can i unlock my hd without a eeprom (plz help)

Unfortunately once the hdd is unlocked and the system was powered off then there is no way to lock it back to the xbox without a chip.

A softmod is all done on the hdd itself and since the hdd isnt able to be used by the xbox unless its locked to it the softmod isnt gonna help.

I would Install the Chip then run a slayers disk to reinstall the dash.

after that install all the apps/upgrades to it from the slayers disk.

Sorry for the late response but hope this helps.

Also to all the others that have said thanks - Your all wlcome and glad to here it helped.

Can this help with error 05 or even error 21. I have 2 HDD's and one HDD gives me error 05 and the other HDD gives me error 21.

Any help appreciated as my xbox has been poorly for nearly a fortnight now :-(


It may resolve error 21 as it is usually caused by the system trying to launch a unsigned XBE file.

If you run my process it will overwrite the faulty xbe in all likelyhood so it very well should resolve that issue.

As to error 5 this is a hdd not locked error and will require a chip to fix.

See above post.

Any ideas? thanks

 

Hi there I assume you have the hard drive unlocked and connected to your computer!! If you have not had the eeprom number backed up then, there will be no way it will work in the XBOX, unless you chip! Here are some tools to unlock your hard drive a view the files on the computer.

The eeprom back up should be under E: /UDATA\21585554\0000000000000\
Providing you did back it up when soft modding, usually this is the case as the modding software won’t let you continue until you do.

Hope this helps
