You'll need to provide way more info than this ....

* what auto installer? (there are many)
* is there an error number top left on that service screen?
- If so, what number?
* what tutorial did you follow
* where did that backup go?
* what was backed up anyway?
* does it still boot original games?

-- Be prepared to use xboxhdm, start reading the tut in my sig.
-- Be prepared to hotswap, also read that tut.

Just to let you know....I can boot my xbox with a CD in,so I put in 007 and went to laod mission,then I go to HD and it says it has no games on the harddrive...so I tried to load it from the memory card and it goes to the same error message. Here is the thing,I can't open up my dad's computer so is there an alternative? also thanks for all the help so far.

Sigh ....

No need to solder, no need for (even free) hdd's, it can be solved within 5 minutes easily.

But as the free HDD has pulled your attention more than the advice, I wish you all the luck in the world with your new hdd!

I'm an ass.  Have you tried just telling your dad that there is 200,000 members willing to help you here.  Maybe he will let you in his pc.  Its not difficult or harmful in the least to use HdM.  My parents thought I was a piece of shit when I was growing up but they always respected the truth.  Tell him you fucked him up, explain how much you have learned about shit he will never comprehend and he might be willing to help you out.  Sorry Im giving more life advice then Xbox advice.

Well my dad is a very strict man and he will be really mad if I tell him the truth,I'll probably never get a 360 or any other game or anything,I'll be grounded and he'll say tough luck,you messed it up and that's your fault,I just won't buy you anything else. And honestly I am good with soldering,modding stuff,taking stuff apart,most stuff on a computer,and a lot of other things,but this HDM I am clueless to,I mean honestly is it that easy that a noob like me can use it?btw I am 14 but am very knowledgable at computers.

Post by: misterhoangdai on July 02, 2005, 09:57:00 AM
the only other way you can fix it is if you take apart a computer so you can access your xbox's HDD. if i were you i'd take a risk and take apart your dad's computer and hotswap your xbox. if not then find someone with a computer that'll let you do it. as for xboxhdm, just READ about it. you don't have to know anything about it just follow the tutorial

Is there a way I can FTP into it? I will be willing to use my dad's PC to FTP into it. I just really need my XBOX fixed. If there is a way I can FTP into it all I have to do is put the XPOLIT in the harddrive and then boot up evoX....right?

Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 11:57:00 AM
I odnt have aby blank DVD's...but if it helps I can't boot up SLayers.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: ikecomp on July 02, 2005, 12:11:00 PM
That is good. Ok when slayers boots if you have your computer connected you should be able to ftp in. Just make sure u have the proper settings for your xbox and computer.You can cahange the xbox network settings with 8)System Settings from the slayer menu v2.6. And from here since you have ftp access you can just move the retail files over to the C and E folders on your xbox. And of course you get these C and E folders from the slayers disk. Hope that helps

Edit: P.S. when you get ready to mod it again erase all your other gamesave exploits and then put the fresh krayzie gamesave exploit of your choice on their and you should be ready to go
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 12:21:00 PM
if you read it says I <<<can't>>> boot up Slayers,it only boots the original games,but it goes on live and also I can play all of my savefiles on the games,there is no dash though.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: ikecomp on July 02, 2005, 12:34:00 PM
So when you try to load the OO7 exploit from your xbox what exactly does it say.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: misterhoangdai on July 02, 2005, 01:25:00 PM
xboxhdm is the only way

its not confusing. like i said, FOLLOW the tutorial. no knowledge is required. you only have to know how to read and press a few keys on a keyboard. it takes 5 minutes to rebuild the C drive.

