Heres a quick tutorial posted by RomanS ( suspended )

" Ok so you got a xbox, and you wanna softmod it and have tons of fun. If you don't know what what softmod is It lets you mod your xbox w/o opening it.If you are wandaring what you can do with a modded xbox you can play burnt games,play emulaters,And mod games (usally people like to mod halo).

What you need:

Action replay (You need this to transfer linux to your xbox)

Meccahsult,Splintercell 1, or 007 Agent Under Fire ( you need one of these and it has to be orignal, the reason you need this is because these games have a linux program in it)

Your gonna need a linux installer each game for if your gonna use meccahsult (i prefer this game) AIM me i have the installer.

If you are gonna use Splintercell download http://eastcoastxbox.com/modules.php?nam..._op=viewdown... SC%20UXE%20Installer%20v2.7
(scroll down)

If your gonna use 007 Agent Under Fire
http://eastcoastxbox.com/modules.php?nam..._op=viewdown... ller%20v2.7
(scroll down)

Ok so you got all those Things then your ready.

<><><><><><><><><><>
How To Soft Mod Your Xbox.
<><><><><><><><><><>

1. Open up Action Replay and drag you linux installer into the Pc Data Base.

2. Now drag you linux installer onto Memory Card.

3. Alright cool you got linux installer on your memory card.

5. Now ok you got your linux Installer on your xbox. Ok restart your xbox.

6. Put in the game you are using.

7. Ok load up all the profiles and you should see "run linux" go there.

8. Ok it took you to a whole differnt screen it'll say netherlands or english, if u speak better in netherland then pick that if not pick english.

9. The Rest of the questions it'll give you is really easy exept when it asks you if you want Nk patcher.06 or Nk patcher.67 Pick Nk Patcher.06. then when it asks you if you want Unleashedx or evoltuionX. PICK UNLEASHEDX.

10. After that you are all done your xbox is modded.

Errr mate, correct me if im wrong but you said " Xbox", not " XBOX360 ", anyway, its not the same as the oridinal XBOX and as easy, this time u need to open your XBOX360, remove the DVD drive, connect it to ur PC via SATA, and flash the firmware on the drive.
Heres a quick tutorial on how to do it...

Hi,I have a xenium 1.1 xbox,ind bios,and a 750 gb SEAGATE formatted with only one big partition F by 64 clusters,filled with 540 gb of files!No problem until now:

Today my xbox started to act strange.When i switch it on,and load xbmc or any other dash at the beginning,things get very slowly...It takes 3-4 secs for every act of my joypad,it seems the frame rate dropped at 1!Then after 5 minutes like this,everything returns to normal.

I tried to move the HD to another xbox,same problem!I think my 750 gb is dying,but I'm not sure..I must say that with 20 power ups i had only 2 error codes (7-9),not a big deal..
So my xbox slows down only at the first power up and every time i power it on,then if i wait a little,things get faster as normal,i can reload the dash by IGR or stuff like that,but if i switch off and then power it on again,same thing,dash acts very slow for 3-4 minutes!

What the hell is going on here???

I must say that my samsung dvd drive started to act strange from one week.It always loads as it has a disc inside..So i swap it with another dvd drive...But the problem of the slow downs is still there...
My hard drive has only 2 months,so is new,and very rare to find where I live..

The hard disk works fine,sadly i have to wait 3-4 minutes to get things going to normal speed every power up(by button),but after then i can reload xbmc by joypad reset,dash reset etc...And if I power it on again same cycling problem.

I hope you can help me!

Ok Before your HDD totally drives with all the games and files on it, if i were you, id pretty much think about backing up everything onto another harddrive which you can use, coz it sounds like theres a delay in power delivery to your xBOX HDD, tho try someone elses hard drive that may be the absolute problem... but if i were you, youd need to think about backing up your games Either to ur PC Via FTP ( tho it'll take absolutely ages ) and then when u get a new HDD with a softmod on it, transfer all the files and directories onto the XBPX Via FTP age, ( id suggest you wake up in the morning, set the ftp Network going with all ur files in a Que then leave for work, they should be doen when u get back, and enjoy a game...

Thanks for the answer!
I always have a back up of my files on my pc,and i also trasferred about 250 gb yesterday to my segate 400 gb in another xbox,so the files are safe!:D
But the problem is that i use my xbox as a media center, so i need at least 750 gb for my movie collection,that's way i hope my hard disk would resist,even like this.Seagate doesn't make this hard drives anymore. :(
So you're saying that there is a delay in power delivery to my xBOX HDD?Is it normal this happens only at firt boot,or power up by button?
Because as I said,if i wait 3 minutes,everything turns normal speed..
And from here if i try to igr or reload evoxdash.xbe by file manager,this problem never happens,only power button!
I tried everything:
1) I put my hd on another xbox,nothing!
2) I put another hd on my xbox,works!
So it must be my 750 hd,without dubt.
I'm interested on saving this one,if there is something i can do!
Tnanks,for your help.

MR DOOM, i believe soo, just check the hard drive Compatibility charts before wasting money buying one,

XBOX HDD compatibily chart

but if you dont see ur HD there since thts a pretty outdated chart, just give it a shot, and try use the hard drive you buy but yea, my XBOX before i sold it had a 1TB HDD and sold it for £699 coz it had a collection of everything xbox related...

I have my xbox connected to my Sky modem and that wirelessly gives me the internet on my laptop. I had it working a few days ago when rebooted my xbox with SlaYer 2.7. I reinstalled everything, made xbmc my dashboard and so on, FTP'd it with CoreFTP. Turned my xbox off then put it back on and it wont automatically pick up the connection again.

The light on the front of the modem keeps flashing on and off too... The modem model is a Sagem.

Ive looked at a million forums but they all have similar problems but not exactly mine.

I know this a problem that pops up in forums all the time put they dont specifically help!

Just wondered if any one would like to help me please?

Safee mate... u need to set up the Ip Adress agen to somehting lie ... 192.168.1.3 for FTPing... 192.168.1.1 for internet or something like tht...if you had Linux Dual Boot on ur XBOX, since linux supposidly picks up the internet connection automatically because it configures everything itsself, watever dashboard you switch thru it'll configure that for you in the background but seeing as you dont, u need to configure the network settings agen from scratch...

Linux is an Operating system which is compatible with the XBOX system, you can transform your XBOX into a Low end PC, using it basically for your office work and using Linux compatible Work suits... its like windows, but for the XBOX in general...

If you can connect to the internet on your laptop, the internet connection is fine, Just a problem with the XBOX and make sure that you set your IP to static when trying to FTP ...

"
1. click start menu
2. select 'run'
3. type in 'cmd' (winxp,2000) or type in 'command' for win95/98 etc
4. type 'ipconfig /all' or 'winipconfig'
5. it will show you all your pc network settings.
6. write them down
7. my home pc ip is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. So just use this as a example.
8. I have my xbox setup with a static ip address of '192.168.0.2' with a subnet of '255.255.255.0' and a gateway of '192.168.0.1'. And have the static switch under xbox setting switched to 'YES' static..
9. reboot your xbox

IMPORTANT:
- if you are connecting directly from your network card to your xbox you should be using a crossover.
- if you are connecting from your hub/switch router etc to your xbox use a normal rj45 network lead..

my flashfxp settings:
example:
ip: 192.168.0.2 Port: 21
user: xbox
pass: xbox

press the 'f5' key to refresh when connected.. "
