nvm
The NDure 1.1 is the latest, but if you used NDure 1.0 and some of the earlier revisions like Krayzee's 2.8, those should also work. If you can't access your dashboard directly, you can go into the file manager, then your C drive and run the default.xbe file there. That should get you back into the Microsoft dash and as far as Live and Microsoft are concerned, your XBox is exactly the way it was on day 1.

why are you so convinced that this NDure program is better...you only need to mention it once...if you think your so great then make your own guide...let people choose what they want, this is a great guide..id reccomend it to all but your just being an annoyance now..so please stop endorsing Krayzee and all its affiliates...thanks

Whats wrong with endorsing something that works really good? The guide here is a little outdated and current methods should be accepted.
There's zero money being made off this. I see no reason why I shouldn't endorse an amazing softmod installer. It is the best. The entire community of Xbox-Scene will tell you that. And that wasn't me who you were talking to - some other guy recommended it. Krayzie's is not my project, it's just something I love, know is best, and is trying to help people pick. I'm not spamming it or anything.
A nice thing about Krayzie's is dual-boot. You can set it up so if you boot with your Eject button, you go to a stock dashboard. YOu can then pop a disc in, boot it - play on Live no problem. Or, boot your system with the power button, your power light goes Orange, and you are at your modded Dashboard. In this state, Xbox Live hsould be automatically blocked out to prevent you from accidentally banning yourself. THe only problem is that the xonlinedash.xbe does not function (at least on v1.0) without turning the softmod off. So if you need to make a new account, you need to toggle the softmod off temporarily. But downloading DLC and such will still work fine with the mod on.
And here is a tutorial on softmodding your Xbox, installing Mimesis v2 (that is a project of mine), the Halo 2 v1.1 update, and getting new DLC, while keeping Live.
Splinter Cell softmod tutorial with Krayzie's Ndure and Mimesis tutuorial.
(This assumes you have obtained the softmod installer, Mimesis v2, and Halo 2 1.1AU from somewhere) Also, some of the steps are unnecessary, but how I would do it if you want to retain Live.
1. Copy the zip file in the Softmod Installer\SC save1 folder into your Action Replay.
2. Boot the XBox with no games.
3. Go to your Memory section, and make sure there are no Splinter Cell saves. Delete any. Then delete the entire Splinter Cell title by selecting the main icon.
4. Now copy the save off your memory card to your Xbox.
5. Delete the save off your Memory Card.
6. Copy the zip file in the Softmod\SC save2 folder into your Action Replay.
7. Now copy the save off your memory card to your Xbox.
8. Remove your memory card.
9. Boot Splinter Cell.
10. Load the "Linux" profile.
11. Select Checkpoints.
12. A modified interface of UnleashX should now load.
13. Follow the onscreen instructions. You are required to do the EEPROM backup before you continue.
14. Select EvoX as the dashboard you wish to install.
15. Select NKPatcher .6 as your patcher if you have a stock (normal, you didn't swap it) HDD or one under 130GBs. (.67 is for 130GB+ HDDs)
16. Continue following installation instructions, shutting down when told to.
17. Once the installation is finished and your box is off, eject Splinter Cell, remove it, and power off.
18. Power on with the power button.
19. You should be presented with the EvoX dashboard if everything worked, along with an Orange power light.
20. Start Splinter Cell. Load the linux save and select checkpoint as you did before.
21. Select the Multiboot option. If it isn't there, it's in the Extras menu.
22. Select the "dual retail." This will let you boot to your MSdash when powering on with the eject button. In this state you can safely access Live and make new accounts and stuf. DO NOT TRY LIVE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DUAL RETAIL SET AND DID NOT BOOT IMMEDIATELY TO THE MS DASHBOARD BY POWERING ON WITH THE EJECT BUTTON.
23. Shutdown after this is finished.
24. Try booting with eject button. Your light should go green, and you should go directly to the Microsoft dashboard.
25. Shutdown, and boot with teh power button. Now that you are in EvoX, go to your PC and run SmartFTP. If you do not have it, get it at SmartFTP.com.
26. In SmartFTP, enter the IP that is displayed on the EvoX menu on your Xbox. Enter the username xbox and password xbox, and the port should be 21.
27. Go to your the E folder. There should be an apps folder. If not, create it.
28. Drag the whole Mimesis folder you got into the apps folder in the E folder.
29. Restart your Xbox.
30. Select the Applications option, and then Mimesis.
31. Select Halo 2, Check For New Content, select one, then click instlal selected. Repeat for each download.
32. Exit Mimesis, by pressing B until you get to the main menu, then hold B for a second or two.
33. Use SmartFTP and get into your Xbox again.
34. Open the E/TDATA/mimesis/au/new folder.
35. Now copy the Halo 2 1.1 AU files.
36. Paste it in E/TDATA/mimesis/au/new/4d530064.
37. Exit SmartFTP.
38. Start Mimesis.
39. Select Halo 2, go to Manage AutoUpdates.
40. Click Backup Existing. This backs up your Live friendly AU.
41. Click install new. This installs the Mimesis friendly one you copied over in steps 34-36.
42. Quit Mimesis.
43. Put Halo 2 in your Xbox, and click Launch DVD.
44. Make a Split-Screen game.
45. You should have the new maps.

hey, i understand what your saying...but they guide is so easy..try making a guide that is as easy as this...i agree it is a little outdated, but whatever..
That tutorial is just as easy - just more in-depth.
Noobie here, I've followed this posting all the way through and can't seem to get this damn thing to work. Maybe someone can help. I'm trying to upgrade my xbox hard drive to a 120gb. I've completed the softmod tutorial at the beginning of this post. My xbox loads to evox, but can't read burnt cd's or dvd's. Meaning i can't use slayers to boot the xbox and try to upgrade to the newer harddrive. Also, following the tutorial on upgrading the xbox harddrive, i've tried xboxhdm v1.9 and still doesn't work. The xbox is giving me a 05 error code. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? thanks
