I am working along side him to get this released as soon as possible. This exploit, like UDE will work on all region xboxs (including japan).

EDIT (by Pedro): If upgrading font exploits - make sure you remove any existing one first, then ensure the bert font is placed in the directory first, followed by the ernie font (this then forces the directory order).
EDIT (by Pedro):
"Don't fix wot ain't broke!"
If UDE1 is working for you - stay with it.
If UDE2 is installed and working on your US XBOX - stay with it.
If what you've got running works for you - there is no benefit in updating to UXE!
The primary audience for this new UXE is:
1. PAL/JAP K:5713+ XBOX owners (including those PAL/JAP UDE2 users who may now wish to restore their EEPROMs)
2. and for general use on all virgin XBOXs.
PS. Although the names UDE2.5 and UDE3 were considered - enough noobs have already got themselves into trouble upgrading
from UDE1 to UDE2. These names were felt to encourage this behaviour. Universal XBE Exploit may be a better expansion All XBOX versions, All regions! but "Über" sounded cooler

But the questions is simple;
>Do we want this program quick? yes, me too... I'm also exited as you all!...
>What is the biggest invest/christmas season trick of MS? Halo2 and Live V3...
>Has MS lauched HALO2 and Live 3 already? No, but within e very few weeks they lauched both worldwide...
>If we know the hack now before MS gets done, couln'd they patch their'r programs just quickly? YES, they sure can. They can even design to DELAY the lauching of Live 3 and Halo 2 for a few extra weeks. Christmas season is not yet started, and also the DVD presses and shippings of Halo 2 are NOT finalized and distributed yet.... But they are starting within 2-3 weeks from now with those. maybe sooner?!...
>As MS shipped lot's and lot's of HALO 2 versions to shops worldwide and launched directly WITH A NEW ONLINEDASH.XBE!!! for Live V3; can they patch/change this new hack easely? NO, WAY! they have a huge problem then, because they can't take all the games back and the hack should work for at least a few months....

As far as Live is concerned... MS can update Live when ever they want with as small an update they want. So it's not even an issue on whether or not to release the exploit. Suppose we wait, Live 3.0 launches, we launch exploit, Live 3.00.1 launches.
Anyone remember this: MS Dashboard Updated
"Today (5/18/04) we are pushing a small update to the Xbox Dashboard. This update addresses a couple of backend issues (that I can't outline for security reasons.) There are no new features or enhancements that members will see as a result of this update. This is a a VERY small update...so small that many folks won't notice, but I know this group will. Thanks."

I think I see where John is coming from - If UXE is delayed, HALO2 would already have been pressed (and purchased
) - with it's requirements frozen.Personally, I agree with Ethan, I don't think a delay would, in reality, limit any responses M$ has at its disposal. XBL games typically download updated game engines from XBL anyway - so if M$ wanted to up the requirements for HALO2 to XBL 3.00.1, they could still mandate this, and stream down a new HALO2 engine.

Read the reply of EthanHunt_IMF. I think hes right. If MS wants to kill such an exploit, it can be done by a minor Live update.

Of course, this assumes that this exploit is different enough from those available thus far that this actually makes a difference. I don't know that.
And BTW, though MS may recognize that exploiters are the smallest group in the Xbox mod-scene community, they probably recognize that they're the easiest to get rid of and patch up. I wouldn't put anything past them.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
if they do 'fix' it then i bet it would be a week or two and another exploit 'fix' would blow it out of the water.
if they were gonna use a game to eliminate exploits then i would have thought it would have been done by now.
Post by: Agent Orange on September 29, 2004, 10:30:00 AM
as for the people saying not to release it yet, take a chill pill. It takes weeks once they finish a game to actually produce the CD's, and distribute them.
Post by: retrohead on September 29, 2004, 10:09:00 AM
Not everyone uses xbox live so if i worked for M$ i would be looking for a Halo2 'fix' over a live 'fix'. 75% of people i know with an xbox dont even have an internet connection so this means:
(1) Live updates do not effect these people
(2) You will not get these peoples comments posted as they have no means of accessing xbox-scene.
That said i think the exploit should be released for bug testing so a world wide testing session could take place to test all models of xbox. This would take until Halo2 is released to check every eventuality anyway, surely?
I am sure that if Halo2 installs a new dash, the xbe could be edited to not install the dash or someone would get round it. There are some clever buggers out there you know
What would really fuck us up would be if Halo 2 works with a new dash ONLY, which of course is impossible as the disc would boot via the bios. Or is it? Could Halo2 check the dash files before it loads?
Who hates speculation?
Speculate to accumulate anyone? (in this case accumulating useless information)
Final Verdict: Good work, will save me installing FREEX to get config magic running for UDE. BETA Release it ASAP

Mmmm. I guess so. This would have meant upgrading the older MS dashes, which are usually there for a legitimate reason, rather than the normal UDE1/2 bootstraps which usually are there for... well... UDE1/2.
It is worth noting that MS have steadily ramped up their attempts to get rid of the exploits over time, as they have steadily improved. Audio exploit was removed at the first reason MS had a chance to upgrade the dashboard. They killed dash downgrading in the kernel in an attempt to kill the old font exploits on new 'boxes. They've attempted to kill the gamesave exploits by fixing the overflow on rereleases whether on DVD form or via Live! (see MechAssault).
Halo 2 is the only recent likely candidate if they were gonna do this. For forced dash upgrade fanciness like this it would have to be a MS published title.
That said, it is unlikely MS would do this.... but not impossible.

