Soft-modding Your Xbox The Easy Way!

[|F1|]

...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....

The reason you need the original Agent Under Fire game (meaning the non-platinum version), is because the original game has a loophole in it. This loophole lets you install the new dashboard.

After you copy the game save (from first post) on to your Xbox hard drive, you load that save using the Agent Under Fire game. If all goes well, a ltools menu should show up. Then, you can install the new bios.

Hope this helped. The reason I didn't answer the PAL xbox questions is because mine is NTSC.

All right thanx dude thats clear now.Anyone here able to answer my question concerning the PAL issue and I`d be brave enough to try it out(if I get all thee stuff needed that is...).

[Akumara]

After googling it, http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-93.html popped up. According to that (though I might have read it wrong), the Agent Under Fire and Splinter Cell exploit doesn't work on the newest PAL xboxes (1.6).

This is my first post on this forum and I want to take the time to say thanks for all the help through the last 6 months! I have been using this thread for a long time. And I have modded over 45+ boxes. THANK YOU!

Now on to my problem. Last night I started soft modding a BRAND NEW xbox. It is a NTSC box. It was manufactured in feb. The mod went fine I believe, I couldn't tell because I lost video for the first time ever while installing EVOX. Anyways I turned it on and I have the EVO running just fine. I went to install a 120GB HD that was compatable! I started ftping all the neccasary files like normal ( i have done this plenty of times). As I got to the backup_linux folder with c.tar.gz zip file it froze at 95% while transfering. The xbox complete freezes everytime I do it? I have reinstalled the xbox 6 times and the same thing. Can someone help me out. I would appreciate it very much. You can reach me at [email protected] if you have MSN IM!! Thank you again!!!

EDIT---I also have other softmodded xbox laying around. Can I just use one of them to upgrade the HD in the new xbox? Or with the bios files be different?

[chucky_digital]

I wrote a post and no one really replied to it so I was just wondering if some one could give me a heads up On if I can soft mod a v1.6 xbox and how big of a hard drive I could install in it. I downloaded XBOX_Soft-Modding_With_Guide_(FileSharingTalk.com)_PROPER this already has the evox dashboard in it right I just would really rather not hurt my xbox so I can use it and want to get everything straight before attempting to mod it I check this site about once a day so any help I can get would be great

[Cuda69]

Question at the beginning of this thread the guide says to drag the entire zip file onto your memory card. Does this mean unzip and drag the files onto the card or the .zip file itself?

[BR2004]

Question please???
Do I have to soft mod my xbox to be able to ftp to it or is that something that can be done without soft moding it? Just curious while I'm waiting for my AR...

Thanks

[spiek87]

I followed this tut all the way and read it like 20 times i bet your sick of hearing this. but sadly I'm not a noob just stuck in a maze of noobs who got me confused.
K I cant get on XBL, I followed a tut but used Splinter Cell.
I can FTP to my xbox. I can mod the Maps.
BUT I cant get on Xbox Live can someone help.
I do have a secret account that don't matter if it gets banned, and yes i used a crap box because it loads the downloaded maps and not the ones on the disc. Yes I have Read All the Post and Replies but I just get More Confused.
If it helps I'm using UnleashX and used the Splinter Cell save.
You can IM me at
MSN: [email protected]
AIM: cdoggspike
I'm logged on like 24 hours a day so just IM me and ill get your message, it might take a while for a reply, because I'm only the for 15 Min's a time. but PLEASE HELP ME
The dip shit who gave me the tut couldn't answer my Questions so I hope You can, or at least direct me in the right Direction
Thanks

If you don't get what I'm saying I CANT GET CONNECTED TO XBOX LIVE

[Mountaindew]

WEll ive used the save that youv given with the ar install and ive gotton as far as installing ude2 but right there it tells me thatmbers are missing.

[SingaBoiy]

Stick in a new game that has xbox live enabled. It should ask for you to update, select yes then go back and softmod.

I found it does this on the oldest version of the xbox, says its missing files. Update it and everything will be good :)

[cybershot1]

if i softmod, does it come with xbmc?
if i get a new HD, must i keep the originial M$ one? can i play online with the new hardrive if i have the original say....halo2? i want to get a new bigger and badder HD but im afraid i wont be able to play live anymore

when softmodding, do i need anything from #xbins ?

[atl88]

i dont understand setup 2 how do i find my dhcp and stuff?

[atl88]

i under stand every thing but the setup 2 sorry if thats an often said question

[|F1|]

if i softmod, does it come with xbmc?
No (read below)

when softmodding, do i need anything from #xbins ?

Using this tut:
You don't necessarily need anything from #xbins, but softmodding would be pretty useless (in my opinion). You can get different apps such as XBMC (Xbox Media Center), emulators, game backup apps, and other cool things.

I am pretty sure there are other softmod packs with apps combined, but this tutorial has just installs a new bios.

Hi Guys: I'm a newbie and a lazy one at that. :lookaroun So my questions are...

#2 Does my PC have to run windows XP to use action replay?

#3 Can i buy an already modded xbox and use a USB Adapter (Female) to go from PC to XBOX to modd a game?

#4 Can i just pay one of you to do this for me? lol ;)

#1: To softmod? No.

#2: You have to have Windows 98 or higher

#3: Maybe, but FTP'ing would be easier I think.

#4: It's really not that hard, but you can buy a premodded xbox with modchips and bigger harddrives. Since you already have one, it would save a lot of money. It only takes like 10 minutes to softmod.

Hello everyone,

***
edit: a minute after this post, I ran itools again and pressed a button other than "A" and now the xbox is in the process of installing the stuff! and the linux penguin is in the top left of the tv screen...and there are messages that backups of stuff are being made...the stuff I deleted to fit the zip on the AR card are reported as missin....IE...the fonts for UDE1...I hope it don't affect stuff
***

Much respect to SingaBoiY and Agent Smith...Singa for starting everything and Agent Smith for his perseverance. It's amazing that it has been more than 2 years since this started and you guys are still active and helping people out.

