Current version : 1.7.5
What started as a linux-based toolbox has now evolved into a "Ultimate Dashboard Exploit" installer. The mini-linux and its toolbox is still available in this all-in-one game save package.
As always - use the info and tools described here at your risk. Don't come whining if something goes wrong...
Thanks to whoever I borrowed code from, mainly the xbox-linux project. Credits for the Ultimate Dashbaord Exploit goes to Pedro and Rmenhal. The kernel patcher (nkpatcher) and the all-kernel PBL (PBL-Metoo) is the awesome work of Rmenhal.
Features :
- No linux command typing nessecary
- Works on all presently known kernels (3944-5838). PAL users need to take special measures. Read on...
- No dashboard downgrade nessecary. From v1.7 it will even work as it is without adding any additional files.
- Installs/uninstall the UDE. (uninstall is Xbox Live safe - complete removal).
- Retrieve eeprom and HDD password via M$ Dash, via game save.
- Includes all sorts of check to insure a working install and uninstall. Both are aborted if the installer finds than an install or uninstall is not possible. Once installed leave your system files (C-drive) alone!
- A backup of you eeprom is made
- A complete compressed backup of C: is made.
- This can be used to restore C: if this should get corrupted.
- Choose between PBL 1.4.1, PBL-Metoo, PBL-Lite and nkpatcher.
- Choose between MXM and Evox as default dash (other dashes can easily be added)
- Previous installations are detected allowing you to custemize PBL and your dashboard without loosing these changes on re-install/uninstall. Convienient when used as Xbox Live switch.
- Automatically makes a copy of your MS dash and patches it to look for the orignal fonts.
- Uses dualboot (determined by the DVD tray state) to reach the Installer menu and bypassing PBL and your default dash. (For rescuing an installation).
- Boxplorer is available as a filemanager. Users without ftp-access should be able to transfer files to their xbox this way. Usefull for changing the default dashboard.
- Includes a mini-linux with some usefull xbox modding tools, like xbedump
- Xbox with kernel 3944-5838. (If you have kernel 5530 or above you must choose nkpatcher or PBL-Metoo on installation).
- One of the ltools package. They are available at the 'usual places' (/XBOX/Operating Systems/linux/distributions/ltools) as "ready to use" packages including the ltools and game save hack. The are available for the 007 AUF, MechAssault and Splinter Cell games.
- Either dashboard 4920, 5659 or 5960 installed or the update.xbe from one of these dashboards. Alternative the exploitable update.xbe can be added directly to the package (see below).
- Either a memcard and an exploitable game (MA, SC, 007) or ftp access.
- The exploit used in this package does not suffer from the clock loop. An unset clock should also not prevent you from booting from an original game.
- When the UDE is installed you will be banned if you try to access Xbox Live console from the M$ Dashboard. Using the uninstall option will however completely remove the hacked files from C:, so it should be safe to access Xbox Live. One of the exploitable games are needed to re-install the UDE though. Keeping a copy of the update.xbe in the game save folder (see next point) will allow you to reinstall the package even after a dashboard upgrade on Xbox Live.
- The UDE1 exploit works on both NTSC and PAL xbox's, but only with kernel versions up to and including 5530. 5530 owners must either run nkpatcher or PBL-Metoo. Owners of newer kernels (5530+) should use UDE2.
- The UDE2 exploit works on all kernels together with nkpathcer or PBL-Metoo. Unfortunately it only works on NTSC xbox's. Actually, it works on xbox's that have the XBE region 01 set (US/Canada). PAL owners can set their XBE Region to 01 (without changing the video signal to NTSC) and thereby be able to use UDE2. This can be achieved with ConfigMagic for v1.0-1.5 xbox's and directly via the ltools package for all xbox's. Look here for more info on the ltools way of setting the XBE region.
- From version 1.7 the installer will try to generate the exploitable update.xbe file itself from an update.xbe found on the harddrive or in the package. For UDE1 it will generate the 4920 update.xbe. For UDE2 it will generate the NFL Fever 2003 update.xbe. Currently this should work automatically if you have dashboard 4920, 5659 or 5960 installed.
If you dont have one of these dashboard versions you dont nessecarely have to downgrade you dashboard. You can add either the exploitable 4920 update.xbe (UDE1) or NFL update.xbe (UDE2) or one of the update.xbe's from the dashboard versions above, directly to the memcard package or ftp it to the game save dir after you have ftp access. More on this :- If you choose to add the update.xbe to the memcard package you need to compress it with zip to save space.(UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\update.xbe.zip). After adding this file rezip the UDATA folder to make it Action Replay software compatible.
- Alternatively install the package as it is and ftp the update.xbe to the xbox (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\) once you run the package and thereby has ftp-access.
- This package uses the hacked fonts designed by Rmenhal, in the version that check and sets and unset clock. This is supplemented with a small xbe also supplied by Rmenhel, that checks the DVD tray state on boot, thereby letting us boot to different xbe's on boot depending on whether the tray is open or closed. The boot process in this package is :
Tray Open -> E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxxx\default.xbe (x's depend on which package would got).
Tray Closed -> E:\BiosLD\default.xbe -> E:\Dashboard\default.xbe
The Tray-Open boot is a backdoor to let you reach the ltools menu to re-install/uninstall/backup/restore C, if you somehow messed up PBL or the dashboard PBL loads. This means that it is fairly safe to experimenting with adding a new Bios or a different default dashboard, since you can always reach the ltools menu (if you keep this package on the HDD and leave the bert-ate-ernie.xtf intact), from where you can re-install the UDE or gain ftp-access to undo your changes. - The included Bios Loaders / patchers are :
- PBL 1.4.1 (the unofficial version with Focus chip support., doesn't work on 5530 kernels and above).
- PBL Lite (A cut down version of PBL 1.3, doesn't work on 5530 kernels and above. No USB/Controller problems. No S-video problems.).
- PBL-Metoo. Works on all kernels. No USB/Controller problems. No S-video problems.
- X2 4981 (should show as your kernel version once installed). Doesn't work on v1.6 xbox's
- Evox M8. Works on v1.6 xbox's as well as older versions. You cannot yet use the installer on a v1.6 though!
1) E:\Dashboard\default.xbe
2) C:\evoxdash.xbe
3) C:\avalaunch.xbe
To use another BIOS just opload it to E:\pbl\Bioses - Evox is the 3935 version. If you want to use another dashboard just upload it to E:\Dashboard (and be sure the xbe is called default.xbe
- Both the Evox and MXM dashboards can be used to ftp to your xbox :
IP : 192.168.0.3
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
User : xbox
Pass : xbox
- Download the package and transfer to your xbox either by a memory card, by ftp or by hotswapping. If you choose the hotswapping option have a look at xboxhdm. If you use a memcard, as always have in mind that Action Replay cards are known to sometimes corrupt large saves. These packages have been tested by ftp'ing them to an xbox, so if they dont work for you after using a memcard, corruption is the likely cause
- Once installed launch the installer by either trickering the game save hack through an exploitable game, or by launching it from your dashboard (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\default.xbe)
- When the ltools menu is reached you should have the following options (V1.6 owners look at the last paragraph):
- Run-linux. Run the contained mini-linux. Look here for more info.
- UDE install Will install the UDE1/2, PBL/PBL-Metoo (with X2 or Evox M8 bios) or nkpatcher, MXM/Evox and a patched copy of you current MS dash. If it is your first install, a compressed image of your C-drive will be made, the eeprom will be backed up and the HDD password is generated. I recommend that you retrieve this E:\backup_linux folder to your PC via ftp - or by copying the special game save that the installer creates to a memcard via the MS Dash..
The installer will take you through a series of questions to let you configure your setup. You can abort the installer at any time during this with the white button.
This installer should work no matter how your current setup is. However I recommend that you start from a unmodded state. Thereby the compressed image of C: that is stored will let you restore this virgen state in case you or xbox-live messes up your setup. (See below for info on the c-restore option).
The UDE-install and UDE-uninstall (see below), can be used as a Xbox Live switch. When running UDE install a second time the installer will check if the Bios Loader/Patcher and Dashboard directory already exists. If it does you will be prompted to choose whether to keep the existing installation or replace it with one from the installer. That way you can custumize your PBL and Dashboard without loosing these changes on re-install. - UDE uninstall Uninstall UDE by completely removing the hacked files from C:. The installer will check that it is possible to revert C to a bootable state. If you removed some files nessecary for booting to an unmodded state the uninstaller will abort.
- BackupWill make a compressed image of C and store HDD password and eeprom. This is automatically done on the first install of UDE (if you didn't do it with this option beforehand). If you run the backup a second time you will be prompted whether you wish to just update the xbox information or re-generate the compressed image.
- Xbox Information. Display various information on your xbox, including the HDD password. Requires that the backup has been created. If this is not the case you will be asked to run the backup option.
- PBL Configure. Set the timeout for PBL 1.4.1 to either 1 sec. or 0 secs.
- c-restore. Clean the C-drive and restore it using a previous backup (generated be the backup option or the UDE installer). The restore option will abort if no backup is found.
- Then engine behind this installer is linux. When you run one of the options you will see some linux tools run. Some text-output will be seen on the screen to let you know how it goes! When the tool has finished you should be prompted that : "It's now safe to turn off your xbox". Also during the linux run the LED will be orange, but change to blinking green when the tools has finished. At this point it's safe to poweroff/reboot your xbox.
If you transfered the package but have no luck running it some likely causes are:
- You used a faulty memory card. Some memory cards are bad at transferring large game saves like this package (Action Replay cards are known to sometimes corrupt saves).
Try getting a smaller game save with only Evox included. When you have ftp access to your xbox your unzip the ltools package and ftp it to your xbox. - You get error 21 when running the game save hack from MA,007,SC
Could be that :- You custimized the package and forgot to inlude some nessecary files or forgot to sign the xbe's that you changed.
Redo the install from a fresh copy of the package. No signing should be nessecary. - Your copy of the game is not exploitable. Some of the re-released versions of MA,007 have been patched to close the holes that the game save exploits use, like the MA Platinum hits. No solution to this other than get an original version.
- You have previously had MXM installed. MXM creates a menu cache. If you have previously had "DVD autolaunch" set, the MXM in this package will try to launch the game you used for this UDE package. But since the game save hack has changed the signature-key in memory the kernel will give error 21 when trying to lauch the M$ signed game.
Solution is to delete the MXM cache folders (E:\TDATA\00004321 and E:\UDATA\00004321) and retry. - You custemized the package as mentioned in the first point.
- You custimized the package and forgot to inlude some nessecary files or forgot to sign the xbe's that you changed.
- The package installed but the xbox will not boot?
- Be sure you have kernel 5110 or below if you choose to install PBL, or a kernel 5530 or below if you installed nkpatcher.
- Be sure the installer got all the way through the installation. Maybe redo it!
- If you installed PBL, try to unplug all your controllers and reboot. PBL sometimes has problems when severel (and particularly wireless) controllers are plugged in.
- Sometimes the UDE hack will not tricker if the language setting is not the default one (english). Boot your exploitable game to uninstall the package. Enter your MS dash to set the language to English and reinstall the package.
- You have one of the rare xbox's that do not work with Rmenhal's generic font. Go to the official UDE thread and get the latest update fonts. Try the font specific for your kernel version. NOTE : You should edit the font to boot C:\dualboot.xbe for it to be compatible with this package.
- I messed up PBL or my default dashboard. My xbox will not boot.
Power on your xbox with the eject button. This should take you to the ltools menu to either fix your problems by ftp or use the installer to re-install UDE or restore C:
Alternative run the game save hack from your exploitable game to reach the same ltools menu.
V1.6 owners
When running the installer from the graphical (MXM) interface you will not get any video output on the screen (due to an incompatibility issue with the linux kernel and the Xcalibur video chip). You can still run the menu options as explained above, but you will not see any output to the screen. You can however get the information from the screen by retrieving the ltools.log file from the game save dir after installtion.
On the first install the installer will make a compressed image of the C-drive, for safety reasons and later restore capabilities. This will take some time, so just wait some minutes. When the installer is done the LED will turn from orange to blinking green, indicating that it's safe to turn off the xbox.
If you want to follow the installation interactively you can instead run the "mini-linux" from the MXM menu and make a telnet connection to the xbox (info in root post). Then type 'UDE' to start the installer which will take you through a series of setup questions.

Not for using the options mentioned above. For using the extra utilities of the linux toolbox you still need a telnet connection.

cool this package is AWWWWWWWWWWESOME,
I currently have mordens audio hack, what do i need to do before using the UDE installer?
I do not have ftp access to my xbox,
Is this a problem?
Post by: ldots on June 14, 2004, 05:39:00 AM
The important thing is that the update.xbe that is needed is not included due to copyright reasons. You will have to get the correct version (look above) and ftp it to E:\UDATA\4d530017\62d648ebf155\files. Then run the game save hack from Mechassault as usual.

But, am i correct in saying that when you use mordens to un-install, the PBL folder remains?
Will this cause a problem?

Even if it was not removed it will not cause a problem. The UDE installer will replace and existing E:\pbl folder.

You did it again ldots. Another great package.Thanks for saving my lazy butt a bunch of trips to the pc.
Just a couple questions.
1. I assume that because of my Xboxosaurus I still need the old kernel files?
2. Is there any way to change the IP this uses ? I have a little trouble with 192.168.0.3
Thanks again for all the hard work.

Thanx!
ad 1) Yes, the old_kernel package is updated and should be compatible with the new installer
ad 2) Yes. Edit the mxm.xml file in the package. Change the IP number to what you want. You could even remove the <IP>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</IP> and <SubNetMask>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</SubNetMask> entries, and enable DHCP : <UseDHCP>TRUE</UseDHCP>

just as a last question,
People who have the audio hack installed with pbl etc etc can use UDE fine and it will just overwrite anything it needs to? without deleting anything?
Thanks

Unless there is some hole I have overseen, I believe this package would install and work regardless of what you had installed previously. No guarantees though - there are so many posibilities you need to consider making a fool-proof installer
I would recommend to clean up previous hacks though. Starting from an unmodded state the "c-restore" option makes more sense. This will at a later point let you revert C: to what you started out from (could be usefull for downgrading etc.)

I would think booting the tray closed should boot the E:\pbl\pbl.xbe ->e:\dash\default.xbe (the ude), and
Tray Open would boot e:\udata\******\******\**** etc.

The HDD key and HDD password are different things. You are not comparing those are you?
But I have certainly obtained wrong HDD password with Evox in the past. Try to compare the one you get from my package with the one you get from ConfigMagic. I have yet to see a wrong password from this linux tool, but you never know

If i boot the xbox with tray closed, then does it direct me to evox etc etc?
and if i boot with tray open, it direct me to your ltools linux so i can fix anything that is wrong,
also, is this softmod installer is full proof as long as no files are deleted etc etc?

Yes, Tray Open, takes you to the ltools menu. I could never give you any gurantees that the files will never get corrupted, or even your HDD would stop working one day, but all that is requried for reaching the ltools menu, is the update.xbe (renamed to xboxdash.xbe), the bert-ate-ernie.xtf font and the game save package in E:\UDATA\. Leave those intact and you should be OK. And of course stay off Xbox-Live with the UDE enabled!

You might take a look at rmenhal's new fonts that clean up the .xtf shell code and incorporate the tray selection from a seperate xbe that is launched. I haven't had a chance to test the adv. and disadv. of his new fonts but they seem promising.
Post by: ldots on June 15, 2004, 10:25:00 AM
I will definetely have a look at the new fonts (and the dual-launcher). I like the idea of keeping the fonts as simple as possible. We still have to hear from users whether the new 'smaller', but generic font is as stable as the older ones.
Post by: adil786 on June 15, 2004, 10:50:00 AM
if i wanted to set pbl to 000000 instead of 50000,
could you please advise me.
I have not ftp access to xbox, how can i change it?
JUst extract pbl rar then change then rar back up to same format?
cheers
Post by: ldots on June 15, 2004, 11:11:00 AM
Dont think I would like to include more in this package. 4.4MB is still quite a bit. I'm sure some people would like more Dashboards as well
The main purpose was to make an installer that gave people access to the xbox. If you want to change pbl/bios/dash it's really easy (and safe with the dual boot fonts).
If you want to make you own pbl 1.3.5i package, just unzip the save and replace the pbl.tgz (Iceows should be able to compress in this format). Or ftp the replacement pbl to the game save dir in your xbox and transfer to your memcard.
@ adil786
Same applies to your question. As you say yourself : Unzip the save and uncompress the pbl.tgz (Iceows should do this). Then edit the boot.cfg of pbl and re-compress in the same format.

It will only work if the pbl.tgz is the correct archive format. Just renaming the extension will not do?
pbl.tgz is a so-called gzipped tar-file. If you dont recompress in this formst the installer will not know how to decompress.
I dont know if winrar can make a gzipped tar-file. I know that Iceows can.

Therefore, whatever way i switch on my xbox, i get (mxm, mini linux), instead of getting evox when tray is closed.
I used AR
i have a slight suspision that the AR could have something to do with it,
PLease confirm guys, will re-loading it onto AR help?
ALso, last but not least, what is the differentce between the HD KEY and the HD PASSWORD?, which is needed, incase i mess up my xbox?
Regards

With the tray closed do you see PBL loading or does it go straight to MXM?
If not, it seems that tray-state code of the fonts doesn't work on your xbox - though it does both on my 4034 and 5101 xbox's???
As temporary fix you can extract the font posted below and replace it with your c:\bert-ate-ernie.xtf
You will loose the ability to boot to the MXM menu with the tray open, but this menu is available from the apps section in Evox.

Tray Closed : UDE -> dualboot.xbe -> E:\pbl\pbl.xbe -> E:\Dashboard\default.xbe

The HDD Password is what you would need if you ever had to unlock your xbox HDD.
The ltools menu is only available from the MXM dash. When booting with the tray closed you get to Evox. From the Launch Menu -> apps you can choose ltools, to go there.
Maybe Iceows doesn't let you make a tgz archive in one go, but you should be able to first make a tar-file and then gzip it afterwards. Maybe you need to rename the extension to .tgz when doing it this way.
Post by: ldots on June 17, 2004, 09:52:00 AM
The bios included loads E:\Dashboard\default.xbe so you can just empty this directory and put unleashx in there - remembering to rename the xbe to default.xbe. No signing needed if you run PBL.
The PBL installation resides in E:\pbl. So to change to 1.3.5i you empty this dir and put 1.3.5i in there. If you want the same bootorder you can use the bios in my pbl installation. Also remember to put the debug RC4 key in your boot.cfg (re-use the one in your current boot.cfg) and to rename the PBL xbe to pbl.xbe (habibi signed).

(the root post).
Post by: ldots on June 17, 2004, 11:24:00 AM
In the tut. it's says x's because the number (folder names) are different between the games (MA,SC,007).
Just put update.xbe in the files folder as it is. No compression.

Great package. Installed very smoothly. After install, booted tray open, ftp'd pbl 1.3.5i for my s-video, then changed the dash files to MXM (personal preference. Great evox skin, btw)
I Love the open tray-to-gamesave, that's awesome.
Running on dash 5659, with \xodash named \xodash_ to eliminate the LIVE tab in the MS dash. Hard to launch live with no tab, eh?
Again, great package, having finally had a few minutes to actually get it running

I'm currently using v1.3 of your package.
LOOOOOOVE IT, BTW!
With the MXM installer its very reminicent of Morden's old packages.
Anyways,
With each package I've been adding my update.xbe to the .zip before transfering it over to my memory card so I don't need to muck around with changing network settings and FTPing it in.
I got your v1.4 package today and did the same, but I noticed the .zip file w/ update.xbe is now a little over 5Mb. Is this going to be too big for my standard memory card when I get home? If so, is there a way I can trim it down so it will all fit with the update.xbe?
Thanks again for your OUTSTANDING work!
(props to the 5 or 6 other major contributors too!)

P.S. Does your package include nkpatcher for 5530 that I've been reading so much about?

