i softmodded my xbox and my xbox will not boot to the set up screen i can leave my xbox dvd drive on and it still wont got to the screen you know the blue dashboard help

 

Tell us what did you do? How exactly did you have it softmodded (installer, fonts, exploit lol etc)? What dashboard? is there any error codes does it bring up any errors? does it just not boot up? more info, not just "HELP ME" cuz we can't help someone since it's not our problem, but we can help if we know your problem.

well i turn it on copy a game then i turn i off then turn back on then the dvd was gone i try to reset it but it stayed on my skin dashboard every time i boot it it goes to my skin how do i reformat it

 

First off you gotta remember that i'm old lol (17 lmao), and i'm really tired after staying up to much, so i need to understand what you mean to say, and when you don't type it correctly it makes my job that much harder and that's on just reading not your problem. So if you want help quicker i suggest slowing down and reading over it at least once to check if it makes sense. (JFYI not being mean just saying k?)

What did you use to backup you dvd i assume? what dashboard do you have? where did you put the dvd? is this stock xbox harddrive? if so where did you put the dvd? (stupid question if it's stock but still need to know) and anything else.

So it's just the dvd's won't play? you mean the dvd you backedup right? and if you can actually boot up your drive first off is not unlocked, because retail bios won't allow your hdd to be unlocked unless you get a error with a code like 6 i think.

still have a hard time understanding you, like backing up ms dashboard what do you mean by that?

[bold]@Degallle[/bold] and here to help [bold]lilcj14[/bold] if I can...

I'm having a hard time understanding what the main issue as well. But I think what he's referring to as far as backing up the MS Dashboard is a part of the softmod's option. Initially installing the softmod where you have (i.e. install unleash x, install evox, etc.) one option is to back up the MS Dash.

lilcj14, please just state what the problem is...what exactly can't you do that you want/need to do. A locked hard drive is not an issue. All xbox hdd's are locked and usually aren't unlocked unless it's the modding process of the drive or other issues being attacked by the modder.

 

here my problem i can't copy games and i can't play audio i cant play dvd's it wont go back to the screen where it say's install evox or unleashx

 

is there a master code maybe to unlock harddisk please anybody help me get back to the create mod backup screen

 

What screen is it booting up to? if it isnt booting up a bios then there should be an error code what is the error code if the bios screen isnt booting up.

 

where do i find the error code on what screen

 

when you turn on your Xbox what is coming up on the screen? Is it loading up your dashboard or is it giving you an error code message.

What else are we supost to say to get you to understand what we are asking.

Are you trying to play the games or DVDs off your hard drive on the Xbox?

 

What he's asking is do you get this message with a number or no number or are you getting something else, cuz if you boot up to the MS dashboard then you can fix it easily if i remember the problem correct.

The first one is the picture and then the other tells you how many error codes there are and possibly how to fix them or how to tell if you have a paper weight for a xbox, or football however you see it.

If you are getting an error code, you should follow this guide posted by [bold]deezp1[/bold] which is pretty indepth on what they are, why, and how to go about fixing them.

there is know error code alright you know how you first softmod your xbox and your on that blue dashboard that has install evox on it my xbox wont go to that screen it stays on my xbox skin you know the evox skin not the dash i can reboot the system over and over with the dvd drive open it wont go to that screen

 

did you try reinsatlling the soft mod again?
I understand what your saying when you turn on your Xbox then open the try right after turning it on it loads the blue screen where you can insatll Evox or UnleashX and where you can save the MS backup.
All I can say is try reinsatlling the softmod. maybe you over wrote the softmod loader program.

 

so how do i reinstall it

 

the same way you installed it in the first place

 

i tryed it it didn't work

 

You could try deleting the save off of the hard drive and saving it on again after a reboot and then reinstall it.