I'm really trying to follow in your footsteps guys, but I'm so stuck. I've been working at this for 2 weeks and really tried to follow the steps.

After finding this post by chance, I went and bought this xbox, 14 used games, 4 used controllers, a used xbox dvd player set, a new Action replay package, cd-rws for slayer's stuff,...and I'm just stuck...slayer's ISO after I burn it with nero doesn't work...I've tried BenQ dvd+r, and philips CD-rw

Here's what I've done because I hit ERROR 21 right after pressing the A button on my xbox controller at the grey colored itools screen.


#1.downloaded the Agent underfire zip from the link at the first page of this post
#2.Used Qwix to extract the update.xbe from slayer's 2.6 iso.
#3.made the update.xbe.zip file...added this file to the "files" folder in the zip from #1
#4.moved the "updated" agent under fire.zip onto my Action replay card after deleting the x2-4981.gz, ude1-fonts, and ude1-patches.tgz files in order to fit it onto my empty action replay 8 mb card...it finally fit..
#5.the xmx "matrix-like" screen comes up and the grey "Itools" screen comes up...some rap music plays (maybe it's stored music on my xbox?) and as soon as I press the "A" button...the error 21 screen comes.

My xbox serial: 4208167 22702 ...supposedly, this means my xbox was made in the 27th week of 2002 in mexico.

the system info shows: Kernal: 4034 Dash:5960

I'm guessing this means v.1.0 xbox?

Anyone who can advise me please feel free. I will be very grateful.

my yahoo messenger ID is justinv2005
my email is [email protected]

posting here will be great as well.

Looking fwd to a successful mod and to getting some advice. I know this error 21 means nothing specific, but that my xbox system files could be incomplete or corrupted...I am the 2nd user of this xbox, so I don't know what the previous dude did with it. However, it plays retail games and movies just fine.

I have a GameShark Dongle plus a microsoft memory card, I cna't seem to get the zip file to drag into the AR software. I have all the zip files I need but nothing I seem to do will work. The AR software is not recognizing the card, I've used USB reader and settings are correct in the AR software for the dongle. The GameShark software recognizes the card is there any zip files for Mechassault that I can use the GameShark will acknowledge? I have SID3 and SID2.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking of using the direct hardrive method.
Thanks

i recently bought a bran new xbox too play halo 2 online, which i have done succesfully, i have since then however ran a soft mod on my xbox in order to play a few emus on it, the tutorial i used was the 007 saved game trick which stated that as long as i booted games directly (ie turning the console on with the game ready to play) i would beable to play online, however i can not, it doesnt say im banned, it just says troubleshooting, any help?

Your xbox is banned from live. I think its just your xbox, not your account. (I did the same thing but haven't checked, thank god I have two). You have to uninstall the softmod before you go on live. For the green with white that is all scrambled, thats okay. That happens to me (I have a 1.6 box too), you just have to wait until the lights blink green, then you shut off. The blinking green light on the xbox means it is okay to shut off. For getting the dashboard back, try softmodding again, then uninstalling it (again, wait for the lights to blink green). That might give you your dashboard again. But if your xbox is banned from xbox live you might as well just leave the softmod on.

[chucky_digital]

Welp I soft modded my box its pretty cool stuff! I have evox as the dash and I downloaded xbox hd maker now I just need to figure out how big of a hdd I can install and ill be cooking with gas

[worfking]

AR is $30 ;)

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.
i was at the local video store and found AR for $9.99 it was mispriced and they had to sell it to me at that price boy were they mad

[deeznuts123545]

Can I use the Action Replay MAX to softmod this way or do I need to buy the regular Action Replay?

[chucky_digital]

Probably, since they both accept action replay gamesaves.

[bdb38865]

Okay I don't know if this has been asked so here goes
Can I still system link my softmodded xbox to an unmodded xbox to play a game. Like a 8 player Halo 2 match or do I have to uninstall the soft mod. If I can do it. How?

[n18]

connet both xbox thru an etherent cable not sure if you need crossover or patch cable. One start a game, and the other connect to it. Simple.

[bdb38865]

So I still can good. I already know how to hook it up to another system I just wanted to know how if I had to configure it differently because it's softmodded sorry for the confusion. Anyway I have one more question. Where are the game saves located in the softmodded xbox? I've looked everywhere in the E drive but I can't fid them. I want to transfer them to my computer so I can upgrade my harddrive.

[babybeercan]

I just modded my Xbox today and I was wanting to make sure that 100% without a doubt that you can use Xbox live with the original copy of the game, because a guy at the local game store said that softmods can be caught on xbox live and they will ban you from live and fine you .. so is it safe if you have the original copy of the game .. i only use live for halo 2 and i own the game so i want to know .. thanks

[heydockyle]

Alright "gus", you have 12 posts. All of which are in this thread. Asking the same thing a ton doesn't help. What does help is posting your question in a legible way, that way some one who knows the answer can help you.

[gus738]

[|F1|]

Did you even read my post? Instead of hard to read posts like:


meaning what ? f1 any suggestions? i have a frekin BLUE HALO 2 CRYSTAL XBOX super rare!!!

How about


What do you mean? Any suggestions |F1|? I have a freaking blue halo 2 xbox, which is very rare!

Does anything work? Can you run a game?

[allexsimmons]

same happened to me,, anything we can do?

[gus738]

can anyone help me or not? please

[suprafreak6]

gus u still never clarified your problem

[|F1|]

gus u still never clarified your problem

Obviously he hasn't read my post(s), so he probably didn't read the guide. I wouldn't bother.

[gus738]

in simple terms . how do i delete all the softmod off my xbox ? do i need to go to itools then have the 007 game inside while doing c restore?

[sofsckd]

I get this error when trying to do this softmod

Correct update.xbe has not been found. Either install das 4920, 5659 or 5960 or add the update.xbe to the package. Cannot install UDE

Anyone else get this??

