Jon;
In your Tut you mentioned picking between EvolutionX or MXM for the dashboard. Can we have a choice of UnleashX as well? or is this something I would have to load at a later time?
Thanks

I just wanted to drop in and shout out a big thanks to jonbtrini for taking the time to put this tutorial together. Linux Tools 1.75 is one hell of a quick and easy way to flash your bios and softmod your xbox. I especially liked this meathod as I am comfortable with linux and have been using several different linux distrobutions on my home computers for almost 2 years now. And remember people, jonbtrini's tutorial simply gets you set up on a modded box. From here you can keep researching and install many additional applications like linux or dvd2xbox which will allow you copy and run your games/movies/etc right from your xbox hard drive. I mean shit... the xbox is virtually a personal computer, why not use it like one?!?!?!?!
PS.. jonbtrini, I run my xbox through my main Linux box with a TV card and the use of a cool linux app called 'tvtime.' This gives me the ability to quickly and easily take lots and lots very high quality screenshots of every little detail of the softmodding process. If you ever wish to revise your tutorial with screenshots for every step or something like that email me at zukowskd@mscd.edu and I will gladly help you out with that. I also used the mech assault meathod so the screenshots would mirror your tutorial quite nicely.
Good Luck All, and let your experiments open the door to new xbox possibilities!

@Scooter8 - The installer only gives you the options to choose between Evox or MXM. However, it is SUPER easy to install any other dashboard you'd prefer. All you have to do is FTP into your Xbox, and delete the files that are in E:\Dashboard folder (remember to back them up though to your PC just in case). Then, just FTP the files for whatever dashboard you want to run BACK INTO the E:\Dashboard folder, and then reboot your Xbox, and you'll be looking at your newly installed dash!
@vidski - Yo thanks man, i'm glad to see i was helpful! Heck yeah, i'd love to maybe add some pics to the tutorial so i'll go ahead and email you about that!

hey yo i saw that idea of hoocking jonbtrini up with some pic of the softmodding prosess, that sounds like an amazing idea, i know u can add pic 2 the fourm but u might be better off starting a web site and typing a message on the fourm saying that there is an expanded version of the tutorial avalible to the people who go 2 ur web site, id love 2 help u 2 out by making the website its sounds like a fun project, the url could be somthing like www.jonbtrinismoddingtutorial.tk and we can have ur original tutorial or if u wanna "spice it up" a bit let me know n e wayz just reply on the fourm letting me know, and thanks 4 the tips.

@sniper91 - As it says in the tutorial, you first have to change your server to EFNET in the settings. THEN connect to EFNET, and finally when the window pops up, put in #xbins and you will connect to xbins....

So, jonbtrini I am moving to a new apartment and I will not have the internet hooked up there untill sept 9th. This means I will most likely not be able to get you any screenshots untill after that date. (but I am going to try)
No worries though because I have made further progress. I have found an easy way to install several additional applications onto your basic Evox install.
Hopefully by the time I move into my new place and get all my computers/xbox/LAN set up I will have methods/screenshots for installing "Xcommander" "PX HDD Loader" "BoxExplorer" and maybe more depending on how much I get done between school/moving/hacking etc.
Good Luck and keep hacking guys,,, perhaps by mid sept. you will see some more badass, useful tutorials here.

make sure your using the correct version, for example... i have to use PAL because i have a UK xbox, you may need another. also you need to click linux, then hold a for around 5 seconds then release
hope that helped :S

@Vidski - Well, on either page 6 of this thread, I put a sub-tutorial on how to install applications and whatnot once the mod is complete...everyone might wanna check it out, if you're not sure what to do once you're done....

Jon;
I have read almost everything on the thread and just successfully modded my Xbox. However 2 things.
1. When I boot the xbox with the DVD tray open it boots to ltools is this correct? Other than this it boots to the Dash.
2. 4 of my loaded games work fine but 1 does not load it locks up on the opening screen. Both if I load it from the HD or the DVD. I know the disk worked fine before the mod. Any suggestions.
Thanks

i have an origonal PAL copy of Splinter Cell ...
I save part 1 and 2 to my ACTION REPLAY memory card as told ... copy them both to my xbox, part 1 makes its own folder and part 2 goes into splinter cell, i turn my Xbox off then back on, insert the splinter cell disk, when i get to the splinter cell main menu, i click start game, select the linux profile ... now here is where i get stuck.
i click check points and it freezes (is this normal ?!)
i also tryed clicking levels but it loads them up as normal
Can someone help me P-L-E-A-S-E
