So,one day I was using AID Deluxe 4.10 and flashed it with EvoX. the problem is that the plug was loose and it came out in the middle of installation. So now when I boot up I get flubber screenthen switches to blank screen (I cant boot Slayers or AID anymore). Did I brick my xbox? If I didn't then can you tell me how to fix it?
Thanx in advance,
Hackaveli

The thing is I can't boot up anything. The Game disc or AIO just boots to a blank screen or hangs at flubber screen

There is a soft-mod you can perform without using action replay or one of the exploited games. The tut I used for it is here: http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=13629

After doing this, your hdd will be fixed and willl have the evox dash. You can then use AID to install the additional programs you want.

On a side note: after doing the soft-mod described above I found that installing a primary dashboard from AID did not work. I had to install unleashx by replacing evox in the ROOT dir (btw, this is not the root directory of E:, but a folder named ROOT) of the E drive. AID did work for installing additional software though.

try to login to what? also i don't want to do hotswap bcuz i shocked myself a bunch of times last week trying it. o and about the eeprom. i have it backed up on the stock hd of the xbox (im a retard i kno) which i cant access. So im in a fix here, if i need modchip then can you point me to one that costs less than 60$ and is solderless. cuz i think i would screw my xbox up soldering. and offtopic, can smartxx lt opx work properly using a xapter, if so can u link to tutorial.
TNX VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE IT!

Read my tutorials, especially the Hotswap ones. If you follow my guide to the letter, there is no danger and it's really easy!

Thanx but I don't want to risk a paperweight hard drive so I'm going to get a SmartXX v3 from Divineo. Does it work with a Xapt3r (not xapter)

Oh Crap! I turned my xbox off without the ide cable in when i was performing hotswap. It happened cuz I got shocked. O no im in a predicament. Do I need modchip? Cuz as I said above ill either get the SmartXXv3 with Xapt3r from divineo (50 buck deal, nice) or get a new box. SO what im asking here is do i need a modchip?

Yep modchip! You might be lucky, turn it back on and see what error you get! As long as it's not a 5 you'll be fine!

Thanks for all your help!!! But one more question before I buy a Xecuter3, should I flash it with the newest Xecuter3 bios. Oh and can you use (with a modchip) a unlocked drive in a normal game or dashboard (like say im using a game, and i want to load a game from the unlocked drive (as if i can't lock it) would it work?) Thanx to evryone at afterdawn who helped me again.
