How about :
A few menu click using the game pad in front of the TV and if you have a fast enough network, have Xebian installed(ok, the livefs version).
Or get a Y splitter, hotplug a HD and a few clicks in from of the TV and you can have a new locked HD that you can replace the stock one with all the content cloned, no PC involved ?
And that sounds v.cool to me that wud be amazing if it was possible. I'm still gunna post up a tut on upgrading HD in my topic but i will post another 1 4 ur method to when i see it in action

Ok, thanks to LostKorn I was able to procure everything that was necessary. Here are the current results:
1 - I have a 1.6 box (?) - April 2004 K:5838 D:5659 2 - Mechassault Exploit w/ AR memory stick. 3 - Ltools-1.7.5-MA.zip
Everything worked out well to get the mechassault saved game onto the system and get the package running through the campaign option.
First thing I tried was to run the XBOX Information option and it gave me an error to backup the data first. I tried that, then received a queer psycodelic screen and an orange light on the eject button.
Power cycling brought me back to the menu once again where I attempted to install the UDE. I went through the options and selected the UDE2 option due to my version/kernel and selected the Evox dash option. Again the system went to the psycodelic screen and orange light.
Power cycled again, prompted for the UDE2 install and now I am receiving an error:
Error (line 1): ActionScript file failed execution
When I boot the machine again, every choice for UDE install gives this error - Uninstall, Install, whichever.
When I choose to run Mini-Linux I get the psycodelic screen and an orange light.
I am stuck on the next what to do next. I had done a search on the script error, but there has not been much mentioned on the subject... Anyone have any pointers on what to do next? |
this 'weird psychodelic screen' is linux backing up your C: and installing ude, JUST LET IT RUN!
please dont tell me u turned it off before it told u it was safe....
You might wanna try to compile a list of media that can be read in the three dvd players. This will by no means be bulletproof, but it will be the determining factor for success in most cases. In general, dvd-r will yield more success than dvd+r. The process is not difficult, but finding a workable media can be..
If you stick to mediacode ritek g04 you will be fine on all xbox drives.
He is referring to the ATIP info you can read off the disk with any burner. You can read this info with a program like X-ATA, (some burning programs display limited info). The actual brand of the media is secondary to the manufacturer.. And I agree with krrazie, I've had the best success with Ritek discs as well.. My old Thomson DVD used to read various Ritek cdr's. I don't remember the exact particulars of the dye.

I have managed to work around the Error (line 1): ActiveScript file failed to execute problem.
Here is what I had done (on a hunch): 1 - I started the xbox up again and it booted into the MS dash. I accessed the memory section, then xbox harddrive. I removed the MA Run Linux Save game as well as the Mech Assault 'category' in the memory section. 2 - I loaded the save game back to the hard drive once again using the procedure in the tutorial. 3 - Launched the campaign and Run Linux option from MA and sure enough there was the menu again. I opted for the UDE 2 install and left the screen all psycodelic while the drive light was orange. I waited until the light changed to blinking green (I think that is what it was).
4 - Rebooted and there was the Evox menu. It took a couple of attempts to get through the menu, but I figured out that the directional pad was what moved the menu selection up and down (duh!).
5 - I installed the Gentoox Home disc - CDR and it choked. Burned it again on CD-RW and Viola! The gentoox screen came up, but was unreadable (I'm thinking I need the 640x480 option or whatever that I still need to read up on.)
So at least there is a way around the ActionScript error encountered earlier. Now to get the screen to work properly... |
see, a little patience with loading screens goes a long way

as for gentoox u do need 2 set the video mode to 640x480 if ur using a normal tv with the normal xbox av connector
i forgot to mention i changed the tcp/ip properties tab (on my pc) so the Alternate settings is set at
ip: 198.168.0.3
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 198.168.0.1
before i changed it i'd get "Connection Failed(no route to host)"
Try leaving all default gateways blank, and make sure 192.168.0.103 is not the xbox ip. The xbox ip should be set up statically.
Thanxs 4 the credit m8 and as for the ftp'ing i have no idea about that. It sounds to me its sumat uve messed with in the settings so just do as trig says if that dunt work then i dunno sorry.
post an "ipconfig /all" dosprompt command output, and the Network section of your evox.ini
oh my,
i just ran the dos prompt again after correcting the ip with 192 and the results were much different
dos prompt info:
Windows IP Configuration
- Host name: MAIN
- Primary DNS: (blank)
- node type: broadcast
- IP routing enabled yes
- WINS proxy enabled: yes
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connections
- Connection specific DNS suffix: (blank)
- Description: intel® Pro/100 Network Connection
- Physical address: 00-07-E9-BE-C8-F8

- Auto configuration enabled: Yes
- IP Address: 0.0.0.0
- Subnet: 0.0.0.0
- Default: (blank)
- DHCP server 255.255.255.255
now it just hurts my head..... sorry for all this trouble
Turn off dhcp on your PC settings, and make your PC IP address 192.168.0.1. Also remove any default gateways you see in any setup. Leave them blank. Should be able to connect when you turn dhcp off on your PC anyways.
THANK YOU!!! Your tutorial helped me install evox and change my hard drive! I was a total n00b to xbox modding (i just got mine) SO THANKYOU!!! YOUR A GOD!!!
Did you put all the contents of c and e onto the disc which already had ude installed on it and tell it to put them onto the new hdd?
with my error 21 i m trying to install a 160gb hardrive. i have ude1 on my box now, is the error because the drive is too big for that do i need to have ude 2 or something?
I have no idea about the error 21 but did you use the floppy method like a recommended?
Dude, it has nothing to do with locking, or floppies.. Most likely files got corrupted during transfer assuming he did everything else right as far as copying goes.. Does the stock hdd work? Because error 21 would be expected if you should have installed UDE2. Thats not the only cause by a long shot however..
If the jumper was incorrect you would get error 7. Have you tried recopying the files?
Yeh, error 21 has got sumat to do with your ms dashboard hasnt it?
Error 21 is a generic dashboard error that is very unspecific.. It sometimes is caused by bad/missing signatures. This would be the case if files were corrupted during transfer.
no you don't need linux
i finally got the harddrive upgrade to work by just completely redoing everything. now i just have two more questions, will there be a clock error with this mod? also how do i get it so that it boots up to slayers evox (which i installed already but can only get to it through ltools menu) right away instead of the evox that was installed with ltools?
1: NO! UDE CAN'T GET A CLOCK-LOOP!
2: i don't know.
why the hell do you wanna boot to slayers evox? That's just some stupid app installer and has some format options. It has no purpose of a dashboard.
im sure this thread has eliminated quite a few n00b threads.
oh boy!
need help!!!!
i tried to install gouki's evox first and i stopped at the bert and ernie step because somebody told me about UDE, and after i read korn's instructions it sounded idiot-proof for somebody like me. well i was wrong!!!! i used AR to transfer the save over to my xbox (K: 4034 / D: 5659) and i started MA, loaded the game save, and everything was going good at that point. i hit install UDE, then selested UDE, then i chose evox, and then i can't remember what i chose for a pbl, but it was whatever option "A" (green) was. After that the screen went blank, there was some white text at the top of my tv screen and after a second the screen went blank, and the led on the front of the xbox went orange. i waited for about 20 seconds, then the system shut off. i turned it back on and it took me right back to MA...
i tried to do the UDE again, but now i get an error:
ERROR (line1): (callscript) "ActionScript file failed execution"
so i thought the gouki evox files that were on the system were maybe fudging up the UDE install. so i loaded up MA gamesave so i could FTP into my xbox to remove the files...
well, my HD is totally messed up. the "i" folder is gone, when i click on folders "g" or "f" (and "g" is a new folder, possibly the "i" folder renamed) i get a message saying directory not found. my "z" folder is empty (my backup of "z" has 394 files in it
what is my next step? if i have FTP access is it safe to just replace everything in each folder with the backup i have? need help please!!!!
). check my sig for the non-corupting, cheap alternitive.
As for what you have to do and whats goin wrong etc. i have no idea im afraid.
Actually, H: or I: is mem card. Pretty important directory to some..
lostkorn:
i have more information HERE (i guess my HDTV's AV connection had something to do with the UDE error.) right now i'm more worried about getting my HD back to normal. once my HD is back to normal, i'm gonna try the UDE again.
i used to be able to access them, and i was planning on using the extra space on F to store an emulator. well, i had a guy help me and now i'm rescusing my hard drive, i'm on the last step and i can't get my hard drive to lock. it keeps saying something about it being frozen. if you click the link in my sig, the whole story is there.
if you want a USB adapter go here:
http://www.lik-sang....bff7338424852f3
I'm Canadian too, and it was really cheap ordering from them. With shipping and all, it was about 25 buck CAN with shipping; really cheap if you ask me. Although, it is even cheaper to make one your self... and you don't HAVE to solder.
my action replay works fine, hasnt corrupted a save yet, i guess im one of the lucky ones lol
What version of the software are you using?
hey,, well i just got a madcatz memory card... it works great... but now i dont no what to do,, i am in the process of installing UDE2, the light changed from orange to blinking green. when does it suppose to show "it is now saft to turn off ur xbox" can someone tell me about how long does it take to install UDE2??? scare that i am going to screw up my xbox
ok i followed everything, and i used the game exploit to boot to evox, i didnt install linux but i did put on a 160gb hdd. now my question is how do i get the xbox to recognized all of the 160 gb?
Erm.... So have u done the locking of the hardrive and stuff if so try going to options and amke sure it says F:\ is enabled
Your bios needs to support lba48.. Most newer bioses do.. Any ending in .06, or .67 are fine.. .06 bioses allow your f: to use all extra space after reformatting, the .67 bios will put the extra space in g:.
Ok so like whats the link and what should i put in the tut to explain wat the tut dus?
Gotta quick question. I have a NTSC-J xbox and a NTSC-J version of Mechassault(not the platinum hits.) Anyways I am using a mega X Key and I have Ltools. Now my problem is when I try to run linux after I choose campaign. The game seems to freeze. I dont even get a error message 21 like everyone else gets. The thing is that the Mega X key was used before on my friends US xbox with no problems so I dont think the file is corrupt. Do I have to change the language back to japanese or something on my xbox. The file is all on there about 460 blocks so it must me. Hummm!!!! Any help. 1 member on this site got me this far(thanks!!!!!!!!) who will help me finish this?thanks in advance!!!!
the UDE only works on NTSC and PAL, not NTSC-J xboxs. even if you used ltools, or installed it yourself. You have to use ConfigMagic to change the region code.