(Kernel: 5101, Dsh: 5659, Version: 1.4 w/ Focus Chip.)
1) Download ltools_007_v1.4, and use 007 gamesave to set up ftp first.
2) Use Slayer's CD to downgrade the dash to 4920 (delete whole C: and copy new C: from Slayer's).
3) Then copy UDATA from ltools_007_v1.4 into E: and copy update.xbe from Slayer's to E:\UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\files
4) Use 007 to boot, and load gamesave from hard drive. It worked fine and I can enter the graphical menu. Then install UDE, and after auto-backup, it has been done. But when I restarted the Xbox w/o 007 game disk, the Xbox stopped at the "Xbox - MS" logo and could not boot further.
So I guess PBL did not work at all in my case. How can I fix this problem?
Btw: before using this package, I also tried the standard UDE metho manually following the tutorials but could not make it work.

I guess if you have a 8Mb memcard it should fit. If you want to trim it down I would suggest not adding the update.xbe, but ftp'ing this in after the package is installed.
I think I might remove Evox and use MXM instead (as this is already used for the ltools menu). That would save 1MB.
In the near future I will also add the nkpatcher, but will wait a bit to see more test results.

Thank you so much ldots for this memcard installer! Anyway, I was curious about the following behavior: when I start the X-Box in the closed tray position with a backed up game in the drive I get Error 21 and FRAG. However, when I start an empty X-Box in the closed position everything boots to EvoX perfectly. Is this by design or just an anomaly in my box? If it is, can I fix it? |
Some people say they have been running backups from DVD on boot with the UDE. I have never done this personaly, but will get error 21 as you describe. The UDE is not active until the update.xbe (renamed) is loaded and the hacked font tricker, so the only way I see that one could boot from a backup is if your clock is not set. This will force the bios to load xboxdash.xbe (update.xbe) which will tricker the hack -> PBL -> hacked bios -> D:\default.xbe
So I believe you should boot up the xbox and let the hacked bios load before you insert the backup.

It does sound like everything installed correctly. If you want to make sure you can run the mini-linux, then make a telnet connection from a DOS prompt (simply run : telnet 192.168.0.3) and then execute :
ls /mnt/C and
ls /mnt/E
and post the output.
But I dont think PBL is the problem. It sounds more like the UDE doesnt tricker - the font doesnt do its job. Be sure to try and to power on from a shutdown xbox - not just a warm reboot.
Other than that it could be you have one of those rare xbox's where the generic font from Rmenhal doesn't work. Since the package worked you should have ftp access, so try the following :
-Get the Iceows archiver
-Paste the code from below to a texteditor (notepad)
-Save the files as bert-ate-ernie.b64
-extract it (twice) with Iceows.
-Upload it to your xbox (C:\bert-ate-ernie.xtf) thereby replacing the old font.
Please report back if this 'kernel-specific' font worked.

I've put in these changes :
- Tray open still reaches the MXM menu, with the simple black'n'gray skin. Suits the purpose. But if the user chooses MXM as the default dash I would like to include a better looking skin. Any candidates?
- When running the install option, the user has to choose between PBL and nkpatcher as the Bios "loader" with the controller (green button -> PBL, blue -> nkpatcher). Welcome 5530 owners
- After this the user chooses between MXM (green button) and Evox (blue) button.
- If you want to switch - rerun the installation. You would loose any changes you did to PBL, Evox , MXM,... when re-installing though.
Dont think these changes deserve a new release. I would also like to see if more changes are made to the nkpatcher.
Edit : Forgot to mention, I removed the "sh: cannot access tty : Job-control turned off" output since that seemed to confuse people

When I run Appz and backup games, does those need to be signed? I heard games need to be signed, if so, how? Where do I find the tools to sign it and how do I sign it?
Post by: ldots on June 19, 2004, 07:39:00 AM
Yes, your xbox will boot to Evox directly, or to the ltools menu if the tray is open. With this package you do not need to sign the apps/backups you add yourself since PBL is used to load a hacked bios in the xbox memory.
Be sure your kernel supports this package before attempting an install (Must be below 5530. If you have 5530, wait till I make the next release).
Post by: ldots on June 19, 2004, 07:57:00 AM
But for the UDE hack (used in this package) you dont need to downgrade. You only need the 4920 update.xbe file from Slayers

Yeah, but some people might want to add a second bios in which case a zero timeout is not ideal...
How about a PBL-configure menu in which you choose a small or zero timeout :
Configure PBL :
- Small timeout (500 ms)
- zero timeout

There is a way, but I wouldn't recommend it.
The hack needs to tricker to run unsigned code. Therefore the update.xbe need to load to tricker the hacked fonts and pbl. If you get one of the first versions of Rmenhals fonts they dont check for an unset clock. Therefore if you were to let your xbox loose time by leaving it unplugged, the retail bios would always try to boot C:\xboxdash.xbe (which is the update.xbe) on boot. This would tricker the fonts and thereafter PBL. If the bios that PBL loads checks for a D:\default.xbe (most bioses do), the backup would boot.
The danger is that if you files on the HDD or the HDD itself get corrupted somehow, you wouldn't even be able to boot a retail game this way.
An alternative was to modify the existing fonts for check for D:\habibi_default.xbe before PBL is loaded. That would mean that you would have to add an habibi signed default.xbe to the backup before burning it, and habibi sign every other xbe,xip that the game uses.
I would say it's worth waiting the 5 secs. it takes to load PBL

| It does sound like everything installed correctly. If you want to make sure you can run the mini-linux, then make a telnet connection from a DOS prompt (simply run : telnet 192.168.0.3) and then execute : ls /mnt/C and ls /mnt/E and post the output. But I dont think PBL is the problem. It sounds more like the UDE doesnt tricker - the font doesnt do its job. Be sure to try and to power on from a shutdown xbox - not just a warm reboot. Other than that it could be you have one of those rare xbox's where the generic font from Rmenhal doesn't work. Since the package worked you should have ftp access, so try the following : -Get the Iceows archiver -Paste the code from below to a texteditor (notepad) -Save the files as bert-ate-ernie.b64 -extract it (twice) with Iceows. -Upload it to your xbox (C:\bert-ate-ernie.xtf) thereby replacing the old font. Please report back if this 'kernel-specific' font worked.

Thanks you for your fast response! Below is the result after telnet:
#ls /mnt/C
Audio msdash.xbe xboxdashdata.1012a700
bert-ate-ernie.xtf xboxdash.bak xodash
dualboot.xbe xboxdash.save xtf_backup
f0nts
#ls /mnt/E
CACHE UDATA pbl
Dashboard backup_linux tdata
I extracted your provided font and replace the original one on the xbox. But it still did not wok and stopped booting at M$ logo.

There's no xboxdash.xbe. You just didn't notice to type it here?
Here's some test fonts to try. Try them in succession starting from 1000, then 2000 etc. Hopefully one of them works.
Someone mentioned in the UDE thread that changing the language made it hang on the boot. What language setting do you have in the dashboard?

So current version is 1.4
Expect a 1.5 soon though. I hope the font for the 2nd update.xbe version get stable since I already prepared the package for this. That means one would just need a 4920 update.xbe and can choose to either add this to the package or just do a dash downgrade before installing the package. If the update.xbe is not added to the package the installer will test if C:\xodash\update.xbe will work.
As mentioned previously the user also has a choice between PBL or nkpatcher and between Evox and MXM as default dash.
Finally I added a "Configure PBL" menu to let users choose a small timeout (1 sec.) or a zero timeout.
The package uses the latest fonts from Rmenhal that checks for an unset clock and the Dual-boot xbe for checking the tray-state.

I'm sure UnleashX is a great dash, but I had to stop at some point or the package would explode. I could make a "fat-package", but I have enough packages to maintain already.
MXM is needed in this installer since I make use of the amazing scripting engine it offers. I wanted to get rid of Evox, but some people wanted to keep it.
But changing from Evox to any other dash is very easy. The bios that PBL loads boot E:\Dashboard\default.xbe as the default dashboard. So just ftp in. Clean the Dashboard folder and upload your desired dashboard. Remember to rename the executable to default.xbe. No signing needed. If you should mess up. Just boot with eject button to reach the ltools menu. Ftp in and fix the problem.

The game reboots because the hacked bios is set to look for D:\default.xbe and execute it on IGR/reset. Simply fix is hit the eject button right after you do the IGR.
A slightly more advanced approach is editing you bios (E:\pbl\Bioses\xboxrom.bin) to not look for D:\default.xbe. Xbtool can do this, though maybe not on all bioses. I remember doing it on the M7 bios though. If not, you can hexedit the bios to change default.xbe to something else.

Nice to hear someone else likes the UnleashX Dash.
Anyway if you are wanting to use the UnleashX Dash (or any dash), you'll need to replace the contents of E:\Dashboard with the UnleashX files (make sure that the XBE is named Default.xbe).
You will also have to edit the file config.xml in the same dir to point to the renamed msdash.xbe. Best if you edit this with notepad on the PC before you FTP it over.
rename any entires in the config.xml file with the text xboxdash.xbe to msdash.xbe
eg.
<MSDashBoard>C:\xboxdash.xbe</MSDashBoard>
to
<MSDashBoard>C:\msdash.xbe</MSDashBoard>
There are about three entries in the file to change.
Hope that helps

One question, is there any way i could edit this package to install another dashboard instad of evox, rather than ftp after the exploit is installed?
eg. how could i remove the evox files from this package and replace them with another dash that would be installed in e:/dashboard/ ?
EDIT-- spelling
Post by: OliG on June 21, 2004, 02:34:00 AM
I put other Dash's on by saving the folder/Dir to DVD and then use boXplorer or XBMC to copy the new dashboard files across. (if you have XBMC or boXplorer on your machine that is)
I think Morden's GameSave had boXplorer with it so that would be one way to get the program on the machine if you have no way of ftp'ing.

*********Sorry just read your message again, didn't read it properly first time.
Well I supose you could try replacing the contents of Evox.tgz with the dash you like there instead. But I don't know how the script copies these files so one for Idots to answer.

It does work, just create your own evox.tgz with the dash of your choice, making sure that the default.xbe is not in a folder in the archive.
(I had to create a zip file and then convert it).
Place it in the same directory with the other .tgz files. UDATA/4541000d/000000000000/files/evox.tgz
The package seems to work a treat and the game save didn't corrupt for me this time.
I like it, I like it a lot!!!!!

So I had mordens installed at one point and tried to do this over FTP. Game me some scripting error. So I uninstalled Mordens and like everything I had, trying to get back to as clean an original state as I could short of replacing the original dash (I kept 4920 installed). Got the installer to run from Mechassault, did the backup, ran the installer. This is where all hell breaks loose.
Booting with the power button gets me flubber and then hangs at a black screen. Nothing. Nada. Doesn't seem to be a clock loop of any kind (althogh I've never seen one and know my xbox is prone to them, the clock dies ALL the time) cause it never breaks out. Hitting some buttons caused the xbox logo to flash onscreen (not the whole flubber, just the ending), btu I have never been able to reproduce this effect.
Booting with the eject button gets me back to MXM to the Idots tools. Which is brilliant, by the way, and is currently keeping my xbox from being semi-hosed (I probably could go through Mechassult again since it'll boot original games. For that matter, I haven't tried booting backup games but I doubt it would since it never gets to EvoX). Where I got curious and went to "Dashboards" and selected EvoX dash, to see if I could switch to it from there, and got the black and green screen of death ("Your xbox requires service... please contact yada yada" in six languages).
Since I can get into Idots tools I can run the unistaller and reinstall. I'm not sure if I should do that yet thought, because I simply can't imagine it solving the problem. In THEORY I'm actually better off than I was when I had mordens, because I can just hit eject to boot straight to MXM and cause I can probably use custom soundtracks. BUt I don't know if this thing is suceptible to clock loop so I'm afraid to unplug it and move it, and it's obviously not thrilled with me.
Anybody had any of these results before? What happened? How can I fix it? Should I give up on the UDE? Is there something fundamentally screwy about my system?
edit: one last note. After each time it went to Linux and ran scripts, it gave me a weird error message. First it would say I could now safely turn off my xbox, but then it said "sh: can't access tty. job control turned off"
I know -very- little linux, but from what I can see that's the script telling me it can't do something it's trying to. was that the problem?
Post by: ldots on June 21, 2004, 12:37:00 PM
If you did manage to get that during its 4 hour lifetime there is no need to get 1.5.1. The functionality is the same. As I rarely use my memcard I was not aware that files are unzipped when stored on the memcard. The new release would not fit on a 8mb memcard if the update.xbe was added, so I compressed some folders internally, and implemented the option to add the update.xbe as a zipped file (update.xbe.zip). The complete package should now be less that 7mb, including the update.xbe.zip.New Features :
- The latest fonts from Rmenhal. Both known update.xbe versions will work. This means that if you already have dash 4920 the installer will work as it is since :
- The installer looks for a user-added update.xbe first, but if this is not found it will try to use the update.xbe from the current dashboard (C:\xodash\update.xbe). Of course the installer will abort of the version is not 4920.
- On installation you can choose between PBL and nkpatcher (for 5530 users)
- NOTE that both PBL and nkpatcher use the E:\BiosLD directory in this latest release, where previously E:\pbl was use by PBL.
- On installation you can choose between Evox and MXM as the default dash.
MXM has a different skin than when it running as the installer.
If you regret your choice you can rerun the installer. - The ltools menu has a 'PBL configure' option to let you choose between a 1 sec. or 0 sec. timeout of PBL.
- Boxplorer has been added and is available from the ltools menu. This should let users without ftp access change the installation. If you want to upload UnleashX as your default dash, simply burn a CD with the files. Run Boxplorer on the xbox and replace the files in E:\Dashboard with the files on your CD. The executable must be called default.xbe
- Happy hacking
Post by: ldots on June 21, 2004, 12:56:00 PM
Dont worry. This exploit does not suffer from clock loops. Also the linux output you quote is not the cause of any problems. You will not see them in the latest release
Now to your problem. When the xbox boots with the tray open the font hack must be trickering like it should, so it does sound like the installation is OK. It must be a pbl problem. Are you using a s-video cable? Could be that Mordens used PBL 1.3.5i that supported this, while I use 1.4.1 (because of the Focus chip support), which doesn't support s-video.

My guess is that you did not have a working MS dash installation before you installed UDE. Could be some settings-files are missing. To see if things look alright , try to run the mini-linux and post the output from the command : ls /mnt/C
If you have Slayers 2.5 and one of the exploitable games I would ftp in. Delete your C: and relace it by Slayers C-drive. Then rerun the UDE installation.

thanks for any help and nice work with the installer, was a bit hesitant to try the manual way cos i get confused easy lol
EDIT: ok i did a bit more reading and think i figured it out. can i just use itools to set up the UDE then put in slayers disk and delete old C: then create new C: from slayers? or is there another option on slayers to copy over the update.xbe?

If you had used 1.5.1 it would have been E:\BisoLD\default.xbe and not E:\pbl\pbl.xbe.
The renaming of the bios is because you used the boot.cfg from Mordens. Instead of renaming the bios you could have opened the boot.cfg and changed 4979_67.bin to xboxrom.bin.
Your installation is fine though.

I would start by checking the version of your current dash. Do this in the Settings -> System Info menu of the MS dashboard. If you have version 4920 you should get ltools_v_1.5.1. Then you dont need to worry about the update.xbe.
If you dont have 4920. Then get an xiso tools like Qwix. Extract Slayers iso and you will find the update.xbe in SYSTEM/ALL/c/xodash
If you can setup a network between your PC and your xbox the easiest installation will be to just use the ltools package as it is. Run the (MA,SC,007) hack to get to the MXM menu. Now ftp the update.xbe in to the game save folder (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\files\update.xbe).
Then run the installation.

PBL, X2 bios, Evox, MXM, skins, Linux, BoXplorer. That's a lot to fit on 8mb
But actually you would be able to fit the entire package + update.xbe on 8mb without removing anything. It's just that on the first install of the UDE the package inflates. If you take a fresh copy of the package and add the update.xbe zipped (only 1.5.1 supports this), the package will not be more than 7mb.
This was the difference between 1.5 and 1.5.1 - having the installer inflate itself. I too believed it was important to be able to fit a working installer on a memcard, regardless of dashversion.

So if you ftp the update.xbe in after uploading the package from memcard you dont have to zip the update.xbe
And of course since v. 1.5.1, if you already have dash 4920 installed you dont have to worry about the update.xbe at all!

lol
As I said, this has definitely taken up too much of my spare time. But I feel good about spending the time since I hope that both the memcard package and xboxhdm (+ its softmod package) have reached a fairly mature state now. I hope maintaining them will be easy in the future.
One idea I had for the future was to make "official" dashboard/apps packages as iso's that could be burned to a CD-RW and installed from a menu in the MXM interface. The installer should check the validity of the package before installing. Such addons would be a lot more flexible and be a workaround the 8mb memcard limit.

d: 100.4920.01 so i dont know what the problem would be? should i just use all the files from slayers first?.. also if i get an xbox that has the newest dash and kernal (halo edition xbox) would this UDE still work or will i have to use something else? i mean i could always downgrade everything to suit it right? just by using slayers files again or transfering what i have on my old one first to the new one?

Sounds like you didn't have the correct files in your dash, or at least the fonts did not exist.
you could try copying the fonts folder from slayer v2.5 installer (SYSTEM\ALL\C) to your box's C drive. Then reboot with the tray open and choose the UDE install again.
Quote PDXKID "i mean i could always downgrade everything to suit it right?"
No, you will need an Xbox with a kernel below version 5713 (If you have kernel 5530 you must choose nkpatcher and not PBL). You can't change the kernel just like you can the dash, so it's worth remembering this when getting another xbox.

Yup, this package should have the latest and greatest for 5530
@pdxkid
OliG pretty much gives you the recipe for solving this problem. Taken directly from the source of the installer :
| CODE |
| Original xbox fonts not found in fonts directory on xbox C-partition??? Do you have dashboard version 4920 or above? Cannot install a patched dashbard to run from Evox without the fonts-folder |
The installer check for :
C:\f0nts\Xbox.xtf and
C:\f0nts\XBox Book.xtf
after installing UDE to determiine whether a patched copy of MS Dash would find the original fonts in f0nts. So either you did not have the fonts folder on installation or the original fonts you had in the fonts folder had already been renamed from a previous softmod.

I put the update.xbe.zip from slayers 2.5 in the whatever files folder then zipped the whole thing and put it on memory card. From there to xbox harddrive, run MA choose run linux save and I see mxm matrix screen start then I get frag and code 21. Any Help
Post by: ldots on June 23, 2004, 01:05:00 AM
If not, then try to make a small game save hack. The corruption of saves with AR cards seem to mainly happen to large saves. Make a MechAssault game save with just Evox. Run this and ftp the UDE package in instead.
I would have asked you if you are sure you have an exploitable version of MechAssault (platinum hits etc. are pathced to not allow the game save hack), but I guess since you do see the MXM startup screen it should be OK. Check this anyway...

Yup! When running the install option the user can choose between PBL and nkpatcher (and also choose between MXM and Evox).
So currently the package includes : PBL 1.4.1, X2 4981 bios, nkpatcher, latest update fonts (dualboot), MXM (2 skins), Evox, BoxPlorer, a mini-linux. And it still fits on a 8mb memcard, even if the update.xbe is added.

If you have a modchip then try to run the E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxx\default.xbe executable from you dashboard (without trickering it from a Mech Assault) to see if the package has been transferred to he HDD correctly.

Try getting a freash copy of ltools version 1.5.1 and unzip it.
Delete your E:\UDATA\4d530017
folder completely and ftp the fresh copy in. Then try re-launching default.xbe from boxplorer with the modchip on.

What Dash and Kernel versions do you have?
Have you got 007AUF you could try instead of MA, just incase it is the game? I've heard of people with problems with patched MA games newer than september 2003.

Your kernel seems fine.
To see if you have the right MA look around the inner ring on the data side of the disc.
The new one says MS02308L, the one you want says MS02301L.
@ldots, I asked once before, you may have missed it(maybe not).
Version 1.4 is working great and I have included my own chosen pbl and bios in the package EDIT: and dashboard (how could I forget UnleashX)END EDIT. I will not be using your dashboard or nkpatcher. Are there any other advantages to upgrading to 1.5 ?

