How to Softmod with SID 4.0! Tells how to get on XBL too!

ZhenYevan : your xbox is sucesfully softmoded , set the time and date correclty and re boot it. red = softmod active NOT safe for xbl

power it on via open tray and the circle led should be green = safe for xbl

... thats of course if u did dual boot = retail .. retail means for xbl

onthedge: if you did this softmod right and left it unplug the only thing it would ask is set time and date... unless you tamperd with the mod...

oh and if it ask to press A then do so .... but i didnt quite understood you mentioend osmetin bout 2 xbox?

 

when there is no cd in the xbox it flashes green and yellow

 

when it flashes green n yellow eitehre your cable is unpluged or you need to press A

did you try setting the time then power off and power back on see weather the other dashboard loads???

did u put the dual boot=retail?

 

i just deleted all the files on my xbox and the light is green..i deleted all the modding files that is
did it work

 

LMAO , why would you delte them? you would risk more breaking your xbox then leaving those files there , ok when you power it on normaly ( small pwoer button) whatn happens ? does it load ms dash is it red circle or green?

 

something is messed up because when i go to play system link for halo 2 it says that it couldn't detect a network connection...do you know what to do??

 

first we still got 2 know if your even softmoded or not , system link is when you have connected to other xbox; that is nto xbox live , and connection errors can be alot of things , wires firewall n such ... first we need to know if ur xbox is softmoded or not

 

how do i figure out if its softmodded or not....i dont play xbox live i play xbox connect its where you set up your xbox on a system link and play other people through that....i have done it b4 i softmodded my xbox

 

well you can tell me what you did after you press the A button when i t mentieond it needed to patch the C drive....

or to the point after you restarted with red circle with ms dash

 

help....when i go to do the crate ms backup thing it says that it has found modded files...what do i do???? can i delete these files so i can softmod it successfully....please help...ill do anything

 

ZhenYevan : ok so is your xbox softmoded or not? cuz you said someting about being red led earlier ,

what you need to do is put retail ms dash files on C

if you delete them and dont put sometinmg you will end up with an error code 21

 

lol, i've gotten that b4. but stop freaking out and doing all this stuff and just take all of his directions, or else u'll wind up like i did, screwed. anyways, got a question 4 gus (again, i know): is there a way to overide the stock BIOS momentarily so i can fix the box like grounding D0 or something with a jumper, or should i just get the solderless chip?

 

unless you know how the xbox was made theirs no way temporarly besides chipping it ( buy soilderless cuz even soilderless can break xbox but less chances vs soildering one )

or just spend 5 mins recovering the xbox , the tut is under my signiture

 

ok, tell u what, just to amuse you, give me ur email so i can send u some pics of the options under BIOS so i can finally set up a new HDD

 

Wow well since im Azzidz No.1 Bud (XBL) and hes gone to medical school i can help with whatever u guys need for modding FTP Software and all that stuff

 

HurtDonit : hey dude yea help would be great to check here on this thread cuz im gettin a bit busy my self and sometimes i dont check here until 2 days or so...

onthedge : just loook thro your options for disableing / auto off or turn off primary ... u'll get it theirs no harm in doing this so give a shot...

read the tut if you need to

 

the closest thing i can find is to disable the primary drive, but then it doesn't notice any drive when i load the software. btw, if i built a drive from scratch, do i need to put stuff in the E too? i have the MS Dash in the C and i don't know if iu need anything else.

 

C is needed to load the ms dash E is NOT needed . if you fellow all steps you should be able to do it right .....

ask pirrup ( he made that tut) you have a timing it has to be hot ... you cannot just plug it on the pc lol you have to have both pc and xbox open and clsoe to each other then power on xbox then unplug the ide cable ( while its beeing powerd ! ) and plug it on the pc ide cable ... again ask pirrup or buy a soilerless chip

 

I get everything But when I do number 14# it just boots right to the ms dashboard
This is my first time with softmod
Use to hardmod.
Please help.

 

once you rebooted it should of asked to press A if you did press A and ms dash loaded and asked for time set it restart and it should work