who told you the UDE doesn't work on ntsc-j xboxes?
sure it works. The update.xbe the UDE uses has all the region flags.
using the usb stick tut and this tut i was able to get to the installing screen. though i'm getting this error:
correct update.xbe has not bee found. either install dash 4920, 5659, or 5960 or add the update.xbe to the package. connect install ude.
i got the same installation error with both udes.
k: .5101
d: .4920
btw.. used ltools ma 1.7.5
any suggestions? do i need to add update.xbe (hopefully in the usual spots) to their package?
What version is your xboxdash? Go to Settings > System Info in msdash, and note the D number. Might as well note your kernel as well.. If it is below 4920 you will need an xbox live game to update the dash..
Edit: Sorry I see you have 4920.. I've seen this glitch before but haven't solved it. I think it has to do with case sensitivity on the filenames..
Just an assumption
OK, im kinda confused here but what i said before about the update.xbe on the game was just a guess and i dont know if it actually works!
Heres what i did:
Copied the update.xbe from my xbox to my pc via ftp.
Ftpd into my m8s xbox and put the update.xbe into a certain folder (You need to write down the folder that it tells you to put the update.be into when it says it couldnt install)
The tryed intalling again and it worked fine!
So im not sure if this would work but u cud try it but make sure u make backups of everything first.
Ftp into your xbox using ltools installer
Leave the mechassualt disc in and put the update.xbe from the game to your pc
Now upload it to the folder which it says which you wrote down when it says it couldnt install.
If that doesnt work PM me!
i haven't been able to fix the problem yet.. but i'm planning to see if there is an update.xbe file in the slayer evo package and if so ftp that over and test it out.
but i was curious.. now that i have ftp access to my box can i move games and emulators over and would i be able to play them through the ltools installer? by that i mean the dash i can get to before you either install the ude exploits or install mini linux.
Hmm, sorry i 4got to reply to ur PM.
Are you on msn cos i have an idea of how u cud do it?
Also you could do it that way but ud have to keep goin throught the gamesave if u did which would be v.annoyin!
. i got the correct update.xbe file and replaced the update.xbe file on my c drive with it and installed... now to read into the possiblities... and maybe even toss my 40gig hdd in there...
can you still go on xbox live with this mod? by just going to msdash and going to live or will they detect that the box is softmodded and permanantly ban the box?
Just installed a leftover 60GB harddisc, following your tutorial.
Worked great. Thanx m8.

