox because of the eeprom lock. You could also make a "Generic" disc like i have....no eeprom in the eeprom folder....and then use an RW disc to burn a specific eeprom to lock each drive to. real time saver as it takes 2 min to burn a disc with just the eeprom (no e drive). You can also use the same disc to unlock the other drive before sending it away.
Don't forget to enter into the extras and update the eeprom, otherwise some settings will not "stick"
if you go with 2, you can copy the C files from your backups or from the C drive directly by just turning it on and FTP'ing. Remember to copy fresh versions of the Game Saves into the drive. This ensures that your save game isn't corrupted

I used the same tut to upgrade my HD. I just FTP'd all the files from C and E. It worked fine except when I first booted after installing the new drive, I could only boot to the stock dashboard. I just re-ran the installer and all was fine -- none of my data was lost, it was all still on the E drive.
Does anyone have an idea why that would've happened? It probably does have to do with the shadow C, right? I hadn't even thought of that until I read that post.
Yes.
Next time, if you want to start out modded, enter the extras Professional mode and then FTP. you'll notice a couple of other files, including ShadowC.img

ps krayzie... im naming my kid after you. ::bows::
yes, you have to create an account first.
using krayzie's extras, install a multiboot for LiveDash. when finished, power up the system with the eject button. this will give you a live enabled LiveDash to make your account. since you only have a 2 month, i suggest keeping your altdash as LiveDash to make easy changes

Since you are using 1.0 the error 21 is easy fixable by taking the restore msdash optin in the installer. And for the live acount switch the exploit off first (but only after you solved the error21)
Post by: Monte2 on March 13, 2006, 10:32:00 AM
Thank you for using your time and skills to put your installer together for everyone.
Just because exploits don't have the $$$ attached doesn't mean they don't bring anything to the scene.
If it wasn't for your hard work, we wouldn't have it so easy.
THANKS KRAYZIE!

yes i got it to work.... kinda. i restored the msdash as krayzie suggested. then loaded the exploit again and turned off the softmod. rebooted then i could sign up for live etc.. made my live account.. then i reloaded to turn the softmod back on so i could eject to xlive safemode everything went great! only one problem
when i eject to safemode for xlive whenever i go to 'fiends' it goes to a black sceen again... ;/ the only way that i can go back is to repeat the above process - go in use the xplot turn off the softmod to reg dash then do xlive stuff..
is there a way that i wont have to do the explot every single time to view my fiends list/messages etc... while NOT in a game?
edit: also when im in ony unleash x dash i see i have 175 free in my c:\ is that right cuz i reaed something about shadow c making it like next to empty? or does that only apply when i boot to m$ dash? and it says my G is non existant unless i open pxx hdloader and i have 13 gigs still free of my 55 or something.
Friends list and voice chat do not function. you'd have to turn off the mod each time in order to use those functions.
as for G drive, go into the Settings in unleash x, go to Storage, and find the option to Enable G Drive. Turn that to Yes, reboot, and you're golden.
i'm guessing my version of the the exploits are outdated, since i didn't have the option to turn off the mod. can you confirm, Krayzie?

I defer to Ndure protagonist's superior knowledge....though i must ask how he gets it to function using Krayzie's installer.
because as far as i have been able to tell, my statement about Friend's List and Voice Chat not working with the mod enabled, which is directly related to Krayzie's installer and ONLY to krayzie's installer (Hence my posting in the topic title "Krayzie Ndure Installer (gamesave Style), without any changes to the installer made by the end user, has been proven true.
Several times.
Ndure Protagonist, we have been asking on this thread since krayzie's NDure 1.1 came out how to use the Friend's List and Voice Chat functions with this particular installer. No answers have come from Krayzie as he hasn't used live with his original xbox, and has no point of reference as to what the rest of us are talking about. Screenshots have been shown, but he can't help us. And he's done supurb work as it is.
If you know something we don't, would you mind telling the rest of us? We certainly appreciate the work everyone has put in, but answers like "You are mistaken...." do not exactly help the rest of us out.
Please elaborate for us how you made Krayzie's Ndure Installer 1.1 work with voicechat and friend's list, and tell me how i'm mistaken.

Your dash is stock again, as you had requested.

What is the purpose of the reboot to activate the shadow C?
The reason I ask is, I'm wanting to take the entire C/E contents post-NDURE, and put them on my xboxhdm install. In theory, this should work, but I've never done a manual shadow C before.
Barring that, do you think this would work with a copy of all the contents just before the reboot? So after xboxhdm, it will be at the activation part?
Thanks in advance.

now there is a easy way to disable the shadowC and virtual EEPROM for making system changes.
just put any file named shadowC_off.bin and/or EEPROM_off.bin in the root of E:\

So, if I'm reading this right, I could simply turn off the shadow on the softmodded drive, make the image, then after I run xboxhdm and install the HD, I could just delete the files on E:, and I'd be set?

I don't have an extras folder.... is that 1.1 specific?
yes it is. upgrade to 1.1 if you can.
if you can't, you'll have to find Kinroach's NDure Installer, unzip on your PC, then find the folder called NDTS (NDure Tool Set).
ftp that folder to your apps, reboot your box, and run it. the system light should turn red, but you should be at your dashboard's main menu.
look in the file explorer and check out the c drive. if you see a file called ShadowC.img, you're looking at your ACTUAL C drive. copy all the files via FTP and place in the xboxhd C folder.
keep in mind: with 1.0, you can't update the virtual eeprom in the normal way. if you want to install this package on another xbox, you will have to update the eeprom manually, or some settings that are eeprom dependant (mainly audio type and screen settings) will not "stick." I do not know how to manually update the virtual eeprom.
Failing to update the eeprom will mean that to get full function you would have to uninstall the mod and then remod the system, making it a total waste of time to do the C image this way in the first place.
I maintain my suggestion, which makes it easy to install a new drive on any system: Use a Stock 5960 C drive, copy your apps, emulators, and personalized settings/dashboard to the E drive along with a virgin TDATA folder and a UDATA folder that ONLY has the exploit save files on it. create this disc as a generic, then use a CD-rw or DVD-RW to create and eeprom spesific disc to lock the drive each time. takes a lot less time to burn when you have a spesific eeprom disc with nothing else on it (no C, no E). since it's rewriteable you aren't wasting a ton of media either. Do rewriteables for both and you can update regularly.
This method gives you a premade hard drive with all your apps and settings "Hidden" on the E drive, and a stock C drive. install the drive after locking and pop in your exploit disc. run the mod and you are done.
Final note: if you use your own version of the dashboard (some like XBMC, others like me customize Unleash X), place it on the E drive folder and name it Dashboard2. When the box is modded, you can easily delete the Dashboard folder and then rename Dashboard2 to Dashboard. IGR and your settings are all up, ready to go.

That's pretty much the setup I have now. I was hoping to remove as much of the process as possible, though... it seems redundant to build a stock drive THEN mod it, when I'm already moving files around....
I usually just make a generic disk, then put EEPROM's on floppies.
I'll see if I can get on xbins and check out 1.1
You'd still have to do things with the drive anyway....set up your dashboard settings the way you want it, set up your multiboots, etc. even if all that was done on your premod disc, you'd STILL have to update the virtual eeprom. redundency aside, it doesn't take that long to reset up the mod, and i feel that it's a bit of extra insurance to help you know you did it right.
if ANYONE gets on xbins, please let me know. i've been trying to update my emulators package.

Krayzie_Ndure_Installer_v1.1
The save:
*********
The save(s) come zipped up for direct use on Action Replay devices. If you don't use Action replay you need to unzip the save
first.
Note that many Action Replay cards corrupt large saves which results in a black or error 21 screen. Solution could be to use
a small gamesave exploit to grant access to the hd and copy this save to the E:\UDATA folder via ftp, Or use another memory
card.
Copy the save to the Xbox HD using the known ways. (via memory unit, action replay, USB device or hotswap)
Load the save through the exploited game and follow the on screen instructions.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT!!!!:
The 007 version needs to be loaded a certain way in order to get the save working otherwise it will just boot to a black
screen. When you get to the load game screen DONT'T select load game but start a new one. Then when you reached the actual
game (after the cutscene), hit the start button and select quit game, Then go back to the load game screen and this time
select "load game".
The Installer will backup the C partition of your Xbox in the installation process. Therefore it's needed to have at least
200 MB of free space on the E partition (12,800 blocks). This should normally be available with any Xbox but some people like
to fill up their entire harddrive with songs or downloadable content. When doubting check the memory tab.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Main menu (install menu):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1st Backup eeprom:
FIRST always backup the eeprom. This is the most important file to keep when you're doing softmods. It contains all kinds of
specific information about that one xbox. It is needed to continue with the rest of the install (unless you use the upgrade
from 1.0 option).
--remove eeprom backup:
This option will remove the eeprom backup. This could be helpful if you want the HD back to its original state.
-Copy eeprom to MU:
This option will copy the eeprom backup to a memory unit. This could be useful if you don't have ftp and still want to keep
your eeprom backup safe.
-Minimum install:
This will install the Ndure exploit without any requirements. It doesn't matter what dash version you have or if you have
left overs from a previous softmod. Downside of this is that you can't use any multiboots that require the msdash or
livedash. But you can easily add a MSdash later on to make these options available using the Extras feature.
-Basic install:
This will get your xbox modded with a basic setup. This requires having a standard 5960 dashboard installed. Any leftover
mod files from previous softmods might cause errors.
-Upgrade from 1.0:
This will upgrade from Krayzie Ndure Installer v1.0. It will only upgrade the exploit files. Your dashboard, backups and
virtual C remains intact.
-Restore from rescue disc:
This option will remove the exploit files and lets you select what parts of the xbox you want to restore from a rescue disc.
For how to create such a disc read the Rescue disc section.
-Switch menu:
This option will change the install menu to the one that you see when it's fully installed. ONLY use this option if you
already installed this package but somehow deleted and/or replaced the Installer.
2nd menu (restore menu):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This menu will show up when the softmod is installed and you reload the save again (either via the game or the Extras option)
-restore from HD backup:
This option will remove all files installed with this installer using the automatically created backup. Additional files like
APPS, GAMES and EMUS folders will NOT be removed! If you want the hd to be stock you will have to remove anything on E:
besides TDATA, UDATA, BACKUPS and DASHBOARD. This option requires an UNTOUCHED Cdrive backup directory in E:\backups!
DO NOT SELECT THIS OPTION IF NO SUCH DIRECTORY EXITS ON YOUR E DRIVE OR YOU CHANGED THE CONTENTS.
-Restore from rescue disc:
See above in main menu. It's the same option.
-Specify fonts:
Use this option if you (sometimes) experience boot problems like hanging at the logo screen. Be sure to pick the right kernel
for your system.
The Extras folder/disc:
***********************
The Extras can be used to further customize your softmod like dualboots, led, control and video modes. It also offers a load
of other features like formatting, dashboard management (backup/test/replace/restore) and professional mode (to use apps
without virtual eeprom/C partition). Since many features of the extras are not meant to be messed around with you will be
asked for a passcode on different occasions. This ensures little children and other people to not go in the Extras menu.
(All passcodes are button sequence: AYBX)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I will not explain all features here because that just would be too much. Every option has an explaining text box as soon as
you take it and asks you to proceed. If you don't like it just select no.
This Extras feature can be used in two ways:
-copy the Extras folder to E:\Apps (no other location) and launch it via the dashboard.
To launch extras just select "Krayzie Extras" out of the Apps menu of your dashboard. This will get you to a pre-Extras menu
in where you can launch the Extras menu (passcode protected) or use the format options (also passcode protected).
-Make an xbox iso out of the folder and burn it to disc and run it on the xbox.
You could do this if you don't have ftp to copy the Extras folder to E:\Apps or want to make your personal autoinstaller
disc that copies your own personal Apps or Emulators. In that case just fill the Apps and Emulators folders in the Extras
folder with your favourite Apps and Emulators before you burn it. Then when you run the disc you can select the "copy
Apps/Emulators from disc" option.
To launch the Extras menu you NEED to copy the Extras to HD first (using the "Copy Extras from disc" option).
In this pre-Extras menu you can also launch the save for the right exploitable game. This might be easy if you want to enter
the saves menu and don't feel like actually putting in the disc. This feature is also passcode protected.
Changing your dashboard:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another useful feature in the Extras menu is the Replace dashboard feature. To use this just copy the Dashboard you want to
use in the DASHBOARD folder in the Extras directory. Make sure it's xbe is named default.xbe. To ensure the dash works like
it should you can first TEST the dash using the "Test new dash" option. If it loads well you can then use the "Replace Dash"
option. This will only work if you picked the "Backup current dash option".
Adding MSdash files in a minimum installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So you picked the minimum install options and would like the dualboot features that require the MSdashboard.
No problem. Just get yourself a copy of a 5960 dashboard and put the files in the MSDASHBOARD folder in the Extras directory.
Then select the "Add MSdash function" option. It will check if the right files are present in the folder and then begin
adding the right files in the right location. When done you can immediately customize your softmod with a nice dual/tri
retail boot.
The Rescue disc:
****************
This may be nice to recover from messed up systems (or even to set up bigger hd's).
In your rescue disc folder you will find three folders which you can use to put files in:
C drive: In this folder you should put the files you wish to use to replace the C contents. This could either be stock files
(from HD backup, slayer's AID disc etc.) or it could be modded files (gathered from pc backups in modded state).
E drive: In this folder you should put the files you wish to use to replace the E contents. This could either be stock files
(savegame folders: TDATA and UDATA) or it could be modded files (gathered from pc backups in modded state).
Dashboard: In this folder you could put a dashboard in case the dashboard on the Xbox is gone or damaged. the dashboard
folder on E will be replaced by the dashboard folder on this disc. You can put any dashboard in here as long as it's
executable is named default.xbe
So basically:
To recover to stock:
Put stock files in C drive folder.
Fill the E drive folder with the UDATA and TDATA backups from your Xbox. If you didn't back them up you could try to get ftp
access prior to using this option and ftp over the UDATA and TDATA folder from your Xbox. If you don't have or want any
backups you could just leave the UDATA and TDATA folders empty. There should be no folders other then TDATA and UDATA present
if you are reverting to stock.
In the disc menu choose the restore system option.
To recover to modded state:
Put full C drive backup from modded unprotected state in C drive folder. (You can get the full C drive files by ftping in
from the gamesave installer's menu).
Put full E drive backup in E drive folder.
In the disc menu choose the restore system option.
To recover dashboard
Put dashboard in dashboard folder. (dash's xbe named default.xbe)
In the disc menu choose the restore dashboard option.
Setting the network settings: (in case you want ftp access)
You will have to do this prior to burning the disc because they can't be edited while running from disc. Default is set to
DHCP. To do this open the xml file and edit the network settings to your likings.
Burning xbox discs:
Make an Xbox iso from the Rescue disc or Extras folder. You can use any Xbox image creator app for this.
I prefer Qwix (http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/).
Then burn the iso as an image using any disc burning app.
!!!Make sure you use discs you know your Xbox can read!!!
Couple of things you should know:
*****************************************************************************************************************************
The default network settings is set to DHCP (automatic receive IP from router). If you don't have a router or just wish to
have a static IP you need to adjust that in the dashboard otherwise it won't be active on retail
(cold)boots and you won't be able to log into live.
The exploited save itself belongs on the hd at any time. It's an important safety backdoor for when anything goes wrong and
it will save you from (hot)swapping your hd. So therefore it's recommended to not delete it.
It is very recommended to copy the eeprom backup to the pc and keep it safe as soon as possible.

