Do you see folders C through F then X though Z?

Use D as your main folder. Make an apps, games, and movies folder. Drag the XBMC to the Apps folder in D:

isn't D:\ the dvd partition... i've always had my stuffs on E:\... and some on C:\
if you get a bigger hd you can activate F:\ and G:\

i'm pretty sure you made a typo... 'cause you know all this stuff :lol:

yes i see all of those folders
... and when i try to make the apps games.... folder it says FTP Folder Error: An error occured creating a new folder on the FTP Server. Details: 553 Requested action not taken

try making the folder on E:\... maybe thats the problem...

after you softmod and get access through ftp its not that hard....

you'll see the folders c,d,e,f...x,y,z, your main storage folder will be e:/ (in this folder youll find a "tdata" and "udata" folder, this is where savegames are stored)

in e:\, make an application folder (most people name it "apps"), if youre using flashFXP right click inside E:\ and select "make folder"...

all the applications come in one folder per application, just move this folder to e:\apps\...inside each application folder should be a "default.xbe" this is the executable, it will run the application, this is just basic knowdledge...

if you try to make an app run as a dashboard, (i.e, xbmc) you have to make a few more modifications (nothing hard though) i currently have it as my main dash, and it works great... make sure you read all the documents that come with the package, and post back if you need more help...

You dont need enigmha, you should be able to play any regione

The enigmah video switcher does'nt patch the games it changes the video region setting on the xbox. There are a few games you'd need it for (some EA titles I think.)

If your tv can play both PAL and NTSC then yes. As long as the tv is kinda new you should be fine.

If your tv can play both PAL and NTSC then yes. As long as the tv is kinda new you should be fine. Some EA titles have a region protection on the games that checks the eeprom for region and video setting. Enigmah patches the eeprom to be set at either NTSC or PAL. I had the problem with Fight Night 2004 NTSC. Using Enigmah to change the region the game played perfectly. :01:

The version of Enigmah I have came in Xiso format, you can use a program like Craxtion to unpack the .iso and run it as an app from the HDD.

Has anyone done a tut on upgrading the HDD yet? I done mine a while back, I've now got a Western Digital 7200 RPM 120 gigger, its fappin fantastic.

When I get here:

[6. The screen should now go black and you are ready to set up your new dashboard. There should be a page that displays ltools and says "007: Agent Under Fire". Hit B. Go down and selelct "Install UDE". Press A to continue. Press UDE2 (You must have a NTSC xbox for this!). If you dont, hit A. This is where my video cuts off. But you can either choose XMX or EvoX as your new dashboard. I prefer EvoX, as do many others.]

When I try to install UDE2 it says "Can't find update.xbe"

Everything works fine up until then.

What should I do?

-Dolph

EDIT: If I find update.xbe somewhere can I just add it to your .zip file?
This xbox is ver1 and has never been on XBL...not sure of the dashboard...but it shouldn't matter with this exploit right?

add update.xbe to the package. Cannot install UDE."

Even when I add it to the package.

and when I rename unleashs xbe to xboxdash.xbe I reboot to a error 13 [dashboard error]

Is this evox install different than others? Where is the xbe that is used to load evox?

I'm going to try to put it in the evox folder next

Thanks

P.S. On a side note...when I rename the unleashx xbe to msdash.xbe it doesnt seem to do anything...

dolphumous

12-06-2004, 05:01 AM

Yeah that was it...

In case anyone else wants to use unleashx with this softmod you have to FTP unleashx's xbe to the /E/Dashboard/ folder...

Either rename your original EvoX dashbaord to something else or overwrite it with this Default.xbe

or are they already updated to the latest versions?

And also how would you know when it is done modding and when it is safe to turn off the xbox?
I heard they was an updated ltools but its not on xbins. The works perfectly fine how it is now though. I just softmodded 4 brand new xboxs today and yesterday using it.

The front LED should turn green when its finished. If you have a new xbox, the screen will mess up while installing. So dont worry about that.

