Hi guys, a real newbie here some time ago a few years ack I attempted a softmod I think it was ndure, using the xbhdm cd.
Now I get the error 06 when switching it on, I have done a fair amount of reading, and apparently it means it's locked with wrong password?
Have read something about an eeprom reader but that is over my head, have also read you can get a good unmodded xbox and play some music from there then swap the ide cable to the broken one to get error 21, can someone point me in the right direction pretty please

My guess is that you are talking about this post: ||6. 0.6|| Cannot Unlock Hard Drive.
To fix the Error Code 6 on the xbox you will need.
2 xboxes (one that works find and your broken one)
Torx 20 screw driver (to take the cases apart)
Torx 10 screwdriver (to take your hard drive out
with)
Hard drive Y-Splitter Adapter Cable
Ok getting started I will be calling the broken Xbox
Xbox 1 and the working xbox Xbox 2,
First you need to open both xboxes. After you get them
apart take the hard drive out of Xbox 1 (the broken
one remember) and place it upside down on the Xbox 2's
dvd rom drive. Next unplug the power cable going to
Xbox 2's hard drive. Then take your Y-Splitter and
connect it to both xbox hard drives and power cable
you unpluged. Now plug your power and AV cables into
the xbox and boot it without a game in. When you get
to the Menu go into your music and play a song for
about 5 secs (or the whole song it is up to you).
After that back all the way back to your menu and
unplug the IDE cable (NOT the power cable) from your
hard drive and plug it into your Xbox 1's hard drive
and try to go into a menu. It will freeze on you but
this is ok. Wait until it gives you the Error Code 21.
When Error Code 21 comes up power off the xbox, unplug
the Xbox 1's hard drive and put it back into Xbox 1.
Reconnect all the cable to Xbox 1's hard drive and
boot it. It should boot fine. Now power off and put
both Xboxes back together =)
Have you tried this fix?

Cant say for sure since i never had this problem, the easy fix would be to chip the xbox and next would be to use hdm but you would need a copy of the original eeprom.

Good point Dart but i find that if you can build an EEPROM reader 9 times out of ten you are capable of installing a mod chip.

hamcarl i know i way to fix it all
you need to do is download the new
softmod installer deluxe 5.10 but first use the
disc you used for your exploit .
first is you need todo your softmod all over again and then your softmod dash should come up then put the new sid 5.10
in your files and then unsoftmod should go to ms dash then
resoftmod with the sid 5.10 and there you go hope this helps

Well at this point your opinions are this: Get a modchip and install that. They make solderless installs so you don't have to solder anything. Build an eeprom reader, or just forget about the xbox, sell it on ebay and buy a new one. _________________

If you get a modchip you will be able to boot it up without doing anything because the modchip will not look for the HDD to be locked.
Once you get it booted up you will be able to FTP to the xbox and do whatever you want to with it. _________________