The save:
*********
The save(s) come zipped up for direct use on Action Replay devices. If you don't use Action replay you need to unzip the save
first.
Note that many Action Replay cards corrupt large saves which results in a black or error 21 screen. Solution could be to use
a small gamesave exploit to grant access to the hd and copy this save to the E:\UDATA folder via ftp, Or use another memory
card.
Copy the save to the Xbox HD using the known ways. (via memory unit, action replay, USB device or hotswap)
Load the save through the exploited game and follow the on screen instructions.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT!!!!:
The 007 version needs to be loaded a certain way in order to get the save working otherwise it will just boot to a black
screen. When you get to the load game screen DONT'T select load game but start a new one. Then when you reached the actual
game (after the cutscene), hit the start button and select quit game, Then go back to the load game screen and this time
select "load game".
The Installer will backup the C partition of your Xbox in the installation process. Therefore it's needed to have at least
200 MB of free space on the E partition (12,800 blocks). This should normally be available with any Xbox but some people like
to fill up their entire harddrive with songs or downloadable content. When doubting check the memory tab.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Main menu (install menu):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1st Backup eeprom:
FIRST always backup the eeprom. This is the most important file to keep when you're doing softmods. It contains all kinds of
specific information about that one xbox. It is needed to continue with the rest of the install (unless you use the upgrade
from 1.0 option).
--remove eeprom backup:
This option will remove the eeprom backup. This could be helpful if you want the HD back to its original state.
-Copy eeprom to MU:
This option will copy the eeprom backup to a memory unit. This could be useful if you don't have ftp and still want to keep
your eeprom backup safe.
-Minimum install:
This will install the Ndure exploit without any requirements. It doesn't matter what dash version you have or if you have
left overs from a previous softmod. Downside of this is that you can't use any multiboots that require the msdash or
livedash. But you can easily add a MSdash later on to make these options available using the Extras feature.
-Basic install:
This will get your xbox modded with a basic setup. This requires having a standard 5960 dashboard installed. Any leftover
mod files from previous softmods might cause errors.
-Upgrade from 1.0:
This will upgrade from Krayzie Ndure Installer v1.0. It will only upgrade the exploit files. Your dashboard, backups and
virtual C remains intact.
-Restore from rescue disc:
This option will remove the exploit files and lets you select what parts of the xbox you want to restore from a rescue disc.
For how to create such a disc read the Rescue disc section.
-Switch menu:
This option will change the install menu to the one that you see when it's fully installed. ONLY use this option if you
already installed this package but somehow deleted and/or replaced the Installer.
2nd menu (restore menu):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This menu will show up when the softmod is installed and you reload the save again (either via the game or the Extras option)
-restore from HD backup:
This option will remove all files installed with this installer using the automatically created backup. Additional files like
APPS, GAMES and EMUS folders will NOT be removed! If you want the hd to be stock you will have to remove anything on E:
besides TDATA, UDATA, BACKUPS and DASHBOARD. This option requires an UNTOUCHED Cdrive backup directory in E:\backups!
DO NOT SELECT THIS OPTION IF NO SUCH DIRECTORY EXITS ON YOUR E DRIVE OR YOU CHANGED THE CONTENTS.
-Restore from rescue disc:
See above in main menu. It's the same option.
-Specify fonts:
Use this option if you (sometimes) experience boot problems like hanging at the logo screen. Be sure to pick the right kernel
for your system.
The Extras folder/disc:
***********************
The Extras can be used to further customize your softmod like dualboots, led, control and video modes. It also offers a load
of other features like formatting, dashboard management (backup/test/replace/restore) and professional mode (to use apps
without virtual eeprom/C partition). Since many features of the extras are not meant to be messed around with you will be
asked for a passcode on different occasions. This ensures little children and other people to not go in the Extras menu.
(All passcodes are button sequence: AYBX)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I will not explain all features here because that just would be too much. Every option has an explaining text box as soon as
you take it and asks you to proceed. If you don't like it just select no.
This Extras feature can be used in two ways:
-copy the Extras folder to E:\Apps (no other location) and launch it via the dashboard.
To launch extras just select "Krayzie Extras" out of the Apps menu of your dashboard. This will get you to a pre-Extras menu
in where you can launch the Extras menu (passcode protected) or use the format options (also passcode protected).
-Make an xbox iso out of the folder and burn it to disc and run it on the xbox.
You could do this if you don't have ftp to copy the Extras folder to E:\Apps or want to make your personal autoinstaller
disc that copies your own personal Apps or Emulators. In that case just fill the Apps and Emulators folders in the Extras
folder with your favourite Apps and Emulators before you burn it. Then when you run the disc you can select the "copy
Apps/Emulators from disc" option.
To launch the Extras menu you NEED to copy the Extras to HD first (using the "Copy Extras from disc" option).
In this pre-Extras menu you can also launch the save for the right exploitable game. This might be easy if you want to enter
the saves menu and don't feel like actually putting in the disc. This feature is also passcode protected.
Changing your dashboard:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another useful feature in the Extras menu is the Replace dashboard feature. To use this just copy the Dashboard you want to
use in the DASHBOARD folder in the Extras directory. Make sure it's xbe is named default.xbe. To ensure the dash works like
it should you can first TEST the dash using the "Test new dash" option. If it loads well you can then use the "Replace Dash"
option. This will only work if you picked the "Backup current dash option".
Adding MSdash files in a minimum installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So you picked the minimum install options and would like the dualboot features that require the MSdashboard.
No problem. Just get yourself a copy of a 5960 dashboard and put the files in the MSDASHBOARD folder in the Extras directory.
Then select the "Add MSdash function" option. It will check if the right files are present in the folder and then begin
adding the right files in the right location. When done you can immediately customize your softmod with a nice dual/tri
retail boot.
The Rescue disc:
****************
This may be nice to recover from messed up systems (or even to set up bigger hd's).
In your rescue disc folder you will find three folders which you can use to put files in:
C drive: In this folder you should put the files you wish to use to replace the C contents. This could either be stock files
(from HD backup, slayer's AID disc etc.) or it could be modded files (gathered from pc backups in modded state).
E drive: In this folder you should put the files you wish to use to replace the E contents. This could either be stock files
(savegame folders: TDATA and UDATA) or it could be modded files (gathered from pc backups in modded state).
Dashboard: In this folder you could put a dashboard in case the dashboard on the Xbox is gone or damaged. the dashboard
folder on E will be replaced by the dashboard folder on this disc. You can put any dashboard in here as long as it's
executable is named default.xbe
So basically:
To recover to stock:
Put stock files in C drive folder.
Fill the E drive folder with the UDATA and TDATA backups from your Xbox. If you didn't back them up you could try to get ftp
access prior to using this option and ftp over the UDATA and TDATA folder from your Xbox. If you don't have or want any
backups you could just leave the UDATA and TDATA folders empty. There should be no folders other then TDATA and UDATA present
if you are reverting to stock.
In the disc menu choose the restore system option.
To recover to modded state:
Put full C drive backup from modded unprotected state in C drive folder. (You can get the full C drive files by ftping in
from the gamesave installer's menu).
Put full E drive backup in E drive folder.
In the disc menu choose the restore system option.
To recover dashboard
Put dashboard in dashboard folder. (dash's xbe named default.xbe)
In the disc menu choose the restore dashboard option.
Setting the network settings: (in case you want ftp access)
You will have to do this prior to burning the disc because they can't be edited while running from disc. Default is set to
DHCP. To do this open the xml file and edit the network settings to your likings.
Burning xbox discs:
Make an Xbox iso from the Rescue disc or Extras folder. You can use any Xbox image creator app for this.
I prefer Qwix (http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/).
Then burn the iso as an image using any disc burning app.
!!!Make sure you use discs you know your Xbox can read!!!
Couple of things you should know:
*****************************************************************************************************************************
The default network settings is set to DHCP (automatic receive IP from router). If you don't have a router or just wish to
have a static IP you need to adjust that in the dashboard otherwise it won't be active on retail
(cold)boots and you won't be able to log into live.
The exploited save itself belongs on the hd at any time. It's an important safety backdoor for when anything goes wrong and
it will save you from (hot)swapping your hd. So therefore it's recommended to not delete it.
It is very recommended to copy the eeprom backup to the pc and keep it safe as soon as possible.

2 SC Saves?
WTF
Which needs to be transferred to a memory unit? SC Save 1 or 2 or both, alot of the files look the same, and even then do i just unzip the zip and straightaway drag over the UDATA folder or do i go into the UDATA folder and drag over the files inside?
Thanks
-BxN
Both need to be transfered. i use 2 memory cards, but you can also copy one then format and copy the other.

how do i know wut dash version do i have ?
If you have a virgin xbox, in the dashboard go to settings then sytem info and then wait for the menu to scroll down until you see something like:
K 1.00.xxxx.01 (this xxxx is your kernall)
D 1.00.xxxx.01 (this xxxx is your dash)
Post by: willjzuke on March 17, 2006, 01:18:00 PM
I unzipped the 1.1 MA save. I already have a previous MA folder on UDATA which includes a normal gamesave, saveimage.xbx, titleimage.xbx, titlemeta.xbx and the ltools 1.7.5 folder which is the same name as yours: "62D648EBF155". I need to have ltools running to FTP your save into the HD. Then I planned on uninstalling the UDE and going back to premod (5960dash) to game exploit then install your Ndure. Is it ok if I rename your "62D648EBF155" folder to say... "62D648EBF156" then just add it in with the others or will this throw everything off?
Also, in your extras, what is dvdx and does it need to be unRAR?
Post by: krayzie on March 17, 2006, 02:04:00 PM
and in the extras you don't need to unrar anything. dvdx2 is a dvd player app

It's not dangerous to delete ltools save while its running?
I uninstalled UDE. To be safe should I C-restore since or is that unnecessary? I still have tHc on the C but don't mind getting rid of it. Also, does that means I should I delete modified E such as "backup_linux," "BiosLD," and "CACHE"(i'm not sure if ltools tweaked CACHE or not)?
no deleting while running makes no difference. Once it's running it's running from memory and cache and deleting it makes no changes untill you reboot.
and for a basic install the C needs to be in completely stock state so no dashes or anything else that don't belong there. On E it would not be completely necesarry to remove those folder but they do not serve ofg any use either. It may be wiser to delete them though since it might take up space which is needed for the ndure installer's backup. cache will be deleted anyway during install.

I have a Krayzie Ndure 1.0 softmodded only xbox which is working very well (thank you Krayzie!)
When I did the softmod I used the MA savegame which worked fine and it is still on my HD as an "emergency backdoor" (just to have ftp capabilities in case I screw up with an XBMC upgrade for example)
Now, I'd like to upgrade my softmod to Krayzie Ndure 1.1 via the upgrade option. My idea was to FTP to my UDATA directory the new MA savegame (which I found in the Krayzie Ndure rar package) and then run it, but i realized (as willjzuke also posted) that it has the same name than Ndure 1.0 and therefore I'm forced to overwrite my "emergency backdoor".
Is there a way that I can use to ftp savegame 1.1 without overwriting savegame 1.0? (as you can immagine I'm kind of scared to remove my emergency tool: it will be like to jump without parachute)
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
blackdir
I don't think you guys get the concept. Let's break it down in pieces
state 1: You have an xbox with a working Ndure 1.0 install and the 1.0 ndure save as an emergency backdoor.
in this state you have the save as a backdoor but it isn't really needed as long as you stay off of any things that mess with the softmods
Therefore in this state you can safely remove the 1.0 save and directly after that transfer the 1.1 save over and this will lead to state 2: (it is recommended to extract the main zip file and replace the saves via ftp located in the e:\udata folder) IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED TO FIRST REMOVE THE OLD 1.0 SAVE(S) COMPLETELY
state 2: You now have a working ndure 1.0 install and the 1.1 save. In this situation the 1.1 save still acts as an emergency backdoor as it will grant you ftp acces which is the most important part. Further more the rescue disc option, the switch menu and restore option of this save are still functional with the 1.0 install.
In this state 2 you are not 100% certain if the save will work offcourse so untill you actually loaded it it is very much not recommended to alter anything about the softmod
Then to upgrade you can safely load the new save by launching the game (or launching it via the extras app/disc) and then select the upgrade function
Post by: willjzuke on March 18, 2006, 07:33:00 PM
I spent a good 5 hours figuring out how to connect and upgrade my dash to 5960 before the install. The only way I can link to the internet is a direct connection to the cable modem (there is only one port on the whole modem). Took me long enough to figure out how the network settings had to be configured (xbox's IP, sub mask, gateway, both DNS servers, host name, and MAC address had to be copied exactly from the PC ipconfig). Now, that UX is up and running I want to dl skins and update the dash but I can't connect by using neither the default network settings, my PC's settings, nor the old (ltools) settings I used with EvoX to get on LinksBoks. I can not connect with UX, LinksBoks, or msdash.
The reason I'm asking you what you think is because I am wondering if this is all this is due to a way the Ndure install is presetup (a bios thing, or etc...). I was under the impression, before install, that msdash live was not allowed as a feature of the exploit to prevent banning. Does that go for other programs, too? Or, how should I try to setup my network connections/config.xml?
PS. I can't figure how to change the MAC address on UX and every time I go back into msdash it changes.

Now before I run the upgrade from 1.0 option I have 2 questions:
a - after softmodding to 1.0 the only significant change I made was to run Enigmah video selector to move from PAL (which was my original xbox video mode) to NTSC and activate HDTV. My krayzie ndure 1.0 softmodded xbox is working perfectly in 720p mode. Would this video mode change affect your upgrade from 1.0 option? i.e. would it be beffer to switch back to PAL (no HDTV) before running the upgrade?
b - currently when I run 1.1 savegame from MA, it shows only 0,55 MB available on C: would it be enough to run your upgrade from 1.0 option?
thanks,

I narrowed down my backup games problem and it seems to happen after i do the krayzie extra's update virtual epprom.
example:
transferred counter strike on the softmodded xbox
played it and it worked
then went to krayzie's extras and updated virtual epprom
and then cold booted xbox and dash works but counter stike gets black screen.
This is the problem I was getting the last week on different games and couldn't narrow down the problem.
Figured I would alert you if you were not aware of this problem.
in the past I would just make my own new virtual epprom but I liked the NEW feature you made ... hope you can figure out what is happening because I really like that NEW feature.
It doesn't happen on all games but I was getting the black screen on enough of the games for me to try to figure out the problem.
p.s. loaded on one of my epproms on the softmod and the game worked again.

Can i suggest something?
Assuming you reflashed the real eeprom, if you've already updated the actual eeprom, why not uninstall the mod and then remod directly with the new eeprom?
i know this doesn't solve the overall problem in the end, but we might be able to find out a little more about the problem this way as well...
Keep in mind that unless Krayzie, or anyone else for that matter, can replicate exactly what you are doing, there really isn't any way anyone can solve the issue.
I also ran into a little bit of a problem last week with Parental Controls not being set high enough to allow the playing of Star Wars and The Sims 2. The games didn't black screen, but they would not start. Longshot, but check that out also, just in case.
So, to reinterate, i gather that you installed a new eeprom properly, rebooted, and then attempted to update the virtual eeprom *OR* you are preinstalling new hard drives based upong an eeprom already used that doesn't match the xbox you are locking the drive to, and then to complete the mod you wish to update the virtual eeprom.
Upon updating the eeprom (message saying that update complete) Counter-Strike will not start.
Have i got it right?

Krayzie....
I think many people have been making the assumption that the Update Virtual Eeprom was there to help aid in doing a preinstalled state, for example, copying the actual C drive files onto a PC and using xboxhd with those files to create a premodded state.
then they figure you can just update the virtual eeprom and have it work. in theory, i assumed it could work this way also, but i felt it was overall just a better idea to do a fresh mod each time.

Further troubleshooting turned up the problem ... it was the epprom hd drive key I made up for the xbox's that was faulty.
I used all 00000's for the hd key ... figureing it would be easy to remember for multiply xbox's.
What is easist hd key that works that so I can use for multiply xbox's ... 99 percent of games worked with all 0000's but some games will not work with it.
So "update virtual epprom" program was not the problem after all ... but the hd key '000000000000"

yep zeroing out the hdkey is no good and makes some games crash (as they use the hdkey for the saves). I think it's best to use an existing hdkey and not a random one to match other xboxes.

yeah well this would work also.....the update virtual eeprom removes the existing eemprom image and replaces it with a fresh one. So people could indeed use 1 C and E backup and then update virtual eeprom to ensure they have the right file there

When ever I try running a dvd with an iso file, the dashboard says it cannot read it. I just want to know if loading a program from an iso is possible and if so, how do I do it. Thanks,
Again, the actual questions are as follows:
1. Is Knoppmyth an Xbox executble file (.xbe)?
2. Are you attempting to RUN a disc with a file on it that is named "InsertNameHere.ISO"?
3. Are you formatting the disc above for the xbox?
it *SOUNDS* like you are mixing up your terms, which is a cause for confusion.
an ISO is an IMAGE file. When you burn the IMAGE to disc, the files CONTAINED in the image file get burnt in the way that the image was formatted.
When you burn the IMAGE FILE to disc, the IMAGE FILE gets burnt as a DATA (ISO 9660) disc. You would open the directory on the disc and see "InsertNameHere.ISO" instead of the files contained in the image.
So, to solve all your problems:
1. If Knoppmyth is not an xbox executable file (.xbe), don't bother attempting to run it. You've already failed.
2. If you are burning a disc and you can read that disc in the PC and see "InserNameHere.ISO" instead of "KnoppmythXboxProgram.xbe" (that was an example), then you have created a DATA disc. Start over and burn the image with Alcohol to prevent this mistake.
3. If you burn the disc with Alcohol and find the xbox won't read it, then give up on that file. your ISO image file is NOT meant for use in the xbox. You'll have to format it using Qwix.
EITHER WAY
Krayzie's Installer is about softmodding the xbox itself, NOT about running programs on a softmodded box. You are confusing yourself, and in the process confusing others. Stop what you are doing and go back to the main forums. Look for topics that match what you are asking about (backup creation, programs that run on the xbox, Dashboard forums that tell you if a dashboard can "read and iso file", etc).
If none of this makes any sense to you, please go back to the Newbies forum.

