Ok heres the story guys:
The other day i did a softmod to my xbox. everything was fine untill i tried the AID 2.0 on my xbox. It was workin fine i had the menu up and rollin and the first step was to format the hardrive. so i did as told. After i did that i thought the normal step would be to reboot the xbox. BIG MISTAKE. of course as i know now i should have reinstalled the ms dashboard but i didnt. SO all hope was lost there. Of course i didnt make a back up cd of my hard drive im stupid i know.
So some one told me not all hope is lost. They said just install a mod chip . so this brings me to a couple of questions
Whats the best one out there? and when i do install it i know you use bios and stuff and get other Dashboards from your PC using the ports on your comp. But first i need to know what one would be the best for my situation. What mod chip woudl be the best.
Right now i get an error code 13 when i turn on my xbox and it really means that there isnt an ms dashboard there(which there isnt one really) but i want to put a mod chip in that i coudl redownload the ms dashboard and fix this/ if possible.
Also im a huge fanatic of Xbox Live. So i want one you can turn off and on. i know thoes almost come standard in ne newer models.
So couple of things i have a V 1.0 xbox yes one of the originals.
I tried to install the soft mod but formatted and restarted. Screwed it up
No ms dash right now I need to find a mod chip that will re load the ms dashbaord and maybe do more in the future but for right now....just get it back to normal.
If ne one could help it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you feel like you need to email me that would be amazing too cuz i need all the info i can get on this.

Hi BenRoti2006,
What features do you want on your Xbox? I have an Xecuter 3 Solderless with Control Panel and LCD, I would never look back to the simple Xecuter 2.3b lite that I had as I would miss the LCD and front USB.
All i'm saying is the 2.3b lite did everything I needed (had and on/off switch) but I wanted to keep on modding my box. So you got to think do I need LCD support or just a simple chip to run dashboards and stuff.
To start off in the modding scene I suggest a chip like the Xeium Ice then go on to 4th generation chip with LCD's and other wonderful gadgets.
Thats all I got to say and Xbox HQ will get you working like they did for me.
Thanks

I love my xenium ice. And I also have a v1.0 xbox. But the worst thing about the v1.0 xbox, is that all the lpc holes are filled in with solder (fun). So just be ready for the install to take a lot longer than it would on a different version. Also, since you already have to deal with the solder inside, I suggest just doing the solder install. _________________ XBOX- V1.0

I forgot to mention. If you have already taken that particular xbox on xbox live, than you must keep your original harddrive. That doesn't mean you can't use your bigger harddrive, just when you want to go on live you need to reinstall you original harddrive. The way I dealt with it is by making the harddrive external and then putting it in an external harddrive case. Here is a link to what mine looks like to give you an idea.