MS doesn't have to publish the title for it to force a dash upgrade or even a have a dash version check. Since all titles have to go through them for certification they could add this as a requirement for passing certification.

| I think the idea that this exploit should be delayed until after Halo 2 is well founded, particularly in light of the Star Wars disc incident. It's one thing for MS to update the dash via your online service whenever you try to log on to Xbox Live, but if they were to place an executable on the disc that automatically launches whenever you try to run the game and upgrades your dashboard to a non-exploitable version it would be quite a problem. The former scenario allows us to play Halo 2 in some fashion and retain our exploits, the latter doesn't. If they wanted to they could kill all the exploits available now with their most anticipated release on Nov 9. Shouldn't we keep something underneath our sleeves until then? Of course, this assumes that this exploit is different enough from those available thus far that this actually makes a difference. I don't know that.

That was just my opinion too!
This few weeks from now make no differance at all.
And YES, I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT MS CAN DELAY HALO2 IF NESSESARY!!!
We all know Halflive 2, Doom 2, Black&White etc. Those and other games were delayed at the last moment. So don't ever think MS never delayes it! Hense, they even did that with Servicepack 2 for WindowsXP!!!!!
So give it a patient time now, and wait for it.
Otherwise we GET A REAL CHANGE THAT MS CHNAGES HALO 2 IN SUCH A WAY THAT A FORCED DASHBORD-UPDATE IS DONE FROM THE DVD ITSELF!
We keep the pleasure for it the next months. otherwise we'll be screwed almost instantly.

Is this because of the live 3.0 software?
I thought fifa 2005 already used the live 3.0 software, and the release date for that is 8-10 ...

My biggest concern of HALO 2 is that THIS is
>>>first a real MS release.
>>>Almost every Xbox owner likes to have it. only 15-20% are now on Xboxlive;
so SM misses more then 70% of the owners to get them a fixed dash to get rid of exploits. They can do an update to anyone, just by one game.
>>>If this hack was different and it was easy then MS could use an FORCED updater on the HALO 2 dvd; which closed the exploit. Direct end of story then....
>>>If this means a 2-3 weeks delay for launching... Believe me; they never had problems to do that. They did that (delaying) in the past with almost every program they made!! (Halo 2 is even already delayed...., so a big deal for them if this is just a few more weeks)
>>>Delaying a launching of such a game don't make MS lose money at all! They have a huge marketingbudget, and they DON't miss the Christmas season. This started half november; not half oktober!
But it seams to be another version of the ude exploit; but with another .xbe as base, which is multiregio-compactible. So my concerns are not applicable anymore. But i had FIRST THE IMPRESSION that there was a new exploit-method found!
Still, ik like to no also were it came from. But maybe it's better that it is not public. If this .xbe is from a fellow xbox user which works on MS laboratory.... then i can imagine that he don't like his name into this forum.
Anyhow, the exploit is released now. We'll see what MS brings us in the (near) future....
in the meantime my pc is calculating sha1 hashes... Hopefully i'll find a hashcollison.

What everyone seems to be missing with UDE / UDE2 / UXE installed, a "FORCED" update cannot occur. This was dicussed on the star wars thread and a few other ones. When the update.xbe is loaded from a dvd, it calls on the fonts from c:\fonts and then c:\. The hacked fonts will cause the box to halt before beginning any update process. The only way I see them getting passed this is to make a xbe that doesn't rely on these fonts or make a xbe to handle the hacked ones. A self-extracting xbe would most likely get the job done. Extract retail fonts to a temporary cache drive, load them, delete after use. This would be the best / easiest way to screw us.
I hope ms isn't reading this thread
. Regardless, we will be ready for whatever they want to dish out. That is if all the speculation is true.Of course if you restore your box to a retail state to play it live, something damaging can happen. As soon as it's released we (angerwound and I) will let you know how safe it is.
As for UXE's release, we are not waiting until after halo 2. Like someone said before (Sorry I can't quote whoever it was, I'm on my pocketpc) the hole is the same one used in UDE 1 and 2. It would be pointless to wait. If UDE turns out to be closed, sadly this will be too.

P.S. The fonts (internal) were created by rmenhal. We are just waiting on the Japan confirmation to release.

And devz3ro, trust me MS does read these forums. But, unless they incorporate some very stringent things a hotswap will make exploits live on guaranteed.
Then a hack of the Halo XBE's and no more update problems.
No Live! but its a crappy service anyhow.

