Hello all
I softmodded my xbox about 2 years ago now with the font exploit mod. The one where the xbox will reboot a ton of times if its not hooked up to the LAN.
I just picked up a HDTV and I want to enable 720,1080i formats. I was reading that you need to restore the original image, enable, then remod.
So I have to revert it back to normal. It’s been so long and I can’t remember what I did and I can’t find a tutorial that seems similar to what I did. I still have an image of my original xbox C:\ from before the mod.
My question is can I copy that image back onto the C: drive and have it boot up with the swapped HDD in it still in the xbox? I think it will because the eeprom on the e:\ drive and that's what holds the hdd lock codes. But I'm too afraid to try it, in case it won’t boot back up again.
Has anyone tried this or know if it will work?
Or if anyone can tell me how to reverse this mod that would be sweet too.
PLS help, Thanks

You'll need AID3. With that you can start out freash. Delete the everything from c: and everything BUT the udata and tdata folders from e:. Then install the m$dash.
That will put your box back to reatil state.
Then, if you want you can install the newer softmods.
When you d/l AID, you'll find some manuals. I suggest you read those. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

Sweet that’s just what I’ve been looking for. I just read the manual and i think I know what I need to do. I just want to confirm before I start.
All I do is fire up the AID installer, format the C drive, then reinstall the MSdash right?

Do not format the C drive or it will not boot up at all. Go to softmod section in the aid disk and choose nk patcher and it will delete the files for you and put a new softmod on it for you. DO NOT FORMAT C or your problems will have just started.

Keep in mind that the nk patched dash is for softmods. If you want to go retail choose the m$dash from the root menu. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

if u can ftp ur xbox right now... then i'd suggest to do so... purposes? incase your xbox frags or somthing u would have a backup to restore everything...
so ftp your xbox transfer EVERYTHING ..your C and your E folders...
then after u ftp it ...... you can try to restore it back to defaults and re mod it. .........
as long as you do a backup u can mess with it all you want.... !
