Softmod with blank CD

[billlock]

I followed this tutorial to the T and was able to MOD my xbox without spending a dime.

I had used a non-solder mod chip before, but this was easier.

The hardest part was finding Ndure-3.0, the vague link threw me, I ended up searching and getting it somewhere else.

I was very impressed and appreciate the great work that went into this.

Have a great day!

How cool is that, you found this tut, made it work then, you decided to register with se7ensins just to say thanks, props to you

I will look at the dodgy Ndure 3.0 link

*updated*

Well when I try to back up my c drive it tells me that it cant backup the audio files because of too many files open. Then when I use the install ndure link it trys to back up the c drive again and it gets the same error. Will it still work right and how do I fix it?

i'm going to try this when i get off vacation, cant find ar no where for the low

Well forrestmaster you're problem seems to be unique I wouldn't worry about backing up you're music as this can be done after the softmod occurs via FTP
Do you have a massive amount of music on your XB? I think that the softmod should work just fine if problems occur delete the music on the XB that you already have on CD or other HDDR devices you can put these back on by converting to WMA on your PC and then FTPing back to E/music quicker than doing it just with the XB

Both CASH and forrestmaster let me know how you got on and please bang a thanks on the original post of the Tut if you think it deserves it, so folk know it's worth reading/attempting

Well even when I skip the backup c drive since I have a backup on my computer it still trys to and then when it cant backup the xbox audio folder it goes onto the next part and runs out of memory. But then when I tried to hotswap to clear up memory my partions where gone. So Im trying to fix that reight now. I dont suppose you have any ideas?

[LD50]

If you have a backup of your audio I'd delete the all the audio from the XB and then try again
1 question how much memory do you have on your PC? It shouldn't make a difference I'm just curious

I don't understand what you mean with regard to

you hotswapped back? IDK i don't understand. if it's really not working use xplorer360 or fatx to put you're backup on your XB HDD then take all the unnecessary **** off the XB HDD and try once more

another question everything about this mod is stock correct (normal issue HDD dashboard updated to 5960)?

[ForrrestMaster]

Yes, I know a lot about xbox's Im not some nub. My comp wasnt the one running out fo memory. The xbox was. My comp has a 120 gb hdd. But my xbox's is stock. But I hotswaped to get rid of all the files that it tried to back up and when I went to hotswap the e partion was gone. Then when I tried again all the partions were gone. Fatx found the hdd and so did xplorer360 but xplorer couldnt open up the partions because there were none. Just thought I would let you know.

It sounds like you know more than me I've researched you're problem and It is UNIQUE
If you've killed you're HDD I'd use your backup image and rewrite the entire HDD

[__C-A-S-H__]

so what your saying this is not safe to try this

[ForrrestMaster]

Sorry to be rude. I really shouldnt be mad at you. Its my xbox with the broken disk reader. But I deleted my image backup. IM trying to figure out a way to restore it back. Im getting this program to find that image I deleted. Yeah but I figured the problem was unique. But thanks again for your help.

Yes cash there is an element of risk to this just as theres a element of risk to crossing the road, I found this tut as NooB double O zero (never opened an xbox up before) and managed just fine within a hour,
If you still have concerns I would recomend using xplorer360 to make a back up image of your XB HDD ( you hotswap the xb hdd on to your pc whilst it is in windows, you will need 10 GB of free PC HDD space ) a back up image can cure all ills

Forrest just a thought can you "system restore" to when the image was on your PC Its a long shot as 10 GB of HDD space can be written over quite easily on a small 40GB hdd like mine but If you have a BIG hdd or if the delete was quite recent you could be in luck

[ForrrestMaster]

Yeah but dont delete it at all. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. Or you will be ****ed like me.

ok i'm not modding my 360 my reg xbox i thought this tut was for reg xboxs, also i already open up my xbox and none of the screws are in place so i can just pop the hard drive right out. so where does xplorer 360 come in this

[ForrrestMaster]

xplorer360 can also access regular xboxs hdd's

[__C-A-S-H__]

o wow i never heard of that but anyways did you mess up by following this tut, plus i dont even have xplorer360 so that wouldnt work lol