I seriously doubt that they'd start formatting drives or any of that crap, as I said before, Xbox 1 is nearing the end of its time. Xenon is their focus now. Besides, they'd probably be worse off if they did do anything to try and stuff up H2 on modded xboxes since they would lose sales.
If M$ is smart enough, they will realise that even if they do release it to do anything in particular, we will find a solution, and hear no more about it. Might not be so good for live users but we've always got xlink
Post by: hotboi on September 30, 2004, 05:10:00 PM
What if M$ on the other hand did exactly the opposite of what the majority thought is.
What if they in turn slightly encouraged, condoned, or overlooked modding so the consumer would purchase their gamming system over a competiors?
Just a different angle of viewing it.

Can we stop talking so much about how these exploits are going to end and let this one at least start. I couldn't give a damn about Halo2, or M$ for that matter.

The UXE does need new fonts. They've been developed and are undergoing testing. Test results received are largely positive. Some mixed feedback from NTSC-J testers - but NTSC-J has always been flaky with all previous exploits too. The distribution will be on xbins in the very near future.

I brought 2 XBOXs from Tesco's (a supermarket in the UK) recently. One was plain XBOX, and one was a newer bundle pack (HALO1/MM3).
The plain XBOX was a v1.4, newer than the bundled one, a v1.2. I concluded that they use the bundles to shift old stock.

Look at up a few posts to my last one on this same page... The prog I linked too will produce the xbe you need from any of the update.xbe files from the following: Dash 4920 (both known versions) 5659, 5960, and the NFL Fever update.xbe also obtained from the Live Service. Just like using the exe's in the root post but easier.

I would imagine any M$ programmer/developer for the xbox may keep tabs on this out of interest and the chance of ar$e licking the boss. I don't see this as being the point of the subject though, M$ do things at their own pace, which in the corporate world is pretty slow.
I'm enjoying this UxE for now, it's what I've been waiting for. As pedrospad said though, I've bought a few box's from the UK and none have been 1.6 yet!!
Thanks for the fonts BTW, could't get the ones I had to work right.

The "special" update.xbe will not show up anywhere as it is MS copyrighted code.
What's not adequately explained in the readme files for updatefonts61 and 71 is that the patcher executables (s1914880-s1994752.exe and the rest) are intended to take one of the listed dashboard update files (NFL Fever, dash 4920.10027100 and dash 4920.1012A700) and transform that update.xbe into the "special" update.xbe.
So if you for instance had dashboard 4920.1012A700 shipped in your xbox, you could verify this by looking at the filesize of update.xbe - 1974272 bytes.
Once you've identified the dash, rename update.xbe to s1974272.xbe, place it in the same directory as the patcher exes and run the corresponding patcher s1974272-s1994752.exe to create the "special" update.xbe, named s1994752.xbe.
After that follow the font docs "Quick Installation Guide".
FreeX is an exploit that launches evox from a hacked gamesave. It can be found in "the usual places".
Don't forget to back up your xbox before you start and make sure you have a gamesave hack available throughout the process, so you can get out of trouble!

I'll start by saying my tsop is flashed so if a bios confliction is my problem (which doesnt occur with UDE2) then someone please shout. The reason i use softmod aswell is so i can swap my hd with my friends. HD is easier to carry then a xbox.
Installed UDE2 with ltools_v1.7.5_SC_PAL.rar which worked a treat.
Replaced ernie.xtf with the one from updatefonts71 and replaced bert.xtf with the generic one from the same fonts package. (i presume thats what itools installed for UDE2)
Patched my update.xbe (from dash 4920 xboxdashdata.1012a700) with s1974272-s1994752.exe
Overwrote c/xodash/update.xbe with my new one
Bang! freezes on xbox logo
Any help would be appreciated as this method will save me time for future installs on v1.6 xbox's. I have switched back to UDE2 by re-replacing the files until i can fix this.

-use the corresponding patch for it (this turns it into some uber.xbe.. right wrong??)
-something to do with fonts.. (gotta pick the right ones for the newly created .xbe??)
-transfer new .xbe to root of C: drive on xbox.. copy fonts across as well??
sign dash of choice with habibi key?? and put it in the right place?
am I anywhere being right? I've done a few xboxes before now but this is just baffling me.. sorry to sound like a moron

I have got this to work now (have not tested on a factory xbox yet, mine has its tsop flashed)
Here is what i done:
Installed UDE2 with ltools_v1.7.5_SC_PAL.rar which worked a treat.
Replaced ernie.xtf with the one from updatefonts71 and replaced bert.xtf with the generic one from the same fonts package. (i presumed thats what itools installed for UDE2)
Patched my update.xbe (from dash 4920 xboxdashdata.1012a700) with s1974272-s1994752.exe
Now this bit had me for a second "DELETE" c:/s.xtf (this was meant for the NFL fever update.xbe ONLY and you should have no other font (xtf) files in with bert and ernie)
*edit* forgot to metion to move dualboot.xbe from c:/ to e:/ then rename it to default.xbe
Overwrote c/xboxdash.xbe with my new update.xbe (s1994752.xbe)
*as corrected by eh. and as found in the readme when i looked again
All works fine now all that is left to do is test my hard drive in my friends xbox. I do not want to risk reflashing my bios with a retail bios incase it doesnt work and partioning my tsop is a bit beyond me and i dont fancy hacking the case to my xbox anymore
*update*
Reflashed my bios as i couldnt wait any longer and everything works fine.
Also for people wanting to know, i lock my hard drive with my friends EEPROM so i can use in his xbox