I am aware that I have to burn it as an iso image, which I have. I probably have been though every tutorial there is on softmoding an xbox. I have found instruction on reading an iso image with every linux softmode hack install beside krayzie installer. I just want to know how to read an iso image with this installer package.
Okay, burning ISO files has NOTHING to do with Krayzie's Installer.
In fact, Krayzie's installer has NOTHING to do with READING ISO files. That would be up to the program you are attempting to read the iso from, most likely the Dashboard you have chosen.
ISO - Internation Standards Organization
ISO File - a SINGLE file that acts like an IMAGE of a Disc that can be burnt using Nero or Alcohol to produce a Disc that would have MANY files on it. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BURN THE ISO *FILE* TO THE DISC, BUT RATHER TO BURN THE ISO *IMAGE* TO THE DISC!!!
Example:
1. I have these files:
Game.file
Game 2.file
Game.xbx
2. I create and ISO of those files. The file is named Game.iso, and now in that folder i have this:
Game.iso
Wrong Way
3. I burn the "Game.iso" file to a disc by dragging and dropping to Nero. I can also add my MP3 Collection:
Game.iso
MP3.mp3
MP32.mp3
4. I choose "Burn" in Nero and when i put the disc in, i get directory like this:
Game.iso
MP3.mp3
MP32.mp3
This is what it sounds like you are trying to do!!!
Right Way
3. I burn the Game.iso image to a disc using Alcohol or Image Wizard or DVD Decrypter. I can't add any extra files.
Game.iso
4b. I choose Burn in Alcohol and get a disc that has a directory like this:
Game.file
Game 2.file
Game.xbx
This is what you are supposed to get
Instructions:
Create or Select the iso to burn.
Make certain you know what the image is supposed to run on (xbox iso images have to be formulated in a special way)
Using Alcohol, choose BURNING WIZARD.
Select your ISO FILE
BURN away. Be sure to use DVD-R media for best compatiblity with the Xbox.
upon completion, if your ISO file was meant for the xbox, the xbox will load the disc. If it wasn't, you need to go back to burning school.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If the iso image is supposed to be dvd movie, i have found that Xbox Media Center can play ISO files directly.

Installed DVDx2 through the extras disc & am having a question regarding parental settings. Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered - I saw many posted questions, but no good answers. Every disc I put in gives me a parental settings warning. It asks if I want to play - yes or no. How can I get rid of this annoying screen please. Also, XBMC seems to have trouble reading DVD movies as well. It has a Samsung drive, which usually is the better one to have. Is this specific to the non-chipped xbox vs chipped?
Maybe try google.com for useful information about Xbox parental control...
Seriously, sometimes it even finds helpful posts at this site that X-S's pathetic google search filters out!

Xbox Live upload performance:
Adjusting the MTU settings on your router may give you a better upload rate. Go to your set up page and adjust the MTU setting to 1490. This is found on the filter settings on most routers. MS recommends a setting of at least 1460. Raising it to 1490, then selecting apply and making sure it is enabled should increase your upload speed. Turn off your computer and power down the modem then the router, in that order. Wait for 60 to 90 seconds then plug in the modem and wait until it goes through the boot up process. Then, power up your router and turn on your computer. You should only have to do this one time. Then, go to the connect test on your Xbox and see if the upload has increased.

Playing burned music discs:
Burn music onto a CD-RW (not a CD-R) disc, and close the session when you burn the CD. Place it in your Xbox and rip away.

Console name:
Each Xbox console has a "name" assigned to it at the time of manufacture. To view the name of your system, play Halo link it to another Xbox and choose a linked play party. The Xboxs will have names above their symbols in the pre-game stat screen. To change your name, play challenge mode in Dead Or Alive 3. Successfully complete challenge mode and you will be prompted to enter a record name. Enter the name that you wish to change your pre-assigned Xbox name to. This will now be the title your Xbox is referred to during linked play. Note: Although you cannot delete a name, you can change it again. Keep playing a mode where you can enter a "nickname" in Dead Or Alive 3 and get it to the top of the list.
Alex, Henry Soto, Peltz, and Kevin Fruth.
To see your Xbox name easily, start Halo, go into multi-player mode, choose "Split Screen", "Profile", and "Location". After all that is done, there will be a screen that reads "Waiting for more players". The picture of the Xbox is directly above your profile name, and above your picture will be a word. That word will be used as your name when XBox goes online. This works best when there is only one controller plugged into the Xbox, so the multi-player game will not start before you see your name.

To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Cel Damage. When you enter a valid cheat code in the game, it will also change the name of your Xbox (for example, ENCHILADA!).
ted and cody hobbins.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Moto GP. Your Xbox will be renamed to the profile name used in that game.
To change the name on your Xbox you can also use Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Create an Xbox Live! nickname (you do not have to actually sign up or use it), and that entry will now be your Xbox's name.
Progressive Scan Dashboard:
Note: This requires the Tsunami Xbox Live! update, a high definition monitor, and the High Definition AV pack. Enable the 480p resolution option in the Xbox's video settings. Then press L + R + click Left Analog-stick + click Right Analog-stick to switch at the Dashboard to switch to a progressive scan display.
Reformat hard drive:
Note: Reformatting the hard drive will delete all of your saved games and soundtracks. Go to "Settings" then "System Info". Then, press Y, Left Analog-stick Up, Left Analog-stick Down, X, A.

Alright, i made the jump to an x3 chip, but i only did it for the X3CP, X3IR, and flubber changes. i really won't be using anything else on the chip at all....which means that i want it to run the softmod by default.
I have run into a problem, and i'm not sure where to go with it....when the chip is enabled, i can not get it to run the dashboard.
does anyone have any ideas/instructions to get an X3CE to work with NDure by default? i figure that i'd have to make some changes and probably flash a different (stock?) bios to one of the chip banks, but haven't figured it out yet.

But Krayzie is still right. When you boot a modded bios it removes the feature's of Ndure. You would also not be able to try to get on live either. When your booting modded your using the X3 bios. But you will still be able to boot to the dashboard if you set it up in X3 Config Live. You will also only be able to set it up to boot with quicklaunch only. X3 bios does not support booting from subdirectories.
You could just use Slayers Auto Installer and do a full install with EvoX on C:\evoxdash.xbe and then go into your X3 Config Live and set the dash to boot from C and set the dash name up for "evoxdash.xbe" and then you will boot EvoX. If you do go with Slayers though, make sure you remove Krayzies Installer, when you boot with the chip off his mod will kick in again.

thanx all
EDIT:
Here is what i posted in the mod forum:
I guess what i need is the Soft mod installed for ShadowC and my current setup to remain intact and functional, only with the benefits of the chip, which for me are only superficial....color changing, the LCD screen enabled, the USB enabled, and the IR port.
i figure that i'd have several boot options.....
1 for retail 1.4 (which i hope will lead to krayzie's NDure Installer being able to work correctly, with the LCD on)
1 for retail 1.6 (which i hope will lead to krayzie's NDure Installer being able to work correctly, with the LCD on)
1 bank with the best bios available for the chip in 1.0 - 1.5
1 bank with the best bios available for the chip in 1.6
1 for the flashbios
Possibly 1 for linux?
If i can set the chip up this way, i'd be REALLY happy. the chip's primary purpose was to add the CP, IR, and LCD screen to my 128mb 1.4. The Chip's secondary purpose was to use to repair other systems.
thanx

You can still use the remote if you want. You can change settings in UnleashX.xml to change the default DVD player to the MSDashboard or to XBox Media Center. you may even be able to use the remote in DVDX, but i haven't looked into it yet.
Yes, you can just FTP over the Extras Folder. I put it under E:\Apps\Extras

just ftp over standard msdash files (make sure your led isn't red when you do this) I guess you formatted your C and then used a minimum install to install the softmod which leaves an empty virtual C)

yeah like sugested it may be wiser to just get rid of the installer and let your custom hacked bios boot your dash (you could even edit the bios to boot e:\dashboard\default.xbe). No need for an exploit when you have a chip.
I don't really want to be rid of the installer....i like how clean it is (no need for dashboard files in the root), and i LOVE the virtual eeprom and shadowC features.
i'll probably have to do a little lookin into my own NDure installation at some point, though i think most of the problem i'm having is with the chip/bios

I just totally ranted about my frustrations with the chip, and with some of the people in the scene. It seems to obvious to me, i can't understand why no one else can see it.
the security of the soft mod mixed with the added "goodies" and security features of a mod chip. Unless NKPatcher has a way to change the color of the animation sequence, the only way to get that last lil bit of yummy halo 2 blue xbox goodness is by installing a bios that supports it. The only way to use an LCD is to use a bios that supports it. And if you are like me, you want it all.....Shadow C, virtual Eeprom, locked or unlocked drives, Xbox Live blocking, xbox live compatibility by simply coldbooting, custom flubber animations, clean root directories....the list goes on and on.

Just wanted to say thanks for making this installer and to all the other who posted fixes before I even had to ask how. I was a little frustrated at first just because there are so many ways of getting this to the xbox and none of the attempts seemed to work for me. All I wanted this for was to use XBMC. Finally after getting it to the xbox the process was a snap. I'm a total n00b and it was flawless. Even had to use the fix for loading the extras and worked like a charm. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next update, if there is ever one.

Partly...you cannot disable or edit anything from the bootscreen with softmods. You also cannot disable the dvd check. You can however edit your fan speed in the bios using the extras customization option

And can i also put an EvoxM8 Bios in the Package and softmod it with the M8 Bios ?
It's possible in theory but not really easy. Anyway to clear some up. This package does not use a bios loader and does not load any bios. It patches your existing bios to do exactly what all hacked bioses do and more. If you would load the m8 bios you would take a big step downwards. In fact whenever you acces the extras or the save (when the led turns red) you load a evox m8 bios. Do you have a special need for the m8 bios or something or is it just something you heard of?

Okay, so the file is going across the network to your computer, then to your controller which is plugged into your computer, then to the memory card which is plugged into the controller? Why not just put it on a memory stick from the modded Xbox without bothering with FTP and such? Maybe I read you wrong, I dunno.
Two savegames for SC? You're probably looking at the PAL and NTSC versions. If you're in Aussieland, Britland etc. you'll want PAL, if you're in Amerika you'll be wanting NTSC. Better check specifically if you don't fall into those categories.

No, There are 1 SC saves. the Linux installer save and the SC exploited profile. both have to be on the system in order to use SC as your install disc.

Did you read ANY of the readme files in-cluded?
1. Unzip the package
2. Update the package Update???
3. Copy both UDATA.zip files to memory card one at a time The problem is that I can't acces my memory card from FTP
4. Copy both UDATA.zip files to xbox one at a time Do I have to upload the folder and the zip file? both in the same dir? could you be a little bit more specific please?
5. Mod
6. Back to PC, read the readme files to create an Extras disc and a rescue disc
And also there are to save games for SC, which one should I use?
thanks for the help : )
Not sure what you did with the USB Adapter, but alright. If the xbox sees the files the way you are doing it, great. My instructions were really there for people who use the Memory card and controller to do this.
you have to use the Action Replay software or similar program to put both save games on your memory card. The memory cards/action replay cards are too small to handle both save games at once, which was why there are 2 seperate save games. Both are needed.
2. Look in this post or in krayzie's signature for the updates.
3. Why do you need FTP access to your memory card????? What did you read before you attempted this???
4. YOU don't have to upload anything. The action replay software will do it for you. Otherwise, you'll have to unzip the UDATA.zip file and place the UDATA folder that's in it on to E:\

Hi Krayzie,
I cannot connect to live any more...I was able to do that, but yesterday I inserted halo2 and chose load dvd from unleash x, and tried to play live and then failed to connect. After that I can't connect any more. I am afraid I got banned again (I have changed my eeprom once). Do you think it is possible?
BTW, what is the difference between 1.1 and 1.0? I have 1.0 installed long time ago.
You *CAN'T* connect to live with krayzie's mod from UnleashX. if you are using krayzie's, you couldn't have gotten on live before.
Live access is done via cold boot. Stick your game in the dvd, turn the system off, turn it back on.

I don't know how the app works. I know some linux kernels also delimit the ram so I guess the bios/kernel needs to be altered/patched.
You are ofcourse free to do what you want with the package. Maybe I'm doing some other minor updates later on and I'm thinking I will release it complete and officially when they all done.
Well, i have to find the right person to talk to.....normally i'd expect NDure Protagonist to have chimed in with an idea or 2 by now. There are several things i'd like to know....does NKPatcher patch the bios as it's loading (flubber) or afterwards. if it's before, it's theoretically possible to set it so that the patch can change the color of the flubber, or possibly even enable LCD screens....which, if it happened, i'd get rid of my chip.
but i degress. my main operating mode is chip on while i'm home, chip off otherwise. The main uses of the system are for running emulators and xbmc. i want to make sure i can use all my ram, so if you got ANY idea as to why a program that has the ability to see 128mb can't see it (i think bios limited, perhaps nkpatcher needs a tweak), please let me know. would love to hear anyone else who runs softmodded and has a 128mb upgrade.
Can you tell me where in your installer is each copy of UnleashX?
thanx much
Post by: krayzie on May 10, 2006, 08:57:00 AM
And like I said before the ram is probably limited inside the kernel. If you find the app that is normally used to delimit it or maybe a bios that supports all 128 mb and you show it to xman then maybe he can implement it in nkpatcher.
And there is only one unleashx in my package. It's in the main folder named unleashx.xbe

Now I have a different problem that I see in both, but in mine are more obvius. I don´t know if are problem of hardware or what.
Games like Fifa06 looks like have a little freeze in certain parts of the game (even playing with my original games), I think I got to ask this in the hardware forum.

The exploit kicks in when xboxdash.xbe loads it's fonts. Then nkpatcher is launched and the kernel is patched. The bios boots to xboxdash.xbe so there is no way to edit anything before xboxdash.xbe loads (including the bootlogo).

I found the app in the Usual Places, under Dev. i'll pass it to xman if i can. thanx for the heads up.....now, which xman do i pass it to?? there seems to be 14 of them lol
So....the default.xbe that is used as the first menu in the installer isn't UnleashX? Same for the Extras? I was going to go thru the whole package and use the newest UnleashX version, if for no other reason than because it was slightly smaller.

somehow i f-ed using the installer and managed to completely not allow ms dash to load at all through unleashx menu or even deleting the entire mod
from wut i was tolld and understand is the only option is to copy original C: files back(i used files in slayers) and delete the old, and deleting all of e: except for udata and tdata
i did this and it booted me to an unleashx dash with only launch dvd tab, if i use the gamesave exploit it acts as if the mod is still on the harddrive(which it might be) and it will not allow me to remove because there is no backup of C: on E:(since i deleted it)
idk wut the hell to do now, since i cant ftp nemore and ms dash will not run and i have no way of even putting evox or unleash x back
seems odd that the original files will not boot ms dash when all files r present.....obviously im missing something huge here please some1 help!!!!!

@A Murder of Crows: there is only one unleashx inside each folder (gamesave installer, Extras and Rescue disc. Within those folder various parts and xml's are copied/renamed to make the menu look different throughout and after the installation. And I would pass it to the xman that made the latest nkpatcher additions. You will probably have the biggest chance with him.

Is there anyway to change the basic install to default to nkpatcher.06, rather then nkpatcher.67 (so you don't have to do this after the installation)?
I would say no. the default nkpatcher is set to .067 for a reason. this is to protect newbies from hard drive corruption.
Post by: krayzie on May 13, 2006, 12:25:00 PM
To default it to 06 just grab 06.xbe out of extras\files\nkpatcher\ and put it in your gamesave's files\nkpatcher folder and rename it to default.xbe replacing the existing one. Remember to rar back up the files folder after the replacement

Sorry if someone has asked same question, the topic is too long, didn't check all the previous posts.
you could use minumum install or revert back to stock and choose basic.

Yes. The only question is what region your exploit game is from, and making sure you have the right save games for that region.

hi i'm really a noob at this softmodding stuff. i have a question, in this tutorial http://www.productwi...30_minutes.html do i choose evolution or unleashed?
That is your choice.
the page you listed gives a 404. Not sure if this has to do with krayzie's installler or not.
I suggest you go into the Dashboard forums and read up on both EvolutionX (EvoX) and UnleashX and determine which one you'd rather use. I picked UnleashX becase that was what Krayzie's Installer was coded in.

