Hello!
I use an old-time xbox, that's been chipped.
I've never had any problems with it until now.
Suddenly when I boot the xbox, all my menus have disappeared, except the following one's:
MS Dashboard
Reboot
Power Off
Settings
Backup
Flash BIOS
All the menus that goes to my program's, video's and game's have vanished.
The harddrive has not been formatted, or any thing's been deleted (I think), and
I can still reach all the data through my computer using a FTP-client.
I've never done any updating or changed any special settings, unless it has done anything on its own through the Internet.
Can anyone please help me with this dilemma? I would really appreciate it
Best regards
Urgubal

Yea, and there is no Xbox forum anymore. I would have posted that question here too.
I can't be of any help, sorry, my old Xbox 1 is long gone.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

sounds to me like the xbox has been chipped but no one put a new dashboard on it.perhaps someone messed around with it and done something they shouldnt.

What you have written there looks like your modchips original BIOS it's pretty similar to mine except i have an extra line "xbmc",so assuming yours was setup to bypass that screen check settings perhaps your dash was disabled some how,this is of coarse assuming it is actually chipped as i have no idea what a softmod dash or boot menu looks like

Okey, well... It's very strange, I think. Unless of course some one has tempered with it, which I found unlikely.
On the Settings/info menu, below the BIOS information, it says:
BIOS version : Unkown
Kernel Version : 1.00.5838.01
Xbxox hardware info (something, something)
Unkown BIOS version? That's seems odd.
The only thing's that's disabled is below the MISC settings:
TSR Disabled
...This must be the work of a poltergeist or somehing. :O

I get this message on the xboxdash.xbe-file:
- This application cannot run using the active version of the Microsoft .NET Runtime
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

The AID 4.50 disc could be used to see if the box boots to xbmc,it's a live reinstaller disc for hard or soft mod boxes,comes with everything,using the file manager you might be able to boot xbmc once the xbmc .xbe is clicked,whatever you do tho don't delete anything or format since your games etc are still intact
edit:it might be better to find a local xbox repair person & see what they think & i repeat DON'T FORMAT OR DELETE ANYTHING unless you have it backed up,by rights there's no reason to change F or G keeping those as they are especially the games & movie folders will allow access as the other partitions can be repaired

Thank's for the advice! I haven't really done anything, hence my total confusion on this matter. Though, I would've rather fixed it myself. :(

check your pm inbox ok forget about the pm go here create a topic if they can't help fix it no one can,don't use the shout box to ask the question just let them know you've made a post & need help,it would pay to know what modchip it has i would think as well

i'd say back up your data (unless you plan on losing it) then flash the bios then install a new dashboard.I havnt worked on an xbox in years.someone with more experience might be able to advice you.

it's chipped.. and it's lost it's dash file.. which is dead easy to fix if you know what you are doing.. get in by ftp and looksee if there is an evox.ini file.. if there is open it with a plaintext editor (I use nano.. something like that or kate or bluefish is good) and copy/paste it here and I'll have a look and see whats going on for you.. thats the file you need to understand.. IF the application you were using as a dash has been deleted or just gone wrong (xbmc anybody?) the box will always revert to that stock dash variant (failsafe in evox bios to xodash.xbe)
don't change anything yet.. we will probably only need to edit a line to get full function restored ;)

We might have hit the nail on the head.. the dash that was coming up was the stock xodash.xbe that runs after an error16 recovery with halo2 cheat.. usually all that needs doing after that is a quick path edit to evox.ini to point the boot at the right dash file and normal service is resumed.. usually.. :)