I have never personally used SC...But I was just helping six dreams of black with this. I believe you should extract Part 2 and zip the Udata folder that's in the "part 2" folder.
For part one, either use it as is and ftp the update.xbe or zip the update.xbe and put it in the "files" folder within part one.
Load both Udata.zip's to your HDD and run linux.

| I was wondering, may you switch out the pbl 1.4.1 for 1.3.5 so people like me can have updated packages in either format... Depending on what chord they are using. It would be totally awesomedelic of you...lol "awesomedelic". But, yeah. I believe if you make another release package for the 1.3.5i version of PBL your package would be 100% flawless in my opinion. |
I will definetely not make another set of package with 1.3.5i. Maintaining 4 versions of the package is enough work.
I dont think downgrading PBL to 1.3.5i will happen either. 1.3.5i does not support the Focus video chip so I have a feeling more people would complain about scrambled images than the lack of S-video support.
If in the future you wanted to update the package but not replace your PBL you could use the package by running the mini-linux from the MXM menu. Telnet into your xbox and run 'UDE -install'. The installer lets you decide if you want to upgrade an existing PBL or keep the current one.
@spongy
Yeah, forgot about you guestion there. The major advantages of 1.5.1 is that it support both versions of the update.xbe file (it has two sets of hacked fonts). So that if the user has dashboard 4920, there is no need to include the update.xbe. Also the ltools menu has an option to set the timeout of PBL to either 1 sec. or 0 secs. from the menu (takes effect on next (re)boot). Finally BoxPlorer is included and can be reached from the ltools menu.
@xbaja
The part1.zip and part2.zip files should be AR software ready. Just drag them to the left panel of the AR window. Reason you have two zip files is that the SC game save hack is organized as two saves. One has the actual hack, the other the (linux)-installer files.
Edit : Ups! Just looked at the file. My bad - I had the directory structure wrong. Will fix this.
Edit 2: Fixed!
Post by: jammasterjay on June 24, 2004, 12:51:00 AM
i new i had the correct update.xbe but it would not work as the package kept telling me that it could not find the file in the folder e:/udata......... but when i checked the update.xbe was wrote Update.xbe with a capital U and that was the problem.
also somewhere in this thread it says to rename the install.xbe in your e:/udata...... folder to default.xbe , anyway i renamed it to default.xbe and i got an error 21 when i switched it on by pressing the open button. so i renamed it install.xbe and now when i press open button it loads the ude menu

I would think that procedure will work. You would just have to know where you xebian installation has it's bootloader and link to that from evox.
You you intend to use MA for the UDE install then you most likely have to delete you old "Install linux" Mech saves.
@ jammasterjay
You shouldn't have to rename anything. If you do there is not guarantee the ltools menu and the installation as such will work.
@ Booker T
You should have a kernel version below 5713 to use this package. This will you install PBL or nkpatcher that both disables signature checks, so you shouldn't have to sign anything you add after this package is installed.
HDD upgrades do not depend on which softmod you have. Use xboxhdm for upgrading the HDD. If you ftp the E:\backup_linux folder to your PC after installing this package you have everything you need for building a new HDD with xboxhdm.

Any advise as I am trying to prepare this for a friend that dosen't want to get chiped?
To be clear this is what happens in my case.

Post by: ldots on June 24, 2004, 10:44:00 PM
So the game save hack clearly works just fine. What is suppose to happen at this point is that MXM detects there is a game in the DVD drive and show the content. It sounds like in your case MXM tries to run the game (which it shouldn't) and since the key has been changed in memory by the game save to the public habibi key, the xbox will error on the signature check trying to run a retail M$ signed game.
Question is why would MXM try to autorun the game? Have you had MXM installed before ? Try loading up an Evox game save and ftp in.
- Delete the MXM cache folders : E:\UDATA\00004321 , E:\TDATA\00004321
- Delete everying MechAssault related on E. (E:\TDATA\4d530017 , E:\UDATA\4d530017)

what is the difference between bae1.gz and bae2.gz ? I need to remotely install this exploit so I need to know what files to use, assuming different kernel needs different fonts.
another question is your script allows two update.xbe as valid ones so does that mean I can use the right bae(assuming it matches the right kernel) regardless which update.xbe I have so long it is one of the two allowed ?

Cool, a remote install. You have a friend running a telnet and ftp server and will do a remote install that way?
Both bae (bert-ate-ernie) fonts are the kernel non-specific version, and they both boot C:\dualboot.xbe
The two different bae versions are for the two different update.xbe versions.
bae1 is for the 1974272 byte version
bae2 is for the 1914880 byte version.
bae2 also reguires the font in scrabs.gz. It's a dummy font needed for bert-ate-ernie to be loaded in 'a good' memory location using the 1914880 byte update.xbe.
But just an idea. If you wanted to the remote install, why not have him run the mini-linux included in this package and use the 'UDE' command from the linux prompt. This does exactly the same as the MXM interface. So 'UDE -install' would do the trick.
Of course you would have to reconfigure the IP-address or setup dhcp.

I would say it's not that hard. Get ftp access and ftp the E:\backup_linux folder to your PC. This should contain your xbox eeprom.bin and a compressed image of C that you can extract with an archiver (Iceows works).
Then take a look at the xboxhdm thread (1st link in my sig.). This will let your build a new HDD using what you have in the backup_linux folder.

I have a 1.0 Xbox in my SO's home that has a time zone difference of 15 hours running the audio hack. The MechAssult game as well as the game save memory card is with me so it would be much more troublesome to load it with the new one and ship it.

@ hatrick
Did you choose PBL or nkpatcher?
Do you see PBL start loading or does your xbox just freeze right after the blubber?
If so, it could be the language settings problem that other users have had with the update fonts. Try to uninstall, boot to MS dash, set language to English (default) and reinstall.

The xbedump tool from xbox-linux is included in the mini-linux. Run that, telnet to your xbox, navigate to the xbe you want to sign and run xbedump on this xbe. Example, signing E:\apps\xbmc\default.xbe :
| CODE |
| # cd /mnt/E/apps/xbmc/ # xbedump default.xbe -habibi # mv out.xbe default.xbe |
Check that the signing was succesfull before moving the output file to default.xbe

OK - that was a useful description. So the game save hack clearly works just fine. What is suppose to happen at this point is that MXM detects there is a game in the DVD drive and show the content. It sounds like in your case MXM tries to run the game (which it shouldn't) and since the key has been changed in memory by the game save to the public habibi key, the xbox will error on the signature check trying to run a retail M$ signed game. Question is why would MXM try to autorun the game? Have you had MXM installed before ? Try loading up an Evox game save and ftp in. - Delete the MXM cache folders : E:\UDATA\00004321 , E:\TDATA\00004321 - Delete everying MechAssault related on E. (E:\TDATA\4d530017 , E:\UDATA\4d530017) - FTP a fresh copy of the ltools package in to E:\UDATA I do have mxm on my harddrive and I do see it from the ms dash in the harddrive saves menu. Could Deleting this for the time being help narrow things down? I didn't even know MXM cached it's settings there. I thought it used its on cache. If I recall when I installed it, it said to inclued menucache file or somthing to that effect. |
LDOTS You are the man.
The MXM cache in the UDATA/TDATA was the cause of my Code 21
Maybe you should add that to the first page as an note to those who have used other soft mods or whatever.

I guess you could add it if you want, but my experience was that mxm checks the disc if you insert it and lists the game title so you can just push the green button to launch the game.

Dont see why not? Just dont use the MechInstaller or something like that. The distro should install a linux bootloader so if you put this in E:\apps it should show in MXM, Evox,...

Nice! So the cache was the problem. I will try to make a list of possible problems using this game save package in the root post.

I've had a quick look and without using linux you could have a go at adding your DVD2X folder to the boXplorer.tgz compressed file. The only thing I can see that might be a problem for you is that it uncompresses to:
E:\UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\files\dvd2x
so does boXplorer
E:\UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\files\boXplorer
but it's not a massive hassle to copy both these folders to the apps dir afterwards. If you don't mind copying files then that might be a solution to just get the files on there without having to ftp them across.
tried it and it works but I imagine ldots is pretty busy at the moment and the UDE package is getting pretty large already (not much left to compress) ; ).

Any news on this mc_365 ?
I thought you already had UDE working - maybe your are working on a second xbox
Either you have a rather strange xbox or the mini-linux is corrupt. The last option seems most likely to me. The LED turns orange so the linux bootloader works. What happens next is that the linux kernel is loaded and an initial ramdisk is uncompressed to memory. If either one of these tasks fail the xbox would power off. How did you transfer the package? Memcard of ftp. As usual I suspect a corrupt package...
Also, you dont have any "special" hardware attached to the xbox do you? Try to remove everything but one controller.
Edit : As OliG says - can you make out any of the text when linux loads?
And when you tried the old_kernel, are you absolutely sure you managed to overwrite the old files. Try starting from scratch and use the old_kernel files (remember to rename the included linuxboot.cfg).

Thanks for the kind words remedee.
As far as I know zip-files are not supported in the current version of MXM. But will be in the next release from what I can tell from the MXM forum.
As Olig said the package is pretty big already, so I guess DVDX2 will not fit if you dont compress it? And yes, I do all the file-handling in linux so that would be the best way of custemizing the package.
You could replace boxplorer.tgz with your DVDX2 if you dont want boxplorer anyway, but the DVDX2 would be de-compressed to the files folder in the game save directory.
I know this would be an automatic installer, but why not burn a CD-RW with the apps you want to add and use boxplorer to transfer them to E:\apps

I still working on the same box which is chipped. (testing package b4 installing on a friends non-moded box with the same kernal as mine 4034)
I got past the first problem which was the not being able to launch the package becuase of the MXM cache files allready on my HD. Just deleted them.
I'm using ltools_MA_v1.5.1 (that may not be the actual name) only modifed mxm.xml to recognise my network (tried unmodified as well).
from the usual place #
I ftp everything in, and trigger it with the MA gamesave hack (mod chip off)
mxm starts fine now thanks to your help.
This is where my problem starts.
I want to back up the C:\
I hit back up and the linux text runs at the top of the screen
DVD light turns orange (steady)
Then the screen turns off abruptly with a flash of red at the top
The DVD light remains orange for about 3 seconds
The the light starts to blink
After the light blinks for about 3 seconds the Drive Spins up
Then the box powers down
I tried to execute the run Linux command from the dash to see if that worked
and I got the same results. I've tried this a number of time after re loading the package through ftp and changing the Linux files, redownloading the package and deleting the mxm cache again.
I emailed the same package I'm using to a friend who knows nothing about xbox modding and over the phone talked him through loading the package from AR up until the backup the C:\ part, and from his comments it seems like it ran fine and backed up his c:\ but we were unable to verify as he didn't know how to configure his network to access the box ( originaly why I changed the mxm.xml file to recognise his DHCP ) We both have 4034 Kernal boxes, he has a newer dash than I do his being 59xx mine being 5659
Hope this is helpful in sorting this out
I really dont neet the exploit but I no you as a developer need testers to make your package perfect and I believe you have the best exploit package at the moment.

2) Prior to version 1.5 of the ltools you put the 1.3.5i PBL in E:\pbl

Only thing I can think of is that some files have not been replaced correctly when uploading the old_kernel stuff. Do you have a way to verify that the package is completely deleted before starting over? Try to delete the package from your M$ Dash. And ftp in a fresh copy using the old_kernel.
As mentioned previously remove all but one (conventinal) controller. Could be a USB issue.

Do you power on the xbox with the game already in the drive?
If this is a no go, have a look at xboxhdm and hotswap your way out of the corrupt C-drive. Pack xboxhdm with a working c-drive backup and use the "Rebuild C-drive" option.
Post by: ldots on June 29, 2004, 01:58:00 AM
But just delete the E:\UDATA\454100d folder on your xbox and upload the one from the ltools package instead of overwriting files.
If you have dashboard 4920 you are ready to run the installer. If not you must either downgrade or include the 4920 update.xbe in the E:\UDATA\454100d\00000000\files folder.

this worked very nicely - I think. However, I need to check if this is right.
I started with:
K:5101.01
D:5659.03
I added update.xbe per the instructions and installed UDE.
Now I have:
K:4981.67
D:5659.03
I was expecting that my kernel would stay the same but my dash would downgrade to 4920. Everything looks to be working right.
Is this right? Are those the expected resulting Kernel (4981.67) and Dash (5659) after the UDE install?
Thanks.

None of the dashfiles are being loaded except the update.xbe and the hacked UDE font so there is not need to downgrade. Actually if you should want to go on live by uninstalling UDE from the ltools menu it's an advantage to have the latest dash since Xbox Live will not upgrade you. (To re-enable UDE you have to re-run the installer from a game).
You can run linux with your setup. You an run any unsigned application as long as run run PBL or nkpatcher. The link you have is to the Mechinstaller that used fonts that required dash 4920.

Not sure I understand. If there is a newer dash released why wouldn't Xbox live automatically upgrade the dash to the latest release? And there is a newer dash (5960) than 5659? Sorry if I'm relying on outdated info from xbox-linux.org, but the automatic updates was the impression I got from this:

I said by having the latest dash would would not be upgraded. It doesn't really matter though. If you copy the 4920 update.xbe to your game save folder (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\files). You would be able to re-enable UDE even if an upgrade on live occured.If you run UDE and PBL you basically have the same functionality as if you had a modchip, so sure Xebian can run. Not sure they have a tutorial specifically for your setup but it should be possible.
Post by: ldots on June 29, 2004, 06:04:00 AM
You can rename the xodash/update.xbe. If the UDE installer relies on this (you didn't included the update.xbe in the game save) you should not do the renaming until after UDE installed.
SplinterCell will still phone home unless you block the appropriate ports on your firewall.

I got everything to work on my box.
I dont know what I did different accept before my sucessfull attempt I deleted any saves that were related to any homebrew apps I had on my system. Then I unziped a fresh copy of the 1.5.1 package and a update.xbe.zip (used WinAce to Zip all files ) replace the Linux files with the "Old_Kernal files" changed the mxm.xml network settings to DHCP and Zipped the whole UDATA folder.
Since I want this to work off memory card I decided to put it on my MadCatz, transfered it to my xbox, ran mechassualt, triggered it, attempted to backup my c:\, and it worked! ftp into the xbox and got the backup to my pc.
I haven't installed the UDE yet. I think I want everything to be installed an run from my newly discovered 2Gig f:\ so I'm gonna have to take my time editing my bios' and such.

x's depend on your game. Then as long as you keep the game save on the xbox you can always reach the installer menu from your exploitable game and reinstall.

what the hell is XDK on the dashboards menu?
thanks again Idots.
Post by: ldots on June 29, 2004, 10:57:00 AM
The 'c-restore' option restores C: from the backup that was generated on the first install. It will not touch E: at all but all the hacked files (fonts, update.xbe, dualboot.xbe) will be gone so the UDE exploit will of course not work until you do a reinstall.
The XDK option must be some built-in/hardcoded link. If you dont have XDK (Xbox Development Kit) this option shouldn't do anything.

Before I was under the same impression as this poster, that is until Idots took the time to explain by posts (see page 18 of this thread) that this is not how it works. - thanks Idots.
Maybe a clarification in the original post that the ude install in combination with the update.xbe file do not actually downgrade your dash would help to stem the confusion and the reposting of the same question.
I think potential installers would be happy to find out that an upgraded dash is not a real issue for UDE, nor the later reinstall of UDE as long as you have original 4920 update.xbe in your game save folder. It would alleviate concern and would encourage more people to adopt UDE since:
1. you don't have to actually downgrade your dash
2. if xbox live does update your dash, you can still reinstall UDE and continue to use the latest dash
That information/explanation lowers the "barrier to entry" in adopting/installing UDE. In other words, the whole dashboard issue is really a non-issue once you have the 4920 update.xbe file. A "pro" of UDE is that it's really dashboard independent.
Also, is there a post of iso sources which have the correct 4920 update.xbe? Which game versions actually have the right one? I used Slayers so I don't know. For example does the original MA (laser etching MS02301L on the back near spindle hole) for the game exploit have the right update.xbe, or is it the newer MA (laser etching MS02308L) the one with the right update.xbe? That info might help people and cut down on questions as well. If the MA game exploit version also carries the right update.xbe then that would be a plus obviously as it provides a nice path to move from a game exploit to extracting update.xbe to installing UDE.

D: 4920
Hello all,
I've gotten the package onto my hd via hot-swap w/xlinux, and am able to run MXM and get into the menu via 007. However, a few odd things I have not seen reported here:
On every install attempt, The MXM menu starts off as though I've already selected 'in-tray DVD', so I have to hit 'B' (red) button in order to get to the main menu.
On attempt #1, I selected 'UDE Install', and went thru the various 'press this button for this option' messages. After this, about a page of linux cmds/output scrolled by, ending with 'it is now safe to turn off your xbox' w/flashing green LED. The output from nearly all the commands was errors about dirs/files not existing.
On attempt #2, I again selected 'UDE Install' (to try and squint the exact output for posting here), but after hitting the 'A' button to confirm I got the following error message:
ERROR (line 1): (callscript) "ActionScript file failed execution"
I then hot-swapped into Xlinux again, completely removed the previous e:/udata/4541000d folder, and re-copied it over from a fresh extraction of the package on my mounted C:\ - but after booting the xbox up and trying again (and again), I still get the above error when trying to run 'UDE install' from the MXM menu.
For now, the thing still boots to the normal (MS) dash and runs games, so I haven't hosed it yet
However, I've already swapped the HD about a dozen times through this process...I really don't want to press my luck much further with another swap if I don't have to. But I will...
Any guidance is much appreciated!

1st do I have to edit the bios to detect defualt.xbe on f:\ and if so how do I put it back in PBL so that it will work. ( I have know idea what an RC4 Key is)
Then is it just as simple as editing the MXM action scripts to unpack the archives to the correct partition

@ KiLlEr_TaCo
I've only heard good about the MadCatz memcards. I would say you are good to go...
@ tivomod
I've added a few remarks in the root post that dash downgrading is not nessecary and that an upgrade on Xbox live is no problem if the update.xbe is in the files folder in the game save dir.
@ ruffian
The package has most likely not been transferred correctly. It could be that since you get the package from a mounted windows drive there could be some issues with case sensitive files and folder names. If I were you I would try to keep the package zipped on your win drive. Then extract it in xlinux (may I recommend xboxhdm by yours truly instead
) after copying the zipped package to your xbox-drive. Something like this (assuming xbox HD is primary master and PC HD is primary slave) :| CODE |
| mkdir /win mount -t vfat /dev/hdb /win mkdir /xboxE mount -t fatx /dev/hda /xboxE cd /xboxE mkdir temp cp /win/path-to-package/ltools_v.1.5.1_XX.zip temp cd temp unzip ltools_v.1.5.1_XX.zip mv UDATA/4541000d /xboxE/UDATA/ cd .. rm -rf temp cd umount /win umount /xboxE |
A lot of commands. Hope you get the idea.
@ jcupp114
anjilslaire is right. No downgrading needed. But since version 1.5.1 of the package you dont need a specific version of the 4920 update.xbe. So any 4920 dash you can get your hands on should do. Of course if you have no copy Slayers is the easiest way.

one thing I have noticed is that when i install it says there is no fonts folder when it is trying to hex the ms dash to work....so it must look for the fonts folder after it renames it to f0nts. never got past that but i would think that it copys the dask then renames it?, instead of hexing the original so it will work on uninstall?
i can live without it..i just have to hex on the pc then transfer...
Post by: ldots on June 30, 2004, 02:19:00 AM
1) "C:\f0nts"
2) "C:\f0nts\Xbox.xtf"
3) "C:\f0nts\XBox Book.xtf"
If any of these three checks fail the hexing is not done. So either you had no fonts folder to begin with (you could have removed it or you have a pre-live dash installed) or the fonts folder did not contain the original xtf fonts.
You can make the f0nts folder yourself and copy the stock xtf fonts to this folder and then either re-install or run the mini-linux and execute the patcher on the rename original xboxdash.xbe :
| CODE |
| cd /mnt/C patcher xboxdash.bak -f0nts |
Be sure you dont patch the current xboxdash.xbe since that's the rename update.xbe needed to boot!!!
Post by: ldots on June 30, 2004, 03:03:00 AM
Taken directly from the installer :
| CODE |
| FDIR=`find /mnt/C -type d -name f0nts` 2> /dev/null if [ ! -f $FDIR/XBox\ Book.xtf -o ! -f $FDIR/Xbox.xtf ]; then $echo "\nOriginal xbox fonts not found in fonts directory on xbox C-partition???" $echo "Do you have dashboard version 4920 or above?" $echo "Cannot install a patched dashbard to run from Evox without the fonts-folder\n" exit 1 ... |
So it does look for the "f0nts" folder. It could be you and your friends have that folder, but maybe you previously had a font-hack installed and therefore renamed the original fonts. As I said in my previous post, both the f0nts folder and the original fonts need to be present (in their original form).
Edit : Please get the ltools.log file from the game save folder. This is a log-file from the installer. Please post the final errors at the end of this file.
Post by: Protocol_Unknown on June 30, 2004, 03:31:00 AM
hmm....does \ count as a space?
my fonts are Xbox.xtf and Xbox Book.xtf is XBox\ Book.xtf the same?
Post by: ldots on June 30, 2004, 03:35:00 AM
ls /mnt/C > /mnt/E/listC
and afterwards
ls /mnt/C/f0nts > /mnt/E/list-f0nts
The post get these files (E:\listC and E:\list-f0nts) and post the output.
The orignal fonts cannot be there with their original names with these error-messages!
Edit : Just saw your last post : Xbox Book.xtf is not the same as XBox\ Book.xtf
Post by: Protocol_Unknown on June 30, 2004, 03:43:00 AM
just a note...my original backup of the box before I installed any exploit has the fonts as all uppercase.....XBOX.XTF, XBOX BOOK.XTF

How about adding this feature in your next releases?
A feature that saves ur hdd password/hdd key and eeprom to a gamesave on your xbox which you can then copy to a mem card and then save to your pc?
That would greatly decreases the number of xbox door stoppers!