-update unleashx
-fix the dual msdash function for friends lists and what not

Well, i've started half this work for you
I've got the exedit for DVDX Auto Progressive installed and working (tested on X2VGA 2 unit and SVideo), and i will be replacing the DVDX that's in your installer with it for my personal "unofficial" version of your installer, which will include some minor changes to some things, such as renaming "Basic Install" to "Full Install" and noting a difference between "Extras" and "Advanced Extras". I look forward to you checking it out when it's done.
UnleashX will also be updated.
I also hexed MSDash 5960 for auto progressive DVD play, though i can't try it at the moment.....since i know that the installer uses MSDAsh 5960 as a base for the "Full" install, i figured that it would work out well if you wanted to use teh M$ Dash DVD Player....however i hit a snag....seems that the actual MS Dash is slightly different from what the end user has access to when choosing "Launch MS Dashboard" from the completed mod....as when i attempted to hex edit that, it failed to find the corresponding hex string, so i can only assume it's a different file than what is included with 5960.....would like to chat with you about that in PMs
take care

Nice sugestions,
The 5960 msdash on the virtual C when modded is just a copy of the retail msdash that was on the xbox prior to the install. The files are copied from the backup. I could do something with a prepatched xboxdash though

Although hex editing xbes to output in 480p works, it is kind of messy. There is already an easier way to get automatic 480p, and it is already included in Krayzie's Ndure. Go to the Extras and go to the customization options and you can use Dr Oldschool's "Force Progressive" patch to force 480p whenever it wants to display in 480i.

That isn't seemless however. I'm not trying to "Force" progressive, i'm trying to make a proper Auto-Selection/Detection. I have a pretty complicated setup, and depending on my needs have either of my 2 xbox systems on either an SVideo connection or a Component connection. I suspect that if i "Force" progressive, it will break the ability to go back to SVideo on demand.
I believe that auto-selection/detection should be the standard of all xbe files and that any program not doing it is an oversight by the author.

Ok, but there is already an auto-switch for most things. If you hook up to S-Video and go to the MS Dash, notice you can't change the HD settings, because they aren't even there. The HD video settings only show when the cable in the back of the Xbox is detected as an HDTV cable. If you have all your apps set to use 480p, and then hook up an S-Video, they see that there is no HDTV cable and therefore ignore the HD settings, right? I use both cables and have never run into an App that runs in HDTV mode with an S-Video cable plugged in. The Xbox itself has built-in detection of video cables.

It's not all about the cables. It's about enabling the modes in the apps themselves.....for example, until i hexed it, DVDX would not play any movies in 480p. Now, i COULD have done the "Force Progressive" patch, but then, when the box next tried to run 480i because it's supposed to, what happens to the picture?
In the end, i feel it is a better choice to try to Hex edit all the individual programs that can be so that they can actually run natively without a "Force Progressive" patch, which from what i understood, was not 100% working across all versions of xbox anyway.

Did you bother to format the G drive? enabling it doesn't format it.
14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)
Same thing as above (error 13). This time it is also a little mistake from you on changing names or having played around with files on the xbox harddisk. Error 14 is most often because you changed boot orders or names of startup files on the harddisk. It can also happen when you are rebuilding your xbox harddisk with a slayer cd and the power was cut.
Suggestions:
Use a fresh Slayer's to completely wipe the drive and get stock C 5960 on the system. Lock the drive back to your xbox, and make sure it works. Don't put anything else on it from that disc.
Don't bother with XBPartitioner....everything you need to make your hard drive work is included in XBoxHDM or with Krayzie's Installer, with the exception of MS Dash 5960, which you can get from Slayer's or update using Halo 2, Dead of Alive Ultimate, Jade Empire, Sid Meier's Pirates, or any other newer Live enabled game.
Remake your XBHDM disc. Don't use a single item from before, since we don't know what may be corrupted. This means you should redownload XBoxHDM, Slayer's, and Krayzie's Installer, and the 1.1.1 update for your exploit disc.
Make sure you have NOTHING but stock C drive files in the C folder.
Make sure you only put in the Exploited Game Saves in the E folder under E:\UDATA
Make sure you have your proper EEPROM in the EEPROM folder.
When runnign the disc, make sure you choose option 1, 1 (from scratch), choose to setup and format F partitions and to copy over files for both E and C.
Reboot when completed and choose option 3, then "lockhd -a"
this should complete everything.
Install the drive, then follow this guide:
-------------------------------------------
#1 - Basic Setup
---------------------------
This section tunes up your Xbox to prep for the mod. Here, you will want to clean up your save games and choose all your settings for your favorite setups. You should also enable HD Modes and 5.1 Audio options here to make sure that the virtual eeprom uses your favorite settings.
What you Need Here:
-------------------
A) Xbox System
Power CableC) XBox Controller
D) Paper and Pen/Pencil, computer with NotePad
E) TV/Monitor Cables
Optional:
---------
A) HD/Component Cables
SVideo CablesC) Optical Audio Cables
D) X2VGA 2
E) Home Theater Unit with Optical In (Optical Audio Cable)
F) HD TV (HD cables) or TV with SVideo In (SVideo Cables)
G) VGA PC Monitor (x2vga 2)
What To Do:
-----------
1. Hook up your xbox system with your chosen method (HD Cables, Svideo Cables, X2vga)
Optional: If using optical sound, please make sure to read your manual about how to enable the optical ports.
2. Turn on the xbox with no game in it. THis will take you to the MS Dashboard. You should have video and sound working here. Check your manuals for your TV, x2vga, or Home Theater unit here if you don't.
3. Set the date, time, and time zone properly for your region.
4. In Audio Settings, Set the Audio Mode according to how you hooked up the system. I use Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sound. These modes reqiure SVideo or HD/Component Cables to be enabled. I suggest enabling this mode in all xbox systems as the sound comes out in standard Stereo if you don't have the proper cable hooked up later, yet it retains the Optical/5.1 setting when you go back to that type of setup.
5. In Video Settings, set the video mode to whichever you prefer. I use Letterbox to allow widescreen viewing on my 4:3 monitor.
6a. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC ONLY - In Video Settings, set the video modes to enable the Progressive Scan Modes your monitor can handle. You Need HD/Component cables to be able to enable these modes. The Safest bets are to only enable 720p and 480p at the most, as some games won't work with 1080i mode enabled. Like the 'hidden' audio options, these choices retain, even if you move the xbox to a non-component, non-hd tv. This will only work on NTSC xbox systems. PAL Users wanting HD/Progressive Scan will have to convert their system over to NTSC to do so.
6b. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC, Dashboard 5960 ONLY - After enabling your Progressive Scan modes in 6a, back out to the Main Menu. Hold down both triggers and "Click" on both thumbsticks. This will enable the Dashboard to be displayed in Progressive Scan 480p mode. This only works on dash 5960 and above. If your dash has not yet been updated to 5960, follow the rest of the FAQ and return here to enable the mode later.
7. With your xbox plugged in and turned on, delete any Game Save Data that you have for the chosen Exploit Disc. Although this is not always nessescery in all cases, it is HIGHLY suggested to prevent errors. While here, you should delete as many Game Saves and Custom Soundtracks as you can live without. No need to delete them all, but ones you won't use anymore or ones you can live without should be removed. These files all reside on your E partition, which is where a lot of this mod will occur.
8. In Settings, choose Xbox Info and wait till the copyright info scrolls up. Here you will see 2 sets of numbers. Write these down in a safe place.
9. Optional - Use a DVD-Lens Cleaner disc to clean the laser of your drive. You should do this about once a month.
Upon deleting all the Game Saves that you can, enabling all modes you might want to use now or in the future, and writing down your kernel info, your xbox is ready to either be modded or updated to Dashboard 5960.
--------------------

It's not all about the cables. It's about enabling the modes in the apps themselves.....for example, until i hexed it, DVDX would not play any movies in 480p. Now, i COULD have done the "Force Progressive" patch, but then, when the box next tried to run 480i because it's supposed to, what happens to the picture?
In the end, i feel it is a better choice to try to Hex edit all the individual programs that can be so that they can actually run natively without a "Force Progressive" patch, which from what i understood, was not 100% working across all versions of xbox anyway.
But here is the thing, the Force Progressive is actively doing the same thing as your hex edits, as it only is enabled when it detects an HDTV cable. Therefore, what you said about using the patch and forcing progressive, then wanting to play through 480i, it works perfectly. It only switches to 480p if it detects an HDTV cable and the application is running in 480i. If you want to play it in 480i, then you're fine as long as you don't use an HDTV cable. Everything that you have done is already possible and is in fact easier.
Your solution does work, but it also means that each xbe will have to be hex-edited, each application itself will have to be re-rar'ed and re-uploaded back onto Xbins and each person who wants this will have to re-download every single application. That is a lot of work.
Or..
You can go to Krayzie's Extras and enable the Force Progressive patch and it works for everything (games, apps, etc.) Even the latest MS Dash has a HD and SD video mode built in by Micros0ft themselves. It boots up in 480i and if you want it to switch to 480p, hold down the Left Trigger, Right Trigger, and Both Thumbsticks all at the same time, hold for a second, and release. The MS Dash will switch to 480p temporarily. Again, that's if an HD cable is detected.
It is really simple, if you don't want 480p, don't use an HD Cable. If you want 480p, plug in an HD cable and abracadabra everything is forced into 480p automatically! And nobody had to re-rar, re-upload, or re-download any applications.
I just don't think you realize just how the Force Progressive patch works. It is doing everything that you want it to. Dr. Oldschool did a great job on the patch, so I'm glad xman included it with NKPatcher11.
Also, about the compatibility, AFAIK the force progressive patch works on each and every (NTSC) version Xbox. There has never been a compatiblity issue to my knowledge, it has always worked flawlessly. The VGA patch doesn't work with v1.6 Xboxes, but the Force Progressive should work.

Alright, I'm having a problem enabling the high def settings after doing this soft mod. When i go In the msdash from my main dashboard (newest xbmc), i cannot enable the 480p/720p/1080i they're stuck on no and when i go from letterbox to widescreen the video flashes and the xbox reboots back to xbmc but the settings do not change.
After reading MANY topics on the forums I've learned it's probably due to the eeprom or shadow C being read only or something like that. I do NOT have multiboot msdash setup, in fact i was just trying to set that up from krayzie's extras and i get stuck at the "add MSdash functions" part, i copied the files over to the correct directory but I get the "batch proccess failed. The last item was:No minimum install present."
Someone had also said that I'd have to removed the softmod completely, change the settings in the msdash, then redo the softmod. But I would LIKE to be able to easily switch between the two if i take my xbox to a non-hdtv.
Basically, how can I setup my xbox to be able to easily switch between high def and normal modes after doing the softmod?
Undo the mod. Follow this tutorial:
#1 - Basic Setup
---------------------------
This section tunes up your Xbox to prep for the mod. Here, you will want to clean up your save games and choose all your settings for your favorite setups. You should also enable HD Modes and 5.1 Audio options here to make sure that the virtual eeprom uses your favorite settings.
What you Need Here:
-------------------
A) Xbox System
Power CableC) XBox Controller
D) Paper and Pen/Pencil, computer with NotePad
E) TV/Monitor Cables
Optional:
---------
A) HD/Component Cables
SVideo CablesC) Optical Audio Cables
D) X2VGA 2
E) Home Theater Unit with Optical In (Optical Audio Cable)
F) HD TV (HD cables) or TV with SVideo In (SVideo Cables)
G) VGA PC Monitor (x2vga 2)
What To Do:
-----------
1. Hook up your xbox system with your chosen method (HD Cables, Svideo Cables, X2vga)
Optional: If using optical sound, please make sure to read your manual about how to enable the optical ports.
2. Turn on the xbox with no game in it. THis will take you to the MS Dashboard. You should have video and sound working here. Check your manuals for your TV, x2vga, or Home Theater unit here if you don't.
3. Set the date, time, and time zone properly for your region.
4. In Audio Settings, Set the Audio Mode according to how you hooked up the system. I use Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sound. These modes reqiure SVideo or HD/Component Cables to be enabled. I suggest enabling this mode in all xbox systems as the sound comes out in standard Stereo if you don't have the proper cable hooked up later, yet it retains the Optical/5.1 setting when you go back to that type of setup.
5. In Video Settings, set the video mode to whichever you prefer. I use Letterbox to allow widescreen viewing on my 4:3 monitor.
6a. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC ONLY - In Video Settings, set the video modes to enable the Progressive Scan Modes your monitor can handle. You Need HD/Component cables to be able to enable these modes. The Safest bets are to only enable 720p and 480p at the most, as some games won't work with 1080i mode enabled. Like the 'hidden' audio options, these choices retain, even if you move the xbox to a non-component, non-hd tv. This will only work on NTSC xbox systems. PAL Users wanting HD/Progressive Scan will have to convert their system over to NTSC to do so.
6b. OPTIONAL!!! NTSC, Dashboard 5960 ONLY - After enabling your Progressive Scan modes in 6a, back out to the Main Menu. Hold down both triggers and "Click" on both thumbsticks. This will enable the Dashboard to be displayed in Progressive Scan 480p mode. This only works on dash 5960 and above. If your dash has not yet been updated to 5960, follow the rest of the FAQ and return here to enable the mode later.
7. With your xbox plugged in and turned on, delete any Game Save Data that you have for the chosen Exploit Disc. Although this is not always nessescery in all cases, it is HIGHLY suggested to prevent errors. While here, you should delete as many Game Saves and Custom Soundtracks as you can live without. No need to delete them all, but ones you won't use anymore or ones you can live without should be removed. These files all reside on your E partition, which is where a lot of this mod will occur.
8. In Settings, choose Xbox Info and wait till the copyright info scrolls up. Here you will see 2 sets of numbers. Write these down in a safe place.
9. Optional - Use a DVD-Lens Cleaner disc to clean the laser of your drive. You should do this about once a month.
Upon deleting all the Game Saves that you can, enabling all modes you might want to use now or in the future, and writing down your kernel info, your xbox is ready to either be modded or updated to Dashboard 5960.
When you are done, re-mod. You will not have to worry about changing between modes, 480i will enable as nessescery. From here on out, changes you make in the MS Dash accessible from Krayzie's Extras will affect the proper place and will save properly also, so you can change between Widescreen and Letterbox modes as you want. Leave 480p on all the time.

I will have to try this, though to be honest, i'm rather glad for the hex work....not everyone uses Krayzie's and i believe it's a good idea to up versions of the hex edited apps anyway. If the Force Progressive patch truly works the way you claim, it will fix some of my personal problems on some games that can launch but do not support 480p (ChessMaster), however it probably won't have an effect on games that can't launch (I-Ninja), and so the hex edit, in the end, is still a better solution. And since the version of DVDX that has been hexed only changed 1 character (a 2 to a 0), i see it as perfectly fine to include it with Krayzie's Installer.....the change doesn't do anything that negatively affects the system, and it's what i feel the program should have been released as anyway. It works in both modes, without the need for a patch, even if the patch is included.
Point is, as good as the patch may be, i'd rather the app or game support the mode natively and automaticly as opposed to having to accept a patch to do it.

Don't bother with XBPartitioner....everything you need to make your hard drive work is included in XBoxHDM or with Krayzie's Installer, with the exception of MS Dash 5960, which you can get from Slayer's or update using Halo 2, Dead of Alive Ultimate, Jade Empire, Sid Meier's Pirates, or any other newer Live enabled game
I know I have MS Dash 5960(have Halo 2 & checked in "Info"), so can I just forgo Slayers?
Also, I thought that with HDDs larger than 256GB that you had to format with 32k clusters(XBPart)
or else any data stored beyond that will be corrupted..?

Well, if you are doing this via XBOXHDM, if you know how to extract the C drive dash files from Halo 2, be my guest. Otherwise, use slayers.
Not quite right.
it's any PARTITION larger than 256gb.....since you are using a 300GB drive, no partition you have will be bigger than 256gb (you'll have a .5, a 5, several .7s, and a 137ish...all the rest goes to G).

i *BELIEVE* you can do it with 4b2-2, then 4a10. if you are softmodded at the moment, there is no need to unlock/relock the drive....the system would boot to an error msg if the drive was unlocked....that instruction was only if you were using XBOXHD, which i thought you were.
here's the thing...you are already modded...you should have a backup of your eeprom somewhere.....with that backup and a disc of XBOXHDM that includes the 5960 dash files on it in the C folder, you have everything you need to repair your box from any softmod related issue....so you could actually afford to expirement with different options in slayers without causing too much of an issue....it's after you are modded with krayzie's that you don't want to mess with slayer's anymore...it's outdated.
the point is....make sure you have a copy of 5960 on an Xboxhdm disc with your eeprom, and preferably your save game files on it. i believe you can find 5960 on the slayers disc in the All\C\ folder.