[sofsckd]

So I got a hold of slayer and extracted the update.xbe. I compressed it and copied it to the right place. I like others was not able to copy the newly zipped udata file to the 8mg card because it was to big. I tried removing some ude1 stuff and went with the ud2 install but when linux ran it was looking for files from ude1. I am going to try again with the UDE2 stuff removed and then see what I get.

[sofsckd]

It seems that when the linux kernel is done loading and inflating update.xbe any files regardless of if they are used or not are deemed missing and the installation aborts.

Is this the expected behavior??

This is pissing me off now, will going out and buying an official MS card get the job done. I would hate to spend more money and not have this work.

[sofsckd]

OMFG

So now I remove the 1 bios, creat a text file the same name, gzip pack it all and copy it to the mem card then all looks good going futher than before and BAMMMMM

Original xbox fonts not found in fonts directory on xbox C-partition????
Do you have dashboard verstion 4920 or above?
Cannot install a patched dashboard without the fonts-folder.

Why the fuck did the tutorial tell me I didnt need to worry about what dashboard I was using and now Im getting this fucking messege.

How am I going to get that new dashboard in there, install slayer 2.6???

[sofsckd]

[gus738]

i want just to restore my xbox to the original way it was

[IcePancake]

Hey, heres a good troubleshooter.
About a year ago I modded my xbox with evoX and everything worked fine.
I had about 4 games installed and thought it'd be better to get a 150GB harddrive.
So I used Xbox HD Maker and everything went fine.
After a while, and after I let a retarded and annoying kid play on my xbox, it wouldn't load the Microsoft Xbox Dashboard.
So the games I have put on after the problem dont work (because it wont autoload and launch because the original xbox files are messed up.)
I kept my old xbox hardrive, which is modded.
How should I fix the problem?

My Idea:
Should I...
Delete everything off the 150GB harddrive and FTP all the files from my old one to it, then reload all the games which I have backed up?

Please help me out, thanks.

[suprafreak6]

Burned DVD movies do work if you have an app like Xbox Media Center, I don't think it works with just the dashboard.

[suprafreak6]

[buzby44]

I noticed the pinned topic was alittle outdated. This guide will cover soft-modding your box, installing a new hdd and FTPing movies and games to your xbox hdd. I will go with the 007 hack with this one. This is still alot like the oher pinned topic.

You do this at your own risk. Although this is pretty much idiot-proof, I take no responsiblity if you produce a $150 paperweight.


The Cheap/Easy Way of Soft-modding Your Xbox

Tools needed:

007 - Agent Under Fire
http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/950123b.jpg
I got mine for $8 used from Gamestop (http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=950123)
(You can aso use Mech Assault and Splinter Cell but those arent covered in this tut). You MUST have the original version not the Platinum!!!


Action Replay
http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/801587b.jpg
This comes with a memory card so there is no need in getting an official M$ one.


AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip
I just changed this so its all set for you to drop onto your xbox and load. You can get it right here (http://urlcut.com/AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip)


Thats it! And it works on all versions of the xbox out right now. No more worrying if you have the 4920 dash. And you dont have to go out a buy a Microsoft memory card.

Now for the modding:

1. Make sure your AR (Action Replay) software is installed on your pc. Plug your USB Link Cable that your got from your AR into your pc. Pop your memory card into the USB Link Cable. Wait for XP to read it and give you the ok.

2. Download AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip

3. Run your AR software. Drag the entire zip folder to the AUF folder on your memory card. Should take some time.

4. Boot up your xbox with no disc inside. Go to Memory section and choose to copy the large (around 500 blocks) 007 file to your harddrive.

5. Back out and start up AUF w/o your memory card. Choose load missing and select to load from harddrive.

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.

7. It will now install. This may take upto or more then 30 min.

You are finished modding! :beerchug: Now you can save games, movies, pics, apps, emu's and more on your hdd and have no need for discs. You can play burned games if you run out of hdd space and dont wanna get a new one.


FAQs
Q. Can I use the Platinum version of Agent Under Fire?

Q. Can I play on Xbox Live with a soft-modded xbox?
A. Yes! You have to boot directly to the disc when the xbox gets started. To do this, insert your game and turn off the xbox then turn it back on.

Q. Can I play burned games on XBL (Xbox Live)?
A. No, not unless you want your xbox to get banned.

EDIT: I just went though and edited this to make it easier and more understandable.

[goajappixbox]

I now of a cheaper way to softmod your xbox just using HDM v1.9
Get your dashboardfiles from the usual places( dashboard versions and hacks versions depend on your xbox kernel, you can check the kernel in the system info of you original xbox) put your hacks and dashboard in the C folder in the linux folder of HDM. make a burnable iso with the makeiso.bat file in HDM. unlock your stock HD bu pullen the DVD IDE cable and booting your xbox. the xbox will give a frag error nr. 12. your HD is now unlocked and will stay that way. next up, disconnect all the HD's on your pc, you dont want anything to crash. Boot HDM. If HDM has booted, the bios has checked for hd's on the primary master(the only IDE cable this will work on) and found none... now you quickly pull the HD IDE cable of your xbox and plug the HD in your pc's primary master. choose option 1. now linux will check for HD's connected to your primary master. it will give notice of the presence of the HD. what you want to do now is rebuild your xbox c drive, choose this option. your allmost done. linux will now format your existing c drive and bring it back to a virgin state. you can use xbrowser to ftp the files recquired for the mod to your c-drive. Dont forget to lock the HD again before you put the HD back in your xbox. if averything goes well you will now be able play backed up games ripped to an iso with Xiso or Qwix. install xbmc and you can watch avi's etc. goodluck, remeber this is riscy, it can fail and if it does you need a chip to fix your xbox.

[goajappixbox]

something like this

[suprafreak6]

that post should be deleted up there it doesnt seem well tested

[h121589]

that post should be deleted up there it doesnt seem well tested
lol yea it should be deleted

[goajappixbox]

wat did you have a problem with? i cant ftp for my life over here

shouldnt my nic know that the xbox is connected to it i cant see any sign that it is connected


>>>>>> you need a switched HUB, a router or just a switch to FTP with your xbox. if you dont have one of these, the ftp will probably not work

[goajappixbox]

no-one familiair with xbins here?
everything u need for the xb, from tunneling software till TSOP flashers till mediaplayers apps and programs. distributions and everything.
i cant give the link here.

