1) I softmodded an xbox for my lil sister with splinter cell and Krayzies NDure installer.
2) I used xbox HDM to copy the disc to a bigger 250g one. i then reinstalled the splinter cell softmod.
3) I used Auto-installer deluxe v.4.20 to get xbmc as my dash (unleashX is still the master dash though, i have to load xbmc under apps). all works fine.
4) She has just put in splinter cell, selected linux, levels, level 5 and got 'your xbox requires service' message.
AAAHHHH!
Now she has the MS dash, and can play games from disc, but how can we get back to the softmod?
she repeated step 4), just got a white screen, it froze. she then selected 'checkpoints' and got the your xbox requires service' message.
we tried resetting the xbox with the controller but that also doesn't work anymore.
and, if we reinstall the softmod, is f/games reformatted?
Error 5 says the Xbox is not locked. So try hooking the Xbox backup to the computer and loading XboxHDM. Then locking it. If that still doesn't work, you can always reformat the Xbox, and then it should be fresh. Make sure you lock it though, or else the Xbox will reject it!