What happened when you tried it? With v1.6 xboxs (the newest ones) when the mod is installing, the screen will turn all different colors and looks very messed up. I will make a video of the entire process soon.

But when the screen messes up, just let the xbox sit for up to 20 minutes, you should then see the front eject led flashing green. That means its done.

1.) Here's what happen when i tried it: When i turned on the Xbox with the memory card it didnt do anything, it just went right straight the regular Xbox screen. Then i tried loading the file with the game and it crashed which shows a screen that says "Service required Call customer Support." I've let it sit there for about 20 mins and nothing happen so i just turned it off. Maybe you could help me..

2.) With the newer Xbox versions (v1.6), would FTP be a little more difficult to use or the same?

3.) Would a 200 GB Western Digital HD be capable with the Xbox?

SingaBoiy

02-02-2005, 04:52 AM

1. You have to first save the gamesave to the xbox and load it from the xbox.

2. It doesnt matter.

3. I have used several WD 200 hds. Check the compatability chart to see if the model you are getting is compatible. It prob is cause most WDs are.

1.) When you said "save the gamesave to the xbox and load it from the xbox" do you mean start a new game and save the game file or transfer the game file (AgentUnder_BONDAUF) to the xbox?

2.) Some how i tried using FTP on the Xbox and it didnt work, click on the link for the error message.

3.) Would this process been way easier if i had an older version of Xbox?

1. Do not have a game in the drive, boot up the xbox, go to memory, select the controller, hit A to select the gamesave, select copy, select the xbox, its pretty easy.

2. You must not have set everything up right. Click the link for help in the FAQs (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?p=862334#post862334).

You can't copy the game file from the memory card to the HD because it only has an option of detele, it doesnt have an option to copy. Does this only effect the newer version of X-Box. Sorry for asking so much questions.
You must not be clicking the right thing.

And NO... this is not a symptom of new xboxs. I just used this to do 5 brand new xboxs a few days ago.

ofbz

02-05-2005, 08:04 AM

i you have 2 HDs, you can have the original one on an un-modded state (just how it came), and the other one modded...

when you wanna go on live, open the xbox, unplug the modded hd, plug the un-modded hd, and play live with no worries... when youre done, plug the modded hd...

if you have only the original hd.
back up E and C drives on your pc, uninstall the softmod, do a "clean up" and play on live...

when youre done, install the mod, and copy the backed up C and E drives to your xbox... not easy, i know... but its not that hard...

I tried ftp'ing into my xbox and it connected cause it showed the E: and other drives on my xbox. Well I'm using cuteftp and when I drag and drop my skins folder or any other folder into the xbox's E: drive it starts flashing at the top of cute ftp and it says Xfer is using current session and flashes back to connected right after. This happens through out the whole thing and at the bottom at the progress bar it says 0 the quickly flashes like 314.23 kb then it goes back down to 0. Also in the time left section it stays at 0 and my transfer rate is only like 8.00 kb so whats wrong here.

The files do go in the E: drive right.

There are emlators for xbox to play those consoles, try google or xbins to finding them. when you get them thet are like apps, but them in apps folder, and find some roms, and thats it.. personally i only tried out snes and it worked fine.

So I just ran the mod this morning and everything worked great. Thanks for the tip that I did not need an official Xbox memory card. One quick question about X box live do I need to back up everything and uninstall it. After I loaded Halo 2 into my dashboard it seemed to unload the evox dashboard. Also if I do need to back it up to make sure I don't get kicked off do I need to have auf game to re install the crack. Thanks again, this was the easiest guide I found; I will definitely be sharing it with everyone I know!

02-18-2005, 04:59 AM

SingaBoiy I commend you on your effort to enlighten us all with soft-modding, but the way you explained it in your "Soft Modding made easy" tutorial was that all you need is the AR, The Agent under Fire game, and the And the 007 game save. I followed your directions and it didn't work.

My Specs: K: 4036
D: 5960

NTSC (So I use UDE2) But I also tried the UDE (didn't work) :no:

**To save time, I used the correct game, AUF non platinum, did my transfer correctly from AR to XBOX. Booted up the game ,Loaded the "Mission" (without memory card)

What Happens: The screen goes black and the MXM (The matrix looking screen boots up) I continue the steps and I even get the screen at the end that tells me everything was successful (And I wait untill it tells me its ok to turn off my xbox). Turn off the xbox, I remove the game (AUF) and then restart the xbox. Where is the Evox screen as seen in your video? ;) All I get is the ERROR SCREEN 21 with all the languages.... EVERYTIME.

Then I don't figure out until later on (while reading pretty much every post in this thread) that some FTP operations have to be done. Why didn't you say this in your "Made easy Tutorial" If I had known it was more involved than what you advertised I would have never spend my money and time to drive 35 miles back and forth to get the last remaining AR in my county :angry: :( Its just not right, all the follow ups in your post after your Tutorial are in pieces that are difficult to put together.

Keep it real and give a full tutorial, its not as easy as you wrote it up to be thats why many users were having problems (I noticed from my reading).

You have to do IRC to get EvoX installer....but then again you need the media app ...but then you need the xbins.....and then you need itools which I assume came with the 007 save. Please revise you need to break this down step by step :unsure: This is so frustrating :angry: Please Help :helpsmili :helpsmili :helpsmili :helpsmili

02-18-2005, 12:05 PM

@Skullface - Use Metoo

@Chow22 - You make sure you send over the main XBMC folder. Has to be the one that contains "default.xbe" and some 20 other files/folders. If that folder is inside a folder, it will not load when the xbox does.

@Arden 05 - Error 21 doesnt have any real meaning. But in this case it is probably due to the main .xbe files being corrupt or not being signed right.

There have been a few posts that show how to fix it in this thread. This guide is step by step, as I have done it a million times before and know it like the back of my hand. Using this mod, you do not need to FTP to finish the mod and play burned games.

I have read about SlaYer's boot disc v2.6 fixes the problem, you can give that a go. Here (http://slayers.marauderer.net/SlaYers_EvoX_Auto-Installer_v2.6FINAL.exe) is the link for it. Pass is sevx2.6

arden_05

02-18-2005, 01:56 PM

Thanks for the reply SingaBoiy I almost lost it last night, but today is a new day and I feel much better. Ok with that said I have questions....

1) After a successful install and then error 21, how would Slayers installer V2.6 fix the .xbe problem because I think that's one of my problems. Meaning do I pop in the disk after a successful install? Where does the installer come in? Do I burn this Installer on to a dvd (its 158mb, I know it can't fit on my memory card, using AR). So please could you help me out on that (Thaks for providing the link as well :) )

2) What's the point of FTP? I just want to play burnt games and watch dvds without the device thats it. Should I buy a crossover cable? ( I work at Circuit City so I could pick one up). But In my case if FTP is not needed, I don't want it.

3) From my XBOX specs could you tell me the exact path to take (Meaning UDE or UDE2 -> then PBL 1.4.1 or PBL meetoo or - > etc.... (I believe I'm running version 1.0)

Thanks man I really appreciate your help, I just had to vent last night...I was trying all day to do this. :unsure: :)

Thank you for the help SingaBoiy. It is weird though when I copy over or create new folders for instance nothing shows up on the evox dashboard though if I switch to the mmx dashboard I can see them. I tried switch my ftp to non pasv mode which did not help. What am I doing wrong.

SingaBoiy

02-18-2005, 03:52 PM

@arden -
1. SlaYer's will rebuild any corrupt files in the C:\. This is supposed to fix the error 21. After extracting, you will have a 300+ MB ISO to burn. I suggest using a cd-rw cause you have better odds of it working then a cd-r.

