How to Fix Error 21 and Take Off Your Softmod

This guide will help you fix your error 21 while removing your softmod.

Staff note: Be careful using this tutorial. It's best to utilize the options "Unsoftmod" [Unsoftmod Tutorial] in the Softmod Installer Tool that you used or use AID 5.11. If you followed guides on our site when softmodding, you should have everything backed up that you need to unsoftmod successfully.

Requirements
  • Softmodded Xbox
  • Linux gamesaves - Can be found in one of the softmodding guides
  • The game your used to softmod
  • Know How to FTP to your Xbox
  • FTP Client (FlashFXP was used in this guide)
  • Your MS dash backup on computer - if you didn't save your dash, use this page with the download link at the bottom.
Fixing error 21 and taking off your Softmod
  1. Put in your game disc for softmodding into your Xbox (splinter cell, mechassault, 007).
  2. Then you need to make a ftp connection, so go into your settings in the softmod (EvoX) dash.
  3. Use the top IP on settings.
  4. Open your FTP client and log into your Xbox.
  5. After you login double click the C folder and delete everything in there.
  6. Use WinRAR to open the m$ dash that you had backed up or downloaded and FTP the contents to the C folder.
  7. When finished, reboot your Xbox
You should no longer have your softmod and your error 21 should be fixed.

As long as you made an ms backup when you softmodded your xbox your good. just start you xbox up with the game you modded it with then load the linux then click restore ms backup then turn off you xbox then turn it back on an dit should be back to normal.