Glad I came back to see what this was all about... £70 for an Xbox with XBMC without even getting my hands dirty - surely if the public knew how easy this is to accomplish there wouldn't be many Xboxes left in the UK...

What you need to do is select the acutal save not just the "save group" from where you are push right and the selection will then jump into the "save group" and you have the option of copying from there.

Well, follow the Marrige theory 1st off. if you can't for whatever reason, i'd say don't attempt....you'll only get banned.
Using Krayzie's Extras, use either Dual Live or Triple Live to gain access to the live console. That will enable you to setup/recover a live account. Make sure your version of Krayzie's Installer is updated to the latest, while you are doing this.

I was trying to use the Action Replay to transfer the files. The plan is to do this for now and then sort out a proper network once I upgrade my PC in the next few months.
I am going try a different memory card in case it may be that but otherwise I have run out of ideas.
I made a mistake in my wording.
what kind of cables did you use to connect your XBOX to your TV/Monitor?
but, i degress. It's not the memory card. I've identified an issue using Progressive Scan/HD Cables with the exploit. I have a guess that you currently use this setup. try installing the exploit with normal A/V or SVideo cables instead.

I don't quite understand why that would make any difference. My xbox was connected with the standard issue cable into the red,yellow and white individual connections and also I have tried it in the scart socket. The tv is an LCD but not HD
Interesting.
I don't know why it makes a difference either, but i assume it has to do with UnleashX running during initial exploit. Ever since i started doing double VGA to Xbox via HD connections, i can't get thru SC past the "Checkpoints" screen.
Sounded like your problem was the same as mine.
Instead, you may just have a bad/corrupted game save. In your case, i'd follow any one of the several guides i posted in this forum over the last 2 months on what to do. Format your AR/MC, download 100% fresh versions of krayzie's Package 1.1 and his 1.1.1 update, follow the instructions for the update and try loading up the MC one at a time. Don't forget to kill off any and all old Game Saves for your chosen game as well as the old Linux game save file.
good luck

- if i do the basic instead of minimum, are the files added to this folder automatically..(this way i dont have to worry about em...?
Thank you for this...
ive done 1.0 ndure - this will be my first 1.1 on a non-modded box...
thanks in advance..

you've got some files mixed up. I think those are the files of kingroaches C partition.
If you do the retail install you won't have to put anything inside the msdashboard folder and the dual or tri boots are allready good to go.

I noticed some of the talk in the update thread. I've almost got a usuable package with the changes i made and i want to know if there's going to be an update soon so that i can get you to look over these changes and give a Yay or Nay on them.....essentially i'm asking if you have a time line.
Also, it seems as if the initial install of the exploit has issue occasionally with HD/Progressive Scan modes, but maybe it's only on certain hardware or kernel versions. do you have any input/ideas regarding this?
thanx much

@ murder of crows: No timeline. I'm extremeley busy with other stuff lately so It's not going to be soon. Also I thought the progressive issues had to do with incompatible video encoders. i don't know if this issues have been solved yet I would have to look into that.
@daggerx: yeah I meant basic install. sorry bout that
I'm not 100% sure what it has to do with. last night i had a v1 that worked perfectly getting the exploit in via progressive. i figure i'd have problems with v6 models, but my own system is a v4 and i don't REMEMBER an issue there...*shrugs*
I wonder where the hang is.....i always get stalled at the "Checkpoints" screen....so does that mean that Splinter Cell is where the problem lies, or perhaps UnleashX, or perhaps the transition between the 2
I began to think about it and wanted to try out possibly including an UnleasX.xml file in the package that had the video settings for 480P already enabled, regardless of if the system can support it or not...i know that when unleashx is run on my home system, progressive works....but if i run it elsewhere, progressive turns off automaticly....yet retains the settings when i come home. This, of course, was just braing storming, and not actually looking in the forums to see if the video encoder is what actually causes it to hang.

switch the xbmc os according to the instructions
every else worked but this "5960 files" part...
please help - i have the files...
Follow any one of the guides i posted recently, starting from the end of may.
uninstall the mod, use your backup
Use a recent Live Enabled game to update to 5960...don't just "install the files"
reinstall the mod using "Basic Install"

after reading 15+ pages it only did one thing for me...
it basically showed me how intelligent and knowlegeable Krayzie and A murder of Crows really are..
but please bear with me - here is where i am
-this box was never modded prior to this...
-prior to installling the smod - i used halo 2 to update the dash
-the mod was installed - no problem
-xbmc is now the current dash - no problem
-extras was copied to e\apps - no problem
-extras is accessible from the programs link in xbmc - no problem
-i placed the 5960 files in the "msdashboard" folder in the extras via ftp
-when it checked the files under the msdash options it said "failure"
-i left the files in the msdashboard folder and i went to the multiboot files options in the extras
-i set it for multiboot xbmc\xlivedash
-it gave a warning that i couldnt do this unless the msdash option was set
- i continued...
-I need peace of mind now guys, the system runs - it had a dead thompson which i replaced with
a sammy few days ago - this system was a doorstopper for almost two years because my brothers didnt know what the heck to do with it...but thanks for the xs scene and u guys i did....thank God...
-now, when I press the power button it goes to xbmc -the best dash
and when i power up with the eject button - it sends me to a screen that is requesting me to set up a live account (im sure this is do to the fact that this box never had a live account registered on it - ever)
- should i be concerned about anything right now or is it ALL good?
im trying my level best here to be challenge specific - this way i do not waste Krayzie/Crows time or anybody else's time rather...
You are all set! thanx for actually taking the time to read back a little...it's been one of my pet peeves lately.
one thing though.....because XBMC is currently in a feature freeze while they work bugs out for 2.0, you MIGHT want to run your setup a lil differently....
you only need access to the Live console once....to set up your account....after which, it can do nothing for you, since friendslist and livechat do not function at the moment using Krayzie's NDure. I'd suggest moving XBMC back to the Apps\XBMC folder and placing UnleashX as your main dash for stability/safety's sake, and then running dual boot to launch XBMC using the eject button.
Alternately, if you'd truly prefer XBMC as a main dash (and like downloading and reconfiguring it every week), you could place UnleashX in Dashboard\AltDash and keep XBMC in Dashboard. Then you'd have XBMC load at power and UnleashX at eject....due to how messy that would make the main dash folder however, i don't suggest doing it that way.

i don't know if you remember, but i had posted a very long time ago that I saw wavy lines or squiggly lines any time my dashboard was loading through your mod when using an HD tv. everything is fine on a regular tv, just not HD. i believe this is due to nkpatcher being in 480i mode or whatever and switching to 720p etc. i replaced alt.xbe in nkpatcher which loads an alternative dash. the xbe works fine normally, but i'm trying to use xbe shortcut maker because i thought it might solve the problem. obviously it won't work unless you at least habibi sign the xbe, which i did with xbedump. altdash still won't load and gives me 21 error if it's unsigned and just a black screen if it is. i have it directing to e:\dashboard\altdash\default.xbe. i know this isn't due to your installer, but thought you might know what i could possibly do to help refine this type of setup. is there a way nkpatcher doesn't have the squiggly lines (load at 720p)? or is there a way to replace the xbe file with say another xbe through a special process?

also, i can't seem to test PBL. I took the package from the usual places and created a PBL directory in APPS. Placed the boot.cgf, bios file, and default.xbe (says it is signed from the package) in the directory. when i go to run it though all i get is a black screen. my kernal is compatible as well. i have a v1.0 xbox with kernal version 4034 (and obviously the dash version required for your install). would the nkpatcher perhaps not allow it to run while in mod mode? replacing alt.xbe with the package files doesn't seem to load either. just a black screen.
P.S. just wanted to also thank you again for a great job you've done on this installer and all the help. like i mentioned before, i've been using this on two xbox's wtih no problems besides this flicker when connected with an HD pack. hopefully we can figure this out, but i love what you've done. thanks!

copy the eeprom off that system ASAP. your hard drive is failing, and you'd much rather install a new hard drive via XBOXHDM than via a mod chip.

I have installed the latest Krayzie Ndure 1.1.1 I believe onto 2 xboxes... When I try to transfer stuff from one to another via ftp through a router, or even xbox to xbox via x-over cable, it does not work. One of the xboxes ftp works and the other just loses the ftp connection. They are different IPs, but I think that since they are both using the same virtual eeprom from the ndure installer, that they both have the same MAC address on the NIC and they are interfearing with each other... is there a way disable one of the virtual eeproms so that I could link the two boxes together to transfer files? or a way to change the virtual one to a real eeprom that will work... I'm almost positive that since they are both using the same softmod with the same virtual eeprom that this is the issue...
Thanks in advance!

if you can get them, sure. i figure that with the clicking hard drive problem, you PROBABLY would be better off installing a stock C 5960 to a new hard drive, lock it to the eeprom, and remod from scratch, than you would be if you tried to copy the files off a failing drive, which MIGHT corrupt some of those files. Keep in mind that you will end up copying only the Shadow C drive unless you enter the box into Professional Mode first.

Ok, I'm in the extras menu now. I've been looking everywhere for information on what does what. The readme.txt doesn't tell me very much, it just skips over the dual/triple boots.
Like I stated above, I'm trying to get on Live with the softmod remaining installed. With the dual boot with ms dash be able to do that and would I still be able to generate gamertags? Or would I have to go with the dual boot with Livedash?
I've been searchingfor a while now...and it would help if the search feature would work here...
You cold boot the system each time you want to get on live. you do NOT need the dual boot feature to do this. Use Dual Boot LiveDash to create gamertags.

It will take you real eeprom, copy it, and delete your old virtual eeprom, replacing it with the new one.
as long as your real eeprom is legit and good, you will be fine...no more MAC address errors.
I've done some delving into this....i personally prefer doing 2 systems exactly the same...getting both eeproms, then choosing one system to be "master" and the other to be "Clone".
Mod both machines using my guide in this thread (eventually i'll have a full guide done, just too busy at the moment).
when both systems are modded, copy off both eeproms and then install ConfigMagic. unlock Clone's Hard drive and carefully apply Master's eeprom to Clone, then relock CLone's Hard drive. Repeat to make certain that the eeprom change took.
What you should have at this point are 2 systems with the exact same "Real" eeprom, but different virtual eeproms. the virtual eeproms will allow you to use the systems in modded mode on a network, but the real eeproms will allow the hard drives between the systems to be interchangeable. Do not use xbox live with the Clone system as the hard drive serial number will not match with the master's hard drive SN.
take care

Is there a way to ever get back the original krayzie virtual eeprom? is there a reason to even want it? What is the advantage of making your original eeprom virtual? I thought the whole reason you had one was to protect your original from getting banned...
There is no such thing as "original krayzie virtual eeprom"
when you mod your system via Krayzie's installer, a copy of YOUR ORIGINAL EEPROM is made at the very start.
this COPY of YOUR ORIGINAL EEPROM becomes known as your Virtual Eeprom.
somewhere along the line, your eeprom's settings or your eeprom itself was changed.
the idea behind the virtual eeprom was to protect your real eeprom from changes you'd make with apps, such as using different/unsupported video modes (PAL on NTSC, etc). it has NOTHING to do with getting banned on XBL or anything like that. it's to make sure your original eeprom doesn't get corrupted
QUOTE(thanosx @ Jul 29 2006, 04:31 PM)
Yeah i can get em . The hard drive clicking noise dont happen till about 5 hours play time on the xbox. When u unplug the box for awhiles its fine . to get a stock c5960 its in the backups folder in the e folder right ? with the eeprom ?
In almost all cases, i would start completely fresh.
1. Get your eeprom backed up
2. Get your Game Saves (E:\TDATA, E:\UDATA) backed up
3. Get your dashboard settings backed up (the xml or ini file, depending on what you have)
I personally use Slayer's to copy dash 5960 to my PC and start building my XBoxHD disc from there.
using a 100% fresh setup helps to ensure there is less chance of issues, and allows people to help you more easily.
this, of course, is just a suggestion. if you want, you CAN use your original C drive and E drive. remember to go into Professional Mode to do it, however, so you aren't copying your Shadow C.
On another matter, i just wanted to apologize for not getting these answered sooner....it seems i'm not recieving email notices from this thread anymore.

So back to my issue with having 2 krayzie modded boxes on the same network... how can updating my virtual eeprom do anything different if it was done already when I modded my system?
depends on how you modded your system.
Krayzie's installer is used via the memory cards. If you used XBoxHDM to mod your box, and used the files off one box (the C and E drives) onto the other, then you most likely have the virtual eeprom from one box being used on the other, causing both to have the same mac address.
i have to assume that this is what's going on, since i can't think of any other way (maybe configmagic?) that you would have teh same mac addy on 2 different systems.
As long as your network is assigning DHCP, your problem is the virtual eeprom. to verify, run Krayzie's Extras, then run the 2nd "Launch Extras" option, then run Professional Mode. try to see if you can get both boxes on the network then. My guess is that you will. otherwise, something else is going on.
either way, i'd first try the virtual eeprom, and after i'd remod the box using the installer only

the update virtual eeprom option renews the virtual eeprom using the actual eeprom from that machine.
Right. I was suggesting that, should the update virtual not work, he reinstall the entire mod.
I only know 3 ways to get matching mac addresses on 2 different xbox systems:
A - Mod Box 1, go pro mod, copy C and E from Box 1 into XBoxHDM, use it to pre-mod Box 2
B - Use ConfigMagic to flash Box 1's eeprom to box 2
C - By the grace of fate, he got xbox systems with the same mac addy within the eeprom.
I suspect (but have nothing save for my own expirence to base this on) that he used method A to mod Box 2. That being the case, i feel he should
1 - Update Virtual Eeprom
if that fails, he should then do
2 - Factory restore, then remod using game save method

Update: I modded my new xbox with your installer and I now coldboot EVERY retail game and haven't been banned. I'd like to appologize again for my paranoid behavior.
Question: I replaced unleash-x with xbmc as my default dashboard. I know it's a silly question but will this effect in any way my ability to play on live? I know the answer before I ask the question I know. Dashboards are not bios dependant. However, I'm not going to pretend that I know everything there is to know and blame you for another stupid mistake that I, myself made.

Would you be able to post a list of the files installed on the REAL CDrive after running the Mod?
I had an SID installation previously, which was a pain to remove, and I'd like to be certain that there are no leftover bits kicking around on the real Cdrive.
A list of folders and files that should be present in the root after a install of v1.1.1 onto a retail box would be great...

Im using your Ndure 1.1, I replaced UnleashX with XBMC and i used the XBMC feature context menu that will find and update your trainers and i have my games installed on the hard drive. Everything else about your exploit works fine, and honestly, i dont even know if this is related to your exploit at all..
Ive looked on several different forums, ive posted in the XBMC forums to no avail. As a last resort i thought i would try an answer straight from the horses mouth.
Are there any steps i can do to correct this? Has something been corrupted somewhere. As i said, the whole trainer process seems to complete just fine. Ive tried the maxconsole forums, and many more searching for the answer. But im at a loss. I'd like to think ive cleared n00b status but if there is something im missing, please let me know!