2. To play dvds (w/o the dvd play back kit) you will need to FTP in to transfer Xbox Media Center. I am not aware if SlaYer's has XBMC on it. I do know it has dvd2xbox though. So you could burn XBMC to a disc and use dvd2xbox to copy it to your xbox.

3. I suggest using UDE2 > Metoo > M8

@Chow - Make is so all the files for XBMC are in this folder:

E/Apps/XBMC/ <-- all files in there

Chow22

02-18-2005, 04:22 PM

All the files are in the folder. XBMC runs great in the MMX dashboard but not in the evox dashboard. I would prefer to use the MMX dashboard though. Do I Need to edit the evox.ini file?

Quix? Never heard of it...could i get a brief description of what it is..and how it works? Is it filmiliar with FTPing?

Qwix? What is that?
Qwix is a very simple to use XBOX Remote File Management and ISO Creation Tool. That's a pretty complicated description, so let me try again. Qwix lets you do a variety of tasks VERY easily, and right from your PC. Have a bunch of ISO's sitting on your PC that you need to load onto your XBOX? Open up Qwix and use the ISO batch upload tool. Just tell it where your ISOs are, and where you want them to be on the XBOX, and then let it fire. It will automagically extract the ISO's out into properly named folders in your games directory. It pulls the game name from the ISO, and even let's you change it if that isn't what you want it to be called in the games menu.

Ok, that's fine and all, but what else can it do? Well, along that same path, it also creates ISOs for you. You select a game from your XBOX that you want to create an ISO from, and tell it where to save on your PC. You can even choose to crosslink files, which means that it will take common areas of the game and "cross" them so that they don't have to appear multiple times. That saves valuable diskspace, and can change a DVDR game into a CDR game!

Beyond that? Well, if you are also using Avalaunch, then you need to go into your avalaunch.xml and make sure that BOOST mode is enabled, because you are gonna love that. When combined with Avalaunch, Qwix has the ability to upload ISO's to your xbox at speeds much faster than you could achieve with a normal FTP client. Give it a try, compare it, and watch Qwix get the files there 3 times faster!

To sum it up, Qwix is the easiest way to FTP ur .iso files to ur Xbox. :01:

Download Qwix Here!!! (http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/)

I tried to backup a game but it didn't work. I tried to play a dvd but it didn't work( put in dvd then went to launch dvd and it brought me to the "you need the xbox dvd remote" to use screen).

Does Evox have to be configured in order to use?

What's the use of the Backup feature in the System Utilities menu? Can I back up games directly?

How do I play dvd's? (Do I have to Ftp the XBMC to my E: drive...then to Apps folder?)

Do I have the capability to play burnt games as of now? (Burnt games on dvds, not through ftp)

In terms of configuring the ftp connection to xbox...On the first page of the thread is your FTP tutorial...Seems very easy but the part when "clicking start and My network connections confuses me. Because when I click start I don't see that option on the Panel. (I have windows XP, if that matters...and a wireless connection, so my ethernet port isn't being used but is functional) Can you be more specific with the FTP setup....thanx

Sorry so many questions :blushing:

Let me know and thanxs for the tutorials :)

1. EvoX only needs to be configured to FTP.
2. Backup is to make a backup of your settings and what not.
3. To play dvds, you need either Xbox Media Center or Xbox Media Player. You can use SlaYer's to install it if you can FTP.
4. Yep, you can played burned games now. To backup "purchased" games, you need to FTP to your xbox and copy the contents of D:\ Then use Qwix to make an ISO and burn it.
5. Then go to My Computer and look over on the left in Other Places. It should have My Network Places.

SingaBoiy I'm having trouble FTP-ing :( I can't establish the connection to the Xbox. I followed your FTP tutorial but no connection. What should I do now? This is the last step...my computer isn't acting right. I'm not using the NIC card to connect to the internet so does that mean my NIC card is dormant? There is an exclamation point near on the networking symbol. So what should I do now?