If you cant get ftp access then burn the apps you want to add and use the included boxplorer to install them.
If you dont want to use static IP, you can edit the mxm.xml file. If you can use static IP the data is :
IP : 192.168.0.3
subnet : 255.255.255.0
login : xbox
pass : xbox
On a side note.
I created the "eeprom and hdd_info" game save (with an ugly logo too
) and implemented support for this in the installer. This means that on install of the UDE and when using the backup function a small game save (10 blocks) will be created that will include the eeprom and the hdd info/password. This should provide an easy way of retrieving/saving this information.Not sure this alone deserves a new release. Current plans for next release :
- The eeprom hdd-info game save
- latest nkpatcher version 4
- maybe a ultra fast, no screen output, single bios, no controller problem PBL. As an alternative to 1.4.1, not replacing it.
- ?
Any other requests ?
Post by: wrayal on June 30, 2004, 11:37:00 AM
When I installed UDE however, I already had a bunch of files in E: due to a previous hack. The installor threw up a lot of errors about permissions (I think) when it came across my psone emulator. In seemed to be stuck in an infiinite loop, so I hit the power button, restarted and all was fine. Dunno, that might be useful to some people in case they come across this problem. Anyway...
Just a couple of q's from me:
1) I had the audio hack installed, but I forgot to backup my st.db. I know, very n00bish, sorry . How can I recover from this? Clean st.db, or simply delete it and re-rip? (everything works, but I would like my custom tracks back again
)2) I tried booting evoxM7 within the standard PBL that comes with the hack (1.4 I think). It got part way through, then appeared to hang at one point, while it was saying something about the second bootloader. Cant remember the specific error, sorry. Any ideas why? Corrupt bios?
any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Post by: ldots on June 30, 2004, 11:46:00 AM
2) For use with this package you should set the primary boot-option of the bios to E:\Dashboard\default.xbe using xbtool. Remember it has to be a BFM bios.
Post by: ruffian on June 30, 2004, 03:39:00 PM
Unfortunately, xLinux does not have an unzip (or zip) command in it's shell. SO... I removed the entire e/UDATA/4541000d directory, and copied it back in from the root of my windows drive. This time, I ls'd all the sub-dirs to verify the files were there, and everything looked OK until I got to the /000000000000 directory. When I ls it, the output is MANY blank pages finally ending with what appears to be the correct dirs/files listed in the LOWER-RIGHT of the screen. Hmmm...
Upon attempting to run the gamesave and install UDE, I got my original linux errors (the ones I got before the ActionScript error in MXM). This time, I paid attention and wrote down the output
Here it is:mkdir: Cannot create directory '/mnt/E/backup_linux': Read-only file system
Making compressed image of c:
tar: /mnt/E/backup_linux/c.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[OK]
Something went wrong! Please report bug.
rm: Unable to remove '/mnt/E/UDATA/4541000d/000000000000/tmp/default.xbe': Read-only file system
<the same error appears 4 or so more times for each file and finally the tmp dir>
FATX: fatx_raw_scan_nonroot: Start sector 0 not in use
Filesystem panic (dev 03:32).
FATX error
chmod: /mnt/E: Read-only file system
chmod: /mnt/E: Read-only file system
I removed the gamesave and tried agan, unzipping the package to a diff location on my win drive, but again same weird ls output in the 000000000000/ dir and same linux errors upon install of UDE.
I'm thinking that perhaps I need to re-download the package, or perhaps as you said, somehow add the zip cmd to my xLinux...can the latter even be done?
Again, I really appreciate the help, the wife is becoming quite pissed at me for spending so much time trying to get this working
(about 7 days and nights now).You are truly a dedicated xbox modder!
EDIT:
XBOXHDM - does it include zip/unzip functionality?
After reading the txt files it comes with, I am thinking that there is no need to hotswap...just boot pc with the xbox hd on the ide, and the xboxhdm iso in the cdrom drive, then choose option 3 to unlock the hdd.
Is this correct? I thought I first needed the eeprom info for that...?

Not sure if this was answered..
You shouldn't even have to do this. The exploit is a font exploit so the update.xbe never really runs, it reads the fonts and then loads either the PBL or KPatcher and goes from there.

Damn, I thought I had unzip in xboxhdm but I dont. Yet! I will make an update soon.
I would suggest to try out xboxhdm anyway. You do need the eeprom to unlock the HDD so either get that (from a game save with Evox) or do the hotswap again.
Under windows unzip the ltools package and the xboxhdm package. Copy the unzipped ltools package to the the unzipped xboxhdm/linux directory. In xboxhdm find the 'make-iso-win.bat' scripts and run this. Burn the generated iso (on a CD-RW if you have one).
Boot the CD and type 'xbrowser' on the linux prompt. You should now see your xbox HDD on one side and the CD on the other side. Copy the ltools package over this way and check the files are OK.
This is worth a go, but I have a feeling it will not work... The output from the installer you posted indicate that something could be wrong with the filesystem on your E-partition. This should be fixable too, but lets not jump to any conclusion before you try out the above.
Post by: ldots on June 30, 2004, 11:49:00 PM
You need to set up the IP on your PC to be on the same subnet as your xbox.
IP : 192.168.0.1
netmask : 255.255.255.0
should do.
Be sure you dont have a firewall on your router that blocks this communication
@ mc_365
All the actual installation is handled by the mini-linux. So to custemize the paths used you would have to know how to extract the initrd used and edit the UDE relevant tools. Then regenerate the initrd. Dont think you could do this on windows...

I realize the xbox-linux.org documentation from the earlier post is outdated with respect to the UDE intaller in that it discusses a different exploit (pre-UDE). However, the documentation is still relevant with respect to communication and updates with MS. The documentation points out that "On September 11th 2003, MS started updating the Dashboard of all Xboxes connected to the internet, even those not registered with Xbox Live". This happens without the user having to acknowledge/confirm the update.
Yes, renaming update.xbe on c: is not part of the ude install in this thread. However it appears update.xbe (the one on c:) is what M$ uses to trigger dashboard updates. We were discussing renaming update.xbe (on c: not in the e: game save directory) after UDE install in the context of preventing M$ dashboard updates from MS (or other file changes by M$).
With UDE installed you wouldn't want the box communicating with M$, much less making updates and changing files and apparently update.exe is the starting file M$ uses. To me it seems like blocking communication with M$ is an appropriate post-UDE install step to take to avoid any vulnerability (such as the splinter cell phone home and anything else M$ might come up with) that might interfere with UDE or even communicate the mod being present on the box (note that the SC phone home reports serial no.). If the box is communicating to M$,then UDE is potentially vulnerable to a future change from M$.
An additional prevention method was closing the appropriate firewall/router ports to prevent any communication whatsoever. Given the splinter cell phone home and potential for future M$ phone homes, I was wondering what the best way was to go about preventing the box from communicating with M$ whatsoever.
I think this is relevant to this thread as an optional "things you might want to do post-install of UDE". And since Splinter Cell is one of the exploits that can be used in this installer package, it's important to point out the phone home feature it carries with it, but at the same time let UDE installers know that there are counter measures they can take to keep M$ from talking to/modifying the xbox.
The communication block or renaming of update.xbe (or even better, both in combination) would seemingly keep UDE intact even if there was a background attempt to try to phone home. In fact, it should work even if a phone home was intentionally initiated by the user, e.g. an unknowing friend not knowing any better tried to use your xbox to connect to xbox live with UDE installed. The first line of defense would be the port blocks - the xbox wouldn't be able to connect to the servers on the outside. Even if that failed and somehow the xbox was making communication, the necessary update.xbe file wouldn't be seen on the server side if it was renamed on c:. Thus that would prevent update.xbe from launching any file changes. Of course, new update schemes could be implemented so the firewall port blocks would seem to be more reliable, unless M$ starts using additional ports.
Any ideas/strategies/links on this topic are appreciated.

Very clever ldots.Can't wait for the fast PBL. I been messing with it a bit myself but couldn't get it to load with your package
A suggestion for the next version: possibly have the bios load another directory first like E:/default.xbe. That way if people want another dash, they can put it there.

Also, I made a usb connector for me keyboard that didnt work (ps2toxbox dongle) but when i used my mac usb keyboard (xboxtousb dongle) it worked. Strange. I think it could be my connector!
Does anyone happen to have a list of the commands for mini linux within 1.5.1? If so, please post or email them to me so that i could create a tutorial from a mini linux, etc. stand point. Thats unless there are any takers!

This uses 4981 bios, which blocks live access. Since I have tried to connect to live with this bios (some time ago) and the connection failed, I feel totally safe.

Of course you need an "real" version of the game. With any exploit.

AND THE WINNER IS - SPONGYYYYYYY
True about the default path being a bit unpractical when using this as a Live switch. However I like the idea of having the default dash in a dedicated Dashboard folder. I see two possibilities :
1) Have the installer (MXM) detect previously installed Dashboard and BiosLD folder and ask the user if he/she wished to replace or keep these on re-install
2) Change the default boot order of the bios to :
- E:\default.xbe
- E:\Dashboard\default.xbe
- C:\evoxdash.xbe
Which do you guys prefer? I kind of like the first option, since I have to have a mess of files the root of my partitions.
@ jcupp114
Dont see how to make an automatic patcher like this without making/editing the ftp server used in the mini-linux. But if you telnet to your xbox or use a usb keyboard when running the mini-linux, the xbedump tool is available that will habibi sign an xbe directly on the xbox.

The name of the game save folder is E:\UDATA\00170015 A free copy of the memcard package to the first one who cracks that name |
cant wait,
how about sending me the package aswell so i can *test it* before it goes out into the world?!?!?!?!

Does 4981 block all communication with M$, notably via the ports mentioned in the xbox-linux documentation? The phone home packets are transfered without dependency on xbox live. Idots reports that the SC phone home still functions post-install in this post. Is there a way to stop this packet transfer other than to cripple the network/disable the ports? Maybe those specific port requests could be disabled by the bios, otherwise this type of vulnerability M$ may exploit further (especially as UDE adoption grows) since they already have in place a "backdoor" means of collecting an ip address and associated serial no. through the SC phone home.

I guess I never worried about it, because M$ can't do anything with that (as of now). Like you said they could use it for evil in the future. So port blocking would be a good solution.

Try "TUGZip" it will handle those .tgz files. Just select "tar.gz" in the drop down window.

So do I take the entire package file... ltools_007_v1.5.1 and put that on the mem card? That hasnt worked so Im guessing not. What are the exact steps? Everything I read seems to skip over the very ???s I have. I cant seem to find a tut for this package. There is no read me and this thread doesnt seem very specific. The closest Ive got was taking everything out of the 454100d and putting the four files inside of it on the mem card. I was atleast able to push right and highlight the 3 "corrupted save" I would really appreciate any help. My wife is about ready to divorce me and its not even my xbox. I cant seem to think about anything else when something like this gives me probs.

@ tivomod
I havent seen any documentation on what exactly the 4981 bios blocks. My guess is it tries to disable the access to Xbox Live but I dont think it will block off all communication, including the SC phone home. I wouldn't be too worried about that. Though I dont like the idea I dont think they can really use that info to anything. If it bothers you I would block the ports using a firewall.

Yup, I like that better too. That's why I put it as the first option. Keeps E: a bit more tidy.
@ Lucied
Make another copy of the bios (E:\BiosLD\xboxrom.bin) and edit it with XBtool to boot another dash. When booting PBL, hit A to select a different bios. That should take you to another dash.
Alternatively you can use one of the the xbe multiboot/dash-selector tools. Cant remember any names right now, but there are a couple of them out there.
@ adil786
I know that there are tHC versions (at least for the lite version) that can boot from E. In that case you could just put the in the E:\Dashboard folder instead of Evox. If you want the full tHC version I would upload it the C:\ and either :
1) Edit the bios of PBL with XBtool to boot this instead of E:\Dashboard\default.xbe
2) Rename the E:\Dashboard folder in which case the current bios will boot C:\evoxdash.xbe. So uploading tHC as evoxdash.xbe should work.
No matter what option you choose you need to make sure that tHC dash will look for the original fonts (f0nts). You can do this by hexing it yourself. Or use the 'patcher' tool that you can run in the mini-linux environment from a telnet connection. Be careful that the output from 'patcher' will be a file called msdash.xbe so you could be overwriting the current msdash.xbe.

Heres my ???s
1) Im i supposed to put the file 45410000d on the mem card. Or UDATA with 4541000d in it, which doesnt work for me "game save corrpted" only way i can get to the ltools menu is with just the 4541000d
2) ok when i do get into the ltools menu i cant pull an IP are my XML network settings correct? I read a post about adding "use dhcp true" and deleting ltools stock ip gateway and subnet. Do you just delete the nembers between the <> and leave it like what i have above? Can someone using DHCP post the XML network settings.
3) When I do try to install the UDE it says something about the 4920 dash. What is the file I want off slayers. What do I need to do to it rename it? zip it? how and what are the steps???? Please help

Post by: ldots on July 04, 2004, 05:56:00 AM
I updated the root post to reflect the changes. To sum up the updates/changes are :
- nkpatcher updated to version 5
- PBL-Lite added as a third option in the Bios loader/patcher selection. Look here for more info.
- A game save is created on first install, and on subsequent runs of 'backup' that includes the eeprom and hdd_into.txt. You can copy this to a memcard from the M$ Dash. The game save is called 'Ltools backup'
- When running UDE install a second, third,... time the installer will detect previous installations of E:\BiosLD and E:\Dashboard. You will be prompted if you wish to keep these on reinstall or replace them. That way you can make changes to PBL and your dashboard (even replace your dashboard) and still use the 'UDE install' as an Xbox Live switch etc.
Edit : When updating from a previous version, you might need to clear the menu cache in MXM to enable new features. This should be possible by hitting Y in MXM and choosing this option.
When using MXM as the default dash, the new options will not be available in the Ltools menu until a reinstall is made. To do this you should boot your xbox with the eject button to reach the updated Ltools menu and do the reinstall from there.

You can burn the files to cd-rw in xdfs format and use boxeplore to copy them to your xbox. but boxeplorer is a pain.
You can also ftp it into your box.
but you should get a copy of MA so you can fix stuf if you mess it up.
just delete the old game save folder and replace it with the new one.
Also delete the dash game save folder as it will be recreated with a new install.

To you update without ftp. Do as mc_365 says. Not hard at all...
Another way would be to put the new package on a memcard from your PC. Go to MS Ðash. Delete the old ltools package from the memory menu. Upload the new one.
Boot with tray open to get the the updated ltools menu. Reinstall UDE. You might have to clear the MXM cache to get the updated ltools menu as mc_365 says, and as explained in the "1.6 release" post.

Your kernel would not be able to execute the correct update.xbe.
Your only options are :
- TSOP flash (not a sotmod)
- game save hacks (which together with nkpatcher will allow execution of unsigned code from the HDD). See the thread on nkpatcher (pinned) for more info.

Dont know why you would want to wipe your C: if you have a working UDE install, but if you do, MXM will stay intact as it is on E: but the hacked font etc. is on C: so that will be gone if you replace C: with the one from Slayers.

What do you mean "dont need the 007 game after that?"
You need the game to reinstall the package everytime.
Ex. You install the package, Play some movies with xbmc.
Now you want to go on xbLive. Boot with tray out, go to uninstall in the menu
and run it. Now you boot your xbox stock and go on live and play.
Later, you now want to play a back-up of a game who's original is scratched.
You put in the 007 original and start mission, quit the mission than load
gamesave "Run Linux" and start the UDE package and install it again.
Boot with the drive closed, MXM starts put your disk in the drive and play your
game.
So to do this you need the disk. If you never plan to go on live you dont ever have to uninstall the package and you can upgrade by replacing the files in the gamesave then accessing the ltools menu from MXM or by booting with the tray open, and reinstalling. But if you don't have the disk you can not uninstall becuase you will need the disk to run ltools from an on modded box.

Post by: ldots on July 05, 2004, 11:02:00 AM
As mc_365 says, dont uninstall if you dont have the origianl game. Only reinstall.
If you have 007 you need to replace E:\UDATA\4541000d with the corresponding folder on the CD-RW, so the package should be unzipped before burning it to the CD.
You dont need to rerun the backup.
@ jcupp114
You basically have three options for getting the update.xbe recognized by the installer :
1) Downgrade your dashboard to 4920.
2) ftp the 4920 update.xbe to the game save files folder after running the game save hack
3) Add the update.xbe to the game save package before uploading to the xbox. It should be added to the files folder uncompressed (as files/update.xbe) or zipped (files/update.xbe.zip).
When using a 8Mb memcard you need to zip it to make it fit on the card.

Your problem is that you upgraded from a previous version of ltools (before nkpatcher and PBL-Lite was added) where E:\pbl was being used. You can safely delete that folder now as only E:\BiosLD is being used no matter if you install PBL,nkpatcher or PBL-Lite.

with this new package am I understanding correctly with my thinking that it will enable the user to uninstall just the bios loader portion of the package, so that you can go to stock bios, then just reinstall bios loader again for modded features, without having to reinstall your dash and dash configurations?

If the installer detects either of these two folders on reinstall it will ask you if you want to keep them or replace them with the default versions in the package.
So you can custemize both PBL (if you use it) and the dashboard in E:\Dashboard and still do a reinstall of the exploit files on C:

Now my thought was to use the same usb cable to run a direct connection via pc to xbox. Sort of like the pc method of setting up the serial connection, or the usb between 2 PC's to share information except this would be between the xbox and the pc (USB).
Could mini linux do this? or ltools?

I doubt the mini-linux has the necessary user land utilities and/or driver for USB link and it cannot be faster than the ethernet link (100Mbps vs 11mbps and I have read some where that USB has even higher overhead than ethernet).
I have achieved about 4-6Mbps for ftp between my notebook and Xbox through a wireless router(802.11b, 11Mbps) so I don't think the ftp of linux is slow at all. May be for those other programs like Evox etc.

All these files except xromwell.xbe is from the 1.5 ltools package. The dualboot.xbe worked as expected(If I enabled a modchip M7 and launch it as evoxdash.xbe). But if I try to go through UDE, it stucks in the Xbox logo and nothing happens.
any idea what could be wrong ?
Post by: ldots on July 07, 2004, 08:26:00 AM
If the 4920 update.xbe is in the game save folder (in the 'files' folder) you can just reinstall UDE.
@ chimpanzee
Dont quite remember with v.1.5, but in v.1.6 there are two dualboot.tgz files. One boots E:\BiosLD\default.xbe, the other E:\default.xbe (both habibi).
In linux run : strings dualboot.xbe
to be sure. I think your problem is that dualboot.xbe points to a wrong place.