I would also like to know how to remake the initrd from ltools
I mounted it and copied all the files it contains to an other directory and then I used mkcramfs name_of_dir initrd to recreate a compressed initrd
but it doesn't seems to work (I get a kernel pannic)
You probably understand I want to personalise (change default IP) ldots' package for myself and add UXE at the same time
I've already edited the UDE shell script

sweet. I was wanting to know the same stuff. I want to make a custom package that has three gamesaves for Splinter Cell..
"Install UXE and UnleashX"
"Install UXE and Avalaunch"
"Install UXE and EvolutionX"
so that they would run a small linux prog to extract files to dirs on the HD.

But I cant get some game-backups to work properly... for example "Rainbow six 3"... when I will start the game nothing happens... it just stays there... I have tried with another HDD with the exact same setup soo it's not an HDD error.
It works flawlessly on my friends XBox 1.6 5838 with a modchip and M8 bios soo I guess it has to do with the UXE exploit somehow... I just need some help to solve this (if possible).

if it was for any of those reasons you listed, then the 6 series fonts would no longer exist and a version based on them wouldn't have been made for UXE...
i would have guessed quoting "updatefonts7 is so recent and the method may still require refinement" would be enough for you to figure out that it uses a DIFFERENT METHOD than the 6 series fonts...

| Which fonts do I use? I'm sorry I'm just quite confused. Do I use updatedfonts61 or 71? Why are both included? Thanks |
Ok, the full answer:
The original Dashboard font exploit works using two fonts - originally named Bert and Ernie. Bert is the exploit font, and Ernie contains the payload. The font header in Ernie is standard, which means, that a block of memory the right size is allocated/reserved, and Ernie is read into it, verbatim.
The font header on Bert, on the other hand, lies, saying that its size is only 3 bytes, when in fact it is bigger. This results in only 3 bytes being allocated, but the whole of Bert is read into memory, overflowing the allocated/reserved memory, and bleeding over surrounding Dashboard code. Because Bert isnt in memory allocated/reserved for it, it is theoretically possible for other Dashboard code (in parallel threads?) to overwrite and corrupt Bert in memory. However, the original/standard Bert survives this, as it is very small (less to get corrupted).
Fast-forward to UDE - based on the Update.xbe:
Update.xbe only loads in one font!. So the original trick of letting the Dashboard itself allocate and protect the payload in Ernie couldnt be used. Rmenhals original solution to this was to combine Bert and Ernie into the one font update.xbe does load. hence Bert-ate-Ernie. This is the basis for all the UDE/UXE fonts leading up to updatefonts6 (inc. 6.1). The downside of this approach in that Bert-ate-Ernie is much bigger than the original tiny Bert increasing the risk that, due to Bert-ate-Ernie residing is unallocated memory, that they may get overwritten and corrupted. Fortunately, in most cases, this doesnt seem to happen, however the negative symptoms reported by NTSC-J XBOX owners, or those with the Chinese language setting, implied that Bert-ate-Ernie was getting corrupted.
In considering this further, rmenhal realised that all the code to load a font was already in update.xbe (its used to load in its one font already). So he extracted the payload back out into the Ernie font, and crafted a new Bert, that contained a much smaller payload, that, on execution, re-called the update.xbes own load font routine, to safely load Ernie into allocated/protected memory. Bert then jumps into Ernie. This technique once again reduced the size of Bert, again minimising the risk of it getting overwritten and corrupted. NTSC-J XBOX have owners reported better success with these fonts (known as updatefonts7, and 7.1).
Thus, theoretically, the updatefonts7 family is more stable than the updatefont6 family.
Edit:PS. This is why it is important that Bert.xtf be placed in the directory first, ahead of Ernie.xtf (otherwise Ernie.xtf gets loaded first - and the XBOX freezes
).
Post by: rmenhal on October 07, 2004, 06:36:00 AM
Here's how the exploit triggers:
1. Allocate the less than 4 bytes indicated by bert's font header. Get pointer x to mem.
2. Load rest of bert to x, because that < 4 bytes minus 4 equals > 0xfffffffc bytes.
3. Try to allocate another memory block. It wants to return x+0x20, but since at step 2 the heap arena was (intentionally - the whole point) corrupted the exploit triggers when the allocator fiddles with the pointers there. There are two chances to step 3 immediately after bert overflowed.
So what happens if at step 3 the allocater gives you a memory block entirely different than that x+0x20? Nothing/crash/whatever. It's no use overflowing some data if it won't get conviniently manipulated by the existing code. And sometimes you don't get x+0x20. It depends on the state of the heap i.e. how many / what size memory blocks have been allocated before steps 1-3. A strange language setting or changing file name lengths can cause you to get something other than x+0x20. If you got something that was a bit further up in the heap, say x+0x100, then you could just repeat the manipulated heap arena data in bert. Unfortunately it seems that when you don't get x+0x20, it's either way too far above or then below x. For example, there could be a small free hole in the heap, which bert gets. Then at step 3 the allocator gives you a memory block from somewhere very different.
Another issue is that bert mustn't be very large. None of the memory that bert overflows has been specifically allocated. If that memory doesn't exists, then you'll get instant hang/crash already at step 2. This is really what updatefonts7 was made for. The size of bert is minimal so that if it does fall off the heap now, then tough luck. The size cannot be smaller. The drawback is that now you have two files and so a different amount of memory allocations before steps 1-3 when compared to updatefonts6. Another drawback is that bert corrupted the heap some and will load ernie in that state. All allocations due to ernie's font header should be ok, but there may be some small allocations elsewhere. The heap could of course be repaired, but that would mean including more code in bert, defeating the whole purpose of updatefonts7.
Although I originally stated that update.xbe only loads bert, that's not true. I noticed sometime later that ernie also loads, they just load in different order and ernie loads much later. So late that update.xbe draws stuff on the screen and tries to do the update. I guess it needs the ernie font for displaying the OK button in an update-failed dialog box or something.
Nevertheless it's also possible to use the original free-x fonts, just exchange the font names in the headers and put in the correct SEH pointer pointer. I had to change the file names to longer lengths though to make it trigger (reason: see the explanation above). So it's just slower, uglier and riskier (might connect to Live servers, though I didn't bother checking) and has the same heap issue.Post by: JimmyGoon on October 07, 2004, 08:10:00 AM

