First off, Credit goes to Retrix for the original tut. I just made an easy to follow guide with pics for newbies.
OKAY! So you want to mod your clan tag...
In this tutorial you will find out how to mod your clan tag to whatever you please (swears, weird characters, etc.)
____________________________________________________________
To start, you have to retrieve your profile off your 360's hard drive via a data migration kit (transfer kit, in other words). Heres how:
Just navigate through the folders shown. once you get to the Content folder in partition 3, you have to locate the profile you will be modding.
(in vista, please start Xplorer360 in "run as administrator" mode)
In the next step, you will copy your profile to a secure place in your computer. *MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE PROFILE INTO ANOTHER PLACE FOR A BACKUP... I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH*
After you have created a backup and a profile to mod, we have to open it in a hex editor. We will be using HxD.
After you have opened the profile you're going to mod, search for "welcome"
HxD should display something like this once you've found the Modern Warfare 2 Message of the Day.
(i apologise for the clan tag above. i did not realize that my friend had changed it from my previous clan tag.)
----------------------------------------------------------
Now we will begin to mod.
The vertical black lines show where to begin and end the overwriting of the original clan tag. the four letters/symbols that are your clan tag are the four that we are going to change. if you have less than four letters/symbols, you can only change those three letters.
I typed a swear word in for my clan tag. I blurred it out. its the F word.
the yellow square around "05" is unimportant. please ignore it. I also realize that the red bracket to the far left is too far left by one. sorry.
--------------------------------------------------------
Once you have changed THAT clan tag, you must search for others, by pressing F3. if you do not return any results, you are ok. if you have more that one MW2 MOTD, be sure to change the clan tag following it to the same text as you did to the first clan tag.
Now, save the file.
It is time to calculate hash blocks, and resign.
open your Hash Block Calculator, and do as the picture shows:
Finally, Resign your rehashed profile in Modio.
Overwrite your newly Modded, Rehashed, and Resigned profile to your old profile that is still located in your HDD. (delete the old file, right click, inject file, and navigate to the modded profile)
Load up MW2, And Go to an xbox live lobby, then BAM! you've got a clan tag with a swear word, or weird symbol in it.
CONGRATZ!
Troubleshooting:
My profile is corrupted or has zero gamerscore when i sign into live.
A. you didnt rehash/resign, or you over/under sized your profile when hexing. Go back and copy your backup file and start from scratch.
I forgot to make a backup and my profile was fuxored!!!
A. You are an idiot and deserve to be slapped. Recover your profile and start again if you wish.
It didnt work.
A. Honestly, i dont really care too much. either you did something wrong, or this guide is incorrect. post a correction in the thread.
Phr33 c00k13? r u d0 1t for m3h???!?!?!?!1/11??!/!?!/11/?
A. no free cookie for you. go away nub.
Thanks for reading, and have a nice day. :thumbup:
