Can anyone help. i wwas messing around with my softmodded box and keep getting an error 13. i can't load any discs or ftp to it. i tried to connect it to the xbox live to update the dash but realised i had the box unplugged all night so i was now getting an error 16. i borrowed a mates hdd which i unlocked on the evo x dash screen but only get a error 6 now. can anyone help??????
Error 6 means cannot unlock hard drive... Was his hard drive locked when you got it from your friend?
So you took a factory hard drive from your friends xbox and put it in your modded sytem? You cannot do that unless you unlocked the factory drive in your friends system... You see these hard drives are locked or 'married' to the system they originally come in and they are useless if you take them out of the system without unlocking it.. The only way the drive can be used in other systems or a PC is if its unlocked on its original xbox...
find the thread that tell you about all the errors maby that will haelp and maby make some sence good luck
i tried to unlock it by clicking unlock hardrive ( in origonal box) on the evo x dash but nothing happened so i'm not sure what to try.
Well the error code he is getting is because the drive hes trying to use is locked to another xbox... google xbox error codes for a list of the error code meanings
i got a really good error code ist from here and tried to follow it to the letter. is unlocking the eeprom different to unlocking on the dash? cheers for the help.
and this hard drive your having troubles locking, where did it come from? and was it unlocked when you got it? Do you still have access to the system it came from?
yeah i still got the original box for that hdd and they work fine when together soi know the hdd is fine and works. i'm not sure if it was locked/unlocked just that it had never been tampered with or modded ( till i got my hands on it)
Well just make sure you unlock it before trying to put it into another system, otherwise it will continue to give u error 6 if you got any more questions just post
how do i unlock it? i selected unlock hard drive on evo x dash but got the same result. am i missing something?
dude read what i am saying please. As far as I can understand, you have taken a Factory hard drive from your FRIENDS non modded system. You've put this into your modded system and tried to unlock it.... This is NOT GOING to work. The only way you can do this is if you unlock the hard rive (from your friends box) in his XBOX before you try to put this in yours... so if you have a solderless chip use it temporarily in his system... unlock the hard drive in question... take out the mod put it back in your system and then put the unlocked hard drive in your xbox... then you can lock this or unlock this to your system. This is the only way you can do this.
sorry i'm not making myself clear. both hdd were standard but they have both got evo x and softmod now. sorry for misunderstanding.
Well make sure the hard drive your trying to unlock is in its original system and you will have no troubles unlocking it... unless you reflashed the eeprom on that box with a new code then you may have some troubles..
