im using the exact same 50 digit password for everything, and im still getting error 5 and 6. i remember reading that the master password was set to xboxscene, and xboxscene, in front of my 50 digit password, is in a log file i have on my floppy. but i dont know what to do.

like i said, im using the same password over and over, and error over and over. someone please help. thanks.

My suggestion is to use xboxhdm v1.9 with your eeprom from your orignal xbox hard drive to make a .iso boot disk. From there use the boot disk to read your hard drive info and make a floppy disk. After that use the floppy disk to automatically lock your hard drive with the keys that are automatically produce by your eeprom file.

dont have eeprom. i JUST installed the UDE2 stuff, and upon completion and reboot, this string of errors started.

oops...typo there. i counted each digit of the password ive been using and its 40 digits. the password im using is the one i got from liveinfo, after a hotswap...that password should be the right one, right?

anyway, if i can solve this problem, is there a fix to it, like restoring my hard drive from a saved image? thanks.

well, if you installed ude installer, it automatically makes a back up folder in e called
linux_Backup, it think. it has your eeprom.bin in it. And i think xboxhdm has a file explorer so i would use this to fix it.

but if your key was copied wrong you might be S.O.L.

yea, it made the backup. how do i use it? i can find, but dont know how to use it.

anyway, i copied my key exactly as i saw it, and checked it about 5 times. i didnt mess that one up. anyway, more help if you guys have it...thanks.

just put the eeprom.bin from that backup in the eeprom folder in xboxhdm. make a new
boot cd and use the "lock with eeprom on disk" option in xboxhdm.

thats how i would do it.

[xmastermindx]

how do i get the eeprom.bin out of that backup that was made?

also, is the eeprom.bin that i can get from liveinfo useful? and if so, what would the open file look like (so i can know i have the right one)?

anyone out there?

[toolwerx]

ive never used live info but my guess is that if its called eeprom.bin then its the one you
need. stick it in the eeprom folder in xboxhdm and make a new iso.

[xmastermindx]

nah, the eeprom.bin that i got from liveinfo (a windows utility) isnt the correct one. anyone have more ideas? any way to salvage my drive? i can lock it and unlock it and install exploits to it, etc, but it wont boot, and i have the password that liveinfo gave me for the drive. the liveinfo password unlocked it in the first place.

i used atapwd to disable lock/unlock so that when i rebooted my machine to run xboxhdm, my xbox hd wouldnt lock again. then, once it was done installing UDE exploit, i relocked it, then this string of errors 5 and 6 started. so, like i said, anyone have any more ideas? thanks.