If you dont have a working softmod right now (after the live update) then you cannot reinstall. You need an exploitable game or use the UDE package for xboxhdm and hotswap
@ chimpanzee
If the dualboot.xbe works as it should. Then either its not signed correctly or the bert-ate-ernie font doesn't tricker. You could recompile the font from Rmenhals source to include the blinkled code that's currently disabled. That should let you know if the font trickers or not.

which is the latest source for the fonts and what tools do I need to compile it ? Hopefully, I only need GCC and the like.

Strange, seems this bios is supposed to just be for 1.6 ? Evox released the two different version for some reason I imagine.
so anyways, my whole setup is

@ dabbage
Thanks for the info on Evox M8.
About the update7 fonts. Did you try the generic font or only the kernel specific ones. I would like to stay with the generic one, since I would otherwise have to detect kernel versions in the installer (would take a bit of work).

This has evolved into a UDE1/UDE2 installer. Moreover the installer is a bit more clever now in that it shouldn't be nessecary to include the update.xbe anymore. Read-on...IMPORTANT!. The hardware issue of V.1.6 xbox's completely slipped my mind
The mini-linux that is the engine behind this installer will not run on v1.6 xbox's. We need to wait for an updated linux kernel for that to happen
So at the moment this intaller will not work on v.1.6's.
Changes :
- PBL-Lite replaced with PBL-Metoo
- Latest nkpatcher
- Latest update-fonts (v.70) still the generic version.
- Abort option in the "UDE install" menu. Once the setup questions start you can now abort with the white button on the controller - unlike previously.
- On "UDE install" you can choose between UDE1 and UDE2. The installer will abort if you choose UDE2 but xbe region 01 is detected. So this still means no UDE for PAL 5713+ owners
- Choosing UDE1 you can choose between PBL 1.4.1, PBL Metoo, nkpatcher
- Choosing UDE2 you can choose between PBL Metoo and nkpatcher
- Choose between X2-4981 and Evox M8 bios (needed for v1.6).
- If you have dashboard 4920, 5659 or 5960 there should be no need to include the update.xbe yourself (for neither UDE1 and UDE2). If a suitable update.xbe is not found in C: or in the game save dir. the installer will try to generate either the 4920 update.xbe (UDE1) or the NFL update.xbe (UDE2) from a set of patches. The generated update.xbe is checked before installing.
- If you include the exploitable update.xbe yourself (4920 update.xbe for UDE1, NFL update.xbe for UDE2), the installer will not do any patching but only check the update.xbe is the exploitable version and continue.
- HDD password viever changed to "Xbox Information" giving - yes! more information
)Root post has been updated accordingly.
How to update :
- Run your current UDE hack.
- Either by ftp or using the BoxPlorer filemanager remove your current ltools installation by removed the game save dir in question. For MA that would be : E:\UDATA\4d530017
- Either by ftp or using BoxPlorer upload the new version of the ltools package (uncompressed of course).
- Power down and then power on with the eject button.
- You should reach the ltools menu. To get the latest menu options you might have to reset the menu cache. Hit the yellow button and choose "Reset menu cache". Then do the power off, power on again.
- Run the UDE install to update your current installation.

Please reread the Release post.
The new architecture of v1.6 xbox's completely slipped my mind. No harm should have been done to your xbox though. The linux kernel just does not support the new hardware of v1.6's yet.
Did the LED color turn orange? Did it stay that way or did it turn to blinking green at one point?

Dammit. Small bug on my behalf. I will make a small update to remove this error message. But this bug shouldn't affect the installation. After the backup of C: was made didn't the installation finish?
If not then ftp out the ltools.log file from the game save dir. and post it or PM it to me.
@ adil786
To my knowledge Rmenhal too went for a barebones PBL version based on PBL 1.3. So his version should be just as fast, have no USB/controller problems and no s-video problems. Seemed pointless to keep PBL-Lite.
PBL 1.4.1 I just kept there since some people like this debug screen output.

Maybe it does. But I dont think is tested yet. On the gentoox site Shallax managed to get linux running on a v1.6 but without video from the boot loader. Thnink it's too early to trust the xcalibur support of the linux kernel yet.
The UDE package for xboxhdm will be ready soon. This should allow UDE2 installations for v1.6 owners. Of course it reguires you to hook the xbox HD to your PC, but requires no memcard.

Or may be a headless linux without video support then telnet into it as it was before ? Afterall, you only use the dashboard as a front end and all the guts is in linux :-)
Post by: ldots on July 27, 2004, 05:37:00 AM
But this wouldn't work if the bootloader freezes the xbox because it tries to initialize video for the xcalibur chip.
Could someone with a v1.6 try to upload this package to their xbox and run the mini-linux (first option of the ltools menu). Then try to telnet to the xbox :
IP : 192.168.0.3
netmask : 255.255.255.0
user : root
pass : xbox
If that works then you can install UDE2 from the commandline by typing UDE.

what is the difference between the X2 4981 bios and the new Evox M8,

which is better for IGR so i can IGR while im playing a game?
thanks ldots
Post by: ldots on July 27, 2004, 07:58:00 AM
The bug reported by reybie did indeed make the installer freeze. I had not seen this in my testing since this piece of code was not run.
Seems the .1 updates cant be avoided
@ adil786
Evox M8 is needed for v1.6 xbox's.
On v1.0-1.5 you can use both. Try them out - see which one works the best for you. The both have IGR. The Evox bios is quite new so I dont think there is a list yet with a comparison of which games have problems on X2 4981 and which games have problems on Evox M8. Remember nkpatcher is another alternative.

How did you run linux before making the telnet connection? If you choose the "UDE install" menu and then telnet in after the installer has already been running you would have none of the partitions mounted. That would give you output like that.
Instead choose the "Run mini-linux" menu before making the telnet connection.

Another bug. On the positive side it's good to have them discovered this early. I guess it's only to be expected. This commandline installer has so many checks now PBL, bioses, UDE1, UDE1, dashversions, update.xbe patches ...... It's close to 700 lines of code now.

one quick query as crimson skies and counter stike had pbl issues any way around this or has that been fixed ?
I'm guessing sign it and stick on e then run with tray open or could you sign it DVD-R then run with tray open + close tray ?
just incase someting else doesnt like pbl

If some games dont work with PBL, try nkpatcher. That should in principal work as if you signed the game and ran it with the retail bios.

I can get around the installer asking for the files by just downloading the MA package but I still get the region error. Am I the only one having this type of problem or are there other? I hate to have you try and fix something for one person.

The eeprom decryption problem strongly indicates that he has a v1.6 xbox. The linux engine apparently did run just fine so with some small changes it should be possible to install the UDE package on v1.6's from a telnet connection.
I would put in a warning not proceed unless you are sure that you have a region 1 xbox and then continue the installation as usual.
@ adil786
Do crystals come as v1.6 ???
Thought they all had 5713 kernels meaning they are not v1.6. You can just go ahead and try the installer. It will abort if it cannot decrypt the eeprom and will not do any damage to your xbox. It will leave the compressed C: image on E: but that's always useful to have anyway.
Edit :
BTW. The bugs reported by txaggie07 has been fixed (except the v1.6 eeprom decryption) but I have not made the update yet. This doesn't affect the "regular" MXM based installer that should still work as usual. Only the commandline installer used from a telnet connection is affected.
I will make the update but was hoping I could fix the v1.6 eeprom decryption first.

will PBL 1.4.1 work with no problems on the Pre-focus chips? or does PBL occasionally "glitch" in a non boot(the controller solution)
i have a version 1.0 xbox first kernel(3944?), but do i have to "get" the 4920 update.xbe for UDE1(i upgraded to dash 5659 being stupid at the time). what are the chances that the installation will mess up, and cause a nasty error(red-green flash), on my 100% virgin(gamesave hack installed last night, to see the beautiful evox screen) xbox. will the hexed version of the "original" dash be backed up, or does it actually backup before it does ANYTHING, and if the install does screw up, can it be fixed by a gamesave hack, ftp, and an original exploitable game?
and if you all will answer ALL of my questions... chalk up another xbox for the community!
thanx!
EDIT: Oh! and if anyone has a lexar jumpdrive secure 128 mb, and wants an installer or gamesave hack put on it, i will send you the hex values to put em on!(must be formatted under XFat first *by xbox*)
Post by: ldots on July 29, 2004, 03:42:00 AM
Actually with the latest ltools version it doesn't matter that you upgraded your dashboard. The installer should be able to generate the 4920 update.xbe itself from the 5659 update.xbe on your system.
It installer shouldn't screw up. It something is not found or isn't as expected it should abort. Should it somehow happen you should still be able to boot with the exploitable game and enter the ltools menu that way. Then you can run c-restore to revert the C-drive to what it was before attempting the install.
The installer doesn't hex the original MS Dash but a copy of it. The original is left intact.

If some games dont work with PBL, try nkpatcher. That should in principal work as if you signed the game and ran it with the retail bios. |
Thanks
I haven't come across this yet but it's handy to know - I must admit to being a bit ignorant of late as most my time has been spent taking all my emulators from pc to xbox now it has a bigger hard disk thanks to your tools !
Sorry to sound really dumb but do you need to sign everything for NKPatcher or does it sort of do that as it runs.
I get really confused about all the variants for 1.6's as I have a 1.4 I didn't bother reading the threads from the start !
What's the deal with Live with UDE is it ok if you boot with retail game in does it matter if you've changed your HD
I'd guess the best bet would be to uninstall using boot by eject then reinstall from memory card after

either your game is fixed or there is something wrong when copying. Game save so far hasn't failed on any of the Xbox released and your one is pretty old so it must work.

I installed the UDE2 package, and all seemed fine. I have a 160Gb Hard drive, but none of the game or apps show up when using UDE2. I edited the "evox.ini" to look in F:\HDDLoader\ where all my games are, but they don't show up. Same with all theh Apps, nothing shows up??? Also, only have 16Gb or so showing in Partition F, using UDE2, but I have about 40Gb available. It's prob. something simple I'm missing. I appreciate the help and info... thanks, jb |
Did you choose the Evox M8 bios?
I dont quite remember, but I think the Evox M8 bios included in the PBL Metoo package has LBA48 defined as F: taking up to 137GB and G: taking the rest.
If you previously had F taken everyting you need to edit the Evox M8 Bios to do the same with the "modified" evtool included in the Metoo package found at 'the usual places'.
Dont start formatting your partition or writing to it.

Thanks ldots, choosing the other bios did the trick.
All is cool- I was editing the wrong/old "evox.ini" file
I found the right one in E/Dashboard... duh!!!

I'm trying to install a diff. bios to get rid of the Animation and tweak some other opitons.
I've read to put bios's in e\pbl\bios... but I don't have that folder anywhere.
I found the M8 and 4981 .gz files...
Where and how do I add a custom bios?
Thanks for the info and help...
EDIT: ok, i tweaked a M8 bios using the "metoo-m8pack" and loaded it into e/BiosLD/. The fan speed % worked, and the LED colors worked, but thats it.
I was trying to get rid of the Animation, etc.
Is this possible using UDE2?
I'm a modchip guy, so I'm new to all the Dashboard exploits, but they are indeed very cool!!!!

Post by: ldots on August 03, 2004, 01:56:00 AM
Sounds like you ran the mini-linux and did the install from the commanline (running the UDE command). Is this correct?
The commandline installer currently has a bug. I've fixed it but was waiting with making the update until the tools worked for the v1.6 eeprom.
If you have an older xbox (v1.0-1.5) you can try the graphical (MXM) interface.
@ Bv8oZ
0x00000004 / XBE_REGION_ELSEWHERE is pal (region 4) only. When you xbox is set to region 1 it will not boot this game. Try getting an exploitable version of MechAssault. My pal version has both region 1 & 4 allowed.
@ jbstix
UDE2 is not working like a chip in this case. The bootup (animations) are still done by the MS kernel. We dont get control of the xbox until the update.xbe is loading. So you cannot control the animation in your hacked bioses with software exploits.

This should work with the 5960 update.xbe - unless there are more versions of this update.xbe around than the one I include the 5960->4920/nfl patch for.
If it doesn't work with your 5960 C:\xodash\update.xbe try getting the ltools.log from your game save dir and post the last lines of interrest.

You should only see this error if any of the files in the package are missing or if an update.xbe is not found (either in the game save dir or on the xbox HDD).
Try using a fresh copy of the package. Completely clear your current copy and upload a fresh one.
Are you using the graphical (MXM) interface or the commandline/telnet installer?

actually ldots it is much simpler than that, i got thc working wih your packag no problems.
first you need to patch the XBE using dashboard font patcher to look for the new fonts, i can't be arsed to explain it here, look for the topic.
then place all of the files on c:\
then place the XBE in e:\dashboard as default.xbe.
job done, reboot!!!!
(this does work)
the reasone for this is because even though all of the files need to be on c:\ the xbe for it can be executed from pretty much any location, all it does is search for the files on the c drive. remember to patch first!

I installed the mod last night and it is awesome! I used xbox saves manager to transfer save on my already modified xbox. The problem is for future installations on non modded boxes I need the save on a memcard. I own the MS 5meg card and the game save is like 6megs. What are my options, I do not have a usb cable of any kind but I can ftp to my box and manage game save files.
Is there a way of altering the game save without evox to make it fit onto my memcard? Also, I edited the mxm.xml so that dhcp is set to "true" in order to match my network settings. I then rezipped it and used xbox saves manager to ftp back into xbox. Would there be any dangers of modifying that xml file?
Thanks for the help!

Hopefully it supports the v1.6 xbox now. This is not as big an update as I hoped, hence the .5 version number. Apparently the linux kernel still doesn't support the Xcalibur video chip of the v1.6 xbox to allow video output, but the installer should otherwise work on all xbox's - just without output for the v1.6
Changes :
- Fixed bugs that prevented the UDE installer to work from the commandline.
- Updated xtool to support the v1.6 eeprom (thank to Rmenhal for the help on the new eeprom
hashes). - Included a tool to edit the XBE region of eeprom and modified xtool to take some more safety measures when writing back the eeprom. Look here
- Reintroduced PBL-Lite
- Omitted the Bios selection for the regular PBL 1.4.1 and PBL-Lite. Only Metoo support the Evox M8 bios anyway.
When running the installer from the graphical (MXM) interface you will not get any video output on the screen. On the first install the installer will make a compressed image of the C-drive, for safety reasons and later restore capabilities. This will take some time, so just wait some minutes. When the installer is done the LED will turn from orange to blinking green, indicating that it's safe to turn off the xbox.
If you want to follow the installation interactively you can instead run the "mini-linux" from the MXM menu and make a telnet connection to the xbox (info in root post). Then type 'UDE' to start the installer which will take you through a series of setup questions.
For non-v1.6 owners who dont care about PBL-Lite there is no point in upgrading.

It's after you push "UDE install" or whatever you choose that the mini-linux is started as the installer engine, and this does not have Xcalibur chip support yet. Hopefully soon though.

I was wondering should I use the 5713 specific fonts?
Or maybe its somthing entirely diffrent?

Since he has a 5713 kernel, did you install UDE2?
And if it's a PAL xbox you have to set the XBE region in the eeprom to 1 first.

Great application by the way!! I have a modded XBox, but I got that from a friend. I'm now trying to mod my own. I have ltools 1.7.5, and an original xbox (came out on launch day)....I tried using the MechAssault method, and everything was going great. I selected what I wanted as far as dashboard and UDE2 and everything (I have a NTSC Xbox as well), however once I started the install, the xbox started flashing orange and then after around 5-10 seconds shut off. When I boot up, It looks/acts like a normal xbox. I'm using a normal MS memory card that I ftp'd the data onto from the other modded xbox. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!!
BTW, I'm using kernal 3944 and dash 5960, and I don't have update.xbe on the disc. I also have an original MechAssault disk.

Get the old kernel package.
Replace the linux files in the installer with the correct, renamed files
from the old kernel package.
Re-zip, transfer and install.

Use MAwithevox to gain ftp access.
Transfer ltools thru ftp.

So that when you boot with the CD Drive open it goes to your preffered set dashboard rather than the MXM UDE installer one???? I have unleashx running as my main dash it just annoying when you boot with your tray open and get the UDE install screens.

I know I can use EVTools and configure it properly, but I had to use a different bios than the one that came with this exploit in order for EVTools to recognize it properly. I have a version 1.0 Xbox, and didn't know if this was part of the problem or not. So, I grabbed a clean M8 bios from the usual place, and was sending it through EVTools, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause any problem with the setup in place with the current bios?? I'm going to mirror the current drive, upgrade the bios in the new hard drive and then format the f drive. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks, Synbios1978 |

I do have one small suggestion. After installation of UDE/BIOS LOADER/DASHBOARD, would it be possible to put LTools itself in another directory besides the E:\UDATA folder?
This sounds kind of stupid, but I wanted to actually *PLAY* the game of 007. I found that I could no save my game because the exploit just takes over. So to play the game, I had to delete the 007 gamesave hack from the hard drive. I played the game, save my data, blah, blah
Everything was happy in the world until I though "man, I should try PBL-lite cause 1.4 is sloooow" so I pushed eject to fire up LTools (or I tried to)... Error 21... huh?? so then I booted evox and tried to run LTools from the apps folder... it would go up and highlight it for me... what the... so then I'm like, OK I have to run 007 again. And then I remembered.... I had deleted the gamesave from the HD!!! oh man what an idiot. It was easy to fix -- just xfer the gamesave exploit back.
It would be cool to have LTools installed into like E:\Apps\LTools and have all the booters and such point to that folder instead of the gamesave folder. It would seem more organized under Apps as well.
Just a thought.
Thanks again for making a wonderful tool for us newbs!

No, I don't think it will work as ConfigMagic doesn't read the eeprom correctly on V1.6 xbox's. So drive locking wouldn't work and the fact that its confusing and unclear doesn't help.
I would say just use LTOOLS (1.7.5) to install the UDE2 exploit on your stock HDD, once you have the eeprom.bin file created by the installer you will be able to lock the new drive to that xbox. You can then use XBOXHDM by ldots to create the drive image and lock it with the eeprom.bin file you got from the UDE install.

The NTSC Xbox users would have no problem running on Xbox Live once running the un-install option (needing no eeprom changes) but the PAL / NTSC-J users would need to change the eeprom region back to the original to go on Live, wouldn't they?

well probably since most retail games stop working prior to the exploit. Don't think when you hit uninstall it changes back the eeprom automatically

Thank you ldots!! After trying every other exploit known here and everyone of them failing - your installer package finally did the trick.
Only bug was the msdash.xbe file was never created, for whatever reason, so I just renamed the xboxdash.bak file and hexedited in the f0nts location and voila - she's a hummin' along just perfectly.
Thanks again to everyone in the forum - lots of late nights reading everything on here!
Post by: ldots on August 25, 2004, 03:30:00 AM
You cannot swap out MXM for a hexed MS dash. MXM is needed for the graphical interface of the installer. If it fits you could however try to replace the included Evox with a copy of the MS dash.
The M8 bios is the same as in Rmenhals PBL metoo package. You have to use the EV tool included in this package for editing.
@ akihabara
The numbers are the version of the ltools package. Latest version is 1.7.5
Couldn't say what went wrong in your installation. Maybe some files required for the installer were not found. Ftp out the ltools.log file from the game save dir. and post/PM the last relevant entries.
Post by: Agent Orange on August 25, 2004, 04:35:00 PM
Now I'm working on the MS dash part. I know you've stated that I can't remove MXM, because the installer uses it... which is understandable. The problem is, I was hoping to use EvoX as a dash, because I have my .ini's set up with quite a few functions, so I can't remove that either.
I thought it should be easy enough to hex edit the "dualboot.xbe" in the package, but there are 2. It looks as though the "dualboot_evox" version is set to boot C:\default.xbe on tray closed, and the gamesave on tray open. Then the "dualboot_bld" boots from the E:\BiosLD folder on tray closed. My question here is which .xbe is installed when? or more specifically, when is the evox one used, if the other is the one that keeps popping up on my xbox?
The other question is, how could I go about editing the scripts used for installing everyting? If I could just add a line, I could g-zip an MS dash, and it should fit on the mem card by getting rid of the unused Bios loaders.
I'm sure you get your share of q's about this installer, so I hope I'm not bothering you with a million questions. I just like to customize installers a lot, and this one uses some stuff I've never seen before.
One last thing, about the scrambled output. Is this a known problem? is it just my component cables, or does the mini-linux always do that?
Thanks again for your awesome work.
Post by: Agent Orange on August 25, 2004, 08:52:00 PM
I wish I had a bit more insight into how your installer works, so I could just try it out...
For now I'll see what else I can mod...
Post by: morpheus23 on August 26, 2004, 10:35:00 AM
I have one question though, for myself the main reason I have xbox's in my house is I use them for Xbox media center, I would like to have this app launch at startup, but since this is a software mod would there be any issues?
after reading the XBMC startup on boot how to in the forums to make it happen, it looks to me like there may be problems doing this with the software mod.
anybody have any experience trying this?

