Error 6 is a locked drive. You have locked the drive with an incorrect eeprom.

Don't start an argument either, saying "That's the eeprom it gave me, i know it's the right one"

It's not.

Softmods have two eeproms. The real one and a virtual eeprom (Softmodded one). You can check if your eeprom is correct with a program called 'LiveInfo'. It will tell you the serial number on the bottom of your Xbox. If it matches, then you know you have the right one!

Unless you guys backed up the original HDD or can still FTP into it, you are going to need an eeprom reader. You also need to unlock the drive again with the wrong eeprom.

Common mistake, it should really be documented somewhere. Most, if not all tutorials leave that information out.

Glad you got it working though.

Just for clarification for other users, can you describe the steps you used to find the two eeproms ( where they are, etc).

It's always nice to finish a thread with a conclusion, makes the search function more productive!

yeah i read these forums for countless hours until i found the solution..

well when you click backup on evox or watever it gives you the bad eeprom (patched one)

when you softmodded it, it saves the good eeprom in the E partition under UDATA..

look in there for a folder named 2????
it starts with a 2...then inside that there is a folder named 00000000..then inside that folder a folder named backup..and there it is

Yep, good man. That's the one! The softmod screen also saves one to E:\Backup or something, but the real one is in the Udata\2xxxxxxxxx\0000000000000\Backup folder!

Nice!