What extra does UXE offer ? I have friends using 1.6 xboxes who are looking at it as I understand it works on newer kernals and they won't need to patch their eeprom thanks to the finding of a newer update.xbe (hence the new fonts ?).

I suspect you supect wrong. The UDE/UXE just alters the signature key and has not a lot to do with the loading or not loading of games. I dunno what games you were talking about but it might be more bios related rather than exploit related.

I have tried many M8 bioses... naturally from the metoo packs and from other places... but as I said some game work and some dont.
If it would be bios related it must have to do with games dont liking the bios working BFM because I have tried them on another xbox with the same setup as me but with a modchip instead and everything works flawlessly.

Rainbow six 3

Try running MS dash to set the clock and run RSC2 again.
Edit : Saw on another thread that you already tried that. You have an upgraded HDD right? Maybe try reformatting E: (of course be carefull not to reboot before you rebuild the folder structure; TDATA, UDATA). Some xboxhdm users have said that reformatting E from Evox fixed similar problems for them???

The only thing I can think of is if the "partition table" (the magic BRFR value) is written to a wrong sector of the E-drive, but I checked that the value from xboxhdm is the same as for Evox. Actually I took this value from an Evox formatted HDD since the values reported in an article on xbox-linux were wrong!
All in all I feel safe about letting xboxhdm format E: but would be careful about was is copied over from an old HDD.

all these games works fine by me on various exploits (UDE/UXE) and the m8 bfm bios. except for conflict desert storm cuz I don't have that but I heard other people playing it just fine. Why do people always feel the need to blame exploits for not loading of games.
There are several checkpoints to let problematic games run such as setting clock/clearing cache and maybe reformatting like ldots sugested.

Personally I am running :

without any problems with UDE/PBL-Lite+X2 4981 from an (xboxhdm) upgraded HDD. Could try Metoo+Evox M8 if needed but I'm pretty confident that will not affect the outcome.

also, now that there is an all-in-one exploit, are you gonna render the UDE/UDE2 installer obsolete? i.e no more updates and future versions are UXE only?

-ALL the features of Ltools (including HD and eeprom backup, uninstall, etc)
NOTE: If you prefer using Ltools, continue using it, its a great installer props to Ldots for it. (Ive used it myself

Mechassault....Done!
SplinterCell (NTSC)....Done!
SplinterCell (PAL) ...Work in progress
Would that be Mechassault NTSC or PAL?

Mechassault is not region specific i believe, which is why he didn't mention NTSC/PAL

Not all of the soon to be released version
Is it a modified version of ltools or evox,mxm,... based? (Not that I mind at all if people modify ltools for their needs
)Anyway, the ltools update should be ready soon (and has been for a while). I hope to be able to do some final testing within a few days. Some additions :
- UDE1/2 has been stripped. Only UXE is installed now.
- Kernel specific fonts are used.
- PBL Metoo + M8 bios has been updated.
- 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.
- 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 UXW.
- Plus a number of smaller cosmetic additions and fixes...
There probably are some additional changes. Can't remember them all right now...