So to complete this little project:
1. Uninstall UDE
2. Run Uninstall Fonts script? (is this including the above step)
3. Boot with my retail Live disc
4. Sign up for Live, let it do its thing
5. Play Live
6. Re-install UDE via Memcard Savegame (& Fonts?)
7. rinse and repeat
That look good?

I'm @ 5101 and 5659 1.4 or 1.5 (not sure which)
I must say ldot, this is a great job from what I've read...I do have a few questions:
1a. Does the 007 save copy to or change anything on a virgin xbox prior to selecting "install"? I ask this becuase I would like to use it to first get the hard drive password, copy the virgin drive in tact (unaltered) - then perform al my hacking on a 120gb maxtorI have on the way. I don'twant to apply files or make any chanes to my stock drive. I want to do everything tothe maxtor.
1b. Knowing I want to do the hacking on the maxtor, and leave my stock hard drive alone, would it be easiertouse the Slayer CD, and c: drive as a starting point and leave the stock xbox drive out of it other than getting the password to use with the maxtor?
2. Do you see any issues with my kernel, dash, or xbox version I should consider?
3. Do I actually need the Slayer CD for the 4920 (ope that's right) update.xbe file?
4. How would I go about xbmc? Do I have to use it instead of evox as a 2nd dash? Or can I add it somewhere on the E: drive?
Any advise on the above questions is appreciated!
Thanks much for helping and creating such a great package.
Post by: krayzie on August 27, 2004, 12:46:00 AM
1a: Just transfering the save won't change anything (apart from the save). I don't know how and if the eeprom is backed up with ltools but if you find it somehere and transfered it I'm sure you can delete it.
1b: Slayer's installer is easy to use if you have chipped or tsopped xbox. If you don't have that there is no use to use it. Better use xboxhdm to create the disc.
2: no issues whatsoever if you use ltools
3: no, the right update.xbe is automatically created with the new ltools if you have a 4920, 5659 or 5960 dashboard.
4: you can run xbmc as a main dash directly on bootup or you can put it in the apps folder between the other apps. This is up to you.

Post by: Agent Orange on August 28, 2004, 04:59:00 PM
if you replace the bios, just remember the .gz will have to keep the same name, but the .bin inside can be anything.
You'll want a 256K BFM bios for the gamesave to fit on a mem card, however...

Post by: _0_1_ on August 29, 2004, 08:26:00 AM
Upon start up, if there is a game in the drive, the box boots straight to the game.
If I power on the box with the tray open, it boots to MXM and I can't load anything from there (EvoX, ltools, etc.) because it creates Error 21.
If a game is in the tray and I power on with the tray closed, wait for the game to boot, then open the tray, it boots to EvoX.
I don't know, but I'm sure it's not suppose to do this. But other than that, it works great. Thanks ldots!

I got me a brand new PAL xbox, kernel 5530 / dash 5659, my HomeMade controller usb connection, my memcard (actually, will arrive tomorrow), my Splinter Cell and the corresponding ltools. I'm planning to try ude1 with pbl-metoo, as recommended for my kernel version. As my dash is v.5659, I understand I don't need to downgrade it.
Now: my question (stupid as it sounds) is this: my console is set to Spanish. I was already thinking of changing it to English before the install, just in case, and then change it back to Spanish, but will it cause any problem? Is ude (or the installed programs/versions) language dependant in any way?
Thanks for reading me, and I assure you a week ago I had no idea this could be done. Your tutorials and posts are awesome!

I have an NTSC 1.6 with K5838, D5659, and a network that I can't change my gateway on. I can't FTP back into the xbox but I got ltools to boot via MA exploit. When I ran the UDE Install I told it to do UDE2, nkpatcher, Evox M8, Evox and waiting until the light was blinking green. Power cycled and it boots the original MS Dash.
Now, here's the question: Did I mess up? or is it supposed to boot the original dash and I have to do something to invoke evox?

You can boot directly to the evox dashboard if that's what you mean. Slayer's evox is an install disc, he has nothing to do with the evox dashboard itself. You can't use the install disc for upgrading hd's on a softmod though.

OK so you are saying I can install EVOX on a 1.6 and all the goodies that go with it, but not with Slayers.

I found this the save was 550 blocks and my memory card holds 502.
I solved it by opening the zip and removing the boxplorer folder, then once I had booted the save exploit I ftp'd in and put the folder back where it belonged - inside the files folder of the Mech assault save.
This is also the easiest thing to do with update.xbe if you need to add it, simply winzip it and call it update.xbe.zip (Make sure it's not inside any folder) then ftp it to the mech assault save dir something like e:\udata\xxx17\ and put it in the files folder.
I cannot remember the exact folder name but I'm sure this is in the readme
and you can see it when you unzip the save.PS.
I've had no luck with the action replay pc tools recently, initially used this to transfer my save, tried again recently and it wont write to the memory card, new software crashes it.
even tried on a fresh install of win 98, old tools don't write new one crashes, I ftp'd it to a friends xbox and copied it onto it that way - no problem.
and my usb cable works fine as I use the pad on my pc.
guess it's the naff datel software

already changed the region
when running UDE -UDE2
ran into the same problems faced by DAVID7 per
This program will install the ultimate font exploit

all precently known xbox version (K:3944-5838)
but will only work on region 1 consoles (NTSC)
Continue [y/n] ? : y
(none) E # y
y: No such file or directory
i only have the NTSC/J Sc so there is no chance for reboot - i had to reverse the region change as otherwise i cannot get back to the exploit at all
any solution perhaps to ftp the files in since there seems to be a linux problem with this batch of ntsc/J crystals

ftp out the ltools.log file in the game save dir and have a look at it. Maybe that tells you where the installer fails. Could be it's not the update.xbe that is causing problems...

You're welcome. Was just a hunch I had that the "y + Enter" sequence was being transferred incorrectly. The terminal emulation of you telnet client must have been wrong. Maybe it could be fixed by setting the TERM environment variable. Never mind though. As I figured a different client solved the problem

Did you log in to the telnet server with :

Try :

instead.
@ spagnot
Do you have the Xcalibur video chip (v1.6 xbox) ?
The linux kernel only supports this video chip with composite cables - no other video cables currently work.

@sommerchris
I ran into the same problem. You need to make sure you have the latest 5960 dashboard. Even if it is reported as 5960 by the Dashboard itself, I think it may not have the latest update (the one made to counter de DD exploit, I believe). If you update your dashboard before installing ldot's package, everything should work. To update, you can use Live!, if you have it, or Slayer's 2.6 (make sure its 2.6, not 2.5).
This has worked for me on a 1.1, a 1.5 and a 1.6 Xbox.

The Splinter Cell exploit boots just fine, and I can get to the ltools menu, and that works like it's supposed to. Problem is, after I pick all the installer options, Linux comes up...and then apparently crashes. The LED goes ambre, the drive gets really loud, then the light flashes and the console shuts off.
It's a pre-5000 series kernel (not sure the exact version number) with a 5960 dashboard. Using the UDE1/UDE2 exploit package with Splinter Cell and MXM. Any help is appreciated.

Assuming you can, and have, backed up c:, do this and I think you'll be fine:
1. Double check you have a backup of c:
2. Located and extract the Slayer's iso. You'll need Qwix to do this. You can get the Slayer's iso in the ussual places, Qwix by google.
3. Go to the extracted iso and get the c: drive. I think you can FTP in and replace your c: with the Slayer's version.
4. Try the hack again.
I have not personaly done it this way, but others havereported success with this method.
good luck!

But is there any way I can run Linux? I am, of course, using UDE2, 1.6 xbox, and PBL Metoo/M8. I want to use a livecd distro since I am stuck with the default 8gb harddrive, which I use for games.
So far I have tried Gentoox Livecd ( http://www.xbox-linux.org/Download , first option) and Xebian but both turn my LED orange and display a garbled screen. I doubt it makes a difference, but I have running the distros from the harddrive to avoid burning problems and for the sake of speed.
edit: Do I need to get a Cromwell BIOS? I'm thinking that I don't since I have M8, which is linux, and then some (playing hacked xbes and stuff
)
Post by: Aquilon on September 13, 2004, 05:17:00 AM
So long as you have the very latest dash (the best way is to update it through Live! before installing UDE), you can go on Live! if you boot with an original game. I would recommend configuring your hacked bios to display a different LED color when UDE is active so you don't go on Live! with it by mistake.
I've never uninstalled UDE, so I can't help you there, but I suppose all the files it leaves behind are on E:\ (the backup of c:\, most likely, the savegame package itself and whatever else that isn't either "cache", "udata" or "tdata")

This is my first attempt at any type of xbox mod so please be gentle.
I have read through all 60-something pages of this thread to make sure I didn't miss anything...
I installed the package flawlessly on my friend's xbox sunday night without any problems whatsoever.
I wasn't going to install it on my personal console because I didn't want to lose my xbox live functionality (which doesn't seem it will be a problem) so I decided to install it last night.
I'm at work now so I don't have any further info on dash/kernel but will supply if needed as soon as possible.
I'm using the most current version (1.75) of ltools along with MA and a memory card to install.
Everything seemed to install fine and the console will boot up to the Evox dashboard.
Upon selecting "Launch DVD" though with a backed up game nothing happens.
I can select every other option (menu, settings, etc) fine but I am unable to launch any dvds.
I tried different backups with different games and even different brands of dvds to ensure that wasn't the issue.
I also uninstalled/reinstalled several times trying different combinations and that didn't even work.
I even tried using ltools version 1.7 and the same thing occurs!
I've spent so much time trying everything I could think of and researching this thread but I'm still no closer to solving this mystery.
I'm hoping someone could guide me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance guys for all your help!!!
PS. I'm confused about the xbox live functionality.
Does the UDE have to be uninstalled prior to logging onto LIVE or can it be left as is as long as I sign into xbox live through a retail game and not the MS dash?
Post by: xavierofsparta on September 14, 2004, 02:49:00 PM
i have just recenltly bought my xbox so its kernel is high, specifically 5838. the dash is 5659
someone mentioned i needed to downgrade my dashboard but i am unsure on how to do it. i would search this forum for the answer but as ou can tell this thread is huge.
so could someone explain it again. also if i need to get certain file to do this process, please point me in the right direction.

Try "MS Dashboard"
You could also configure your Evox settings (in the settings menu) to "Autolaunch games", that way, as soon as you insert a game, it launches just like it would with the retail dash and an original game.

igot the itool pack to xabox, went into ma, chose "run linux", then goes to a screen with scrolling letter as it is say "loading bios'" or something like that, then to another screen that seemed a bit buggy t first then kicks out to the problem and comes up with two choices or me Run Mech Assualt and Run Mech Assualt. odd huh. well when i choose one of these i go to the 21 error screen.

You most likely have a samsung drive. There is a pinned topic somewhere to help you identify it. As far as I know, all samsung fail to read DVD+R. DVD-R are usually fine, though. I've tried Memorex, TDK, all kinds of generic brands... they all work, so long as they're -R.
On another note, you're mixing up kernel version and dash version. It's not much of a problem, but it might make some tutorials harder to understand than they need to be.

I have seen both thomson and philips that didn't read certain types of +r media. Also I have seen samsungs that did read certain +r brands. it's not certain at all which drive he has. The most accepted dvd type for the xbox is the -r standard however. I always use mediacode ritek g04 which work flawlessly on any xbox drive.
Also what's with the dash and kernel numbers?

the part of the shadow memory that was having the clash is moved to a very save place so further problems should be eliminated.

The MXM scripts of the installer is just a front-end to the linux scripts that do the actual installing. You would have to know how to edit the linux initial RAM disk (initrd) and change the linux scripts to accomplish your goal. I would say it's a lot easier to just burn a CD-RW with dvd2xbox as the defaul.xbe and pack it with your favorite dashes and apps. Once UDE is installed you just upload your apps and replace E:\Dashboard with whatever dash you prefer.
Post by: mkjones on September 30, 2004, 04:17:00 AM
BIOS loaders always win out for me, the only pain is when certain games dont run esp when they are on my HD it does my nut and upgrading BIOSs is a bicth for some users, if they dont have FTP access etc ldots as for adding more things, I managed to get UX, MXM, Evox onto a memory card with my old package, however Ava was huge back then at around 5mb, its smaller now but still too large I think?
You could implement a system like mine where you have an empty folder called "mydash" somewhere, then have a BIOS that points to the "default.xbe" inside that folder and code it so users can "switch" the dash they upload to that folder.

But you dont have to fit a mini-linux distro on there also
Believe me. With MXM, Evox and a mini-linux there is no space left.
As I said i did however plan to do something like what you suggest. However some people seem to not like to have to ftp to the xbox or upload stuff from a CD/DVD via dvd2box or similar, and therefore my plan was to make a second game save extension pack with as many dashes as I can fit on 8 MB. The user could then upload this from the MS dash and then the ltools menu will see the extension pack and offer the full set of dashboards.

Just replace the contents of E:\BiosLD with whatever bios loader you wish. Should be renamed to default.xbe and be habibi signed. The bios you supply must of course be BFM and named as specified in the config-file of the bios loader in question.
@ mkjones
Unless a DVD based exploit is found then this still requires the user to have some exploit on the box. Still a CD/DVD could be useful for an extension package.
@ phrozenfeonix
I expect that you dont have the latest version of ltools. Previous UDE2 enabled versions had a bug in the v1.6 eeprom decryption. Try version 1.7.5
If it's a v1.6 UDE1 will not work since the kernel will reject the exploitable xbe used (based on the time stamp).

Yeh I know
the idea I had was kinda like what the Linux guys did with Mechinstaller.You know, gamesave > exploit > CD and that was it
Would work, but I wanted to put too many features onto the thing (like M$ dashboards, restore options etc) so development would be massive and I dont have the time to bother
Also, getting the thing out to the public would be a pain as it would have to have certain questionable files on that cannot be distributed

put the right fonts into place
put habibi signed default.xbe (recomended pbl metoo/m8 version 1.12) along with it's other files on e:
put a dashboard on c: named as evoxdash.xbe

Ltools installs the bios loader to E:\BiosLD\default.xbe and the dash to e:\Dashboard\default.xbe
Slayers doesn't in stall a bios loader, and puts evox on c:\ as evoxdash.xbe, usually.
These don't play well together. Get the UDE on, then install your own apps.

Thanks to everyone thus far for your help, I appreciate it.
I used Slayer's to format the HD. I put my Matrix chip in another box along with a brand new HD and went from there. I will wipe out and start clean without Slayer's and begin fresh. I'll rename the update.xbe and place in C:\ and hope that something from Slayer's was causing the issue.
I will keep everyone posted and hopefully have some tips on how to remedy for others with the same problem.

D: 5960
v1.1 Xbox
Following step by step with results...
1. 80 gig HD, brand new, built for retail. Matrix chip in with X2 4981 on it in Mode4
2. Downloaded "ltools_v1.7.5_SC_NTSC.rar". Unzipped part1.zip and part2.zip.
3. Using an Evox boot disc, transferred (via FTP) the contents of both part#.zip files to their respective UDATA folders "21585554" and "5553000c"
4. Use boXplorer to navigate to and launch install.xbe in "21585554"
5. UDE Install
6. Select UDE 1
7. Select PBL 1.4.1
8. Select Evox
9. Everything runs, back up is made, until it says it's done, safe to turn off Xbox/green light blinking.
10. Reboot. Boots to Evox.
And, wait, what the hell. Boots to black screen (with some Linux commands flying by, then boots to Evox. What the hell, chip is still in, have never seen this. It usually booted from bios on modchip then to Evox.
Damn, just pulled chip out, boots with Green flubber then back to Customer Support screen.
Put chip back in, colormod on bios on modchip shows up, goes to Linux screen, then goes to Evox. Reboot, open tray, boots to Idot's Installer.
I'm stumped. Seems to work fine with chip in, but not with chip out. Problem with 80 gig HD? Am I missed a step like unlocking it, locking it, changing keys, etc.?
ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. (Yes this was done in real time)

Anyways, I had originally installed UDE1 and it worked perfectly but then i selected the Restore C option after uninstalling the exploit so I could play on XBL and it deleted the original MS Dash.
I finally have the Dash back but when I try to install UDE1 it says that Evox.tgz is missing from the game saves dir???
Where can I get this file and where on the Xbox HDD does it go...sorry if this is not allowed.
Many thanks for any help
Post by: ldots on October 08, 2004, 09:04:00 AM
If the installer worked previously then you must have messed with the package. Evox.tgz is simply not in E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxxxx\files anymore.
Why not just re-upload the package.
BTW. Restore C should not be nessecary for switching off UDE ???
@ brocklee
The dashversion is just fine. The installer is missing some other files. Get the ltools.log file from the game save dir that holds the package and post the last lines from it (if you dont find the answer yourself).

Thanks for the reply ldots.
Is the Evox.tgz the file where the Skin etc are stored for Evox?? Because I had extracted the contents and changed the skin and recompressed it using Winrar but I named it Evox.zip???
Could that be the problem?

Just follow the directions. As soon as you make your selections as to what bios, bios loader and dash to install, everything will install automatically. When the green light is flashing you can shut off your xbox.
What's your kernal/dash?

A v1.8 release candidate should be available the usual places for MechAssault. If you have a working UDE installation I would wait with updating until this has been tested further.
I encourage anyone with a "recover" strategy to take this pre-lease for a "test-drive" and report any bugs you might find. The sooner these a fixed, the sooner the v1.8 will be leased for SC and 007 as well. A good recover strategy would be to not unplug the xbox while testing, and to have a second game save hack available (on a memcard or for example by also having the SC game save hack on the xbox, if you have SC!).
Updates (probably an incomplete list) :
- UDE1/2 has been stripped. Only UXE is installed now.
- Generic or Kernel specific fonts can be used. Generic fonts can come in handy if the kernel version detection fails, or if a future unsupported kernel is released. To help the installer run the first installation from a retail kernel (or at least not from a Evox kernel).
- PBL Metoo + M8 bios has been updated to the latest, more backup compatible version.
- nkpatcher is always run before the ltools menu to allow people to run unsigned code form the ltools menu.
- User has the option to not enable the dualboot feature.
- What I think is a complete set of update.xbe -> UXE patches for dashboard 4920 and up.
- Smaller size. Should allow people to add an update.xbe if needed (in the future?).
- A seperate dashboard package that can be uploaded as a save game allows the user to choose from MXM, Evox, Avalaunch or UnleashX as the default dash. (this package is also available the usual places as ltools_dashes.zip). If this is not installed, only MXM is available.
- For the SC and MA versions the EEE can be set up automatically. The EEE is used together with the HDD based SC and MA save game hacks and the installer will rip the nessecary files from the game DVD and do the nessecary patching so that no files need to be added by the user. The EEE can be installed instead of the UXE or used as an on/off switch for UXE.
- After completing the "setup questions", a configuration file is generated. On future re-installation this is picked up be the installer and the setup can optionally be skipped.
- The mini-linux get the same IP number as specified in the MXM configuration file in the game save dir. (mxm.xml).
- More checks are performed to validate the install.
- Plus a number of smaller cosmetic additions and fixes...
NOTE : The EEE uses the HDD flagged game engines to access the MA or SC game save exploits from where ltools can be run. In the MA version the game save hack is slightly different from when the DVD based MA game save hack is used. Therefore while EEE is enable with the MA ltools package, the game save hack will not work from DVD until EEE has been disabled again.
As always, you dont have to uninstall a previous version to upgrade to v1.8. Just boot to the ltools menu. Ftp to the xbox and remove the old ltools pakage (Delete E:\UDATA\4d530017 for MechAssault). Then shutdown the xbox and reboot with the eject button and enter the UXE menu to (re)-install UXE. This will not conflict with previous UDE installation.