[goajappixbox]

Hey, heres a good troubleshooter.
About a year ago I modded my xbox with evoX and everything worked fine.
I had about 4 games installed and thought it'd be better to get a 150GB harddrive.
So I used Xbox HD Maker and everything went fine.
After a while, and after I let a retarded and annoying kid play on my xbox, it wouldn't load the Microsoft Xbox Dashboard.
So the games I have put on after the problem dont work (because it wont autoload and launch because the original xbox files are messed up.)
I kept my old xbox hardrive, which is modded.
How should I fix the problem?

My Idea:
Should I...
Delete everything off the 150GB harddrive and FTP all the files from my old one to it, then reload all the games which I have backed up?

Please help me out, thanks.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HDM v1.9 !!!!!!!
Delete your 150GB HD
Make a backup from your modded stockHD
fill the linux directory of HDM
Use makeisowin.bat to create an iso
make bootable disc
Unlock 150 GB
Put the 150 GB on your primary master.
disconnect other HD devices.
Boot HDM
follow the instructions
be sure you eeprom or HDkey is stored in the bootable iso, HDM will search for this to lock it after you have modded you new HD.
if anyone has a question concerning modding an xbox whatsoever, I may be ablo to help you too, just like supafreak6 ;-)

[suprafreak6]

i really havent answered many questions lol

[skchadh19]

Can you use Halo 2 to install the softmod or do you have to use 007 agent under fire??????? Because I got Halo 2 .....

[skchadh19]

how about that softmodding

[suprafreak6]

nope cant use halo 2. only certain games that have "glitches" in them and allow the loader to run. The known games are listed in the guide (007, mechassault, splintercell)
all must be originals not platnum, remember that

[skchadh19]

hello

[skchadh19]

thank you well i guess im gonna have to get 007 agent under fire

[skchadh19]

one more thing after you install the softmod can it be used while playing Halo 2, you know like getting super speed and unlimited ammo and auto fire that you can use on system link and xbox live????????

[suprafreak6]

xbox live doesnt work, and please dont double post just edit a post. That is called a trainer, yes those work, but only certain one work with systemlink
i cant tell you more than that (due to board rules)

[Spider_dude]

ive bought and xbox and a memory card and usb adaptor, i cant transfer the files over to the card cos it says the card needs to be formatted first, when i format it the xbox doesnt read it. what can i do? i didnt buy an action replay cos the store didnt sell them, i bought some pish game own brand memory card, adaptor and controller.

[suprafreak6]

i prefer action replay just order it online i got mine for like 10$ somewhere

[Spider_dude]

that doesnt help me. my pc recognises the controller and the memory card as a mass storage device except it wont let me copy the james bond exploit over to the card without formatting it to fat32. i want a program or driver which allows me to copy it over without formatting it first.

[suprafreak6]

get the action replay software

[Spider_dude]

the action replay software doesnt recognise the card. it doesnt matter now, i've ordered the action replay from t'internet.

[suprafreak6]

good job

[Spider_dude]

brilliant guide, modded it in 15 minutes using ude1 on my pal xbox and an action replay, which arrived in the post today.

[suprafreak6]

owe your new softmodded box to klb and all the people that created it...:lol:
i dno what else to tell you but have fun

[dasone]

Cant I use my modded xbox and transfer this save to my psp, and then use the auf and my psp as the memory card for softmodding my friends xbox?

[skchadh19]

hello

[skchadh19]

fuck you supeafreak fagg you can burn in hell for telling me what to do you ass fucking fagg

[suprafreak6]

no offense but are you joking?
have you noticed that this is the size of a xbox memory card at minimum
http://media.teamxbox.com/faq/memory_card.jpg
and this is the psp memory stick is this big
http://www.sony-psp-review.com/images/hardware/memorystickproduo2gb.jpg
two completly different formats
but you can use a modded xbox to transfer the save to a memory card therefore cutting out the need of action replay

hope it helps

[silent h3ro]

fuck you supeafreak fagg you can burn in hell for telling me what to do you ass fucking faggCalm down, jeez. It was ur own fault for fucking up whatever u did wrong.

[swiftdriver]

worked beatifully i hope this can be done with 360 eventually thx a million yo..:D

[suprafreak6]

now why cant you be more like swiftdriver skchadh19 i think u deserve a ban for like a month but hey thats my opinion

[ZeRoJRg]

just wondering if this works with the mechassault that came with xbox live a while back

[suprafreak6]

mechassualt one yes
but make sure it isnt a platnum hit ive had some people buy platnum then tell me i didnt tell them so just heads up

[Damnatory]

Q. Help me!!! I have a new xbox (1.6) and the screen goes green and other colors when the softmod begins.
A. That is normal for v1.6 xboxs, just let it go til you see the eject led flashing.
What do I do then? Press the eject button?

EDIT: Done!

Thanks SingaBoiy! Took me all of 10 minutes, and now I have a beautifully modded Box :D You rock.

[suprafreak6]

yup its even cooler when you put a nice 300 gig harddrive in there with a new case and neons, im sure you will get to that in a while just like i did

[Damnatory]

yup its even cooler when you put a nice 300 gig harddrive in there with a new case and neons, im sure you will get to that in a while just like i did

That's definatly an idea, but I'm sure I'll just burn games for quite a while... Until I can spare the money for a 200GB seagate for it...

The first thing I'm going to do though, burn all my games, then sell the originals to Blockbuster. :lol:

I can't seem to get any of my burns to work on this...
I grabbed an ISO from a newsgroup, and burned it. However, most people say not to burn faster than 2x, but my drive won't allow me to burn slower than 4x...

I keep getting the same error when trying to "Launch DVD", however the originals work just fine...

