    Ok, first you need to backup your C and E drives. Then....
    "I saved the details, rebooted and went through the three steps (above) from booting with the original Splinter Cell again. At this point I had FTP access to my XBOX from my PC.
    If you get this far successfully then you are now ready to install a dashboard exploit.

    The Dashboard Exploits

    There are basically two different types of dashboard exploit. The 'fonts' exploit replaces the XBOX fonts (see the Dashboard section above) with 'special' versions which exploit another security loophole and allow PBL to be loaded.

    The second type is the audio exploit. This is triggered by copying a special audio track to your hard drive. When you try to use the standard dashboard function to copy this track it generates an error and PBL can be loaded. Again there are better technical explanations of how these work if you are interested.

    There are many different versions and variations of both the fonts and audio exploits but they all function basically the same way. I recommend using an all-in-one package (see below).

    Once installed, the fonts exploit is typically activated automatically every time you power on the box so you boot into a modified dashboard.

    In contrast, with the audio exploit you boot to the standard MS dash and go through a sequence of 5 or 6 key presses in order to activate the exploit and load the PBL and the replacement dash.

    So why would you choose the audio exploit? The reason is that the fonts exploit is occasionally prone to something called the clock loop problem. See here for details:

    I suffered this problem and was only able to get out of it using the technique described by lugnut in the first page of the above thread. That is why I now use the audio exploit. Because this boots to an unmodded MS dash it is immune to the clock problem.

    A third option called the double-dash exploit. See here for details.

    This exploit is immune to the clock loop and does not require as many keypresses as the audio exploit. However it has a different problem which means that the XBOX reboots whenever you open the drive tray. If this issue can be resolved then this will be the best exploit solution.

    The fourth and newest exploit is called the UDE (Ultimate Dasboard Exploit). This is a font-based exploit which is not subject to the clock loop problem. As such it is the best method devised so far and has very few con's. See here for details.

    As the name suggests this is likely to be the best it can get and if your XBOX meets the requirements then this has to be the exploit of choice." - xboxscene.com tutorial


    You can find the exploits in the "usual place". Good luck!

    ok i need to know how to unmod my xbox. The problem is that i accidently deleted my original dash board. Would I need to copy a halo 2 game save with the update and a xbox live tag?