You are the man!!!!!!!!!
OK i am gonna update once this has been tested. i am gonna do it the way you suggested and simply replace the ltools dir without uninstalling. Then install UXE
If you remember you helped me manually update the dash a few weeks ago and then reinstall UDE using ltools. If i ever choose to uninstall in the future (i doubt i ever will though man) will uninstalling cause me problems? i ask this because i replaced the MS dash files manually then reinstalled, (i put the two folders on, i had to manually add the msdash file and hex it though), but left the xboxdash.xbe and other C drive files because of ltools using them for UDE.
Now because the xboxdash.xbe (the UDE update.xbe not the MS dash) was left as the 4920 one and the rest of the dash was updated, is uninstalling gonna rename that back to what it was and give me a 5960 dash with a 4920 update.xbe and give me a dodgy dash?
I tried to explain that as clearly as i could, if its not then sorry.

Uninstalling when you did some upgrading yourself could give a faulty C:
But as I said you dont have to uninstall to upgrade to ltools 1.8. If you want to boot to an unmodded state I would just use the "c-restore" option of your current ltools installation. Unless you messed with the compressed image created on the initial install this should bring your C: to what it was inititally. Then you could update your dash on Live if thats what you want.
Scaramanga
Nope, wouldn't work that easily. Almost though.
But there is an UDE package for xboxhdm that should work, and soon this will be upgraded to match the Memcard UXE package.
Post by: adeingolf on October 12, 2004, 12:41:00 PM
After spending 2 days getting the UDE2 to work in a new Crystal 1.6 Pal xbox I had exactly the same thing happen with the UXE.
Having installed it every which way, I could either get the xbox to boot to the m$ dash only and it appeared after ftp'ing that nothing had been copied over to the c: drive. OR it would copy files over, still report success BUT the xbox would frag on boot up.
Nearly giving up, I tried again but ensuring I used "shutdown" at the end of the telnet session.
Trying this 3 times, it reported that device e was busy and it didnt appear to do anything, however on turning off and rebooting the xbox, everything seems fine. Remebering my UDE2 install it was exactly the same!
Either the new 1.6 crystals are huanted or ive been extremely lucky on both ocassions!????
Post by: total_ass on October 12, 2004, 01:30:00 PM
if 'install' is chosen, does it start the installation from scratch or does it keep the files that are already in place? if it starts from scratch then i'm pretty sure it's a clean installation that is the same as if i uninstalled then updated.

Do you still have the modified save on your Xbox HDD?? If you do then load it up using either Mech Assault, Splinter Cell or 007 AUF and then just FTP into your xbox and delete everything in your C folder and replace it with a fresh version - You can download it at the usual places

thanks ldots I just tried your new installer (1.8RC1) and it works well on a 5713 box
However the EEE installation did not work
I received an error message and the patch was not applied
I beleive it's an error related to bspatch or bunzip2...
however if I apply the patch manually (on my computer) and put the default_hdd.xbe in e:\ltools\ma the installation continue
everything seems OK but when I do the EEE audio trick my xbox freeze on a xbox logo... But I am only using a 5101 BFM bios which may be incompatible...
It would be also a lot safer to use SC for the EEE to have a separated gamesave folder

Question if I may...
I installed version 1.75 last month and life's been great so far. In order to play on LIVE I uninstall the softmod, play LIVE & reinstall softmod when I'm finished.
I came across this post on a different forum and was wondering if it was valid or not:
"To let you know, the UDE softmod will only load a different BIOS when a game disc isn't inserted in the console. So, if I start the Xbox with an original title in the drive, it uses the retail BIOS, so Live! can be used without difficulty."
Are they saying as long as you boot up with an original game you can access LIVE without being banned or uninstalling the softmod?
I don't think it's true but was just wondering if anyone can confirm this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response krayzie.
So it now seems that even uninstalling the UDE is not enough and to be totally LIVE "safe" we should also delete the game save and anything else that was installed (I'm at work now without access to my xbox so I can't post for sure the other items that show up on the hard drive) by the softmod.
Does that sound correct?

no if you read the topic you will notice that there is NO reason for the ban yet. The things I mentioned were just asumtpions. I would just stay away from live disconnecting your network cable even when playing games since the ban also happens from game calls to the live network without actually logging in. Untill a reason is found extra precaution is recomendable.

I've just double checked this and I can't get default.xbe to run on a chipped xbox, is this normal?

I was looking at it and I noticed it says up higher on the screen that: Mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part55 on /mnt/F failed: No such file or directory
(cut off I can't read it)smod: /lib/modules/2.4.26: No such file or directory
What could be the problem? I don't want to turn the power off, but I know I'm going to have to, and the LED is orange still. You don't have to have a modchip to do this right? This is a softmod isn't it?
PLEASE HELP!!!

What did I do wrong that is causing the xbox to crash? From what I have read UDE should load without a problem once I get to this point?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Installed UDE2 using Ltools Xboxhd 1.9 on a friends box last nite.
Upgraded to a 160Gb HD.
All seems ok, except he can't play most of the new games that are out via the hard drive.
What do I need to do or change to get newer games to run off the hard drive???
Using PBLMetoo and M8 bios, and loading EvoX as default dash.
thanks for the help,

The savegame exploit loads fine, but everything that relies on linux (install ude, backup, mini linux) dies on me. It displays the first few lines of the linux booting sequence, then dies, corrupting the display. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone confirm that this will be resolved with UXBE, or is there something else going on here? |
The eXcalibur video chip in Xbox version 1.6's is not compatible with the linux distro that the tools run on so it displays garbage on the screen.. but the operations will still do their job.

| Just installed 1.8 using SC. If ppl cant wait for the proper release then it's fairly simple to edit the files to work with SC. Take a look at SC 1.7.5 and you'll figure it out. The linux file paths for where the save game is must be built in but if you use telnet it will tell you the folders it's looking for so just ftp another copy of 1.8 to that folder. It's a bit rough but as I said, it can be done if peeps cant wait. |
Haven't tested it though.

But its not very easy to find on the ftp though,
look in \xbox\operative systems\linux\distributions\ltools
the placing could have been a little better..
I think ltools is mostly there for the exploit, and not for running
mini-linuxes, but hey, who am I to decide?
Post by: zigford on October 24, 2004, 03:59:00 PM
As for getting 1.8 to work for SC. Here is what I have done far.
Step 1. Begin with an SC gamesave (it comes in two parts) e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\
should have a saveimage and a savemeta in here.
Step 2. Hex edit a copy of nkpatcher6 to instead of pointing to the MA save
e:\UDATA\4d530017\62D648EBF155\ltools.xbe
point it to e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\ltools.xbe
Step 3. Sign the nkpatcher Habibi and place it in e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\
Then rename it to install.xbe (This is what the SC gamesave runs)
Step 4. Copy all the MA Gamesave files into the SC Gamesave dir
Step 5. Now you need to edit mxm.xml and do a Find and Replace every e:\UDATA\4d530017\62D648EBF155
with e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000
Step 6. Also Find and replace
game=MA
with
game=SC
Step 6. replace the file e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\linux\initrc
with my modified version
Step 7. Just remembered that there is a file called something like "e:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\linux\somefile.cfg"
Edit this file and change "game=MA" to "game=SC"
All respect to ldots. This is just a temp solution for Splinter Cell users until the official release. All I did in the initrc was reactivate the code that detects which gamesave dir you are working from so that there is no need to have an MechAssault gamesave on your memcard at the same time.
Once you have done this copy the gamesave back to your memcard and it should work. It worked for me anyway. If it doesn't then sorry.

I just got the ldots UXE installer R1.8 to work from a single Splinter Cell Gamesave hack.
I had to recreate ldots initrd, modify his applications to point to the SC dir and it worked first time.
All respect to ldots for his creation...this is just a temp solution till ldots releases his SC version of 1.8.
If anybody wants my updated ltools that works with SC I could probably post it somewhere or email it or something.
Updated Original Post
Read the original post and copy my initrd file over top, copy to memcard and bingo was his namo

you should have an original SC-disc which you can use for
backup if you screw anything up... ;-) in ltools you can always
restore the C-drive as it was BEFORE installing the ude/uxe exploit!
As a safety precaution you should also install ltools using SC,
not some file explorer, this helps make sure you've put the save
files inthe correct folder!

Well they have Samsung drives..
I have an 1.0 and a 1.6 here, with both samsung drives.
The 1.0 can play the games from the drive, the same games that don't work in 1.6 drives..
(an friend of mine has also an 1.6 with the same problem..)
So I think the brand of my media is ok, because the 1.0 can read them..

This is what happened to me when using Xboxhdm 1.9 with upgrading new hard drive on my Xbox with ltools 1.7.5 exploit. In Xboxhdm I performed the menu option that allowed you to transfer/rebuild my old c AND e drive contents (from the Xboxhdm bootable cdrom) to the new hard drive. After connecting the new hard drive to the Xbox I could seem to do everything as normal as far as getting the various dashboards to run and playing movies via xbmc. Then I went through the process of transferring all of my Xbox games over to the new f:\games drive. After transferring 25 games I could only get a couple of them to load from the hard drive. I could not get the games to load from f:\games nor e:\games which they ran from before just fine with the old hard drive. I knew something up so I went on the Xbox-Scene forums and searched for anyone having the similar problem after installing a new drive and not getting games to run. I found one post where someone was asking this very question and the response that he was given fixed the problem for him. That response was if you ever run into games not being able to run off the hard drive, go ahead and delete your cache folder contents on any partition (as that folder could be on multiple partitions). The only cache folder I had was on E:\cache. After deleting the contents of that folder I could run any games I wanted off the hard drive.
Without these forums I'd never have figured that one out! I have a feeling the reason that this happens is that when you transfer/rebuild the old e: drive via the Xboxhdm cd to your new hd it also transfers your old cache folder contents and those few files either become corrupt/are read only or have some sort of invalid content inside to work on the NEW hard drive. Someone else may know better but that was the only thing I could think of that would have solved my games not loading.

UXE will work, but not perfectly, it will be a tad harder than usual
to install, as the Linux Graphics driver ain't working on 1.6 boxes as
far as i know.. so you won't be able to see any errormessages!
But fear not, It will most likely work ..
.. just let it stay onfor a while (30mins to make sure) so that you wont interrupt it
in the middle of the install, that would be very bad
good luck to ya!

This save fits on a 502 block mem card. If it doesn't fit a fter an installation, it's because some files were extracted. Re-upload a fresh copy of the save, and put it on the card before it's ever run.

And you should read the thread you are posting in, atleast read the Root message!
from 1st message by ldots:
No dashboard downgrade nessecary. From v1.7 it will even work as it is without adding any additional files.
From version 1.7 the installer will try to generate the exploitable update.xbe file itself from an update.xbe found on the harddrive or in the package. For UDE1 it will generate the 4920 update.xbe. For UDE2 it will generate the NFL Fever 2003 update.xbe. Currently this should work automatically if you have dashboard 4920, 5659 or 5960 installed.
If you dont have one of these dashboard versions you dont nessecarely have to downgrade you dashboard. You can add either the exploitable 4920 update.xbe (UDE1) or NFL update.xbe (UDE2) or one of the update.xbe's from the dashboard versions above, directly to the memcard package or ftp it to the game save dir after you have ftp access. More on this :
If you choose to add the update.xbe to the memcard package you need to compress it with zip to save space.(UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\update.xbe.zip). After adding this file rezip the UDATA folder to make it Action Replay software compatible.
Alternatively install the package as it is and ftp the update.xbe to the xbox (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\) once you run the package and thereby has ftp-access.
If the update.xbe that is added is not the correct version the installer will abort to prevent faulty install.

I have a 1.6 crystal xbox and only own splinter cell.

I used the splintercell hack to get EVOX up so I could FTP in. I downloaded Ltools 1.8 MA and 1.75 splintercell.
I copied the files from the 1.8 version over the files in the 1.75 SC files and renamed Ltools.xbe to install.xbe.
I then FTPd the newly created files in the 1.75SC directory over to the UDATA on the xbox. I also copied the unmodified files from the 1.8 MA Ltools version into the UDATA folder.
I then did the SC exploit which loaded up MXM. I then clicked install UXE. The screen went a horrid colour due to the focus video chip. I left it 15 mintues, reset and bang worked 1st time.

From version 1.7 the installer will try to generate the exploitable update.xbe file itself from an update.xbe found on the harddrive or in the package. For UDE1 it will generate the 4920 update.xbe. For UDE2 it will generate the NFL Fever 2003 update.xbe. Currently this should work automatically if you have dashboard 4920, 5659 or 5960 installed. If you dont have one of these dashboard versions you dont nessecarely have to downgrade you dashboard. You can add either the exploitable 4920 update.xbe (UDE1) or NFL update.xbe (UDE2) or one of the update.xbe's from the dashboard versions above, directly to the memcard package or ftp it to the game save dir after you have ftp access. More on this : If you choose to add the update.xbe to the memcard package you need to compress it with zip to save space.(UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\update.xbe.zip). After adding this file rezip the UDATA folder to make it Action Replay software compatible. Alternatively install the package as it is and ftp the update.xbe to the xbox (E:\UDATA\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\files\) once you run the package and thereby has ftp-access. If the update.xbe that is added is not the correct version the installer will abort to prevent faulty install. |
I did read this whole section repeatly to my sock-offs. I have the very old dash D: 4039/K:4039.
Install UDE1 give me standard error with "Cannot find update.xbe......" [search on this u will find alots of ppl get the same problem]. To solve this ppl suggest either run live-enable game to upgrade my dash or get it from Slayer. I choose the latter.
It maybe important to have update.xbe, since I have not read all other scripts or source code. But WTF, if you can generate one, why ask for one.

I look at the script again, and I think the exec install step would probably unzip the update.xbe.zip to current folder (and hopefully it is 4920).
Anyway. I will go ahead and install today. My Dash is very old (D: 4039 and K: 4039). Hopefully it will work.

qucksilv, why not just try rebuilding the archives the way you want them? Command line utils are simple and easy to find.. Regarding XBL safety, atm many ppl are mysteriously getting banned.. And as of recently, it is necessary to replace your XBL acct and hdd as well as your eeprom to get/stay unbanned..

Here's the deal...I softmoded my v1.3 with ltools 1.7.5. UDE2 and PBL. Everything worked fine...I could FTP in to my drive and it would load original games. I then used xboxhd to format and copy to new 120GB and locked her up and plugged her in...seems to work exept it will not read originals(that's all I had to try) in the DVD drive. Works fines on the 8 but no luck on the 120. I heard there may be a problems with power draws from new drives so I connected the 120 to my PC power supply to test. still no good. I also tried copying the original 8 gig files over my ftp but still no deal. Last I tried cloning the drive with xboxhd...but still with no luck.
The drive is a 8meg 12-FB seagate drive that is lockable.
Please please please...some tell me what to do. Is there a new hard drive driver I need to use. Should I be using x-disk or a different dash? UXE make a different.

have you tried uninstalling UDE, see if you can get to the MS dashboard? although then you risk not being able to boot at all. just make sure you have the save game hack on your mem card.

First off, thank you ldots. I just used 1.8 to upgrade from my aging Mordens hack and everything is working great.
The only thing that coulld make this even more perfect is the IGR found on the new nkpatcher 7. Unfortunatly, I am an idiot and can not figure out how to "compile" the nkpatcher code. Would some kind soul possibly provide a compiled version, ready to be thrown into place after a person installs 1.8. Or... could someone just point me in the direction of a really good tutorial and I'll do it myself.
Many thanks to ldots and to whomever can help me get nkpatcher 7 working.

Wont start? Do you get a dirty disc error message or something when trying??
Listen to your DVD-drive when inserting the game, does it sound like its having trouble reading the media? if so, you should try some other media .. try a rewritable disc of some sort!

I have also tried to gain ftp access by using a game save hack. I get evox running fine but I cannot ftp into it. Do I need to install evox, or should I be able to gain ftp access from here?
can someone walk me through the best way into getting the Itools package installed.

Kay so I install using UDE2, and it says it installs fine, you know backs up the C drive, etc. but once it tells me I can reboot as it's installed everything fine, I get error 21, right off the hop. doesn't mater how the machine is powered on. I can boot off of the the Mech assult disk no prob, and can restore C to get it working again. so that's a relief. I haven't tried the 1.8 ltools yet, could this fix it?
I'm positive the box is not a 1.6 box, as it was purchased last christmas. but regardless I've tried all combinations of bioses, UDEs, dashes, etc.
I've also searched most of the board on this problem, but haven't found anything if I've missed please just point me where.
Thanks for any help.
Update, I 'm using UDE1 but it's complaining that the dashboard I've got 5960, it says it isn't a correct md5sum. Can I downgrade my dash? if so how?

1) How can I fix this?
2) Where can I get the correct update?
I get this message on both of my boxes... and on one of them, when i boot using the open tray i get a number 13 error?!?!?! Even after i try to a C Restore from the Ltools menu?

2) Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties
3) Select "Use following IP address" and enter:

SUB: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
4) Press OK
5) Connect the crossover network cable to your PC and Xbox
6) Boot up your Xbox and check the IP settings. Your IP should be fixed and use the following data:
IP: 192.168.1.5
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
7) Save the settings (scroll down to the bottom) and reboot the Xbox. Leave it sitting on the EvoX main screen once it has rebooted.
8) Load up your FTP software on the PC (I recommend FlashFXP) and enter the same details that you used on the Xbox into the connect screen.

Did you also copy the default.xbe and boot.cfg files that came with the metoo package to the BiosLD folder on your Xbox? You need to update all three files to keep things in sync.
I recently updated to PBL-METOO 1.41 for compatiblity with Crimson Skies and everything seems to be working.

with all the backup and saftey features it's hard to screw it up!
finally got to mod my friends v1.6. i used mini-linux w/ telnet and it worked like a charm!
great installer!
thanx alot
Post by: pgibbons on November 27, 2004, 12:22:00 PM
Thanks for the help. I actually just downloaded the m8plus_16 bios by itself and not the newer pbl_metoo 1.4.1 package. Did you use the Metoo-M8plus_16-06.bin or the Metoo-M8plus_16-06-EF.bin? Why would a person want to use the non-eject fix version?
Thanks for the help!
Post by: nfidel on November 28, 2004, 11:20:00 AM
Sorry, I don't know what is entailed with the eject-fix version and what the tradeoffs are. I went with the non-fix and so far it seems quite robust. Let me know if it works for you.
Post by: pgibbons on November 28, 2004, 07:01:00 PM
I used the eject-fix and it's working fine for me. I guess I'll do more searching for what the differences are. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction to use the pbl-metoo 1.4.1 package!

I write only to remind the community about the needs of people upgrading their Xbox hard disk, in order to suggest the next package to be ready to support them.
If I am right, the latest packages use the Evox M8 without the huge hard disk patch. I unluckily realised it only recently, when I tried to put a ldot's xboxhd-prepared 200 Gb on a new 1.6 Xbox (with the obligatory M8) and saw that several games simply do not work from the huge F: partition.
Hard disk costs are dropping as usual, and it is easier than ever having a >120 Gb hard disk in your Xbox, so I think it is not only an issue of mine. Please ldots provide the package with the support for the patched M8s.
In the meantime, I guess I need to find a solution myself. Is it enough to choose an adequate bios to put in E:\biosld, after having modified it with the correct executable startup sequence? Shall I provide extra info in boot.cfg? How do I understand if I have a 1.6 or a 1.6b (I seem to remember that it depended on the ram chipset).
Thank you for any advice,
Giacecco

If you used Xboxhdm to prepare your hard drive and games are not loading from the hard drive you probably just need to delete your hard drive "Cache" folders (or just the files inside). IE E:\cache. Try it.. the bios that comes in ltools 1.7.5 is LBA48 enabled for large hard drives. I believe if you are installing on a 1.6 Xbox that ltools 1.7.5 comes with the pblmetoo-m8 version 1.2 LBA48 and BFM enabled bios. You should be fine with that version.. If you want you can upgrade to the very latest pblmetoo-m8plus v1.4.1 bios easily. There is a short tutorial on upgrading your bios in a recent thread in this XBE forum. It basically involves downloading the bios pack from Xbins and editing the paths inside the bios to point to the correct dashboard folder and then FTPing in and overwriting the files in your BiosLD folder.