"There's a problem with the disc
you're using. It may be dirty or
damaged."

Anyone had this problem?

[suprafreak6]

might be your drive or just the iso it self try some different variations

[Damnatory]

Well I went researching into this at the xbox-scene site, and I've achieved that I have a phillips drive in my xbox, but I don't know if that is the problem or not...

I was able to get 1 burn to work, but it was of a different game. Gun, was the only one that worked, and I'm sort of thinking it is just because the ISO was so small... I tried burning the new matrix game : Path of Neo it's a 4.3GB ISO, and it hangs right after I "Launch DVD". The other one that didn't work was also a 4.3GB ISO and it just tells me it's either dirty or damaged, however, Gun was only a 2GB ISO, and it worked...

This ever happen to anyone, or even make sense to anyone?


try some different variations
What do you mean? Please explain.

[suprafreak6]

well it could be the disc type you are using but phillips is a decent drive, it could have just been the iso for the game that doesnt work, try ftping it to your harddrive to play

[Damnatory]

try ftping it to your harddrive to play
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/icons/icon8.gif No thanks.. I've only got the original 8GB HDD at the moment and Halo2 is taking up half of that... Cant afford another HDD at the moment, otherwise I would.

Something I've noticed, XBox's are fucking picky! I burned an ISO like 6 times, all coasters, then I rebooted and burned again, and it worked...

[suprafreak6]

lol

i dont know what to say

[Spider_dude]

i tried modding my mates xbox today and it didnt work. think i'm gonna pm singaboiy as he knows the answers.

[Damnatory]

Did you ever get it working Spider?

[suprafreak6]

yeah spider atleast state your problem before you contact klb hes a busy guy nowadays with his gf and all

[silent h3ro]

Yea he has been busy lately...havent talked to him for months.

[Spider_dude]

state my problem so you can say this and boost your post count?


lol

i dont know what to say

[Damnatory]

Well whatever the problem was, was it resolved? Just curious...


And, btw: I know it's probably not wise to try any burned games on xbox live, but will the originals still work on live?

[scott_pd]

Quick question without trawling through all the pages. Do i need to transfer the games to the hardrive? Or can i burn the ones i download to DVD and play them that way?

[Damnatory]

Yes you can play burned games on DVD's, that is within the first 5 posts...
However there is a guide to installing another HardDrive in this thread so that you have the availability to rip to your drive as well. If you can afford a new HDD I would suggest doing it that way, as it is easier than lugging tons of DVD's around when you go places, and they tend to load faster that way too. Plus you don't have to worry about buying DVD's or burning coasters either. :D

i think it said in the tut that you can play live by booting the game before evox loads (if legit) but then i read in another post that xbox live fixed the probelm and now it just doesnt work but it doesnt ban you

i find it pointless to even try

and jaigandhi who cares about postcount i was just trying to help out before u contact better people, if it was something we could solve then we would.

[zackb4]

this isnt even close to the easiest way to soft mod a xbox, and you make it ftping harder than it sounds. You dont need a cross over cable you just need it hooked up like normal and get flash fxp.

[suprafreak6]

then write ur own guide nooblar

[gus738]

yo well i m back again srry that i been rude to all of you yes f1 im sorry. but now i need to fix my xbox like it works but i have to adust things before i play it. in other words it doesnt properly work..

[gus738]

ok so this is my problem. i instaled ltools. i tryed removing it properly by going to mxm and it didnt work so i went directly ms dash memroy and erased it all and instaled softmod inster deluxe 2.0. now the xbox was workin even though i did that but it stil loaded the evo x dash from ltools and i didnt like it so on sid 2.0 it has file explore and i went to e drive and went to a file called biosld (bios loader) and i did copy c drive before i installed sid .. but all i want to do is to erase all my traces of my ltools ... I JUST WANT TO BURN GAMES INTO HDD . so what ever way is easier .. hdd upgrade mod chips or just reinstall ... please guys anything that u can think of please let me know. [email protected]... and ther is no and i mean ther is NO button configuration or magical boot disc or xbox disc that re installs..

[suprafreak6]

lol magical boot disc

i recommend the hddupgrade if your going to backup games to your harddrive

[gus738]

emo kid.. so what u think i should do ? based on what u heard of my problems? all i need to know is how to remove ltools. or what is the biosld items i that i should put to have a sussful boot. or how to erase everything and have it like new??? hdd upgrade sounds good but it sounds hard , i want the best way.. i dont care about xbox live.. so that is not an issue.

[gus738]

hey i got a 200gb maxtor 7200rpm 8mb cache... hdd brand new ... how do i make it readable to xbox ?

[suprafreak6]

follow the directions on the first page, pretty simple steps

[gus738]

so that is about the only way i can have a new from scarch made hdd? do i realy need the eeprom? i mean i did softmoded the xbox so i changed the bios and the dash.. so it can read unsigned signitures so why would i need to lock the hdd using the eeprom? I DONT CARE ABOUT XBOX LIVE.. so what is the easy fastest way .. or the best way? i would say the easiest.. because i gotta return this game on tues .. and i ahve the hdd already n everything.. CAN U EXPLAIN TO ME IN SIMPLE TERMS OF WHAT I NEED TO DO.. like for example.. ok to upgrade hdd u need to grab the eeprom in the e drive back/ms or what ever.. then drago it to a folder called " " ... and then burn it to a media cd dvd .. then leave it inside pc .. then put 1 hdd on the pc then enter this then this or this then there presto !! new hdd .. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THE PART WHERE I LEAVE THE CD IN PC THEN I TURN ON XBOX WAITNG TO GET UNLOCKED THEN POP IN THE XBOX STOCk hdd and then put the new hdd??? that is where i am lost.. OR AM I CONFUSING MYSELF WITH HOTSWAP? and isnt there another way to make this hdd ? of course i have to use xboxhdm1.9 but any other way?

[Blue-]

I tried the tutorial but when I start installing the screen turns green and other colors, so I wait until my ejectbutton gives me the green sign.