I need it to burn the games I ftp'd out of the xbox. I only saved a couple of games on the Xbox HD because I'll eventually run out of space so I need to back the games up on dvd. Any tips on this? Is there anything I have to look out for or do to burn the games correctly? Thanx for all your help SB I really apprecaite it...after this last obstacle I should be fine...so If you could help me through I'll be done.

Use Qwix. Its a great all-in-one app. Just click create ISO then select the folder and the destination.

For ps2, the only other option besides modchips is Swap Magic. It works great. Its even better if your ps2 is the slim version. :D

anyways... singa. im about to softmod my friend's xbox this weekend... and he is gonna buy a hd for me to put it in his xbox....

i have a 250gb maxtor hd, i don't know what size is gonna be his. can i clone my hd to his hd no matter what size is his hd???

or maybe the question is... if i clone the hd, will it work on his xbox???

arden_05

03-08-2005, 11:38 PM

Singa as of today everything was going great but now I'm experienceing a problem with the softmod. When I play a game from either the HDD of the Xbox or a backup game, it plays for awhile then resets by itself. What does this mean? Should I reinstall the entire softmod? Let me know....

Edited: Singa I think its an IGR. It does this when I hold the L and R triggers down and and point L and R analog sticks to the right (all at the same time). How do I disable this? IGR is not "on" in the system Utilities Menu of Evox, so what do I do?

SingaBoiy

03-09-2005, 02:14 AM

Go to System Utils then settings. Turn off In Game Reset. FTP to your xbox and delete everything in the X, Y, and Z drives. Then go to the CACHE folder in the D:\ and delete everything in it.

arden_05

03-09-2005, 05:44 AM

Singa there was nothing in them (X,Y,D) but Z had a couple folders in there so I deleted them to. And this should solve the problem?

Ok I did the mod on my Xbox and everything went smooth no problems at all. Gave the tutorial to a friend to do his Xbox and something went wrong. Upon boot up it goes straight into error 21 with the foreign language screen. Is there anything that can be done or his Xbox dead?
Did you get to install the xploit, or does it show the error 21 screen when you load the save?

If it just does the eror 21 after yot installed the xplout and when you start up. Just start the 007 games again and try the xploit.

If it wont let you install the xploit, will work that out if it does.

jmo9669

03-12-2005, 02:25 AM

Ok he said he selected evox as his dashboard and during install the error 21 screen came up. Now every boot up with 007 game in tray or out of tray the error comes up. Can’t get to the MS dash or Evox. Any other suggestions?

sliverstorm

03-15-2005, 05:07 AM

Would it be possible to do the mechinstaller linux and put a linux distribution onto the dashboard, while your installer is there? or possibly, put linux on first, then use your installer?
seems logical, because teh dashboard is maintained...

03-15-2005, 09:49 PM

jmo9669, Have your friend boot the xbox by using the eject switch that should bring up the menu again and allow him to sort it (if I'm thinking of the same mod package anyways.)

An Error 21 refers to the problems with the dashboard (wrong version, files missing etc.) but its strange that he cant boot from a game, as the MS bios bypasses loading the dash if a xbox disc is in the drive. Does the Xbox boot with any other games?

Just out of interest, does he know what version xbox, dash and kernel he has?

1.) I have a problem with my soft-mod xbox, i done all the soft-mod and the Evo X screen shows when the Xbox turns on. But there are some games that will not work when i FTP it over to the Xbox, like for example Halo 2 and Ghost Recon 2. They will load up to the title screen and when you press start it will not proceed. These 2 aren't the only 2 games, there are some more too. Please help!

2.) Which drive does the X-box saves its game files into?

Brownstone80

03-18-2005, 01:34 AM

1. Clear out your cache folder.

2. I don't know where the xbox saves are located.

03-18-2005, 09:12 PM

The xbox saves game file in the "E:" drive/partition.

this is from the post on installing a new hard drive:
Items Needed:
Modded Xbox (ready to FTP)
Blank cd-r/rw
Torx screwdriver (sizes T-20 and T-10, T-15 is optional)
xboxhdm_v1.9
A nice big harddrive

here it states modded xbox now does this mean modded xbox with a mod chip or softmodded with no chip.