Its an mxm based installer, with a ppf patcher built in.
It will definately fit on a memory card. But ive had trouble with some scripts, so Ill be releasing on October 12.

damn this package will be so good
I have only one suggestion : the mini-linux should parse for the <IP> tag in the mxm.xml to get its IP address
something like
if [ -f $GSDIR/mxm.xml ]; then
IP=`more $GSDIR/mxm.xml | grep "<IP>" | cut -d '<' -f 2 | cut -d '>' -f 2`
ifconfig eth0 $IP
fi
in the linuxrc seems to work

- xboxdashdata.17F14D00 (?)
- update.xbe (2.387.968)
- xboxdash.xbe (1.925.129)
first i have to say that i already tried to mod his box with UDE2... but i didn't want to change the region, because i don't have any NTSC exploitable games (SC, MA, 007).
today i tried to install the UXE... i already have the habibi signed xbe and evo-x,... on hdd (from ude2)
so i patched the update.xbe (2.387.968) with s2387968-s1994752 and renamed it to update.xbe... then i replaced it for the unpatched update.xbe (2.387.968) on xbox hdd.
after that i tried to put the fonts into "fonts" folder... first i tried the updatefonts61\fonts\s1994752\bert_ate_ernie-5713-01.xtf -> ERROR 13
then i upped the
updatefonts71\fonts\s1994752\bert-5713-01.xtf
updatefonts71\fonts\ernie.xtf
-> ERROR 13 (yes.. i first put bert-5713-01.xtf on hdd)
i also tried the generic fonts and some combinations with s.xtf, s2.xtf, s3.xtf
dunno what scraps.xtf is, but i also played around with it and the 61 fonts
everything ended up in ERROR 13
i really don't know what i'm doing wrong... as i successfully soft-modded some other xboxes :S ...maybe it's because i messed up with the UDE2/eeprom before. i have backed up everything before... so it shouldn't be a problem to recover the xbox to a virgin state.
thx in advance!

omg... i'm sooo dumb!!! rofl
thx for your help eh.!!!
it works perfect... thx to all who made this great exploit possible!
only thing that's not working is the original ms dashboard... i renamed it to orig-msdash.xbe (or something like that). i tried it with Evo-X and UnleashX....
*.ini/*.xml settings 100% correct (C:\orig-msdash.xbe)

Post by: ramholio on October 26, 2004, 02:01:00 PM
I see a lot of replies to the first post, but nowhere can I find the actual instructions on what I need to do??
I'm at the stage now where I can load my Splinter Cell savegame and get to the main menu of the hack...if I run Mini Linux I get a distorted green screen BUT assume it is working because I can telnet in. I can get in and presumably change the region, but since the screen is distorted I HAVE to reboot to get back. Doing this would mean that i'd need a US game to do anything else!
Can I return to the main menu from Mini Linux without rebooting?
I can't seem to find instructions on what the next step is with this "ultimate exploit"??
Post by: krayzie on October 26, 2004, 02:08:00 PM
you are using ltools which is not UXE but an exploit installer and your version doesn't even include UXE
With the UXE you DON'T have to change your region
Please look around and read some more before you go and do things you will regret. There are pinned topics at the top of the page that are pinned for a reason.

Just to add more info to my prev post. I removed files from e:\dashboard and put inplace of MXM XBMC.
So now when i turn on the XBOX is goes straight to XBMC. I can still run mxm incase i need to remove the softmod.

I've included 2 sets, 61 & 71. As rmenhal mentioned, the memory layout is somewhat different on alomst every Xbox. If 61 does not boot, try 71 and vice versa. Install instructions: 1. Gain access to the Xbox hard drive 2. Backup (optional) contents of Xbox's current C drive to PC 3. Erase contents of Xbox's C drive 4. Copy contents from 'uxe-updatefonts' folder to the Xbox's C drive (Try 71 first) 5. Cold boot Xbox with no disk in dvd tray -devz3ro |
just be 2 sure.. REALLY delete the c drive?? and then just put the map fonts and xboxdash.be in c?
also, i couldn't backup bios and eeprom through evox, screen said: "backupping
"but can't it on my hd, searched everywhere but ok, i could do it emidiatly after wiping c drive and put uxe on it with an other evox.
also, tried Ltools 1.8 and on the menu i can only choose between 2 mechassaults things, there written the same, when i push on it, i get on the demo section of mechassault???? thought it was an installer? or did i do something wrong?!

If accidentally someone updates the dash by clicking Xbox Live can it still load CDRW/DVD-RW containing Evox to fix the Dashboard back (I dont have memory card nor action replay or anything)

2) Backup EEPROM and C/E if you want to
3) Erase C
4) Extract all files from the 71 folder and copy to C
5) Cold Boot Xbox without dvd in tray and all should be 100%
6) If 71 fonts didn't work repeat using the 61 fonts

A dashboard update will only affect xboxs that havent been UXE'd yet right?. I mean, there is no way a dashboard update on a game/DVD(Star wars trilogy) can undo the softmod?
As for teh two versions of UXE-complete, is it the case that u only need one or the other depending on your xbox, or is that if u change the language in the dashboard that u need to install teh other version. I've read the thread but i cant make that much sense of it.