When I than trie to boot my XBOX I get the black screen with green text and a large white 13.

The installation takes about 3mins.
Anyone has an ID how to fix this?

[silent h3ro]

Does Live work with a soft modded Xbox?

[Blue-]

It does with a legal game and a live account. (as far as I know)

[suprafreak6]

not any more gam3guy i think they got an update that has a check but hey i dno

[Blue-]

Anyone has a ID to fix my problem?

Want to softmod my xbox badly. ^^

[ob123454321]

soft modding does that mean that I can like run really fast in halo 2 and jump high or is that just playing copied games and movies i need an answer and if that is what it is, intructions plz:)

[suprafreak6]

okay instructions are on first page and softmodding is being able to run homemade software (homebrew) and unsigned games (backups of games) what you are thinking of is a trainer or a hack that can be run if you have a softmodded xbox

[ob123454321]

:blink:

[ob123454321]

ok so how do i do the other thing with really high jumping and stuff like that

[ob123454321]

u there or not

[suprafreak6]

please dont constantly posting like that on this forum its not good for us and its really annoying

you have to get a trainer that allows you to do those things
i suggest xbox-scene.com
they are really good over all site on what your looking for

[silent h3ro]

u there or notIt's only been 20 mins since your last post. :dry:

[suprafreak6]

really it was like intervals of 2 and 20 sometimes responses take hours just calm down and chill

Sorry, only read the first few sentences... just looks too unreadable at 2:08am. :P

So you went to MS dash and deleted the softmod? :blink: You could have uninstalled it by loading ltools back up. But that doesnt matter if you wanna upgrade/change the hd.

The hd must be in the pc when you boot the xbox hd maker tool. Make sure you are positive you have a backup of the eeprom before you do anything. I cant stress how important this file is. :lookaroun

@kokmonger ;)

You should know that the update a while back has eliminated any chance of getting on Live. I think it says that in the FAQS. :rolleyes:
EDIT: well it does now :lol:

[SingaBoiy]

@Blue-

Error code 13:

Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.

Can you do anything with your xbox? Even just boot straight to a game. Or are you stuck at that screen no matter what?

[suprafreak6]

singaboiy you need to clear your pm box
sorry off topic

[Blue-]

I booted with the game and loaded the savegame again. Put back the backup and tried the whole proces again. It's working now! :)

Only thing I need to know now is in what form I need to upload games to my xbox. (image, zip, etc)
Thanks!

[exarmysgt]

Quick question: Can I install XBMC onto a softmodded Xbox? I'm not really crazy about the default UI. Thanks for the great tut and your responses.

[Blue-]

Ohw...and what to do with downloaded images which are like 5GB and don't fit on a DVD?

[gus738]

fianly u come to this section singaboiy... ok what i need help is.. 2 things.

one .. ftp.. i have flashfxp cat5 cable router check firewall and notin... i

heard that YOUR XBOX DEFAULT GATEWAY has to have the same number as

your ip addreass on you pc .. is that TRUE? and the other thing MOST

IMPORTANTLY.. my 200gb hd is new and i have xboxhdm.. now to start

EEPROM yes i have it.. THEN I WANT THIS XBOX TO HAVE RETAIL MS DASH..

that way i can resoftmod from there.. DONT CARE BOUT LIVE!. also u

mention that the stock hd can be restored to factory ? cuz i try doin C

restore in the past and it ditn work.. i didnt put the 007 disc.. AND BEFORE I

STARTED THE PROCESS i try clickin on backup.. didnt work either.. xbox

stock hdd works. just I CARE ABOUT MAKIN 200GB HDD then from there

i would then restore stock hdd that way i can have retail hdd +200gb hdd.

BUT I ONLY CARE ABOUT 200GB MAXTOR RIGHT NOW 7200RPM 8MB BUFFER.

[gus738]

how can i make my ftp work? ROUTER , CAT5 CABLE , FTP ACCES IS AVABILE ON XBOX.. check firewall .. WHAT AM I MISSING GUYS? PROGRAM USING.. flashfxp...

[Blue-]

Check that the ip range from both computers is the same.

But what about burning 5GB images?

[gus738]

u mean to check if the ip is the same on the xbox and the pc?

u downloaded contents which is like 5 gb . and it wont fit dvd?
is that what u r saying?

[gus738]

u can conpress the file... but what is it exacly that u r trying to put on the dvd?

[Blue-]

You must NOT have the same IP adres, but you must be in the same range.

ie: PC: 192.168.0.10 -- XBOX: 192.168.0.11

Yes, that's what i'm saying. My iso is like 5.2GB big, that wont fit on a DVD as far as I know. :(

[Blue-]

It is a game called "The Warriors".

[gus738]

well u can buy a dl disc. or u can conpress the file.. but what is the iso for? games?

[gus738]

did u already make it XISO? rather then iso?
I DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT U MEAN "RANGE ". so ur saying i just have to have 192.168.02 on pc and the xbox 192.168.01? the first 6 numbers MUST BE THE SAME.. i know that BUT WHY CANT THE OTHER NUMBERS BE THE SAME? is this my confict?

[gus738]

it is better if u save the game in hdd. dvd2xbox is a very very easy and very good program.. benefits of burrin in hdd? nearly no loading!!! hassle free(unlike dvd it loads late , u can scartch disc and trying to burn it or makein it xbox iso .. its a long process. iso wont work u need xiso that way it can work on ur xbox)... what u have iso or xboxis0? just put disc lanuch program n presto! 5 10 mins..

[Blue-]

yes it is, there can only be one number in each network, so 2 times 192.168.0.2 will not work. Also leave the 0.1 free for a future router or something.

I tried makin at a XISO, but it won't change the size. Compressing won't work.

