I've read at another site (And in the middle of testing the information's worth) that if you get an error 16 it can still be fixed, by unplugging the DVD-Rom, forcing the Xbox to boot up to error 11. The site claims that at error 11 (And I'd assume errors 10 and 12 would count as well) defaults back to unlocking your harddrive, making the hotswap method permissible for anyone with the dreaded clock issue.

Can anyone here say whether this information is correct, or just another false ray of hope? And in the event that it is the 'golden secret' to fixing error 16, is there anyway to update the original post?

well I didn't win the lottery but I did get the red/orange flashing light on my xbox. I took the board out and I can see where a small trace was removed from the board. The only question I have about this is what type of wiring should I use and if there is any particular method to fixing this trace issue. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I have an xbox it is kind of old. It has not been moded or altered in any way. I get the christmas lights...it says error 13 and 21 on the screen. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix it or at least save my hard drive data. I have an old extra hard drive laying around if i need it. I dont have a big budget but any help would be greatly appreciated.

This occurs frequently when the xbox is unable to boot due to dashboard changes being made (ie Gcue true blue hasnt been resigned, parts of the stock dash are missing - incomplete FTP backups copied to a new HDD for example).


error 21 can also mean that if you have a modded xbox that you booted ur box of a game then clicked xbox live that restarts the xbox giving you error 21 all you have to do is reboot

hey i hav an old xbox that i accidentally broke last summer
i had origionally installed evox dashboard with action replay and MechAssult
I accidentally hit restore xbox thinking it would get rid of the soft mods. I was wrong, it completely gutted the Hd (i think)

After trying to anything to fix it i ran out of luck
as a last resort i have been trying to hotswap using XBOXHDM 1.9
it says to unplug the dvd drive to get error code 11 so the HD will be unlocked

when i turn my xbox on with everything plugged in the right spots i get the service screen, but no error code and when i unplug the dvd drive i still dont get an error code
does anyone know what i am doing wrong or what i need to do to get erro code 11

Hey guys, I have a problem, as you probably figure. I softmodded my xbox not too long ago, did my research and everything. It went great worked like a charm. But a few weeks ago I accidentally renamed my msdash file and now it gave me the usual error 13. I know the problem already, but the fact is that I cant seem to access my xbox via FTP. I run it through a router, and i had done it other times before with no problem, but now that it gives me errors i cant access it at all. Is there anything I can do? Suggestions? Anything would help. I use FlashFXP as my FTP program and my softmod dash is unleashx.