This would have nothing to do with krayzie's installer.
check your version of XBMC. I know that the last GasGiver version from april had trainers built in from that time period.
Id say, go back to using UnleashX as a dash and run XBMC as an app. XBMC team has stated that their program is not meant to be a dashboard, and that the running of code (aka Apps, emulators, etc) was "Tacked on" as an afterthought.
make notes of your settings, scripts, etc in XBMC, delete all versions of the game save data for XBMC, remove XBMC entirely, Clear your cache, get the latest T3CH version, and reinstall
and while you are doing this maintenence, try to update to krayzie's 1.1.1
Post by: FeatherKing on August 25, 2006, 12:37:00 PM
I believe this is the correct procedure (based on my reading) for upgrading. I am just not really a fan of the UnleashX dash.. Perhaps i should copy the original UserData from the T3CH release and overwrite my previous directory?
It seems that others have gotten these trainers to work in XBMC, and as i stated in my other post - Ive even tried using Team Xored's Mini Launcher from Within XBMC and tried loading the trainers that way.. It does the same thing, light turns green then orange (presumably indicating a successful loading of the trainer) and then the game comes on (game copied to HD) and the trainers dont work?!
Any other ideas? Im not at my box ATM but i will try the UnleashX when i get home and see if that gets the job done

I believe this is the correct procedure (based on my reading) for upgrading. I am just not really a fan of the UnleashX dash.. Perhaps i should copy the original UserData from the T3CH release and overwrite my previous directory?
It seems that others have gotten these trainers to work in XBMC, and as i stated in my other post - Ive even tried using Team Xored's Mini Launcher from Within XBMC and tried loading the trainers that way.. It does the same thing, light turns green then orange (presumably indicating a successful loading of the trainer) and then the game comes on (game copied to HD) and the trainers dont work?!
Any other ideas? Im not at my box ATM but i will try the UnleashX when i get home and see if that gets the job done

Don't try updating. Make *NOTE* of your settings, and start 100% fresh. keep the backup of your settings safe, but don't use it at first...just re-create your settings from scratch and delete and re-install EVERYTHING and see what it does for you. From what i understand, T3CH and Bling are different builds, by different people at different times, so settings from one may not work with the other, and vice versa. Also, the builds may be different from each other in other ways....one may use settings that the other doesn't have, etc, as i found when i updated from GasGiver 2006-04-19 to T3CH 2006-07-24
Always best to start 100% fresh with XBMC, unless you are using the same person's build every time. Because of this, and the constant updating, it is MHO that XBMC is not up to being a dashboard yet. I like how customizable UnleashX is personally, as well as a lot of it's features...it's a solid dashboard and does what it needs to....not perfect, but at least it's stable

1. Use your retail copy of a newer live enabled game. Halo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Dead or Alive Ultimate all work for me
2. Xbox Live is enabled via coldboot. Place your ORIGINAL Live enabled game in the tray, turn off the power, turn it back on via the small button. You must already have a live account, and you must only use original game discs.
3. Using the Krayzie Installer Package for your chosen exploit disc, unrar/unzip the package and find the Rescue Disc folder. Follow the instructions to make a properly working rescue disc. Alternately, you can just completely remove the softmod via the Exploited Game Save already found on your drive.
4. When starting over, be sure to use Krayzie's 1.1.1.
To Krayzie
----------
I've begun work on the updated version of your installer:
Changes since Krayzie's 1.1
Updated mod core to 1.1.1 base
Updated/corrected spelling and grammar errors. Clarified language
Renamed "Basic Installation" to "Full Installation"
Changed positions of dash choices so UnleashX was the default
Still to do:
Update UnleashX xbe file to latest version
Update DVDX xbe file to hex edited auto progressive scan version
Rename/reorder the "Extras" menu to differenciate between Extras and Advanced Extras.
Beta Test the install

Your question doesn't make any sense.
krayzie never uploaded 1.1.1. you can only get it (for now) by combining 1.1 (usual places) with the 1.1.1 update (krayzie's Signature)
if you open the package and look at the contents you will be able to READ what version you have.
Do yourself, and me, a favor....go back about 10 pages or so and look at my responses to everyone else. your questions have probably been answered in this thread already.
otherwise, start 100% completely over and follow my instructions, which i've given you twice already.
Get Package (1.1)
Update package (1.1.1)
Update dashboard to 5960 via Halo 2, Jade Empire, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Sid Meier's Pirates, or other newer live enabled game
Install Save(s)
Exploit game
backup eeprom
copy eeprom to PC via FTP
Copy C Drive to PC via FTP
Copy E Drive to PC via FTP
Finish mod
Open package and use Rescue Disc and Extras Disc readmes to setup discs
use qwix to make ISO
use Alcohol/nero to burn

2)What is this 1.1.1 update and where can I get it? (OK, DONE BUT NOT SURE WHAT IT UPDATES)

You can update to the latest UX upon completion of the install, if you are hooked into the net. I'm doing a version of the package with updated xbe files, it will be about another 2 weeeks or so before i'll release it to beta though.
QUOTE(broadbander)
2)What is this 1.1.1 update and where can I get it?
On the main page, one can see krayzie's update stickied....otherwise, just click the link in krayzie's sig, or wait for my release.
QUOTE(broadbander)
3)I'm having compatiblity issues with newer games, is this somethin related to the softmod, dashboard or nkpatcher version?
Any compatibility issues you have *probably* have nothing to do with EITHER the mod/nkpatcher OR the dash. Depending on the issue, it is more likely that you have a problem with the method used for that game. This assumes you are attempting to use your legal backup off the hard drive or your own optical media.
QUOTE(broadbander)
4) The 1.1.1 update updates the nkpatcher in anyway so it could be mor compatible with newer games?
Which games are you talking about anyway? i've not run into a single problem yet. Do you have the same problem running the original game in modded mode?
QUOTE(broadbander)
5)I read somewhere that evox trainers are not the same as unleashx trainers... is this true? (i know is not softmod related but if you know the answer..well thanks)
I haven't seen UX trainers. I don't use Evox as i feel it's outdated. XBMC has trainers if you REALLY need them.
QUOTE(broadbander)
6)How exactly can i dualboot or tripleboot in order to have evox,unleash and Live enabled MSdash (if this is posible)
You can dualboot either:
UX and Live Dash
UX and MS Dash
UX and AltDash (Evox, AvaLaunch, etc)
UX and XBMC
You can replace UX with Evox in all those situations. You can also dual boot to pretty much any xbe...just place it in the proper folder, and KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE TRYING THIS
Your main dash goes in E:\Dashboard
Your 2ndary dash goes in E:\Dashboard\AltDash
XBMC goes in E:\Apps\XBMC
when you choose your boot options in the exploited game save (after install is complete), the mod will look launch any dash you have in E:\Dashboard with the power button, and AltDash or XBMC (in that order) upon hitting Eject.
You can also choose to dualboot up with EITHER the M$Dash or with the Live Account Management Dash. From what i understand right now, there is no "Live Enabled M$Dash" (no friends list, no voice chat).
Triple boot works exactly the same, with the exception that hitting Eject pushes out the tray, and then a new boot option happens with any habibi signed disc....no disc? it boots up to the dual boot option you selected.
Post by: eternallypuzzled on September 07, 2006, 08:31:00 PM
i have a 1.6 box with, i believe, the latest dash- if this makes any difference at all.
1. should i use ndure 1.1? is that all?
2. should i use a splinter cell installer? is this the most compatible?
3. if i cant find an action replay, can i still rig up a usb thing-a-ma-jig? i read somewhere that i
cant? if so, what do i use for tool, etc.
4. can i rebuild a drive this way? without opening up the xbox or pc?
reason why i ask these quesions is because i read different opinions and so forth on softmods. i also read about people have problems/conflicts, etc, depending on what paths they take.
thanks.

delete the save game file from all memory cards and your xbox. redownload the official exploit package for your chosen game from The Usual Place, and no other. Update to ver 1.1.1 via krayzie's link. Make sure you transfer it properly (via action replay, or FTP, or whatever method you have).
make sure all other unneeded saves are gone, and that you have enabled all modes that you can prior to starting the game.

Alright, I modded my friends xbox, but then decided to delete the softmod and do it at school, as part of my computer project (it was on xbox linux). But I didn't realize that doing so might mess it up if I try a full install after doing so. Even though I deleted all the files, I was pretty paranoid because I didn't wanna mess up his xbox. So I decided to do the minimum install, but I need to know one thing. What are the 5960 dashboard files that I need for the extras in order to put the MS dash back on it? I have a softmodded one that I can FTP into, I also downloaded Slayers EvoX installer 2.7 disk because I was told I could get them from it, but I need to know what files/folders I need to put in the MS DASHBOARD folder on the extras disk.

Dashboard 5960 can be more easily found via Halo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Dead or Alive: Ultimate. Simply run the game and try to do a Live game, making sure you do NOT have the network cable plugged in.
your dashboard will update to 5960.
now you can do the full install. during the backup stage, on E:\Backups you will find the original dashboard in a folder called Cdrive. that is 5960 also. make a copy of that and you are good.
i haven't disected the new slayer's yet, but you SHOULD be able to put the disc in a modded box and browse around in the files...look for the keyword of RETAIL C, and you will probably find 5960 there also.

I downloaded the Splinter Cell NTSC exploit from xbins, got the update package from krayzie's link, repacked the udata files, followed Joshatdot's tutorial, to get the files on a *new* Ridata 128mb usb stick i picked up on ebay for $5 (shipping included)
Then I used my controller-port-to-female-usb adapter from Amazon for $6.50 (shipping included) to load it on the HD. Splinter cell from gamestop was $2.99. Actually $2.69 cuz it didnt have the artwork on the case)
Followed this tut (thanks AzzidReign) and i was up and running in a few minutes.
Emulators and homebrew games were very easy to FTP over to the E:\emulators\ and \game folders. I don't recommend auto installers even if u r a n00b.
Thanks to all who made modding so easy. $15 + 20 min to read instructions + 10 min to complete the process.

Edits are only allowed for 15 minutes.
I would not suggest attempting to run a new version of NKPatcher over Krayzie's current installer. If you are that far advanced, check out Kingroach's thread on NDure related stuff....i'm sure you'll get all the help you need there.
or, hang out a bit longer ;-)
as for the Extras, i may release a slightly more clear version of them shortly, to hold people over, as well as the 1.1.2 AMOC update i did to the installer a few months back. if it gets enough support, that is

I have just softmodded a Crystal Xbox (V1.6b I think). Everything went fine using Krayzie's Ndure 1.1.1. I did the eeprom backup then basic install. I have since been trying to find this eeprom.bin file to store on my PC but cannot find it on the Xbox. The softmod said it would be stored in E:\Backups\eeprom\backup\eeprom.bin. I do not seem to have a E:\Backup folder when browsing the Xbox over FTP. I have also checked C: drive but that too has no Backup folder. Where could this file be? I am not intending to upgrade the harddisk, but just want to keep a copy for backup purposes.
Could someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Also though I do not know if this is related, whenever I FTP an application over to the E:\Apps folder, the program is copied across and is know listed in the Applications in UnleashX upons reboot, but always crashes the system when trying to run any FTP'd apps. The apps installed from CASH v1.1 work fine though. What could be causing this.

What is the latest NDURE Version? I had downloaded a version that I thought said 2.0. In the readme within the rar, it states "Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.0".
I would like to upgrade this, but I want to verify the current version number. I saw that you have a 1.1.1 updater, but it appears I have to have 1.1 installed.
I do have 1.0 and XBMC installed and working, however I am having problems with HD resolutions (grainy menus and videos in HD rez).
I see that there is a CASH 1.1 that appears will upgrade to NDURE 1.1... is this correct?
Basically, what is the current version and where is it available (if you can use the link in the forum)?

Yep, that's what did it. It worked fine with the standard RCA cables.
Thanks.
I am curious why the HD Pack would make a difference?
I too have an original v1 xbox with the HD pack. When I installed NDURE (1.0 it looks like) I had the xbox connected to a SD TV with the standard A/V cables and of course had no problems with the install. After I installed NDURE and XBMC 2.01 I switch to one of my HD LCD's displays using the M$ HD Pack.

And yes I did go the the M$ Dash and set it for Widescreen and all HD resolutions (to yes)....
I am wondering if this is some how related to my problem (or maybe virtual eeprom) since I installed NDURE when I had the xbox set to a SD display.

The current latest version is 1.1.1 which is 1.1 plus and ad on upgrader which makes ot 1.1.1
2.0 is not out there are however some packages out there labeled 2.0 but that is faulty and I don't now the morons who did that.
I recommend getting your xbox software on xbins like anyone else simce it's one of the few reliable sources out there.

I'm going to move my xbox to another room with another hd lcd and try new cables. Something is not right, my display is showing a 720p (or 1080i if I set this) signal from my xbox (1.0 version), but the menus and videos are not clear (even DVD). I also loaded NDURE (1.0) from the MA Gamesave and that menu looks terrible as well at 720p (I double checked the settings there too).
I think I will post a pic of the NDURE Menu eventually... further testing is needed now though...

Now time for me to figure out my HD quality issues...
Post by: BigHairyDave on January 07, 2007, 08:27:00 PM
I have a modded (Xcecuter 3) xbox and an unmodded crystal xbox.
My question is can I softmod the crystal xbox by changing drives and running some tool or script or do I have to follow the already well documented savegame method (I don't currently have one of the needed games) ?
My guess will be no because I think the only way to back up the EEPROM from the crystal xbox will be via a savegame exploit.

Here is my situation.
I copied the MA savefile (Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.1 I got from THE reliable source myself) to my xbox hd. I ran MA and selected 'Run Linux' as my profile.
Then the game asks what mission to choose without any list of missions.
I just clicked 'A and screen started flickering for ever without doing nothing.
After waiting for 20 minutes, I turned off and re-on the box and found nothing changes (seemingly) - e.g., game works fine and original dash comes up... but not modded. I tried several times and same things happened.
What's worng with this situation? What should I do? Please guide me... Thanks in advance.
(FYI, my kernel version is 5838 and dash version is 5960.)

I am curious why the HD Pack would make a difference?
I too have an original v1 xbox with the HD pack. When I installed NDURE (1.0 it looks like) I had the xbox connected to a SD TV with the standard A/V cables and of course had no problems with the install. After I installed NDURE and XBMC 2.01 I switch to one of my HD LCD's displays using the M$ HD Pack. When in HD resolutions, the quality is not what it should be, it is like it is not scaling the fonts/graphics/video right in 720p - fuzzy, blurry whatever... And yes I did go the the M$ Dash and set it for Widescreen and all HD resolutions (to yes)....
I am wondering if this is some how related to my problem (or maybe virtual eeprom) since I installed NDURE when I had the xbox set to a SD display.
at this point, i would suggest a re-mod
Get a fresh copy of the 1.1 installer.
upgrade to 1.1.1
Wipe out the old mod
delete the old game saves
install the new game saves
make 100% sure dash is clean 5960
delete any and all unnessecary game save data and sound tracks
Set your time, region, language
Using the HD pack and M$ dash, enable all video modes compatible with your monitor (i enable all in mods, and then set UnleashX to not display ones i do not want it using).
Remember that some of the exploits MAY have issues with 720p. I found that splinter cell does not like 720p enabled by itself in the dash, and doesn't like 720p and 480p enabled at the same time....eith just 480p or all 3 enabled are the only ways to go.
Hold down both triggers and "Click" both thumbsticks to enable 480p in M$ dash. Compare between 480i and 480p to make sure....text should be much more crisp and sharp.
While doing all this, set up your audio also. Again, i enable everything, and change settings as needed elsewhere.
This should get you petty well set the way i do things as a base point.
Mod your box

I'm not necessarily a noob at soft modding but I certainly have never done any advanced work.
I just spent about 8+ hours reading through all 98 pages of this thread in the hopes of finding an answer to my question. I may have skimmed in some places but I'm confident the answer to my question was not directly answered already. I have definitely learned a lot, but the only mention of anything close to what I'm interested in is in the following discussion between the two of you.
QUOTE(A Murder of Crows @ May 10 2006, 03:19 PM)
So....the default.xbe that is used as the first menu in the installer isn't UnleashX? Same for the Extras? I was going to go thru the whole package and use the newest UnleashX version, if for no other reason than because it was slightly smaller.
QUOTE(Krayzie @ May 10 2006, 10:42 PM)
@A Murder of Crows: there is only one unleashx inside each folder (gamesave installer, Extras and Rescue disc. Within those folder various parts and xml's are copied/renamed to make the menu look different throughout and after the installation.
For reference these quotes are taken from a discussion that started in post 1111 on page 75 if you want to go back and jog your memories.
With that said, now I'll get to my question. Did you ever succeed in getting the most current version of UnleashX into the installer? If so may I ask how? I am mostly interested in doing to better understanding the inner workings of the package and to gain some experience working inside these files. Was it as simple as replacing all instances of the related files with the updated ones?
This leads to my major question which is for both A Murder of Crows and Krayzie. Is it possible to replace the dashboards located in the installer for ones of my choosing? I realize since the package is written in UnleashX scripts it would be difficult to replace that one, but what about replacing Evolution X, maybe with Avalaunch or XBMC 2.0? I guess the biggest thing is that I assume all the Dashboard files are easily located within the file structure of the package itself and not tucked away in some executable that would require some sort of decompiling or anything, is that true?
On a lighter note I have a couple of other questions I couldn't find a reference too.
Will this work on all Xbox versions?
Can I play backup games on Xbox live?
And @A Murder of Crows, I'm having trouble getting my mod to work with my version 0.9456 Xbox and 18TB HDD can you post that tutorial of yours on how to do it for the 1,000,000th time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thanks in advance for all the help guys
IT should also be obvious by now that the answers to the last three questions are really not required.

