| New Eeprom With Config Magic If you are banned from Xbox Live, you will need an unbanned EEPROM since Microsoft bans your EEPROM if you access Xbox Live with your modchip on. Getting a new, unbanned Xbox can be achieved by getting it from a friend's Xbox, or seeing if a website is selling them. GETTING THE EEPROM FILE 1. In EvolutionX, do the "Backup" command in the Utilities menu. It will generate files about your Xbox specs. 2. FTP in your Xbox, or use a file manager tool, and in C:\Backup, you will find a file called EEPROM.BIN 3. FTP that to your PC HD or remember its location for future reference. SETTING UP THE FILE FOR CONFIGMAGIC 1. Once you have Configmagic loaded onto your HD or on your PC, there will be a directory in it called DATA. 2. Move the EEPROM.BIN file, that EvolutionX generated, into that DATA directory, overwriting the EEPROM.BIN file that is already there. 3. If you are making a Configmagic CD, you can now make the ISO of it and burn it. Xbox HD users, don't worry. RUNNING CONFIGMAGIC 1. Load up Configmagic. 2. A warning screen will be shown, press "A" to bypass it. 3. When Configmagic finally loads, it will show your current EEPROM on your Xbox. Make a note of the DVD KIT ZONE and VIDEO AND XBE REGION information. "NTSC, Region 1" for US Xbox gamers "PAL, Region 4" for UK Xbox gamers 4. Select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM" in the menu. 5. Select "UNLOCK HD" in the menu. 6. Load the EEPROM.BIN file in the DATA directory by choosing "LOAD EEPROM FROM .BIN FILE" 7. If you see that the VIDEO AND XBE REGION information is different, you MUST change it. Go into the menu and choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM". Change the VIDEO AND XBE REGION number to the proper information of your former EEPROM. 8. Now, select "UPDATE XBOX EEPROM" in the menu. 9. Your Xbox's EEPROM will now be updated with the file in the DATA directory. 10. In the menu, select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM". You will notice your EEPROM is now different! Success 11. Select "LOCK HD" from the menu. 12. Select "EXIT CONFIGMAGIC" in the menu. IMPORTANT TIPS - If you were using the XBOX DVD KIT to play DVDs, and the Xbox gives an error about region, load up Configmagic and change the DVD KIT ZONE number to the number of your previous EEPROM. UNLOCK the HD, choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM" in the menu and simply change the DVD KIT ZONE number. Then, UPDATE XBOX EEPROM and LOCK HD. Exit Configmagic. - You can view any Xbox EEPROM using your PC by getting Liveinfo PC program. It will show all the details of an EEPROM.BIN file. You might find it easier to edit any possible changes to your DVD KIT ZONE or VIDEO AND XBE REGION using the program, rather ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM in Configmagic. - Sometimes, with a PAL EEPROM, your Xbox's time might be wrong or video settings will be different. Go into the MS dash and change the settings to the way you seem fit. Last edited by AzzidReign; 11-09-2006 at 08:49 PM. Reason: cleaning it up for the new skin | ||||||

Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Award(s): 0 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | A few questions...some stuff I've always been curious about. 1. Can you modify the eeprom with just a softmodded xbox and the method described above? 2. What can all be done with configmagic? Can I modify/disable the flubber animation. 3. Also, can I use this to force my xbox to use an unlocked HD, provided that my box is, again, just softmodded? | ||||||