[Blue-]

My HD is still stock, so I only have space for one game. :(

[gus738]

ok i have a router.. i have 2 pcs both networked so i have 2 more spaces on my wired router ... 3rd n 4th .. 4th has uplink option.. SO THAT MIGHT BE MY PROBLEM i have ip adds on both pc n xbox. . DO U HAVE XISO? OR REGULAR ISO? IF U HAVE REGULAR ISO THEN I DONT THINK IT WILL WORK. BUT IF ITS REGULAR ISO THEN HOW DID UR PC EVEN RECONISED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

[gus738]

yr hdd can store more then 1 game even if its stock.. also depeding on game. normaly u can store upto 2-3 games..

[gus738]

blue r u here? i stil dont understand how did u get the iso on the pc.. if its not xbox iso... or give me more detail..

[suprafreak6]

how many times do both of you post?
to make it smaller, try to delete some unneeded files. And to get the iso on the pc, there is no iso that comes from anywhere, it only comes on the pc you either make it with Xiso or download it, when you copy a game to your harddrive
you can only play it if its a folder take that folder use xiso create your iso then burn
there is noneed for all this extra posting, a response will come once we get time this is not a 800 number giving you service

[gus738]

yea emo kid i was gonna say sometin like similir.... BLUE like i said if u would of used dvd2xbox i runs a file called acl or sometin like that.. so hdd games ARE ALWAYS MOST LIKELY TO BE BETTER THEN DISC. BTW i FTP ALREADY SO YEA I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM..

[suprafreak6]

yea emo kid i was gonna say sometin like similir.... BLUE like i said if u would of used dvd2xbox i runs a file called acl or sometin like that.. so hdd games ARE ALWAYS MOST LIKELY TO BE BETTER THEN DISC. BTW i FTP ALREADY SO YEA I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM..

its not really that only, its because it runs off a harddrive which has better load times then a disc does

[Blue-]

I have a ISO (game.iso AND game.xiso) wich I downloaded, I don't want it on my XBOX, I want to burn it. The ISO is 5.6GB big, so it won't fit on a disc. I tried to optimize it with XISO but it gave me no result.

So...how can I possibly get the coplete game working on a disc?

[suprafreak6]

i dont know the only thing i can think of is taking out unneeded files or putting it on your xbox

[gus738]

yea the same here ... like emo kid said it 95% better leaving the game in hdd rather then disc.. umm.. well u put dvd2xbox on ur hdd then burn the game on the hdd then the program will do sometin called ACL BY THEN THE GAME SHOULD BE SMALLER FILE then u ftp then xiso it then burn it to disc.. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN THINK of considering i dont know much about the game files.. MAYBE U SHOULD ALSO TAKE A LOOK @ WWW.XBOXHQ.COM OR XBOX SCENE.. good luck!!! UR HDD HAS ON E DRIVE ABOUT 4 GBS TO SAVE OF GAMES and WILL NOT SLOW DOWN so i suggest get dvd2xbox..

[gus738]

hey this is a stupid question but DOES ANYONE KNOW IF PUTTIN A CAT5 OR CAT6 cable makes a difftense in speed? that is nosticable? and i dont get it what would it a make a diffrense to a cross over to a non cross over? i already got ftp but i used the cable i use for my pc with the internet so i need to buy a cable and i dont know which 1 to buy.. thx

[Spider_dude]

there shouldnt be any noticable difference in speed

[gameguy6754]

Thanks for the guide peeps,anyways i was wondering if I can play divx,xvid,ogg files on my xbox after the modding?.
I have another question,can i play anime videos that have subtitles in the video?.


ok peeps here are my questions

can i play ogg files,xvid,divx files that have seperate subtitle files like .srt, and .sub?.

If so please give me a guide or a link,thanks in advance.

[gameguy6754]

Im getting an xbox soon, do you guys know if the guide will work on the xbox they sell at bestbuy?."Not the 360"

[silent h3ro]

It doesn't matter where you buy the Xbox, they are the same everywhere in the world with the exception of NTSC and PAL (different dash versions as well).

[suprafreak6]

yes all versions of xbox known to man (on earth) are compatible with this guide of softmodding. Just make sure you know what losses there are to softmodding such as xbox live if your interested in that.

[gameguy6754]

Thanks for the info buddys :p,I really dont care about Xbox Live,the only thing i care about is watching my anime and video clips that are in divx,xvid, and ogg which have seperate subtitle files.

Sorry for all the questions but im getting a xbox soon and dont really want the whole system to not work cause of some little bug.

Ok here are my questions
Can I watch anime that have subtitles in them with xbox media center?.
If something goes wrong can i format my hdd and delete everything and start all over?.

[suprafreak6]

of course dude i do it everyday
but if something goes wrong (which it shouldnt) i dont think putting a bandaid on it will help, if you are putting a new hdd in i reccomend you keep the orginal with all its files

[SingaBoiy]

If this is your main concern, just back up your original xbox hd after you softmod. Then if anything goes wrong later, you can just format and do a "fresh" install.

Use Qwix. Extact the iso. Remove files like demos and credits. Then create the iso using the folder that has the files that you took out. Most of the time it will fit, if not, delete things that dont sound important :ph34r:

[suprafreak6]

lol i love the mysterious moment of knowing if its going to work or not :lol:

[SingaBoiy]

lol i love the mysterious moment of knowing if its going to work or not :lol:
As long as its files such as demos and other languages, and the folder is the right size. 9 times out of 10 it will work :)

[zoeygirly]

Hiya--just a quick question--before i drag the AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip file do i unzip or leave it intact? Thank you

[suprafreak6]

leave it how it is

[Spider_dude]

soft modding didnt work on my mates 1.6 pal xbox so stfu emo kid. it did work on 4 other xboxes which arent 1.6 dash.

[Damnatory]

Just a question... I just soft-modded an XboX for a buddy for Christmas, but I was wondering, can I delete the shit that the soft-modding add's to the HDD? Like the Unknown Title that has the MXM avatar, and the AUF save game, and the Ltools backup?

[zoeygirly]

leave it how it is

Thought so...thank you!;)

Ok, another dumb question probally but i just want to be sure...i'm assuming that i put the bond_auf file into the AUF folder on AR and drag the entire contents of the folder to the memory card--including bond_all? Or do i only drag the bond_auf zip file to the memory card? Thanks for your time/help

[SingaBoiy]

I have never tried but I dont see a problem with doing so. I like to leave it on just in case.

