Post by: woofis on July 25, 2005, 05:23:00 PM

ok i baught this xbox off a friend for 20 bux. he said he failed on a softmod attempt. it gives me error 21 but it can still read games.
now for my options... i have a modded xbox with an x3 chip. is there any way to hotswap using that?
also can i load the exploit off a memory card?
i dont want to hotswap using a pc as i know i will mess up.
thanks in advance!

still boots games, try letting a LIVE enabled game upgrade your dash.

Use your chip in that box to get the eeprom.

Read my hotswapping faqs.

well updating the dash didnt work. everytime i tried to go on live it said cannot connect and to start trouble shooter. when i did that my xbox froze. i looked at ur hotswapping faqs and i didnt see anything about using another modded xbox. can u explain to me how i would go about doing this. if i can find it out ill just hotswap using my pc.

Burn Evox to a cd, and use the modded xbox to boot it, then proceed to hotswap to it.

although Xboxhdm is much easier to hotswap into.

If the guy that sold you the box screwed up a softmod, maybe he left a 007/MA/SC gamesave on the drive... try asking and see if you can get in through the gamesave.

If you can boot an orginal, try booting a LIVE enabled game, and updating your dash.

If you have no other options, then read my hotswapping faqs.

yea i tried loading mechassault, old sports games and unreal championship. everytime it said it ouldnt find a connection and it said to run troubleshooter. when i went to that my xbox froze.... i guess hotswapping is my only choice... is there anyway to load the exploit off my memory card? not to actually install the softmod, just get ftp acess

hey i was thinking. would i be able to take an unlocked stock hdd, put it into my modded xbox, make all he contents as if it were a stock hdd, and put that in my broken xbox?

haha well i took a stock hdd, put it into my chipped xbox, made it retail using slayers. popped it in. it gave me an error 05. so that means hdd isnt locked. i lock it using slayers. now when i put it in it says error code 06. witch means cannot unlock hd. im stumped

you must lock that drive with the EEPROM of the xbox it is going into, the drive you locked with slayers will only work in your xbox now, you need to unlock it, and lock it with the correct eeprom.

Post by: woofis on July 26, 2005, 03:09:00 PM

haha wow. ok how am i suppose to lock it with that eeprom if i dont have that eeprom?

ok im new to this site but the topic fit my problem. i have had  a modded xbox without a chip for a while and today i tried to play ncaa 2005 and top spin (they were on the same disk that came with the xbox) it tried to load and then came up with an error code 21. so i took that out and tried other games and all of my other games work just not that one. then i deleted the saved game file for them but it still wont work. could this problem potentialy break my xbox or should i just leave it alone.

Going slightly off subject ....

I believe your correct with the statement about the mem card, but I had a look at the  007 exploit with a Hexeditor. The called XBE was pretty easy to spot as "d:\UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\default.xbe"

So I know that the memory cards don't have a logical drive assigned by the bios (I tried some options from H: to W:, but is there a physical location descriptor for the memory cards that could be substituted ... e.g. "\Device\MU1A\dash\default.xbe"

P.S. I know the example above doesn't work, but as the knowledge of the Xbox has grown over the years, has anyone come across a way of directly addressing a memory card in this way???

why risk hotswapping for a gamesave, if your going to hotswap, hotswap the mod.

I'm just saying , I don't see the point of the 2nd box, as long as you have a pc with xboxhdm.
