Ok as already stated by mangledleg this Xbox was a mess, DVDrom door opening gears are busted and the round one with the belt is completely missing so the SID exploit was out of the question (for now). Keep in mind I was lucky enough to have a copy of the eeprom provided by Mangedleg. Ndure-3.1 - great softmod tool specially if you have already extracted the eeprom.

Didnt end up really needing this in hindsight.Īuto-Installer Deluxe v4.53 - Once your box is softmodded you can use this to install any softmod dash you like EG: Avalaunch, evox, XBMC etc. Could probably got them for the Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.53 iso. Useful if you want to install a larger hard drive, sets up partitions the drive for you including FĬASH_v1.1_Package - Used this to extract the stock Dash C and E files from. Xboxhdm_v1.9 - CD based HDD lock/unlock, backup and can make a HD from scratch. Keep in mind its been a few years since I soft modded my first xbox so I'm relearning from scratch. To cut an even longer story short this is what I ended up doing and tools used. The HD lock/unlock tooks works but when you start xboxhd it doesn't detect the drive properly. USB sounds nice and is convenient but just doesnt work. I reckon I wasted half a day screwing around with xboxhdm2.2_RMPrepUSB.
I bought Mangleg's xbox for a bit of a challenge and I'm happy to report shes up and running again.īiggest hurdle I found was reliable HDD unlocking tools that worked. That looks perfect! Will get in touch with them and look at ordering one, and then rebuild a fresh softmodded HDD :D You wont need to worry about the bios but the eeprom is something that should be the first thing to backup and keep as its the key to the system. The best thing about having the eeprom reader is once you get it than you can fix any xbox no matter what the drive situation and as the boys stated before xbox modchips are getting harder to come by. I agree a modchip can save you from having to lock or unlock a drive but even with a modchip you will softmod it to get xbmc on the drive so besides the locked drive there isnt that much between the two.

Next you boot the cd like a linux install disc and have your drive your rebuilding hooked up to your pc and follow the usual instructions and pretty quickly you will be in business. Just need to extract the eeprom from the motherboard and copy the file to the folder in xboxhdm and make your iso file. The seller supplies not only the eeprom reader but a dvd of handy tools and the folders all ready and waiting to build a new drive.