And as for ur question bsmonkey i think you can yes but im not sure as either i have been banned or its a technical fault because i cant seem to connect to live 
It just says sumats up with my DNS or sumat so i dunno wats up
Right OK, Now that is a proble u got urself there lol.
Erm....
Did you use lockx to lock your drive and it said it locked ok?
ive got a question that i cant find answered anywhere on this forum.
Say i follow your tutorial to step 3, install the UDE, and dont want to install linux. Say I choose to have EvoX installed, but after thats done, then what? What else do I have to do to be able to play the games from my hard drive? anything? is there an option in EvoX to view hard drive for games (or something like that)? I have no clue because I havent modded my xbox yet (im waiting for the last part to come in the mail)
an answer would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Ok what do you mean by linux? If you are reffering to linux as an exploit like UDE then it would mean that you would only get 8gb of storage space in an unmodded state but if you mean linux as in gentoox then it wouldnt make one bit of a difference
hi lostkorn do you have msn if so could you pm me your address mine is [email protected] please add me would like to speak to you via msn rather than forum.
thx for the reply, Quix didnt work though. Im uploading the games via ftp. All the games that dont work DO work on my xbox 1.1. Anyone have any ideas why some games wont work on 1.6's soft modded as shown in this tutorial?
Bo
is it possible to do this with a kernel of 4043? I tried using the old version of itools thats in the normal place but it wont work! I really wanna get this to work but my stupid old kernel wont let me! I know that xbox live would fix my kernel but i dont have it and I really dont wanna buy it right not unless its a last ditch effort
EDIT: Also, is there any way to ftp to/from your xbox without installing evox, just having the installer screen up?
Did you try the oldkernelfix for the 4034? That should allow it to work, but in anycase yes you can ftp as soon as the installer is on the screen if you see a valid IP..
has anyone gotten burnout 3, or project gotham racing 2 to work using this tut? (with a 1.6 xbox)
Bo
Nope, i got em workin on my 1.0 which was pretty hard to do. Just try the qwix xbe update and update all the xbe's in the games main folder
I think this tutorial is great and really easy to understand...However before I start modding, I have a question.
on step 3:
Choose which UDE to install by which Kernel you have, UDE1 green (A) should be used on kernels prior to 5713 and UDE2 should be used on kernels 5713 and higher. Also the UDE2 only works on USA/Canadadian xboxes so this may come of help to some people if you have a kernel higher than 5713 and a PAL xbox:
http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=257341
At this stage unless you own a 1.6 version of the xbox press green (A) if you own a 1.6 press blue (X).
Now you must choose your dashboard (I chose EvoX as it is good for if you wish to put apps onto your Hardrive and not have to keep selecting them yourself but MXM is more informational so it is up to you) Now just let it do its thing and wait until it says 'It is now safe to turn off your xbox' which you turn off.
OK you say choose which ude to install....Is this something I need to download and install on to thexbox? and how can I find out what kernal I have( I know I have an xbox 1.0)? As far as the dashboard is that another thing that I need to get and install?
I know this might be kind of stupid to ask but I am very new to this,
So Thanks verymuch for helping.
([Settings]->[System Info] usually displays the K: and D: versions eh.)
great tut, 15 mins of actual mod time....2 weeks of research paid off though, now on to bigger and better mods
I will be totally updating the tut within the next few days with all ur great ideas so keep em coming
Now the 1st choice is the most likley but if u get a modchip it really is worth it, it is sooooo easy to solder aswell and if u do decide to get 1 just ive us a message and i will even guide u through it. (P.S I highly recommend getting an X3
)
So sorry about that but thats the only thing i could think would be happening
I would suggest you try to see if you can load a small evox save off the AR rather than a complete ltools package.. The smaller the save, the less likely corruption is.. Typically corrupt saves result in an error 21 screen, but not 100%..
Regarding a chip install, I'm in an entirely different boat.. If you've never held a soldering iron, an xbox mobo is not the place to start.. Tons of ppl kill their xboxes with bad soldering!! Especially since most ppl can only get their hand on irons designed for all purpose soldering that can scorch the pcb in the blink of an eye.. (Ppl who work on boards like these professionally do it at expensive rework stations that have dozens of different tips and controllable temperature..) Much better to find somebody handy with an iron and buy them a beer for their 5 minutes of time..
You could also tsop it... That works like a charm.. And rather than go mem card hunting, you have the option of hotswapping into xboxhdm 1.9 and copying the gamesave to the UDATA dir..
i agree with jpinn this is the best, easiest, and fastest way to mod a box and put in a new hdd. thanks

