Thanks i tried it and i get it keeps flashing a red and a green what should i do i got it but i wanted to know should i use nkpatcher or the other option and also the screen is green it keeps going up and the light is orange what does that mean

?wha i couldnt understand that too well

nvm i got it to work but you can play burn dvds rite and also how do you get xbox media center to work and also hwo do you install apps and files without ftping

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

yeah what he said

i found out what the problem was to my game, it was just messed up :lol: so i bought a used one then took my messed up copy and exchanged it for a good one now i have 2 good ones

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
(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


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.

A. No, not unless you want your xbox to get banned.

Q.i dont have auf but i do have mech assault can you show me step by step how to soft mod with mech.

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.

something like this

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

lol yea it should be deleted

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

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.

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 ;-)

i really havent answered many questions lol

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

how about that softmodding

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

hello

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

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????????

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)

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.

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

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.

get the action replay software

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

good job

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

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

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?