Ltools is a great way to install UXE without using a PC...as long as you can ftp into the xbox, you can put the Ltools save game on and it will patch the update.xbe file for you, so long as it is there. If you have 4920 dash it will be, if it's not on there somewhere, then you can put it in files or data or whatever in the save game. I know it's a little newbieish, but it's nice if you like keeping things simple and clean.

One question though, how do I get the original msdashboard to work. On other font hacks I would load the xboxdash.xbe into a hex editor and change the font entries to .xft from .xtf. Then re-patch the .xbe using the -font patch and it would work fine. How can I do that using this hack as the font files aren't present or can I put the font files back in the fonts directory ?
Any help appreciated.

if you changed the fonts folder to f0nts you need to hex edit the same change you made into the xbe dash file. So change all fonts instanced to f0nts. No need to sign it with the font key or any other key cuz normally you boot the dash after the kernel has been patched or replaced.
Another option would be to use the shadow C maker and "unmod" your shadow c drive. Then there would be no need to edit the msdash anymore and you can use auto upgrading discs or the m$ multi discs without problems and you Actual C stays completely safe.

Likewise, I' rather the xbox boot up straight into the MXM (or Evodash preferably) rather than him having to go thru the process of waiting while MXM loads before can insert a game disc. If I was to get this UXE exploit (using either 007 savegame hack, or transferring across while ftp connected on current mxmdash setup) again would I then be able to do a full C: E: etc format with the slayer cd.
I know it sounds like a stupid question, I'd just rather try and make his box boot up straight to the right settings...and dont want to risk having to take out my chip to put in his for a few hours of repairing his box if I was to format....when I first modded his xbox I kinda figured you wouldn't be allowed to format it with a tool like slayers as figured all his xboxspecific info would be messed up and then be nonbootable.
hope you can help.
Tuck
PS...just to quickly add....from having the UDE exploit installed can I update straight to the UXE manually without having to revert the box back to original state (should a slayer format not be allowed)

I didn't keep the original fonts folder on the Xbox, I backed everything up to my PC then I deleted everything off the c: drive. I then copied the contents of uxe-"updatefonts71" onto the Xbox and it booted perfectly.
I think I understand what you are saying though -
Put the original fonts directory back but call it something else, then hex edit the msdashboard and make sure it looks at the new fonts directory.
Thanks,
Dave

How does one do that with no working savegame exploit on the hdd and no FTP access though?

Dead easy.
I use the 007 gamesave exploit to get the Xbox to reboot in Evox, I then FTP in from my PC and do what I said above.
Reboot and viola it's done.

You don't need a bios loader or kernel patcher with UXE but it comes in very handy and can save you a lot of hassle. Since your games are allready working you probably allready using either of the two. If your games give that problem it may indicate the dvd media you are using is not compatible or you have to clear your cache.

yea i can just use the chip but i was just wondering if ill end up whipping it formating an F without the chip turned on
this is really cool though, just if you dont have a chip or a friend with a chip to gain some ftp acces youll need mech assualt or splinter cell to use the save hack so you can get ftp,

If your mod-chip shows an F and G drive - it's flashed with an xxxxBIOS67 (F as partition 6,and G as partition 7).
Get UXE to chain to NKPatcher10-67, or use PBL to load an 67 BFM BIOS, and you should see your existing F & G drives again. You shouldn't need to format them again.

But when i use the UXE, when i click on the dashboard it doesnt do anything, my question here is, can i be able to use that function on the UXE exploit trick. thank you

These probably have obvious answers that I'm missing, but here goes anyways.
Would bad things happen (probable) if I placed the original fonts in the same folder as the hacked ones?
I guess I just don't really understand fully how the font files relate to the workings of UXE and the hacked update.xbe. Am I correct in thinking that the bert and ernie fonts are called by xboxdash.xbe, and by using an overflow, jump to a piece of code that loads the bios (metoo-m8-plus for example)? If this is the case, then is it coded into the hacked update.xbe where to look for those font files (bert and ernie), and so changeable, just like the msdash via hex editing?
Just seems like it would be more useful if UXE loaded the hacked fonts from some other folder, and left the originals where they were, though being excellent programmers, I'm sure there is a reason behind this.
Anyways, thanks for any info (and the exploit).