he didnt pay that much attention '007 exploit' (i think he means ude...)
What version of AR software are you using? I think forthex's sig points to links where you can get older versions of the AR software..
Were you using Ltools/UDE? That sounds eerily like a clock loop..
Did you look to see if you have a txt file on your floppy with those dos locking programs on it.. Your hdd is locked wrong.. This can be very bad.. Personally I think that is a really bad way to go about locking a hdd.. You either made a typo, or something else went wrong.. Your only hope is the pw in the txt file since those dos tools don't set a master password at all.. It is MUCH smarter to boot into the xboxhdm mode that supports locking.. lockhd not only sets the master password to XBOXSCENE, but it has functions to use the eeprom.bin and eliminate human error..
i followed your tut to the point and i ended up with only the option to instal somthin called UXE. can you help me with this problem because i realy want it to boot into an evox screen not the Itools screen
Hi guyz i have tried the tut of lostkorn to softmod my xbox, i had al lot of probs when i was tryin but i did some research en found everything but i still have 1 prob

why is it sayin this?

damn im so stupid i shoulda read this, i went out and brought the mechassault plantium hit version no wonder when i click run linux in the game it say unable to load linux!! this suck wasted $17.

I re-unlocked/disabled security and locked it with the correct password from the NEW drive, shut down the PC, connected the new drive to my xbox. Powered the damn thing on...suprise! It worked 
So now you know you should never make this mistake or make sure you are using the CORRECT password!

wow, the respond time here sucks. Well, i got it modded. It was the AR memory card. I brought an official M$ memory card, then it worked.
I have a another question, if there is anybody, how do you get avalaunch installed into the xbox or is a crossover CAT5 cable really needed? Can you just use a straight CAT5 cable?

you need either a crossover cable, or a router....and you put avalaunch into your dashboard folder (wherever it is, if you used Ltools it will be E:\dashboard) and name the avalaunch xbe to default.xbe (you'll need to name the former default.xbe to something else)

Hey, I was just wondering, can you use the xbox hd for your pc after you switch them?
You need to unlock it and repartition/format it for pc use..
Is it possible to ftp to your xbox without an evox dash, but just with an MS dash?
um.. unless its a hacked dash,, nope!
I'm thinking about softmodding my Xbox this weekend, but my router will not accept IPs in the 192.168.0.x range. They have to be in 192.168.1.x or they will not connect. I changed my PC's IP to 192.168.0.2 and I couldn't even ping my router. Will I still be able to install Linux if I have an installation DVD burned? Do I need to change my Xbox's IP and if so?