Yes, i did. seek ye Krayzie's NDure 1.1.1 AMOC edition, beta 1. Only a handful ever got it, but it does have the last version of UnleashX available....this isn't really a good thing, though, as there were a LOT of oddball bugs i was finding...i myself am testing out the version BEFORE the last to see if it any more stable...so far, i've found only one key combo that crashes it...but with work on UX seeming to be over, i doubt anyone will ever get the fixes.
Evox is not replaceable in the 1.X series as it is what is used to make a backup of your eeprom. However, you CAN follow the instructions in the 1.1.X packages to make an extras disc and within the extras, install your own emulators.
the easy answer is this: No, you can't replace them in the installer, except with newer versions that are still compatible with the same function calls/scripting, not only because they are needed, but also because, in the case of XBMC, they are too big to fit on a memory card/action replay.

Yes, though occasionally you may find that you will need to reformat the hard drive to make things work 100% correctly...generally a problem that has happened BEFORE the mod was installed

No problem.
Take your xbox in both hands. slam said xbox against your forehead. repeat until the xbox glows with unearthly light when you look at it. Your xbox, and probably your forehead, are now considered modded.
I honestly answered the first 2 questions because i feel it is pretty legit...there have been a lot of questions regarding versions.
the 2nd answer about the backups is also somewhat valid in the light of the samsung firmware mods.
the last, well, now you are being silly.
take care

So would you say the version of UnleashX on the installer is the best choice as far as options, compatability and stability go? What is the key combo that crashes it so I can predict how much it would affect games played on it?

It won't affect games at all....i have seen UnleashX crash when you start the skins menu and then hit the BACK button before the skins list has completely loaded.

Anyway, while installing a new 750gig hard drive in my box I learned I needed to upgrade my dash to 5960, which I did and that I needed to use nkpatcher .67
I installed Krayzie's for just this reason. Mind you the box was already modded using SIDs. I installed Krayzie's and it took, I turned on the box, booted up UnleashX and for some reason it won't see the G: drive and the F: drive is only showing 120g (or so).
Am I getting this problem because it was modded beforehand?
I tried redoing it but with installing Evox this time (which of course didn't work) but I noticed in Evox it said "Bios Unknown" at the top of the scrn. Could this be the reason I'm having trouble?
Thanks in advance if anyone can lend a hand.

Have you actually enabled the G drive in UnleashX's settings? It defaults to disabled.

No. EvoX just doesn't have a checksum for the nkpatcher-patched retail bios.

Now onto MY question:
I did the splinter cell exploit to install Krayzie's latest. I then did my initial backup and saved all that stuff (c drive and eeprom) then I started to tinker... and XBMC does not share well with macs, which I was disappointed with. anyway...
after messing around for a few hours, i wanted to see if I truly could "go back" to standard xbox mode and play my live games. I went into Krayzie's and chose "uninstall softmod". And then my adventure began...
I got the dreaded "error 21" and this reminded me of my modchip times, and this was not good. so i then somehow FTPd and got the thing back running the way it "WAS" before I tried to uninstall the softmod. However, to do this, I could NOT do a standard install, I had to do a MINIMAL install from krayzie's. As I have learned, because I did a minimal install, i CANNOT do the dual boot thing that I have on the EXTRAS folder which I copied over.
I would LIKE to have one xbox with a bigger HD that I can also get on xbox Live, WITH my A/V kit... if this is possible, I will do what it takes to make it happen. However, I would first like to get THIS box with its standard drive with a full install and be able to do a dual boot so I can get into xbox live and play games with my buddies. I just updated my live subscription in November, so I have some time left.
I am willing to PAY (even paypal) someone to walk me through the steps I need to do in order to get from A to B. I see this as worthwhile consultant fee, and those with knowledge should be paid for it.
If there is ANYONE that wishes to walk me through this (Krayzie or some other senior member) please contact me at bcasey1 :at: hotmail :dot: com and we can work something out. I have access in my place to 2 pcs 2 macs and they are all networked wirelessley through the same router.

your first mistake. if you had read up a bit, you would have seen that all you need to do with Krayzie's is cold boot your original game. Though there have been some strange bannings lately. Krayzie and i are looking in to it as we find time, which isn't often. More info can be found in the Online Gaming forums.

1) to get on live with the larger hard drive, you will need a new virgin eeprom, a virgin hard drive, and a clean gamertag.
2) to get your box running properly, you need to return your box to stock. i suggest using slayers if you haven't made a rescue/restore disc. after that, update the dash to 5960, and reinstall the mod using the full/basic install.
3) you DON'T NEED TO HAVE DUAL BOOT TO GET ON LIVE. read up a bit, and you'll see you simply need to cold boot the disc.

i've contacted you to attempt to help you out. to prepare, restore your xbox to stock, get fresh copies of the saves, update it, and put the exploit saves on the box. go into the M$ dash and set all your settings properly, including the different video modes. delete any un-needed save games from the memory manager, and try to get rid of any soundtracks you don't need.
i'll wait to hear from you for a couple of hours today, but i'm doing a rebuild on my PC soon, so get back asap.

whatever bios you have on your stock xbox. NDure uses NKPatcher to patch the retail bios in memory.
using xbpartitioner in combination/after XboxHDMaker, you can theoretically use any size hard drive available that has the right interface and is able to be locked. you just have to use the right cluster size.

you missed what i said about a post or 2 ago. the bios that is loaded is the RETAIL bios. it is patched with NKPatcher in RAM. you can't use XBTool for this. this is krayzie's version of the NDure installer, made to be completely easy for the n00b. with NDure, you make all your choices in the NDure package prior to installing the mod.
with Krayzie's installer, the dashboard boot order is as follows if you have multiboot enabled:
E:\Dashboard\Default.xbe
E:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
E:\Dashboard\AltDash\default.xbe
LBA48 is enabled. you have a choice between F gets all and F gets 127, G gets rest.

you missed what i said about a post or 2 ago. the bios that is loaded is the RETAIL bios. it is patched with NKPatcher in RAM. you can't use XBTool for this. this is krayzie's version of the NDure installer, made to be completely easy for the n00b. with NDure, you make all your choices in the NDure package prior to installing the mod.
with Krayzie's installer, the dashboard boot order is as follows if you have multiboot enabled:
E:\Dashboard\Default.xbe
E:\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe
E:\Dashboard\AltDash\default.xbe
LBA48 is enabled. you have a choice between F gets all and F gets 127, G gets rest.
Is there any way to change any of that? (while still using this mod as is?)
Thank btw, (how the heck do you +rep?)

Depends on what you mean by change. NKPatcher's job is to patch the retail bios. how it patches it is decided by the settings you select prior to compiling the mod. If you are using Krayzie's, there are several presets already selected for you. if you don't want to use Krayzie's, jump ship from here and do a search for KingRoach's NDure threads. this will allow you to make your own NDure based softmod.
now, if you want to change what directory the mod uses to launch a dashboard, the easiest way is to use an Xbox Shortcut Maker. Choose where you want the shortcut to point, name it properly and assign it a Save Data number that matches the one of the xbe you want it to point to. Create the shortcut and name it "default.xbe". then place that file into the E:\Dashboard (or E:\Dashboard\AltDash) folder. The mod will load, find the shortcut, and launch the associated xbe.
the only trick to this is that you may not be able to point it to a folder on RealC, as ShadowC will already be invoked at this time. Placing it on ShadowC can prove pretty dangerous.
Either way, you will never be able to do use anything like XBTool to change settings. and honestly, there aren't many settings you'd want to change anyway....Short of placing the dashboard on RealC and then hiding it so the end user can't mess it up, there is no real reason to have anything anywhere else, and no settings i know of worth changing. Krayzie's installer is designed to be n00b friendly, secure, and Live Safe. The layout is so well done that i actually use it to base my hard mods on, placing my dashboard in E:\Dashboard, etc.
Thanx for the rep....though if you want to give me a real push, send a note to Krayzie or a couple of other moderators on the forums and let them know how useful my post was. i've been considering talking to some of these guys about being a moderator for a couple of forums.
Good luck, and enjoy it.

I thought that it would be easier to change stuff and less chance of screwing things up. My friend gave me a burned cd that was suppose to have my back up orginal eeprom and harddrive. So I booted up splinter cell and it booted up the modded dash chirst I cant remember what the dash was called now. IT had the option to unistall the soft mod. I chose the option to restore from cd/dvd. It rebooted and started the xbox green ms dash starts up and then I get nothing but a black screen. The dvd drive works and it appears the xbox is running. Is there a way to get back out of the option to to restore from cd/dvd cause I'm thinking thats whats it's trying to do. The cd my friend gave me does not have my back ups on it and he didn't save em.
I think I have ftp access through the mod chip if I put The chip in. It's a Xenium Gold. All I want is the orginal xbox restored to factory. The xbox is a 1.4 with thompson dvd never been hook up to live.
I've been reading posts for about 18 hours now and I'm totally lost so could someone please tell me what my options are and how in the hell to get back to the orginal xbox. That way I can start fresh and do all the hacks with the chip.
Thank you for any help and sorry for the long post.

Yes, pal version will work, just make sure to use the PAL based Exploit save for splinter cell.
as for the rest of it....all your questions are answered in the readmes. for my sanity, go back and read them. if you don't understand, read them again. if you still don't understand, think about if you really should be modding your box. If you are still at a loss after that, i'll tell you

Anyone using this (hotswap all in one disc) method be warned - there are still functions of the mod that REQUIRE the disc and the original exploit files.
Until such a time comes that zzk is able to provide 100% of the support for this on his own in an articulate manner, or unless you (the end user) are far more knowledgeable than the average user for which Krayzie's Installer was made for, it is my position that you do not use this. This simply isn't how Krayzie's installer is meant to be used, and though it will get you modded without the disc or a memory card/action replay, some functions of your mod will be inherently crippled because that disc is missing.
No Bashing, no blaming. We will not be able to provide support for this method, period. We will not be able to take any responsibility for what may happen if you use this method.
The administrator of this forum will be notified of the position and the continued stance that this should not be allowed for distribution publicly until zzk can demonstrate an ability to support those who choose to use this in a clear, concise, technical manner.
This same post will be made at the Xbox-Scene official Krayzie's NDure support thread, so that even if zzk decides it should not be here and deletes this post, people searching the X-S forums will know.

All that I think that I realy need to know is if the "tri boot" is actualy flashed to the bios or if it is just another "back door" in case the "default dashboard" becomes corrupt, or if someone is stupid enough to delete it or something. Im just wanting to make sure 100% before I try anything, even though I know that you mentioned in your readme file that the "rescue disc" is good for setting up new HDs. One more thing, I wont need to unlock my HD or anything will I?Anyway, I know that I probably sound like a big noob, but I did my homework. I just wanted to check from this site first.

1. You can't simply put a new HDD in and pop a disc in and format/prepare the drive. With a chip you could. Look into XBOXHDM for upgrading your HDD.

(1) use any application that will make it into an XISO (e.g. "SimpleXISOv03") and butn it with any application that will burn it as an image (I use "ImgBurn").
(2) I would reccoment "Mimesis", "Xored" trainer launcher (with any trainers that you want in the trainer folder)(dont put too many trainers in though because I have heard of people having realy bad trouble when they put like 300 trainers on the xbox[xbox doesent boot]), "Halo Cache Editor v0.7" (also known as HCE), if you want than you can just put the dashboard "avalaunch" in your xbox apps folder and download XBMC directly to your xbox from the avalaunch dashboard (if your xbox is connected to the internet).

Ok, I looked at the tutorial for the program "XBOXHDM" and I have a little problem. I own a laptop, so I cant just open it up and hotswap with the xbox HD. Does anyone know of a method that would work for me (possibly an easier, and less expensive method)? I have "config magic'" so I guess that it would be possible to unlock my HD if I needed to (note that I have a softmod not a mod chip). I have heard of a usb to IDE cable before but I dont know if I would be able to use that (if I got my hands on one). In addition I wouldn't be able to remove my PC HD when using "XBOXHDM," but I do have recovery discs for my laptop so I could restore it if I screwed it up.
also, are you sure that the "XBOXHDM" method is the only way that I could prepare the new HD for the xbox? I hate the thought of having to hook the HD to my PC, lol Im just too lazy for that

The only other way you can install a new HDD with a softmod is to have a chipped XBOX. You can take ConfigMagic and flash your softmodded box's eeprom to the chipped box. Once that is done you can then put a HDD in the chipped box and build it as necessary and when done you lock it, then put it back in the softmod box and it will boot right up. Then the original eeprom from the chipped box can be restored.
But if you don't have a chipped box handy, you can't do that.
The only other easy way would be to TSOP or chip it, as those will boot an unlocked HDD.
Also, don't unlock your stock HDD at all. If you unlock it, your xbox will no longer boots (softmods don't boot unlocked HDD's).

assuming you are talking about the "krayzie ndure," yes. You just go to "krayzie extras" (after you put the "krayzie extras" folder (which is zipped [.rar] in the gamesave exploit) in your "apps" folder. Go to it and then go to "launch extras" and enter the password "YABX" and then start. then go to professional mod and select it. you will then reboot to your default dashboard with all vertual protections off, and you will have ftp access to your real "C" files. completely shut down and turn the xbox back on to exit professional mode. Its as simple as that

Hay I have looked around a little bit on HD reformatting and I might have found a solution for my laptop and xboxhdm. A USB to IDE cable would allow me to connect a regular descktop HD to my laptop externally. The only thing that I am not sure about is if the software that is used to lock/unlock and xboxhdm would work that way.
USB 2.0 to IDE

play .ISO's directly from HDD < can be done with certain mod bios (IND5003, evox M8+)
put a switch and split the TSOP then you can have both a soft and hard mod
there are 4 things that NDURE with NKPatcher can do over a mod bios without a switch
use the XBL xonlinedash < this is a NDURE only feature and must use a stock MS bios
shadowC < nkpatcher only
virtual EEPROM < nkpatcher only
play .ISO's directly from HDD < can be done with certain mod bios (IND5003, evox M8+)
put a switch and split the TSOP then you can have both a soft and hard mod
Sorry xman, I don't mean to be a pain, but, I said it was TSOPPed and I'm not exactly sure it was. It was modded for me about 5 years ago and I know I don't have a chip. I don't go on xbox live, I use this xbox mostly just for emulators watching movies. Is there any other way to get around this without having to reflash?

If you want the advantages of a newer bios without reflashing you could just let your tsopped bios boot to phoenix bios loader.

I figured I would just run the exploit again to restore anything I might have messed up. But now when I run the installer (I had to copy the save again to the xbox) it tells me I no longer have the 5960 dash so it stopped the install.
I know I deleted the udata and tdata folders and I don't really care about recovering my saved games or music. But I don't know what to do next. I am not sure how to create a rescue disk to get the unit back to stock to try again. Prior to the attempt I had K:5530 and D:5960. I do have my eeprom backed up both on the e drive and the pc. I think I still have my backed up c drive in e\backup.
So now when I boot the box with the power button in it it loads to the extra's launcher unleash page. I can attempt to install a dual boot but upon reboot I get the extra launcher page every time. When I power up via the eject button xbox original Dash loads fine with the proper (old) 5960 dash.
Lastly if you or others can help thank you. It is redundant to state I am a noob but I would also appreciate a recommendation as to what dash to install unleash or evolution? Thanks, Joe

Krayzie, Could you help? You did a great job on the installer but I screwed it up. I installed everything ok and then went to add the extra files. I added them to the root E drive by mistake so I re-copied (ftped) them over to the apps folder. Then I started deleting things from the root E drive. Not sure what all I deleted but did not delete the eeprom backup or the apps.

Joe,
If you can still FTP to your xbox and you don't care about the data the easiest method would be to replace everything with original m$dash files.
D/L slayers .iso http://slayer.xbox-scene.com/
Extract using xiso http://www.xbox-scen...icles/xbins.php
Under system\all you want folder c and e.
First make sure everything is set up, wires where nobody can trip over them etc... (if you screw up during this you will have to resort to hot-swap to fix). This step should only take ten mins, if that.
Ftp to your xbox
copy the backup of your eeprom to PC
Delete everything on C and E
Copy the slayers C and E over to the base of their respective drives
Restart
This will put you back into virgin M$ state (but with the 5960 dash). From here you can just redo Krayzie's installer.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten some of what I did. I've gotten all the files I need from xbins. I updated the 1.1 installer I had from last time with that 1.1.1 update. I've read the readme files, but I can't help but thinking I missed something. I was wondering if there was a guide somethere in this thread that I missed.
I want to get everything settled out and ready for the install before I start doing anything. This xbox has a busted dvd drive and I'm temporarily swapping out a drive from one of my working xboxes to get it modded. I'm only using this for streaming my recorded tv shows, so I really don't need the dvd drive.
I do want to say thanks to all the developers of this installer. It worked perfectly last time I used it. I just wish I could remember everything I did last time.