@zoeygirly - send the "AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip" in its whole to the memory card.

If there are any other questions I missed or that have not been answer, please ask again and I will get to them as soon as possible.

I have a ISO (game.iso AND game.xiso) wich I downloaded, I don't want it on my XBOX, I want to burn it. The ISO is 5.6GB big, so it won't fit on a disc. I tried to optimize it with XISO but it gave me no result.

So...how can I possibly get the coplete game working on a disc?
Use Qwix. Extact the iso. Remove files like demos and credits. Then create the iso using the folder that has the files that you took out. Most of the time it will fit, if not, delete things that dont sound important :ph34r:
some discs contain both the NTSC and PAL versions of all the "cut scene" (intermission) movie files. or sometimes they have two sets of movies for 4:3 screens (traditional TV shape) and 16:9 screens (widescreen). if so, you can delete whichever set of movies your xbox is not going to use.

to stay on the safe side, you can replace the deleted files with blank files. like, create a new file in a text editor, save it with the same name+extension as the name+extension of the file it's replacing. some games check the names of the files, to make sure they're all present, but they usually don't check to see what's actually INSIDE of the files because such verification would be very time-consuming.

example: a game might have two movie files called intro_NTSC.xmv and intro_PAL.xmv, but your xbox is set to NTSC so you don't need the PAL movies. delete intro_PAL.xmv, then make an empty text file and save it as intro_PAL.xmv in the folder that you deleted the movie file from. make sure that your computer has its options set to display file extensions, so that it doesn't create a file called intro_PAL.xmv.txt (this would be wrong and could possibly prevent the game from working). these blank files will not increase the size of the game, because the size of such a file is 0kb.

[shortkid]

great tutorial, really usefull, but theres just 1 thing...


how can i get the hacked 007 file onto the memory card using x-ploder?!


If its possible that is...
Please help me, i cant wait to get xbox media center working!
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/

i have got xploder v1.0.0.19 and a PAL format for my xbox. If you need to know anything else then just ask. Thanks

How big of a difference does higher quality media make in quality game burning?

I mean, is there any certain DVD's that have a higher success rate at burning, as opposed to other cheaper media? I've been using these DVDr's (http://www.shop4tech.com/item2687.html) for burning DVD's, however it seems that only about 1/2 to 1/3 of the games I download actually end up working at all...

What media have you found to work the best SingaBoiy?

[chump31]

Ok, well I used this tut about a month ago and everything worked great. But now I just got a 200gb seagate and installed it with xboxhdm and worked fine, but I'm only seeing 123gb on F:\. I used evox to enable it, and it shows as 0 still. I used RAW FTP commands to format G:\ and one time it showed up as having the extra 62gb, but I couldn't access it (in XBMC and FTP). so I reformatted the HD and started over. Now even with the format I can't get anything to show up.

Do I need to patch the bios here for LBA48 support? Or can I just replace the bios that nk is loading with X2 4983.06?

I'm using v1.0, UDE2, nk, and X2 4981. Should I use UDE1 or PBL? I think I used PBL originally and thats when i was able to format G. I can't remember exactly and I am at work right now.

Has anyone else been successful adding a 137+ with this package?

Hah, thats actually the media I suggest to people. I know there are different versions on the site. The ones I got last are supposed to be 8x but I can burn at 12x without any problems. :naughty:

I set it to max when I make xbox games since its dvdrom drive is so damn good. DVDDecrypter actually tops out at about 10x though. Just about 100% success rate.

@chump - it should be as easy as enabling it to look for the extra partition in the settings :)

[Damnatory]

Ahh so it's the app you use to burn with then? Nero probably is the problem as it tipically is a poor burning application... So you would suggest DVDDecrypter over Nero? What about Alcohol120?

I set it to max when I make xbox games since its dvdrom drive is so damn good. DVDDecrypter actually tops out at about 10x though. Just about 100% success rate.

Decrypter > Alcohol > Nero

Thanks! That has actually gotten a few more DVD games to work, but some releases I guess are just bad images or bad rips.

Is there a trick to burning images that are multi-language pack PAL? They never seem to work. Or should I just avoid PAL altogether with my NTSC XboX? I just thought PAL was playable on modded NTSC XboXs. :unsure:

Will this softmod process work with the newest xbox 1.6?

Sorry if this question has been asked already

Yes it does, I have soft-modded two 1.6 XboX's. The only difference I know about, is that when it is flashing and installing the dash, the screen goes all green and garbled, however when it's done installing, the LED will blink green, and you need to reset.

Nope, PAL should work just fine. Try clearing out your cache.

Thats the X, Y, and Z folders when you FTP. There is also a folder in C or D called CACHE. Delete everything in there too.

Also, in the evox settings, there should be a NTSC/PAL setting... change it to Auto.

OK. well I finally got my 200gb to show up on my v1.0. Just had to switch to m8 and pbl-metoo. But now I have another question.

I used to use XBMC as my dash, but now that i've upgraded my HD, i wanted to check. When used as my dash, will it still be able to read all of drive F? Or should I continue using evox? What is the advantage of using evox as the dash as opposed to xbmc? What I did was just replace the files in e:\dashboard with my xbmc files and moved evox into the apps folder, so i could still use it if needed.

Thanks.

How big of a difference does higher quality media make in quality game burning?

I mean, is there any certain DVD's that have a higher success rate at burning, as opposed to other cheaper media? I've been using these DVDr's (http://www.shop4tech.com/item2687.html) for burning DVD's, however it seems that only about 1/2 to 1/3 of the games I download actually end up working at all...

What media have you found to work the best SingaBoiy?

dvd+r has worked on all systems i have found...but thats just me:01:

Ive been wondering how do make XBMC as my dash also. I guess you stated it very clearly. Im wondering now if anyone else has done this. Im also wondering as you are if theres any drawback to doing this...
