alright i followed my website tutorial instructions on unmoddin my xbox heres wut it said

To unmod your Xbox turn it on without a disk in it and keep the disc tray open and it will load the menu you were at when you installed the softmod. Now from here click on Restore MS BACKUP. Then when thatÂ’s done restart your Xbox and it should return to the Standard MS Dash. Now its back to normal (*Note-some people have trouble connecting to Xbox live after restoring MS Dash, To fix this simple go to Network Settings and make sure the IP is on automatic).

heres the scary news...

i did all that and i turned my xbox back on and it my xbox started fragging and a screen came up sayin i need to call xbox customer support i was talkin wit this guy on halo mods and he said it might be bad enuff i might have to buy a new xbox... unless i cant ftp it i dont kno wut to do!!!! its not like xbox is gonna help me fix my xbox after i softmodded it anyone help?

Sounds like a SID softmod... booting with tray open will bring you to the Softmod menu.

My only question is this... did you create a M$ dash backup before you first tried softmodding? You can't restore something you didn't backup in the first place.



Anyway, there's no need to get a new xbox... worst case scenario, you'll need a modchip.

13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.

so that explains ^^^^ that you have part of your dashboard missing, so if you can boot a dvd, use an auto-installer to fix it, or boot up the game you used to softmod w/ and re-softmod.

There could be a missing or corrupt file... can you still play games?

Edit: Silly me, I forgot about hotswapping... YOU DO NOT NEED THE EEPROM as said in the post above..

You can read about hotswapping in the exploit forums (I think, haven't been there in a while.. biggrin.gif)




You will need to chip your xbox now.

Grab a 15-30w soldering iron from Radio shack or The Source by CC (if in canada) and some really thin, rosin core solder.

Practice on old computer components, then order a chip like the Duox2 or if you want, an Xecuter 3 biggrin.gif

Or, get a solderless chip.

You can't coldboot?

Try turning on your xbox with an OEM xbox game already in the dvd drive.

If it can coldboot a game... then you can resoftmod your xbox.

1) Start up xbox with top dvd drive open button

2) Stick game in

3) Turn xbox off

4) Turn xbox on with bottom power button

5) See if it boots

6) Reply here.
