Dead Xbox?, i have no backups! Options

[dickfink]

hey, I softmodded my xbox using xboxhdm and uxe and hotswapping. Everything was dandy untill I got bored and decided to update xbmc (which had been working fine, I just wanted to try out the xbox 360 skin) In anycase...while trying to get that to work I deleted some file...I'm honestly not sure which one. Now my xbox gives me an error message (doesn't say which one). I tried to hotswap and use the Ndure softmod, but I couldn't get the drive to unlock. So I used hddunlock to unlock it. That worked fine but deleted all the data from the drive. I've been toying around with xboxhdm, trying to get it to work but I'm not getting anywhere. Am I screwed because I don't have my eeprom? I tried copying over the dash from Slayer 1.6, but that didn't seem to work either. (I might have done that wrong...who knows)

If anyone has any ideas about what to do, or if I should just bury my xbox in the yard, it would be greatly appreciated.

if you unlocked your drive and dont have an eeprom backup your xbox is a nice brick until you buy a chip =0

Anyone have any suggestions on a good chip to buy?