If needed I can go get a memcard, an exploitable game, or whatever...but I would like to know exactly what it is I need, or do not need before I go buy a useless $25 memcard when I have a HD in the Xbox..or even another game if I don't need it, when the whole point is to install a softmod to play copied games..

i think what you're probably referring to is ldots xboxhdm, theres a way w/ that program way to do the exploit w/o using a memcard, it uses your pc to recreat the hdd and you can put whatever you want as far as files go on it, or theres the hotswapping method but xboxhdm works better and is safer. the thread for that is in this forum

for the 1.6 from taiwan you cant use ltools as it is only compatible w/ 1.6's from NTSC region (america)
for your xbox you will have to use the UXE hack the tutorial for that can be found here

I can't give you proper instructions on installing the ltools, but I can tell you that from everything I've read the 06 is CHINA. You can still use the ltools and other exploits on that box. NTSC or PAL just means the box was designed for use in either US or Europe and has nothing to do with where the box was actually made.
My box is an 06, made in China, and is NTSC. Even if it was PAL there's a program to make a BIOS change so that you can use ltools. I believe all of this information is in the ldots post I put here a few pages back. If that doesn't help then use the search feature and look for "version 1.6 exploits softmod" or some keywords that will point you in the right direction. The only differences should be the BIOS you use for the 1.6 and you have to use PBL Meetoo or NKPatcher...That's also in the ldots ltool post at the start of this thread.
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes so that maybe it will help me when I do my 1.6 box.
Post by: Spaceboy727 on December 08, 2004, 05:49:00 AM
i think just installing UXE would be a lot easier and faster, and more efficient than messing w/ your bios just to be able to use ltools. UDE doesnt work w/ region 2 or 3 xboxs that are 1.6, so why not use the exploit that does? go to the UXE thread

Yeh same for me. Works fine though with UXE I noticed. I presume it has something to do with the default bios settings in the UDE exploit?

----> audio
----> f0nts
----> xboxdashdata.185ead00
----> xodash
----> xtf_backup
bert.xtf
dualboot.xbe
ernie.xtf
msdash.xbe
xbox book.bak
xbox.bak
xboxdash.bak
xboxdash.save
xboxdash.xbe
can someone confirm this for me please.
dan
EDIT: sorry i forgot to mention something. i upgraded my dash manually and forgot to update the backup file for xboxdash.bak to the latest. i noticed that the xboxdash.save is exactly the same size, what should i do about the save file, is it just another copy of xboxdash? (the original one)
Post by: anjilslaire on December 17, 2004, 02:27:00 PM
For extra dashes, put them in E:\apps\, like any other app, and select from the menu. Be sure to refersh the cache in mxm.
So, put them like this:
E:\apps\evox\default.xbe
and
E:\apps\ava\default.xbe.
Then you can launch them at will.

I have had my xbox softmodded with this package for about 4 months, but today I was checking all the files on my hard drive because the MS Dash button on the Unleash X dashboard wont work for me, while checking my c drive I found two ms dash files, one called "xboxdash.xbe" and "msdash.xbe" I tried to open de msdash and went to the MS dash, but after restarting my xbox I get the error 21 screen, I already tried to fix the problem with the eject button but the same screen appears.
I dont know what to do, anyway I try to boot my xbox the same error 21 screen shos up, I inserted my SC game to re-install UDE, but I found out that the linux profile has been deleted, and I cant acces the Game Saves Manager to "download" it from the memorycard.
this is getting me crazy, I need help please.
P.D. I have a version 1.0 xbox.

Some comments say that the installer wont work but I can telnet in and run the installer that way, others seem to say it won't work at all. Can anyone please advise, and if it doesn't work, can anyone tell me when the next version of ltools will be out?

One more day spent reading around.
Still some main point is unclear to me.
I have a virgin box. (5101, 4920, PAL, most likely 1.4)
I want to softmod it.
Thanks to brilliant brains here, I have plenty of ways to do it.
Let's say I don't want to buy one of those three games.
Nor I have a memory card.
However, I'm pretty good with PCs (any flavour).
Xboxhdm_v1.9 + UDE_v1.4, via hotswap, seem to play the trick (no memory card nor games are needed).
However here we discuss about UDE1/UDE2 installer/uninstaller and everybody agrees that this is a wonderful improvement. However, starting from a virgin box, it requires at least one of the three games.
Does it make sense to start the first mod using UDE_v1.4 and, after the box is modded, to upgrade to v1.7.5? Did I strongly misunderstood something?
Thanks

I beliefve that if you don't have a dash installed already you'll need one of the required games in order to trigger the installer. I may be wrong though... I personally just went to a second hand store and bought a memory card and a copy of Splinter Cell... you could even hire SC if you didn't want to buy it and didnt think you'd need to run it again

I think you guys are confused a little bit on what you need to do next.
If you have xboxhdm v1.9 and UDE v1.4 and burn the linux bootdisk with these tools on it you dont need any of the exploit games or gamesaves. With that disc you can hotswap your drive (it took me awhile to get it to work, but it does) and then boot the xboxhd and you can install ude package. WHen this is installed you have softmodded your box. The rest is just changing to the dash you want or whatever. AFter you have hotswapped and loaded ude via xboxhdm and you boot your xbox up with the softmod for the first time to ltools. Make sure the first thing you do is run the backup option in ltools. After that reboot xbox back to ltools and ftp into your box and retrieve your eeprom file. save your eeprom in a safe place and you should always be able to restore your xbox if u mess up.
Good luck

Hi, I got all of the ltools 1.75 files for mechassault on my v1.0 xbox, and got into the ltools menus. However, when I go to install the UDE (I'm trying to install UDE1), the display shuts off, the CD LED turns orange, and after maybe 5 seconds, the fan in the xbox kicks in to what sounds like 100% for about 2 seconds, and then the whole box shuts off.
Same thing happens if I run mini-Linux.
Any ideas? thanks all.

Hi, I got all of the ltools 1.75 files for mechassault on my v1.0 xbox, and got into the ltools menus. However, when I go to install the UDE (I'm trying to install UDE1), the display shuts off, the CD LED turns orange, and after maybe 5 seconds, the fan in the xbox kicks in to what sounds like 100% for about 2 seconds, and then the whole box shuts off.

Title: Memcard UDE1/UDE2 Installer/uninstaller
Post by: Ji!!i on December 31, 2004, 05:45:00 AM

I installed the package (via FTP over the previous UDE_1.4) using the "007 game" version.
It went fine, apart from this detail:
The menu of the Linux tool did not include "Boxplorer", which was however installed by the package.
I added it to menu.xml (it was already in in mxm.xml) and I also included it into my evox.ini, so that BoxPlorer is now available from my two Dashboards.
Problem is that if I run BoxPlorer from Linux Tools menu (booting the backdoor) I can't go back to it (I get Error 21).
It works fine if I run it from Evox (it gets back to it) or even if I boot Evox, then move to Linux Tools and from there I lunch BoxPlorer: it then goes back ... not to Linux (as I was expecting) but to Evox.
Any hints?
Cheers,

that is because when booting from the linux toolbox there is no bios loader active, so only habbibi signed applications, (in this case, boxplorer) are available via ltools. so when exiting boxplorer it tries to load evox, which is not habbibi signed. it works when loading it from evox because at this point a bios loader is active.

no, this is pointless as launching anything from evox would then have to be habbibi signed, so you may as well just reboot into a hacked bios/kernel patched environment

How do you FTP (with this gamesave)? I chose MXM as a dashboard and I have been messing around with my computer for the last 2 hours and I can't get it to find the Xbox. I have WS-FTP Pro also to let you know, but I will connect anyway possible to allow me to move files from my computer to the Xbox...

If I understand you correctly you have the standard Xbox Dash loading OK but the softmod doesn't load. If this is the case I think you need to copy the mechassault gamesave back onto your box via whatever method you did before and get into Run Unix. From there FTP in to remove the current C: and replace it with the backup one you had (if you were able to do so) and re-install the hack. You may need to set your IP settings for the box. To do this go into settings and change the IP to 192.168.0.3 subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and Gateway to 192.168.2.3 You should then be able to FTP in and do what you need to.

So let me get this right:
I have xbox v1.6 , I can use the 007 softmod using memcard trick to get in, I have ftp'd over some dashes already, I tried evox, but its a few months old, and something called Bert and Ernie (a buddy actually did this).
It will not boot correctly, I get that englishand japaese error screen with the flashing red light, but I can put 007 back in and it works, is there a specific version of Evox, or any dash for that matter, or do I need to look at something called UXE?
I have restored my original setup so box is back to normal.
I am half way there please help!!!

Just use the Ltools for ftp access. Get uxe complete .02.1 (or latest) and use that. It's by far an easy process, and gives you more control.
Be sure and run backup from your savegame and get your eeprom 1st, tho.

My xbox is an unknown version made between the making of 1.1's and 1.2 boxes. I have the rar of ldots_v1.7.5_SC_NTSC. I have the action replay. And a copy of splinter cell in hand.

could be the dvd media you are using.. xbox drives are picky....
as for the retail dvds... you cant read them unless you use :
- a dvd dongle (with remote)
- a dvd dongle SOFTWARE (geuX or others)
- XBMC (Xbox Media Center (no menus tho))
Although I usually don't care much for paying extras to get dvd playback I bought a 3rd party remote at 10$ and I find it makes my XBMC experiences FAR superior.. and would therefore encourrage you to buy a dvd playback dongle

He is able to get 1.6 to work on his box flawlessly after I talked him through it. His brother has a 1.6 box and would like to use the package but they can not get it to work on a box that they know is exploitable. He sais everything went fine from backup , install UXE, dual boot, pbl x2-4981, mxm, finished, safe to shut down, then reboots and he just gets the ms dashbord.
Is there something I'm missing with the new package?
I just grabbed the package and let him download it from my ftp server as is.
I didn't put an update.xbe in it as I thought it was not necessary now. What is different in the process than the older packages?
What is EEE, I don't think he selected to use it but still I'm not familiar with it?

I have been trying to talk my friend through installing 1.8 on his version 1.0 box as a test to b4 he installs it on a v1.6 box. He is able to get 1.6 to work on his box flawlessly after I talked him through it. His brother has a 1.6 box and would like to use the package but they can not get it to work on a box that they know is exploitable. He sais everything went fine from backup , install UXE, dual boot, pbl x2-4981, mxm, finished, safe to shut down, then reboots and he just gets the ms dashbord.

Yeh I'm in the same boat except I'm using a 1.1 Xbox. Ive got 4 different UXE packages here and all em' work except this one. I tried all the different bios's and whatnot and still it just booted me the MS dash. The only thing I think it does is backup your C drive to the E drive. Oh one of the bios's wouldnt even let me select it. The one you choose with thy Y button, cant rember which one it is off the top of my head. Kept pressing it and nothing would happen.

It was not installed right.. I just got it to work a few hours ago. When it didnt install correctly, it did the same thing. It should go straight to the new dash with disc drive closed. I believe I fixed it when I downgraded the dash and the update.xbe with slayers.

Question?
When running mxm mated with ltools I got mxm to produce a 300meg size file. Now just having a problem getting the file into a image file for shadowC.
I have tried several attempts within the ...hdm (linux) but with no luck.
I have the 1.4.1 metoo and the nkpatcher10 for the ltools package. Size of the package may be a problem so.... However, has anyone had a chance to mess with updates. Ldots we need you on this one! Cant wait to see what you can do within days as I have been scratching a hole in my head for weeks.

I used the ITools SC package and it's been "installing" for 12 hours...When do I give up and turn it off? From the other walkthroughs I've read it sounds like you should never ever turn it off untill is says it is safe to do so.
" DON'T TOUCH, REBOOT, OR POWER DOWN THE XBOX:
- The lights on the Xbox flash Orange and Green
- The TV Screen goes blank but the Xbox remains on.
- The text on the TV goes blurry
- Even if your Xbox does backflips!!"
Well it's been sitting there with a blank screen and a flashing green led all night. Time to reboot?
I have a v1.1 and a newer dashboard(auto downgraded by package. right?)
And picked UDE2, PBL-Metoo, Evox M8 bios, Evox.
Edit: ever mind I'm just a pussy. rebooted and everything is fine.

I have a 1.6 xbox with a bad eeprom. I read that it is possible to repair a bad eeprom with xtool if I flash my mod with cromwell and FTP my backed up eeprom to the xbox. I read that all I needed was to burn all the files in the UDE's linux folder to a cd with a dummy50mb file but when I try to boot to the CD I get.
"...ing linuxbootcfg from CD..."
"...from CD failed"
"...ck that linuxbootcfg exicts"
I have tried a samsung, phillips and even a PC DVD rom with CDR, CDRW, DVD+RW and all give me the same message. What am I doing wrong?
I know the DVD drives work cos I installed xebian on another drive and it is going fine.
Is there somewhere I can get the xtool to fix my eeprom from the xebian installation?

You could try a previous version, say 1.7. There may be an issue with 1.8 on your box or the download may have been corrupted. How did you copy the file onto the box? Some mem cards can corrupt the data on large save game files when copying across.

The easiest way to transfer is to get the Mega X-key, it is about $US40 from lik-sang
This includes a Xbox to USB cable, a specific USB memory stick and the software to install on PC to transfer files from PC to memory stick. You then plug it into the Xbox and copy over like you would a normal game save.
The package is called 'xboxhdm' for making a new HDD for the Xbox and UXE for the soft mod

I'm having a heck of a time getting 1.8 to work.
I have no clue what version Xbox I have.
My kernel version is: 4817
My dash version is: 4920
I originally softmodded my Xbox ages ago through a MA save.
The folder that contained all the stuff was labeled "Gouki-xbox modless archive" (Dunno if that'll help at all). This was like when the FreeEvox dealie just came out.
Anyways, I've never used Live but my xbox's /c/ does have /xodash and inside is update.xbe (1.83mb), xonlinedash.xbe (1.73mb) and then /media which has a bunch of stuff I'm not gonna list out.
Anyways, I added the update.xbe I have to the package that I uploaded via FTP (I have EvoX dash running currently) and I goto use LTools to install everything and it finds the update.xbe file but then it says something like files missing from game save folder, aborting, you may now exit.
I figured the update.xbe was the wrong version so I download Slayer's 2.6 and took the update.xbe from there and used that - same exact problem.
ALSO, when I goto backup my C drive - the Xbox freezes after acouple minutes and I'm forced to turn it off.
I wanna get this thing installed so I never have to worry about that damn clock loop again - HELP!

I have a v1.0 xbox running ltools through UDE1, and PBL Metoo. My main dash (closed tray) is "dualboot" UIX. Also, EvoXDash is available through the ltools Dashboards option (booted open tray). The problem I'm running into is that I cannot access the same programs through the different dashboards.
-for example-
dualboot
Apps
Game Backup boots
Halo Cache Editor boots
Web Browser boots
XBMC boots
Games
HaloNMP-boots
Dashboard
Emulators (all boot and so do the roms)
-however-
EvoXDash (options come up with different titles)
Apps
Game Backup error
Halo Cache Editor v0.7 error
LinkBoks error
Ltools boots
Mini-linux-boots
XBMC-error
Games
Halo error
*(cannot access emulators)
Do you have any ideas on how I could access all available apps/games through the different dashboards? I have FTP access, so that will make things easier. Thanks.

the reason of the errors 21 is cuz when you boot with tray open you don't launch a bios loader/kernel patcher and all apps you wanna load have to be signed habibi (as the preinstalled boxplorer).
I would recommend getting rid of the ltools install as it's heavily outdated and install my newest Ndure installer. It has the option to set an alternate dash on tray open boot in where you wouldn't have to sign every app/game you wanna load.

potter2010,
Ldots put this installer together and set the tone for softmod packages to come. However, he has been inactive for quite a long time now and since then there have been great advancements in the scene. Currently, the best package by far is Krayzie's Ndure Installer which works just like this bad boy but has so much more. Read about that here.
You can't get the files anywhere on this site, that's for sure. Go to the homepage then tuts/other guides/guide to using... and you'll find all the info you need on how and where to get files.

Download the package and transfer to your xbox either by a memory card, by ftp or by hotswapping. If you choose the hotswapping option have a look at xboxhdm.

The easiest way to transfer is to get the Mega X-key, it is about $US40 from lik-sang
This includes a Xbox to USB cable, a specific USB memory stick and the software to install on PC to transfer files from PC to memory stick. You then plug it into the Xbox and copy over like you would a normal game save.
The package is called 'xboxhdm' for making a new HDD for the Xbox and UXE for the soft mod

I have no clue what version Xbox I have.
My kernel version is: 4817
My dash version is: 4920
I originally softmodded my Xbox ages ago through a MA save.
The folder that contained all the stuff was labeled "Gouki-xbox modless archive" (Dunno if that'll help at all). This was like when the FreeEvox dealie just came out.
Anyways, I've never used Live but my xbox's /c/ does have /xodash and inside is update.xbe (1.83mb), xonlinedash.xbe (1.73mb) and then /media which has a bunch of stuff I'm not gonna list out.
Anyways, I added the update.xbe I have to the package that I uploaded via FTP (I have EvoX dash running currently) and I goto use LTools to install everything and it finds the update.xbe file but then it says something like files missing from game save folder, aborting, you may now exit.
I figured the update.xbe was the wrong version so I download Slayer's 2.6 and took the update.xbe from there and used that - same exact problem.
ALSO, when I goto backup my C drive - the Xbox freezes after acouple minutes and I'm forced to turn it off.
I wanna get this thing installed so I never have to worry about that damn clock loop again - HELP!

You may need to rebuild your drive using xboxhdm. (You can also increase the hard drive size.

Could somebody please tell me where to download this?

nope, and asking for files directly or indirectly is not allowed.

So how am I supposed to find it?
The information is all available on the main website. Just find the installer in the usual places. I have to ask, though, are you sure this is the installer you need? There's newer installers that you can use which have improved over UDE1 & 2 by a long way.

1.) When I installed this exploit (UDE), can I install Gentoox with the menu from UDE?
a) If not, is there another possibility to install Gentoox?
2.) Can I uninstall Gentoox that M$ don't note this when I use XBOX-Live?
Thanks for your help!

a. sure you can install any xbox linux. just go to the linux section of the forums
2. when you boot in retail mode (which is needed to go on live) they will not see the stuff on the hd
Post by: willjzuke on March 12, 2006, 10:25:00 PM
-for example-
dualboot
Apps
Game Backup boots
Halo Cache Editor boots
Web Browser boots
XBMC boots
Games
HaloNMP-boots
Dashboard
Emulators (all boot and so do the roms)
-however-
EvoXDash (options come up with different titles)
Apps
Game Backup error
Halo Cache Editor v0.7 error
LinkBoks error
Ltools boots
Mini-linux-boots
XBMC-error
Games
Halo error
*(cannot access emulators)
Do you have any ideas on how I could access all available apps/games through the different dashboards? I have FTP access, so that will make things easier. Thanks.

I would recommend getting rid of the ltools install as it's heavily outdated and install my newest Ndure installer. It has the option to set an alternate dash on tray open boot in where you wouldn't have to sign every app/game you wanna load.

Ldots put this installer together and set the tone for softmod packages to come. However, he has been inactive for quite a long time now and since then there have been great advancements in the scene. Currently, the best package by far is Krayzie's Ndure Installer which works just like this bad boy but has so much more. Read about that here.
You can't get the files anywhere on this site, that's for sure. Go to the homepage then tuts/other guides/guide to using... and you'll find all the info you need on how and where to get files.
The rest of the process in a nutshell: upgrade to 5960 dash/put Krayzie's on a memcard or ftp as a save/use one of the 3 specific game hacks/install your custom Ndure/enjoy! PM me for other questions, this forum is long enough as it is and I know how painful this can be as a n00b ha ha.
