Thanks, I should be able to do it now. One other question- with a modchip, can you be banned from xbox live completely? Or, like when I soft modded, in halo 2, I was only banned from matchmaking. Do you know if I'll be banned from live or just matchmaking, or a way not to get banned? I don't want to mod during matchmaking, I just want to be able to still play ranked. If I can, I'm going to get a second hdd to store the unmodded versions of all my files...

Yes and no.

If you happen to try to get on XBL with your chip turned on, then yes. most chips now have an external switch, but that doesnt mean you cant get banned. what most people forget to Lock their HDD before going on XBL, so even with the chip turned off, if you forget to lock the hdd you can get banned.

most can do it through an external switch or within the bios

Hi, I have a problem. I modded my xbox with a softmod, but i guess something went wrong because error 16 appears. It can't even read games. I tried to do what ur solution said but i couldnt because you say that I have to put a friends hdd in my messed up xbox and boot up with my modchip on. Just one problem, i dont have a modchip!, my friend does have a modchip but not me. Please help me on how to fix this. Thanks.

Recently i tried to softmod a v1.6 xbox. I used mech assault's gamesave that was availible to install and back up the dash. Then i ran slayers 2.6 and backed up the eproom and unlocked the hard drive without the ethernet cable plugged in. I was about to flash into the box and it required me to reboot and get an ip address. This is now causing error 5. Is there a way i can lock the hard drive back, because it wont let me even load a disk. Or do i need to get a mod chip. Any advise will be usefull. Also can i still flash ftp into the xbox while the error is displayed. so that i may get the eprom file. And is it possible to extract format and replace that harddrive in the box, or even replace the hard drive in my box and restore the ms dash so that i may try to soft mod again.

My hard drive just crashed. About 2 days ago, I got an error 13 from dashboard mis-installation, so I was going through the steps to fix it, It played real games just fine a day ago, but when i tried to take things apart, ready to hotswap the drive, I started the xbox, now nothing...get an error message now when there's a real game in the drive. Is there anything I can do to save it, or is it dead?

Recently installed X3 CE on XBOX (version 1.1-1.3)

Well, I recently installed the X3 CE chip on my xbox. I researched just about everything about the chip for a solid three months. When I tried the quick/long/dual press everything worked fine. On the TV one could see the FlashBIOS 3.0.1. screen with the 5 different options.

Question 1: Does this mean that the hardware installation was a success, or might something still have gone wrong?

Next, I burned a CD with X3 Bios Build 3288 LFRAME BETA and another file to take up some space. That is, I made an iso image of 3288 and then included an ABC.DAT 150 mb file on the disk to be burned. By the way, my external switch was set to on-on-off-off-off (from top to bottom). I then saw the FLASHING XECUTER screen (with the green/yellow bar) and my XBOX subsequently shut off automatically. At this point I thought everything would work perfectly, afterall everything I had read suggested this was normal. Then, when I turned the XBOX on, it booted twice (with the green light) and then started to FRAG (flash red and green). This is where I am at this point, extremely discouraged.

Question 2: Did I flash the wrong bios or what went wrong?

Question 3: Is my XBOX ready for the graveyard (sure hope not)?

Question 4: How can I fix this problem, if it can actually be remedied?

Just thought I'd mention, I can play original XBOX games when the chip is turned off.

I greatly appreciate any help I can get. While I did read a great deal of articles about XBOX modding, I am no more than a novice at this. I also hope you'll pardon the length of this message, but I figured that more information might help diagnose the problem.

does any one know what the problem is 4 green and red flashing with an error message but no numbers. I have never done any modding on it or anything like that my xbox is a 1.0 if that helps at all. Sry if this is an obvious question.

not long after i modded my xbox (led's in controller ports and cathode fan + cathode under jewel), i've had to have a few goes at getting it to start up. my brother was havin a go at it a while ago, n got a few error 07's then heaps of error 21's. he eventually got it working, but it froze in an online halo 2 game for about 15-20 seconds then started running perfectly fine again then froze again. this freezing up has only just started though... i get the flashin green/red light and both error 07 and error 21... so i'm thinking it's the hard drive, but i'm also thinking maybe it's the cathodes drawing to much power from the hard drive or something? but i've seen xbox's with alot more stuff in them drawing alot more power than mine would be... i told my brother that i reckon it's the hard drive, and he says yeah it's probably too full (we have over 50 games + soundtracks on it), so could that be true? (i haven't yet seen an xbox that doesn't just say that it's perfectly empty in the memory page)... i really don't wanna do any soft-mod's and i'd rather not install any chips... my first thought was add an external switch for the cathodes, but i thought i'd ask you before i wasted any time opening if it wouldn't get me anyway, cause i'm doing half-yearly's at the moment and don't need to be wasting time... so do you have any idea what my problem is? what do i do?

Hi I recently softmodded my xbox using sid4 and the splintercell exploit. Every thing was going well for about 3 weeks. I installed xbmc and found it very useful everything worked until I powered down. I the powered down my box and the original ms dash showed up with the clock needing to be set. I set the clock and it then went on to the ms dash then jumped to the evox dash. then I was able to load xbmc as an app. once again I decided that I wanted to power down to make sure everything was working properly. when I turned back on the xbox it did the same thing again with the clock but this time after setting the clock it went to the ms dash and stayed there. now here is the tricky part the box can still play burned games. If I try to use the sid 4 installer it goes to the unleashX dash but won't let me install it. The first window says shadow c/eeprom "first you will go to the virtual setup mnu. follow the steps and you will automatically be directed to the softmod installation menu. Proceed?" I select yes to continue and then gives me this error message "failure" "batch process failed. the last item was action: rename". and btw I can still FTP into my xbox while in unleashx so I can still modify the files on my xbox. Now I know that it's trying to create the shadowc file and the eeprom the files are still there so i think that might be the problem but I don't know how to restore my original ms dash so that I can try to install the softmod again can anyone help me. I'm not sure if that's all of the info you need but if you need more feel free to ask away thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Wow, that is odd. I never heard of anything, but at the same time Im not too familar with softmodding. I did all of my mods with chips. I would consult the forums at xbox-scene, they have a thread dedicated to softmodding.

Good luck

Cookie187: I would check all connections in your xbox to see if they are snug, if that dont solve the problem then your harddrive is on its way out, so if you havent backed up your harddrive I would do so know, incase you have to replace it. What do you have a softmod or a mod chip in your xbox? I dont think power is an issue unless you have a big harddrive in it.

It does sound like your gonna end up getting a mod chip if your xbox dont stop flashing red and green. And mod-chips are relativly easy to install if they are solderless.

But if you dont feel like doing these things yourself you can pay someone to fix it.

Thats what is called christmas lights, and by no means its christmas. Your xbox is fragging and that means the TSOP, is totally gone, the only fix now is a modchip.

Ok, this is what happened...from the beginning.
1. Installed Krayzies NDure 1.0 manually to the E drive.
2. Everything works as planned, and I look around.
3. I backup my eeprom first, like it says to.
4. This is where I messed up...i went to rescue disc thing...and then it showed me a list of all these kernels, which i didnt know what they were so i chose the last option: Generic. after loading for a few seconds it promped me with an box that told me what it did and then I pressed "A"
5. Now my xbox wont load splintercell, but will load other games.
6. When I boot xbox w/ splintercell i get Error code 21...I know what it means, but in my case, how do I come along fixing it? Thanks for any help and hope i was clear enough to understand, i know i can be unclear sometimes...