OK, I found a guide "The Art Of Hotswapping" I have a 1.6B Pal Crystal Xbox, I have downloaded the UXE zip file (from the usual place) with font folders 61 and 71.
If I use XboxHDM do I:
1 Put the contents of the fonts folder from UXE zip in C of XboxHDM folder (try 71 then 61)
2 Create (Using make-win-iso.bat) Burn off the ISO etc,
3 Hotswap (recreate C from Xboxhdm ISO as created above),
4 Boot Xbox (hopefully from expoit)
5 Obtain EEPROM.bin using Evox's backup (in case of emergencies)
Is that me done?
Am I now ready to play backups?
Or is this just the start?
Sorry bout needing this clarification but I am a total muppett and a bit scared as I have already stuffed up soldering my chip in. (Hence the softmod)

yup update.xbe cannot be edited since that would brake the signature.
And no the fonts don't contain any key so don't have to be signed.
The thing that is so special about the UXE update.xbe is that it's able to boot on any xbox kernel and any xbox region as where other update.xbe's fail.

I was interested in setting up an Xbox with the UXE mod installed but with an option to load the original Xbox dash. I have an idea about how to do it but wanted to check to see if anyone else had tried it or if you can see any potential issues.
Note I'm using UXE 7.1 and Evox
-First make a new directory on Xbox C drive called Xdash
-Copy entire contents of C drive (except for the new directory) to the Xdash directory
-Rename the default Xbox dash xbe file to Xdash.xbe
-Edit the Evox menu (evox.ini in UXE files) to load C:\Xdash\Xdash.xbe when the menu option Load Xdash is seleted
-Copy UXE files to C drive and reboot as normal
Evox loads as normal. Select the Load Xdash menu item and the default Xbox dash loads to do normal Xbox dash stuff. Reset Xbox and Evox reloads.
Please rip apart this theory as much as you like. I mainly wanted feedback to see if I will destroy the Xbox if I test this and any suggestions are encouraged.

How about if I leave the Xbox C as is by default, change the .xbe to xbox.xbe and copy the UXE c drive over so both are there, and change the evox.ini to load xbox.xbe from root c. It would look messy but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Am I right or missing something else?

the update.xbe looks for the fonts by name then by disk location of .xtf files

Check your settings on the xbox (where the IP etc is set). Near the bottom you should see an IGR option. Turn it on

And if it doesn't have a certain function that I want (say IGR), how do I get it? I'm really confused about it. Thanks

I used Uxe and it worked very well, the only thing is, I want to use my original xboxdash too. How can I do that? I made a shadow c drive with evox, but I dont know what im supposed to do with it...

This would probably sound like a really weird question, so here it is. What happens when your CMOS (or whatever) battery dies in your Xbox with this softmod?
Also, what has changed in the latest release of uxe_complete from 0.20 to the latest one?

The xbox has no CMOS battery, it has a short life cap. when this dies, it loses time.

I think ms just wanted to evalutate all weaknesses and and uses of/for a modded machine so they could use that to design the 360.

I've done my first softmod (xbox v1.6) after sticking to modchips and TSOP flashing ever since I started modding, but I am very very impressed with the UXE exploit, well done to the creators, this is way past what I expected.
Welcome to the Noughties
. Softmods have more kudos. They're free, easy, and more flexible (can be XBL compatible whereas TSOP flashes arent).
I bet a lot more people have hexed their softmod files to customise their setups to exactly what they want than ever built their own BIOSes.

so my questions to be more specific (sorry for the long post i figure over specific detail is better than less)
1. should the zip i made of c keep the right directory structure and file copy/extraction order (for the fonts)
2. is there any boxes that dont like the generic font and is there an advantage to using the specific one for that kernel
3. do you want a copy to give out when its done as i havent seen a gamesave only installer for ndure (with this gamesave you only need a 8 meg (eg..my regular xbox memcard ) memory card and a game that can launch it as well i have it made for all three exploitable games sc ma and 007
with this you can softmod(ndure) any xbox with only a memcard and a game
when its done you will have a hidden c and a blank one in its place (via ndure shadowc)
as well as unleashx installed to c dash and a copy of the original c in the e drive that can be copied back to the shadow c to make the original dash accesible
its a three step process
1 copy the gamesave to the xbox hd via the original dash with the game out
2 remove the memory card and load the gamesave via the original game sc ma 007
3 click the first option on the list and wait till it says "all done"
when you restart the xbox with no game in the drive you will see the unleash x dash
i often carry another disk containing xbmc dvd2xbox and dvdx2 so i can install them as well
i know its no real accomplishment i just hadnt seen a simplified installer for ndure on xbins so i figured i would let you know and see for sure about its "compatibility" though i have tested it repeatedly myself
1: guess so
2: there are xboxes that don't like generic fonts. also having a specific font set will let you boot the exploit also from allready powered on state (like in dual retail mode)
3: there are many gamesave installers allready (including simplified Ndure installers) we don't need another one
(4: why is this in the UXE thread?)

Whats with the 3 folders of Bert and diffrent file sizes? I was gussing just to use the Generic one but not sure from what folder. Yes I looked at the tut's said nothing on this. I bet I gotta download something on xbins also? I just downloaded the file on this page and nothing more.

UXE is outdated, use NDure and don't bump dead threads.
