My buddy has a usb/mem thingy and it works with my xbox v1.6. we tried to copy over evox (i think its a few months old) dashboard using 0007 save hack. When we would restart, i would get the flashing red light, is there something we are missing??

Please help!

if you are only using 007_with_evox to get temporary access to play games off you HD, get a newer evox save. if you are looking to install the UDE2/UXE exploit, get ltools or waffletools and transfer the exploit as two saves.

get ltools or waffletools and transfer the exploit as two saves.

Just the newest one of each (which ever I choose), I have the v1.6 and its hard to find solid "it works" posts. and what is a 'two saves' exploit? I thought I only needed the saved game transfered.

ltools and waffletools are actaully two gamesaves that work together to install the UXE/UDE2/whatever. there's the actual gamesave exploit and the installer, while a "with_evox" save is just a gamesave exploit. if you read this tut you would understand.

And what do you mean by "solid"? nothing about modding an xbox in anyway is "solid". It can be illegal (depending on what programs you use and if they use stollen code) and requires some intelligence to figure out.

Umm 1.6's don't work - strange I ran ltools 18.rc1 from a dabsvalue memory stick on xmas crystal box - I'm pretty sure it was 1.6 as the screen went green and garbled in Linux.

I made a Xbox - USB Cable and used all the tricks on here, recognised it fine !

Showed up in windows as Lexar MEdia drive before I formatted it to xbox and edited the AR software to install it's driver for it.

Here's the link for anyone interested:

Maybe It wasn't a 1.6 ???

umm 1.6's do work. Well mine does anyway.

And i think if you read some posts about the particular softmod yuo're applying, when applying to xbox's with the new xcalibur graphics engine/chip the screen will be garbled because the linux drivers do not work. But that is just what's on the screen, everything else should function as per the softmod. Depending on the softmod, you can just wait x mins and then reboot the box.

I myself used Waffletools 12_24 SC installer. The only part that will give you a garbled screen with this installer (I believe) is when you go to backup the eeprom. Also, the eeprom backup does not work with this version of the waffletools installer anyway. But once waffletools is loaded (via Unleashx dashboard) you should be able to ftp to your xbox and copy across evox. Then run evox from file explorer and do the eeprom backup from there. then continue with the rest of the waffletools install. I recall there being a waffletools installer tutorial mentioned somehwere. Other than that read the 20 something pages in the relevant thread.

Hope this helps.

Could you just make a cable that goes straight from usb to the pc.......someone could make some sort of drivers or something that made the pc think the xbox hdd was an external usb hdd and just transfer the files right over the cable?....just an idea for those modders with no cash...although if anyone is interested i can get some 32mb jump drivers for around 15+shippin to you

[joedm]

oh yeah forgot to mention, I have an xbox v1.6b and my usb memory stick works fine on it =P.

I did try a card reader with cf card of course and also tried my usb portable laptop harddrive with no luck. The just went down to the computer store and purchased a 32MB usb memory stick for $15 AUD. Works a treat. I noticed DSE selling 128Mb usb memory sticks for $30, oh well at least my trusty 32MB does the job.

Hi forthex, thank you for the excellent tutorial.

However, my USB device didn't work for my new v1.6 NTSC xbox (K5838 D5960). Can I ask you and all other experienced users a few questions?

Here is my situation. I used an Olympics D510 digital camera with 64MB smartmedia, which is in the compatible list here. After I connected the digital camera to the xbox via a USB adpater, xbox said the memory card was not working and would be erased. I pressed A and the 64 MB card was formatted. Then on the TV screen I could see the memory card besides the harddrive. The card information was also displayed when the card was selected (something like 3998 blocks and 3998 blocks free). I could also personalize the memory card i.e. input a lable for the card. I haven't tried to copy a gamesave from xbox HDD to the memory card because I don't know how to do that and there's only one game save (Dance Dance Revolution UltraMix2) on the xbox HDD. I couldn't find an option to copy this save to the memory card.

On the PC side, I installed the AR software, modified the .inf file under Drivers directory, updated the driver for the USB storage, and was able to drag and drop the exploit gamesave files into the AR interface. It's just the digital device that
couldn't be recognized by the AR software (The grey AR circle turned green for a second and then turned grey)

I have tried all three versions of AR software (1.05, 1.20, and 1.31), and used each driver of the three versions (basically all the combinations). Still the same result: AR software couldn't find the USB device. The last two versions both gave the error message of "USB device failed to enumerate". I've already tried the "uninstall, reinstall, reboot" method, still without success.


So my questions are:

1. What is your exact problem when your usb device is not compatible with your v1.6 xbox? Is it similar to mine or not?

2. Does anyone has any insights about this?

At the mean time I will borrow and try some other USB drives as well.

Thanks in advance.

One more question to all experienced users:

3. Many of you mentioned that some USB devices didn't work. Did you mean that the xbox couldn't recognize the device thus couldn't format it, or that the device was formatted into FATX but the AR software on PC couldn't find it?

I solved my problem. Solution here.

this is great, im gonna try this soon.

I seem to have a problem with my Sweex 128 Mb memory stick, which is clearly listed on the compatibility list on how2xbox.com, but when I plug it in, it says that my memory disk isn't functioning and may be damaged.
BTW, my PC can only format it to 124 mB, anyone have thoughts on this?