I HAD the softmod on there will evoX....yesterday. When I rebooted it gave me an error 21 saying service required,I can't go to the original dash or the modded dash,the gamesave isnt on my xbox for some reason so I try to load it from my memory card and it doesn't work and brings me back to the error 21,I can play games on it by booting them up and I can play on Live and I can load all my saves when I play a game....I just want the original dash back or some other alternative,I can't open my computer either.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 01:29:00 PM
Ok my dad just left for a few hours,I can open my XBOX but I dont have a special thing to open the screws just a philips. I also don't know where to plug in the ribbon cables and I read the tut over 3 times and it is confusing,I won't know what to press. Also if I do XBOX HDM will I have the dash back on? All together how long will it take?What if there are no open ribbon cables in my dad's PC? I might be willing to open my XBOX...Ok this is very confusing because I don't have the right tools to open my xbox and I don't want to strip the screws. I don't want to hotswap because there is a big chance of my harddrive or motherboard getting messed up,also I don't know how to get my eeprom or any of this....Can I send one of you my harddrive and pay you to fix it?
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: misterhoangdai on July 02, 2005, 01:32:00 PM
why do you keep posting asking for other alternatives? this is the last time i'm going to say it. XBOXHDM IS THE ONLY WAY

you say it seems confusing? you probably don't know anything about it and you're just assuming. if you don't use xboxhdm then your xbox will be that way for however long you choose to not use xboxhdm. its up to you though. im perfectly fine with my fully functional xbox that i fixed a couple times with xboxhdm
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: misterhoangdai on July 02, 2005, 01:34:00 PM
forgot what i just posted. why don't you calm down and read aloud what the tutorial is saying. PRESS on the warranty sticker for a little indent. that's where the screw is. all that is useless if you don't have the tools to take apart the xbox. as for the ribbon cable, you unplug the one thats currently plugged into your pc's HDD and plug that into the xbox's hdd.

No I can probably do it,but I don't have a car to go get a torx wrench for the two screws,and if I use a philips there is a chance of me screwing up the screws. Also HDM has a possibility of screwing my harddrive. I just don't feel going through all of the trouble of opening my XBOX,opening my dads computer loading hdm and doing all of that. I am pretty sure my dad computer has no extra ribbon cables.

You know what will be the easiest way for me to get it fixed? I open my XBOX and send the harddrive to one of you guys,I ship it to one of you and pay you on PayPal for doing me a good deed. It isn't much but I can give one of you like 20$<seem right?     Or I can send a money order with it or something,but somehow I can pay one of you to do this for me.

Post by: vingasoline on July 02, 2005, 06:18:00 PM
Unfortunately you can't send the HD to someone to get it fixed.  The HD is locked, and only your xbox can unlock it, thus the need for hotswapping.  Unless of course you copied the eeprom.bin file via ftp after the softmod.  xboxhdm is the only way to go.

Ok,I can't hotswap,My dad doesn't even know that it is broke. I have no neighbors that would be willing to let me see there PC's,and also I don't feel like going through the hassle of it and then it screwing up my harddrive. I have 2 Halo SE XBOX's,one is currently broke and the other is modded with a modchip,both have neon pulsating lights on the bottom that are glass and green leds on top with a clear green jewel. I wanted to softmod my unmodded XBOX and this is what I get,it was my first time doing this.

Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 06:26:00 PM
Also how come there were two evoX dashes on there? Was it because one was the file manager and stuff? because one was blue and it happened when I eject it and leave the tray open,the other is a dash that goes on when I just press the power button.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: vingasoline on July 02, 2005, 06:32:00 PM
Hmmmm, you have a xbox with a chip?  I believe you can put the screwed up HD into the chipped box and fix it.  I am not too sure though, so you should search.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: dumdasme on July 02, 2005, 06:34:00 PM
You have to hotswap into your chipped xbox, then ftp through your modded xbox and fix the files.  there is a tut around here somewhere, check the faqs.

