try putting a game like halo 2 in and trying to run LIVE mode. (no need to be connected) it should update your dash.

You could hotswap and fix this. See Daddy's excellent tutorial here:http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=332179

you could have just ran MechAssault again to gain access to the xbox through ftp. Apparently the savegame was there sleeping.gif

1) Do a search for Slayers 2.6, as it will have the C: partition files you need to restore your xbox back to stock
(Since he didn't make a backup).
2) I would suggest getting Krayzies Ndure 1.1 installer, as it's very easy to use and has all the latest updates.
3) Yes, a mod chip would solve this, but softmods are also very reliable if installed correctly.

You don't need to worry about the version on Slayers.

Just make sure it is the 2.6 release, this has the latest dashboard files which are backward compatible for all Xbox versions. They are located is the folder SYSTEM\ALL\C   ... use Qwix to extract the ISO and you can skip burning the DVD


Tip for hotswapping.... use a stopwatch, I've tried swapping based on front LED ring colour change, and MS Splash screen, the only sure fire way I've found is unplugging the IDE at 8 seconds after I've powered up the Xbox.

You can play games and the gamesave is there but I think it didn't work because you're missing a file. You only have mechassault gamesave?

HUH??  uhh.gif


  Please remember that it only played games up untill I tried to let Halo 2 update the dash.  the MA Gamesave NEVER worked.  All he could get was FTP access thru the emergency Linux portion on the exploit.  The actual Linux installer would not run.  now, since updateing w/ Halo 2 it rebooted the xbox & now gives error 21

Most I could say is use Xboxhdm and the Slayers 2.6 CD, Hot swap and rebuild C partition. Then try softmodding again.

@PopTart629: The answers are in DaddyJ's Hotswap tutorial (check my signature)

The drive will lock again when you get an error screen, hence my recommendation of the stopwatch.

You don't need to flash the bios or TSOP if you have a softmod running.  You should be able to boot unsigned code using the NDURE 3.0 that you installed onto the hard drive.

Ok, thats what I thought. but I cannot boot with any of the media I have present.  So how do I get another dasboard on the box & make it work.  I want to run XBMC as my primary dash. Can this be done?
