Some Questions About Softmodding Options

[Rxanadu]

Do I also need Xplorer360 to put them on the flash? It still doesn't work for me.

[Heimdall]

Yes. Use Xplorer360 beta 6.

[Rxanadu]

Whenever I open up Xplorer360, it doesn't show anything. It has tabs like "Drive" and "Edit", but when I go to the two folders I need for the mod I can't see where to put it. I'm not sure how to actually use the program, and I've looked around for tutorials with no luck.

This sounds so silly writing this up. It's just a simple drag-and-drop program, yet I can't use it.

Edit: Found something interesting: it seems as though the other drive I was using isn't enabled to be a FATX drive, but I found another one that was. I'll try to put the files I need on that, instead.

I've started the modding process, and I've finished backing up the eeprom. The screen has "minimum install" and "basic install", but I don't know which to pick. I also have "upgrade from 1.0" on my screen, as well.

Edit: It's done: I finally softmodded my Xbox with Unleash V0.38.

i always do basic install..

[Rxanadu]

I'm having problems connecting via FlashFTP. The IP address constantly shows as "0.0.0.0", and even after using both this and the basic IP address (192.168.0.2), I still couldn't get it to work.

Also, out of curiosity, I burned one of the games I own onto a disc via torrent and tested it out with UnleashX. It ran but eventually brought up an error pertaining to a dirty disc. Maybe it was because I burned it at 8x speed.

0.0.0.0 ip adress usually means your network cable is not connected.

and dont download the games use dvd2xbox to copy yours, dirty disk is probably more like corrupted download.

I tried a new IP address (192.168.1.111) that I saw in the lower-right corner of the dashboard screen, but that didn't seem to work, either.

Anyway, I also wanted to ask you about "Phoenix Bios Loader". It loaded on the disc I used to burn HeXEn onto, but I'm not sure if it's just another name for HeXEn or another program entirely. I wanted to use it to add applications such as DVD2Xbox, XBMC, and chimps26 onto my old HD before cloning for the larger HD. I won't mess around with it until I hear back from you or someone who knows what's going on.

[shambles1980]

to install applications you load up hexen disk and then you have the option to install the applications right there on the 1st screen, "install applications" then you can do install applications to E: or F:
you dont need to worry about the bios loader.

if your using a static ip address make sure its similar to your routers ip..

If your router ip is 192.168.0.**
then use 192.168.0.111 for your xbox,

If the router is 192.168.1.88
then use 192.168.1.111

but sounds like the cable your using dont work or is not connected.

I didn't see chimps26 on the HeXEn disc, and I'm not sure where else to get it.

[shambles1980]

when i upgrade disks i use xboxhdm 1.9
I copy the c and e drive from the xbox im upgrading "flashfxp"
I populate the Linux C and E folder with the contents, then i put the eeprom.bin file in the eeprom folder.
I tend to use a dvd so i have aproximatly 4gb of data i can copy from the C and E drives.
I click on the make iso bat file.

I burn the dvd with magic iso. (other people use other programs, nero, dvd decrypter excetera)

I turn off my pc and dissconnect all my drives.
I connect one IDE DVD playeras a SLAVE on the primary ide channel. I connect the hard disk to be upgraded to the same IDE channel set as MASTER.

i set the bios to not detect my primary master hard disk
(if my bios did not support that i would leave the hard disk connected to the IDE cable but only connect the 4 pin molex power AFTER the bios failed to detect the drive)
I set my bios to boot from cd.

I use the comands to build a hard disk from scratch answering yes to the questions.

I then Use the commands to lock the hard disk.
Lockhd -a

and then i can put it in my xbox.

Now after i just wrote all that i rememberd you dont have a pc to do this with,
Hexen disk does have the option to upgrade a hard disk but you will need a second power source to use that.
I doubt you have this either.

So i guess my only real answer is,
check irc for the files you want..

[Rxanadu]

By "second power source", would that include another Xbox? I have a faulty one that still runs Xbox games. Would I be able to use that with HeXEn?

[Rxanadu]

I finally found a rar of chimps26, but the FTP is still not working for me. I've typed in both of the addresses you gave me, and they still don't work. The IP for the Xbox continues to default to 0.0.0.0 and returns to this even after changing it under Settings.

Do you think I could just use the flash drive to transfer items instead?

Also, I'm having a bit of some trouble figuring out how to slave my HD. It's a Seagate 320gb harddrive, and it has a diagram on it saying something about "master = on" and "slave = off" while showing the jumper setting on the pins closest to the IDE cables.

[shambles1980]

Any psu that can stay on and power the hard disk will wor.
The ip adress going to 0.0.0.0 means you arent connected to a router or pc or whatever. CHECK YOUR CABLE

Jumpers settings..

A jumper is a little doo da that connects 2 pins together there will be a diagram showing you which 2 pins connected to each other sets the drive as any given state "off =" Means no jumper attached at all.

You can use the file manager and your usb device to transfer data.
