Title: Evox On Softmod
Post by: 1hotjob on January 08, 2010, 01:44:00 PM

It all depends on how the soft mod was installed. You need to FTP into the Xbox and look for a dash or dashboard folder. It is usually on the E drive. In there you will find default.xbe. You would rename that file UnleashX.xbe and FTP Evox.ini to that folder and Evox.xbe to that folder and rename Evox.xbe to default.xbe.

All of this needs to be done at the same time. If you rename default.xbe to unleashX.xbe and turn off the Xbox or lose power your soft mod won't boot.

You may want to try XBMC as a dash instead of Evox. You can set your games, videos and music up without editing the Evox.ini file. Plus you can play all of these without another program.

Same thing, locate your dash.

Put XBMC in the E:\Apps folder. You should have E:\Apps\Xbmc with default.xbe in there.

Using the shortcuts in the _tools folder I believe of XBMC on the PC you rename the default.xbe in the dash to unleashx.xbe. You then FTP shortcut......xbe to the dash folder and rename it default.xbe. You do the same with shortcut.......cfg, renaming it default.cfg.

When you reboot you should have XBMC as the dash.

DON'T CHANGE Xboxdashboard.xbe. It is probably the MS Dash.

List the files and folders on the Xbox C and E drive.

What would probably be best for you is to get Frosty's Rescue Disk or CASH Ver1.1 and use it to update the soft mod to Krazie's Ndure 1.1.1. When you do that you can select XBMC as the dash.

Since you have Frosty's you don't need Krazie's. I have never used Frosty's but I am sure it is simple. You would choose from the main menu to redo the soft mod to probably Krazie's or Ndure whatever the option. That should rebuild the HD with a complete new soft mod installed. I know CASH Ver 1.1 leaves the F drive alone. If there is anything on there you can't replace I would back it up to the PC first.

Well i got it to load but quickly found out that the file i got is missinf dashboards and any of the other apps its supposed to install when asked so i guess i need to add the dashboards and such, i never found anything in there about softmodding it either, maybe im not looking in the right place?

Krazie's is an exploit used on a virgin box to get it soft modded. It would be better to use CASH. I don't know if you can find in anymore.

Let me try burning Frosty's and see what options it has. I need to check it out anyway.

OK. Frosty's won't work for you. The best option is to use CASH and let it upgrade for you. If you can't do that you can FTP Krazie's to the Xbox. Delete everything on the C drive and FTP stock C drive files from Slayers'. When you reboot you will have a stock Xbox with MS Dash. From there you can load the game that you chose for Krazie's. Run Linux and install the softmod. Krazie's is pretty simple. If you have a 130gig or less HD you can choose .06. If you are running a larger HD you can run .67. 06 gives an F drive and .67 gives an F and G drive. That's about the hardest thing about running Krazie's.

After that if you want XBMC as your dash, follow the steps given before.

OK, looking back at your C drive it looks as if xboxdash.xbe is your evox dashboard. I would need to see the files and folders from the E drive to make sure.

*IF* xboxdash.xbe is your dashboard file you could try putting evox.ini in the root of the C and make sure. You could then rename it evox.xbe and use the shortcuts mentioned before to make XBMC as your dash.

You could use a stock evox.ini file from Slayer's or another source and keep Evox as your dash.

I would still try to get CASH Ver 1.1 to update the Xbox soft mod.

If you keep Evox as your dash you should read the post on how to set up Evox. It isn't that hard and is a good dash to use for kids. It keeps it simple and allows you to set up their games without options to mess things up too bad.

QUOTE

#AudioPlayer = "c:\xboxdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard = "c:\xboxdash.xbe"

That shows that Evox is looking for Xboxdash.xbe as your MS Dashboard.

Post the contents of the E drive. We don't want to erase everything.

Since you can connect the Xbox HD to the PC, you could use Kingroach's Ndure installer. With it you don't need the game to install the new softmod to the Xbox. Look on Xbins for it. There are numerous tutorials for it here. I haven't used it. I use Mech Assault and Krazie's Ndure.

Slayer's isn't meant for a soft mod. Changing dash boards is usually left to FTP. I saw a video on Youtube that showed using AID to change the dashboard. I don't recommend it as AID, like Slayer's, is meant for a hard mod and not a soft mod.