Maybe if there's anyone with some ux scriping skills and knows his way with Nkpatcher he can make an updated version. I will offcourse help with testing and stuff.
On the other hand the Xbox1 is becoming more and more overaged and the package is fine as it is. All the updates that came after weren't really important or notciced anyway (imo).

The fact that the Xbox is getting old also means that it is getting cheap. So, for me it is cheaper than another PC to run as a MythTV frontend. Thanks to folks like Krayzie who keep these 'overaged' boxen alive and kicking. I am waiting for my Xbox to arrive so I can tear in to it. If successful, I will probably buy several. Thanks.

I've previously installed the NDure installer + XBMC on an XBox and it works wonderful. Thanks to Krayzie for this greatness.
My question regards a second XBox I'm trying to convert. I assembled the items necessary to do the SC based install for my first XBox convert. However, things don't seem to be working the second time around. I've gone back, in case there was data corruption, and reloaded the memory card via AR with the two saves. I've copied the saves to the Xbox HD. Then I put SC into the XBox, start up, and go through the procedure to the point where I select the linux install saved game, then I am supposed to press the A button twice. I do this and it just sits there...nothing happens. As far as I recall, things are supposed to start loading nearly immediately, but I've left it for up to an hour with no change.
I'm using the same AR, the same mem card, the same SC game disc, etc. The only thing that's changed is that this is a different XBox console. Has anybody ran into this situation previously, and if so, is there a workaround or something I may have missed?
Thanks. I apologize if this has already been addressed, but this thread has 107 pages, which is quite a bit of territory to cover.

Hi to all,
I'm trying to install Ndure Installer using Splinter Cell. I was able to access the menu and clicked on the 1st EEPROM back-up option. After a few seconds, the screen said "backing up EEPROM", and then went to the blank black screen, and my XBOX got red ring light. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have previously installed an Evox softmod on my XBOX, but I did removed it and updated my dash to the current.
Any help is greatly appreciate!
a red led is normal when the installer is loaded. After the eeprom backup you have to return to the main menu. If you don't see anything maybe your save is corrupted or your video cable is messed up

I'm using AR to transfer my saves. I deleted my original gamesave, and unplugged my XBOX and left it for dead about a month ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) . Rite now I can't FTP into my box. I also tried SID 4.0 installer, but after loading the save through the game it just give me a blank screen w/ no menu (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif) . If somehow I can FTP into my box what do I look that would fix my problem, so I can install you installer?

When the first screen is loaded you have ftp acces. Then delete the save in the e:\data folder and transfer the save manually via ftp. Then try again.
Btw backing up the eeprom takes less then a second
Post by: VNCyclo on January 24, 2008, 01:16:00 AM
I managed to FTP to my XBOX. I have two folders in the E: drive (a TDATA and UDATA folder). Which one do I need to delete? When I FTP the Ndure gamesave over to XBOX, where do I leave at, and do I need to keep it in .zip format?
Thank you for staying with me here man.

Another quick way to ftp it afterwards is to first make a iso out of xbmc and let qwix ftp it over (optionally using avalaunch. It can handle large numbers of small files much quicker then standard ftp or dvd copy.

Just put a rarred xbmc in the package and let the instaler extract it instead of the usual dash.
I too love this method for softmodding, but prefer (as others) XBMC. Would putting a rarred XBMC in the package be the only thing necessary - or would "that" require the scripting. I know nothing about scripting. Thanks either way Krayzie

-Get the newest version of xbmc.
-Make sure there is a default.xbe in the main folder of xbmc
-Make sure the main folder of xbmc is called XBMC
-Make a rar file of the main XBMC folder
-Put the xbmc.rar file in the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder (wherever your save is)
-In the ....\21585554\000000000000\ folder rename config.xml to config.backup

Thanks for the 007 & Mech files now. OK I want to check this out - but am having issues with this latest Xbox. I have a 1.3 that I ended up chipping because it came with no HD (E-bay). With X2 it is up & running, ran Evox backup for the Eeprom.bin. I used that file for xboxhdm to make a stock HD....error 6 & 7. I cannot get the M$ dash working. I went back to the modchip & its working. Can I just FTP the new Mech files over to the Tdata / Udata & execute it from Boxplorer - & run the softmod that way? Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question...

I know I need to be in some alternative dashboard when FTPing the new version of XBMC across.
OK, I had a read throught the XML files and it's fairly obvious it's E:\dashboard\ when you bother to look, sorry.
I've hit a second snag though, I can't seem to be able to install the evolution-x dashdoard to E:\Apps\ I can FTP it across but it's not selectable as an applicaion in XBMC or Avalaunch. Is there a work around for this? It's no biggie as I have avalaunch available but if possible I'd prefer evox.

you can update by replacing the files in the dashboard folder. also when placing evox in apps folder rename evoxdash.xbe to default.xbe

I've chipped five or six boxes in the past. I'm comfortable with how the dash replacements work. I've read that if I want to install XBMC (or any other dash) that I can copy the files to E\Dashboard\. However, once I install with the NTSC SC expolit my E drive has "backups", "CACHE", "TDATA", and "UDATA"... those are the only directories on E. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a bunch.

I got it figured out Krayzie. When I FTP'd into the box there was not E\Dashboard\. But I just went ahead and made the folder and copied my XBMC into it and that worked.

When I originally tried this I have a dashboard version of 5659 which I understand is not the minimum version. I updated the dashboard on the xbox to 5960 however I still have the same problems. The unit still powers up and can play games no problem. Any ideas? I have tried removing the files from the xbox's hd and reinstalling them however I still have the same problem.

1. Krayzie Ndure 1.1.1.
2. You can update to 5960 dash later. Ndure basic will work with your current dash. Slayer's or CASH will have latest dash but you need to be softmodded first.
3. Usual place.
4. UnleashX my personal choice due to built-in file manager as a matter of convenience. But EvoX isn't too bad a choice also and the dash has its own fans - due to features like flashing of bios. XBMC can also be used as a dash.
Post by: czzer on June 24, 2008, 09:35:00 PM
First up, thanks Krayzie for putting the time into this project. It really was a pleasure to use, and very easy.
Some background:
I just bought a second hand XBox wih the intention of running XBMC on it for streaming media to my TV. After heaps of reading and pages and pages of printing I got all the necessary items together to attempt Krayzie's mod.
I first updated the 1.1 pack to 1.1.1 on the PC.
Next I transferred the Game Saves (Splinter Cell PAL version) to a USB stick using XPLorer360
I connected the USB stick to the XBox with an adapter cable, transferred the Saves across, fired up Splinter Cell and ran the Exploit.
After the EEPROM backup step, the first thing I did was FTP into the XBox and back up C and E drive to my PC.
The rest of the install was fine, up until the "Press OK to re-boot and activate the Shadow C: drive" part.
When I did this, the XBox re-booted to the XBox splash screen (I think I've seen it referred to as "Flubber"??), but the hard drive started making a horrible "Clack -Click" noise until eventually I got an error screen with 07 in the corner.
I had only turned the box on 2 or 3 times before instaling the mod, and it seemed to be fine.
After the error, I powered off and waited a few minutes before trying again. This time it powered up fine with the UnleashX dashboard, and all seemed to work well, so I put it down to a minor glitch.
Later I power up again to install XBMC and the same thing happened. The first attempt failed, but a wait then retry got it working and I installed XBMC.
Now, however, it seems to have failed completely, and won't boot at all no matter how many times I try or how long I wait. I just get the "Clack - Click" and the error 07.
I'm 90% sure it's a hardware fault and I just got unlucky and got a drive that was on it's way out. Fortunately the store I bought the machine from gives a 12 month warranty on second hand units, so I'm not worried about that. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had done that had caused the fault, before I try again on the replacement unit.
Is there anyway at all the installer (or more correctly, the mug using the installer) can cause a hard drive failure as I described? I'm pretty certain the answer is no, but I thought I should check anyway.

Only hotswapping may damage the hdd. Gamesave exploits won't have that kind of side-effect. Since you have complete backups of C and E including the eeprom.bin with ftp, you can actually do a complete xboxhdm rebuild and take the opportunity to do a hdd upgrade if you wish. I wished I was as meticulous as you when I did my softmod.

Thanks for that. It's pretty much what I figured. I did consider upgrading the HDD, but I thought it would be safer to get a new unit and keep the warranty, just in case something else breaks. I'll do the upgrade when the warranty is up.
I did heaps of reading before attempting the mod, hence my backing everything up.
I guess that's an advantage of being a late-adopter of this setup...I am fortunate to be able to learn from everyone else's mistakes
wow that's cool. me too gonna start softmodding my xbox, only after 3 years of owning it. actually, i modded my xbox360 and psp earlier than my xbox.
just a question :- i downloaded the ndure1.1 from the 'usual place' and just to make sure i downloaded the right stuff - i got to use the NTSC ver of ndure for my NTSC/J console? i am using the SC exploit to do it.Post by: steveo1978 on October 02, 2008, 12:57:00 AM

I finally got Krayzie's Ndure Installer to work for me - THANKS, to Krayzie for writing it and all the info on this site - it was a Crap AR memory card that was the problem - used a Dane-Elect 128Mb and it works!
So, I got the latest xbmc "XBMC-SVN_2008-10-06_rev15805-T3CH-BETA2", Un-rar-ed it, and followed the instructions to put the xml files and xbmc.rar into the ../0000000.. directory of the xbox (do the xml files need to be edited (e.g. the IP is 192.168.0.200, and my xbox is 118...?).
Now, I feel like a DOOFUS for asking, but how does one get to the "basic softmod menu"?
I assume you rerun the basic softmod (insert Splinter Cell disk select "linux"...) but it does not seem obvious.
Post by: steveo1978 on October 06, 2008, 10:01:00 PM
install XBMC as an app (in E:\apps) run it and make sure it works before you try either
1) use the included shortcuts in the XBMC .rar file (they are in tools folder) and rename the SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.xbe to default.xbe and rename SHORTCUT by TEAM XBMC.cfg to default.cfg and place them into the E:\dashboard folder make sure the apth to the XBMC default.xbe is E:\apps\XBMC\default.xbe when done restart xbox
2)after testing XBMC move the contents of E:\apps\XBMC to E:\dashboard and restart

I finally got Krayzie's Ndure Installer to work for me - THANKS, to Krayzie for writing it and all the info on this site - it was a Crap AR memory card that was the problem - used a Dane-Elect 128Mb and it works!
So, I got the latest xbmc "XBMC-SVN_2008-10-06_rev15805-T3CH-BETA2", Un-rar-ed it, and followed the instructions to put the xml files and xbmc.rar into the ../0000000.. directory of the xbox (do the xml files need to be edited (e.g. the IP is 192.168.0.200, and my xbox is 118...?).
Now, I feel like a DOOFUS for asking, but how does one get to the "basic softmod menu"?
I assume you rerun the basic softmod (insert Splinter Cell disk select "linux"...) but it does not seem obvious.
I asume you talk about the xml files I prepared for installing xbmc directly. Thos are only for people that have large usb drives and wan't to install xbmc along with the softmod instead of afterwards. It's not for installing xbmc afterwards!
For installing xbmc after you installed the softmod better follow Steveos directions or use the dash option in the extras menu.

Hello, I am a newbie with installing software on the xbox. I am trying to get the Softmod to come up when I boot up my xbox. I have installed the software as per the screen directions. No errors have come up. I have installed the latests version V2 and installed the 67 option. When I boot up my xbox I get a blank black screen. The ejected button is Orange, which sounds correct, but I see nothing on the screen.
What do I need to do?
All help most welcome
Cheers
John
version V2? Krayzie's Ndure only comes up to version 1.1.1. See if you can cold boot game disc and then loads the gamesave on the hdd. That will give you ftp access to fix things.

I am pleased to announce that I finalized the 1.0 version of the installer and it will be available soon. If you have any feedback or questions do not be afraid to post them.
Is there a guide please?
What version of the games are needed (ie part number etc). I already have 007 Agent Under Fire but its the classic version so wondering if this will do?

Exploitable games can be easily identified - have a look here. Classic Hits AUF is unlikely to work.

You don't say where you are in the world, but in the UK you can always find copies of Splinter Cell in Cash Converters and other similar shops for around £2.00, and the advantage of Splinter Cell is that all copies of the original game are exploitable.

You meation Krayzie 1.1.1, but I'm only found instal guides for 1.1. Do I need to instal 1.1 first and then 1.1.1 or can I simply simple 1.1.1 straight away?
I'm from UK. Actually had splinter cell up until a few months back, but sold it! Not to worry, will get another off ebay. I take it I need the first splinter cell game (pandora etc will not work)?
Post by: Heimdall on April 10, 2010, 07:50:00 AM
The differences between 1.1 and 1.1.1 are minor. You just take the 1.1 mods and replace a couple of config files with the replacements from the 1.1.1 update kit before you copy them to your Xbox. Alternatively you can apply the update after doing the mod. The update kit has full instructions.
Yes, you need the original Splinter Cell - Pandora etc. do not work.

I've got hold of splinter cell now, but need a guide if possible? The only guides I can find relate to installing using AR etc. Is there a guide available for the way you suggested please as I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct?
I unzipped udata.zip for game save 1 & 2, which leaves me with folders '5553000c' & '21585554'. Folder 5553000c copies ok to USB and I can transfer this to the unmodded xbox fine, but when I try to copy folder 21585554 to USB, it fails to copy?

It's prob too big to go all onto the USB\Mem card,
I find it easier to just plop on a SC Save that has EvoX & FTP Support setup already built into it and then once I get that gamesave onto the USB\MC which should fit without any issues, copy it over to the xbox via the MS Dash on the unmodded Xbox and then i launch the game and get into EvoX and then fire up FTP and delete the contents of UDATA on E:\ then toss onto the 2 Ndure SC Installtion \ Setup save is too big to get totally onto 1 MC unless you had one that held more than your normal MC does.
Post by: dupfold on April 15, 2010, 11:56:00 AM
File not to big for my USB (1gb). Both games saves only come to 12mb so not sure what its not copying.
Really need an easy to follow guide please if there is one.

Soft mod complete now thank you, but how do I install a large hard drive after using this soft mod? I tried with my past method used with hot swap which consists of running NDTS which allows full access to C: & E:, FTP'ed, created disc etc and put in xbox. Xbox boots but with unexpected reasons. It boots to dash 'Xbox live setup' screen and cannot navagate away from this.
How do I install a larger harddrive now please?

I'm now trying to restore my hdd to retail and mod via my tried and tested way (hotswap) as it doesn't seem possible to use large hdd's with this mod. I've restored using slayers, however, xbox is still booting to evolution x, even though original ms files are present again on C: (and no sign of evolution x anywhere)?
Please help, how do I FULLY restore hdd to retail with MS dashboard?
Thanks

Also, is xbins still the main place for getting homebrew software for the xbox? I still have all my files from my first install, but I want to get updated files.

I originally softmodded my v1.6 xbox with your 1.0 SC exploit. Now, I'm trying to upgrade my hdd with xboxhdm.
After reading a lot on the web, I've come across two potential obstacles: virtual c, and virtual eeprom.
My questions: How do I get to my real C files? When I ftp to the xbox are the files I see under C\ the retail xbox files? Are the files under E\backups\Cdrive my retail xbox files? How do I get to my real eeprom? When I go to E\backups\eeprom\backup, is the eeprom my "real" one or a virtual one?
Just trying to figure this whole thing out...
Thanks!
Post by: Heimdall on April 27, 2011, 08:13:00 PM
You bypass shadow C by running Krayzie extras, then you can FTP the original C files once the LED turns red.
The eeprom file is the real one.
There are other ways to upgrade your softmod hard drive - see my signature for details.

I was afraid of that. My original hdd is messed up, but I have my E\ files and eeprom backed up to pc. Does anyone know which version of slayer's or aid (or other installer?) will give me the xbox 1.6 C\ files?
Post by: huan on February 03, 2020, 04:31:00 PM
So, if I want to do this should I use all my E files or leave it empty? I believe that would cause the hdd to boot to MS dash, and allow me to install the softmod as I did on my original hdd.
I'd just like to confirm this. I've been trying unsuccessfully for a few weeks now to build a drive from scratch and keep running into errors.

thank you I have the update. seem to be only able to download the update , but if I haven't even installed the softmod yet would you be so kind as to provide me with a working link for the Krayzie Ndure Installer 1.1.1 rar as this would seem the logical path of progression to follow. the link provided just keeps opening this page up over and over and over again each time I press on it??

cant supply links to such things here.
However you can google krazie ndure installer 1.1.1 and find it easily enough. you should also add the word (pal) or (ntsc) depending on what your system is. pal for pal ntsc for ntsc...