2 posts after the 1 that gives instructions on installing a new hard drive SingaBoiy has another post thats say:

I have another guide coming for installing a new hdd on a softmodded xbox.

I will add images later when I have more time.

Lots of credit comes out to the guys at xbox-scene that found/created these tools

ofbz

03-22-2005, 01:43 AM

yes... by "modded box" he meant any type of mod, as long as you can ftp...

you're getting confused... the rest of the posts after the first ones (the one with the guides) are old posts. the guides on the first 2 posts are being updated all the time... don't pay attention to the rest of the posts... ok

It says "aquiring network address" Then after that it says "the connection has limited or no connectivity" It won't work with the ftp. Can someone help!!

Hey, first of all just wanted to tell SingaBoiy that this thread has been a great help to me thus far.

I've gotten as far as getting into my xbox via ftp, and have just splurged for a hard drive.

My problem is I just started looking over the procedure, as well as others at xbox-scene, and all of them seem to require that you hook up the hard drives directly to the IDE cables in your computer in order to format them (etc.) I was wondering how I can do this since I only have a laptop? I was going to buy an enclosure, but I don't think I can boot straight off of USB. Does anyone know of any tutorials out there or else know what I should do to install the HD given my situation?

Thanks very much in advance.

i finally did this mod today it works great.took me a bit to figuire out that i needed xbmc to play dvd's and a little bit to get the ftp set up.for those of you using a hub to set up you r ftp if you cant seem to get it to connect with static ip set to yes just set it to no and save and then reboot the xbox and let it auto detect.as soon as i did this my connection set up almost on its own.so do this and when you choose an ip for setting the ftp just type in the 1 that the hub gives you automatically.

"edit" almost forgot to thank you for the great work on the tutorial but i do have one question that maybe someone can answer.do i need a modchip to install the SlaYers_EvoX_Auto-Installer_v2.6FINAL or can you perform this install with just the softmod.i wanted to be able to rip directly from the xbox dvd drive instead of going thru the hastle of burning iso onto pc then ftp to xbox.

"Invalid system disk
Replace the disk,and then press any key

i tried to burn to cd and dvd with the same error.any help would be greatly appreciated.

i burned the dvd with alcohol120% and burned the cd with nero.

"edit" never mind i think i got it.it was the XBMC in my E folder that was messing up the disk not allowing it to become a boot disk.burning disk right now with all my Apps except XBMC.will let you know if it works.

"edit2" ok that didnt work i actally had to delete the games folder and the apps folder for it to become a boot cd but it is formatting as i type this so im on my way.

Anyway my question is this, my friend has a chip-modded xbox and I don't. Is it possible to take out his HDD ghost it to another and then put it in my xbox?

Thanks for any advice.

first your xbox would need to be modded,softmod or chipped.
next i dont think you can because your friends hdd has their eprom on it
you would be better off to just ftp from 1 xbox to the other.

Hello, I installed the UDE2, M8, and Evox everything is working good

Two Issuses I have are

1.) When I load Enter the Matrix I hear auido but no video show up and then I think it locks up. I tried playing around with the differnet settings for NTSC.

Anyone know how to fix this no sure if i use a differnt bios load if that would help. I also cleared all my cache this did not help anything.

2.) When you hit the reboot button it reboots but then it hang on the Xbox Splash Screen

Hi I`m new to this forum and I would like to soft mod my xbox.
OK,I have downloaded bondauf and I need the original game and the AR.
I have only two noob questions:In this very good and easy tut I get confused about two things(dont wanna kill my xbox,lol).Where does the original game come in place,you install the soft through your AR,insert the games disc after that?dont see it anywhere...Second,my xbox is pal and I cannot select ude2 according to the tut,so my xbox cant be modded?Or is ude(1)the correct way to mod,then?

By the way my xbox is a bit older,build november 2003.