the reason for two evox dashes is that you must have set up a dual boot on your xbox.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 06:48:00 PM
Ok well one was saved on my harddrive from the memory card....It was blue.....once I deleted it then there was only the one that says xbox H--Q, I restarted it and got an error21....I didn't put dual boot,is one the softmod installer itself? I followed the instrcutions right.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: dumdasme on July 02, 2005, 06:56:00 PM
there's your problem, you went around deleting stuff you didn't know what it did.  Here's my suggestion, hotswap to your modded xbox, wipe the c drive, either do an NDURE install or put the stock c from slayers back on.  If you put the stock c, i would delete your old gamesave exploit and replace with krayzie's installer and softmod your xbox.  Good luck and if you don't know how to do any of that SEARCH because it has been answered several times.
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 06:57:00 PM
Wait...Did I do something wrong? Here is exactly what I did.... I put the 07 save on action replay,put the action replay in my xbox and copied over the file. Then I put in 007 and clicked launch linux....then it showed this  http://img253.** Pic.../preview0lv.jpg    Once that came up I backed up my Hardrive C file and then clicked softmod. Then I clicked install evoX,it installed it and when I restarted and the tray was open it went back to the blue screen,but when I just pressed power it would go to another dash that wasn't blue and said evox dash and at the top it like had a girl and it said xbox-head-quarters. well I went to my harddrive saves to delete the softmod file and when I restarted it gave me the error 21 code. also on the blue evox dash it had a ftp server and stuff and it said patch M$ dash....if I get this to work again and I click patch will it put the MS dash and then I will still have evoX? Will it erase my c backup?
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 06:58:00 PM
Ok my friend told me that I wasn't suppose to delete the softmod save file and that there were two dashboards because one is the softmod menu(when u press eject) and one is the dashboard(when u press power)......is this correct?
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: misterhoangdai on July 02, 2005, 07:40:00 PM
xboxhdm doesn't screw up hard drives. hotswapping has a chance of screwing up the hard drive. i've made many mistakes dinking around with my xbox and managed to fix it hotswapping. it also taught me that having an eeprom is far more handy so you don't have to hotswap and have that little chance of messing up your HDD

edit:

it doesn't matter if you delete the exploit save file. that just makes it so you aren't able to load the exploit again through a game. just hope you never make a mistake and have to load that exploit. if you delete the actual dashboard files. then you have a problem.
and btw, what you're talking about is called dual boot or something along those lines and has nothing to do with this
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: ikecomp on July 02, 2005, 08:03:00 PM
So can u get to the blue evox dash with the ftp server?
Title: Please Help! I Honesly Need Your Guys' Help!
Post by: Master_Solo on July 02, 2005, 09:10:00 PM
Ok I didn't do dual boot, I installed evoX only. The softmod installer which is blue happened when I booted the game and then the save file. Then when I took the game out when I press eject it goes to the blue softmod menu to FTP and to backup ur games and stuff. Then if u just press power then it goes to the evoX menu and u can play ur backed up games and stuff,so basically when u press eject it boots the softmod menu that is on the harddrive,when I deleted the 007 gamesave softmod the blue menu was no longer there and when I restarted there is no dash....So did I really dual boot or what? I followed the instrcutions EXACTLY. Also in the softmod menu it says patch MS dash,someone told me if u click that then ull have the MS dash along with evoX....is this true? Anyone that has done the softmod installer deluxe please confirm all this wrong or right.

7. Shut down your Xbox, then restart it and remove the disc. If this has worked like it
   should, you should see your choice of dashboard (either EvoX or UnleashX). Please note
   if you boot your Xbox and leave the DVD Tray open it will take you back to the menu
   where you installed your Softmod.....................

Ok I will do XBOXhdm and read the tutorial and am a little confused,I think you have to hotswap,this means keep you xbox plugged into the power and then when it unlocks you plug it to your PC,which I don't want to do.

if you're not gonna plug your xbox hd into your computer then stop posting here asking for help because hotswapping is the only damn way. get it through your head. it seems like you're trying to avoid anything that's got to do taking apart the xbox like theres another alternative to fixing your xbox
