First timer Very Happy

I tryed to mod my xbox and I think I screwed it up. Embarassed
I sent it away to be chipped and upgraded so I don't know what it has except for 120gb hdd.
It was working fine until I had a turn on it. Xbox modz fascinate me.
I used smartftp. I backed up the hdd to my pc first then changed things around, turned it off and on again and now all I get is error 13.
The xbox still plays games but nothing else I can't get the dashboard up to change it back. Mad
I've downloaded Auto-Installer Deluxe and tried so many different media but no luck, I'm really lost now and need the help Crying or Very sad

Ok, I am guessing sort of but it looks like your dash is corrupt or it's renamed, or stored somewhere other than C. I am presuming that you are getting the M$ dash and not Evox or whatever the other dash was.
Without knowing much about the mod itself, it would be hard for me to go much further but then again I am not an expert. The good news is that there are experts here.
One other thing, if there is a way, we need to check to see if your HDD is locked. This may or may not be an issue though.

Yeah it's just the first dash that pops up, then straight to the error 13 page with the led light flashing red and green.

I'm pretty sure that the dash has been stored somewhere else when I changed the files around.

How do I check if the hdd is locked?

Basically I'm wondering what my best option is to fix it as I'm all out of ideas.

If you are trying to use the auto installer from here, first be sure it's the newest version. When you start the machine, have the auto installer in the D drive and see if your bios in your chip will allow for the boot up. Try burning to a dvd at the slowest speed your burner will allow (like 2.5 x) or even a dvd r/w. Do you know what version Xbox you have by chance? It might be to your advantage to open the top case and sniff what chip was installed.

I have a Xbox V1.0 Smile

I have downloaded AID10 so far and tryed that but no luck. I have tryed DVD + & - R/RW's and the bios still wont boot and that was at the slowest speeds possible. Confused

I'll have a look inside and see what I'm dealing with.

Oh by the way any idea on what I'm looking for and where? Confused

Thanks so much for the help this was starting to drive me crazy cause I was making no sense to myself. Rolling Eyes

Well at least I am familiar with that specific model of Xbox.
When looking from the front of the box, look to the left side and you should see a chip sitting well above most other components in the box. It may say Xenium or some other word. If we can determine the chip, then we might have a better idea as to how to recover. Does the Xbox play just original games or can it play your back ups as well?

I have had a peak inside doesn't seem to be any chip maybe its been soft modded.

It only plays original games no back ups, so i'm wondering if it reads .iso at all.

I've found out that the mod consisted of no hardwire chip but a couple of bits soldered and flashed the bios not sure what was soldered.

I think I may have a V1.5 not a V1.0 I checked the version on xboxscene.com and going on what they have said it's a V1.5

Sorry Shark2th for giving you the wrong info I just remeber reading V1.0 on the evox dashboard so I thought thats what it was.

So hopefully someone can help me to put me on the write track.

Here's a good lesson for people who are about to buy a premod. Always know what you are getting prior paying for it Smile

Also, until you know what you have, don't start FTP'ing in and out of the machine.

As a modder, you don't know how many times I have had to redo customers machines because they didn't know what they were doing. Naturally, when they screw it up it's my fault Smile Basically, if you machine is softmodded you should definitely get into the softmod forum so our softmod moderators and gurus can help you out.

Personally, I stay away from softmodding.....although I have been tempted to just buy a used Xbox and see what softmodding is all about. I just believe the mod chip to be a more stable mod. And, that is what to me is important. Since I am chipping machines for customers it's important that it remains stable. When someone pays 350.00 to 500.00 for a machine, it needs to work consistently.

I'll move this topic to the softmod area in hopes that it gets resolved. If it gets overlooked do not hesitate to open a new one in the Softmod forum.

I would also contact your modder. If you thought you were getting a chip I'd bitch. Or, if you are happy with your product maybe he could at least give you some support.

Hope you get it sorted out soon.

You can get your xbox functioning again but, you will need a memory card and an original copy of 007 AUF or Mech Assault, if you can get or better still, if you have both these then simply download the relevant exploit from the downloads section on this excellent site.

Actually I have just realised you will need to find someway of getting the gamesave onto the card I used an action replay lead.

Hope this helps or at least gives you some ideas.
