OK here's a wierd one.

I tried to uninstall Krayzies softmod using option 1) but when I rebooted the Xbox I got ExoX dash with two options (Launch Disc & System Settings). So I tried options 2) and 3) and it's still doing the same thing.

I've even tried running Slayers NEW INSTALL / FULL REBUILD - RETAIL HD but it's still no use.

How on earth can I get the Xbox back to retail?

EDIT: I have a chipped Xbox if that can be used to help.

you can:

a: either make the rescue disc and use that to restore
b: ftp back a dash to E:\dashboard and then start over using the installers uninstall function
c: put in your exploitable game and then use the installers uninstall function
d: well there should be more options but the above seems to be the easiest

Thanks krayzie I'll give them a go.

The rescue disc worked at treat thanks.

Just out of interest why weren't the other methods removing it?

I don't know what you used but the virtual C was preventing it.

OK, so i completely screwed the pooch, I softmoded my box off the online tut. from techfreaks v.2, and all worked fine and dandy and so I started to try and burn halo 2 (among other games) to my original hdd, it got to a good start, so i left it and screwed around for a few hours as it copied... ANYWAY ... It didnt work it said it loaded almost all of them but wouldnt load the last one, so I gave up... being a |\|00|3 at the time, I got pissed, and started to delete anything I saw on the Dash, so, then I turned it off and then on with the tray open to open the programming mode and when I did I again did a bunch of deletes and then before I hit delete mods and reset MS dash, I deleted the Gamesave exploits and any other save i saw on there... Then I turned it off and on then it instead of any of the dashboards showing up after the startup screen it went directly to ERROR 16 (actually I dont remember the number, BUT) I was wondering if you could help me to get it back to the default MS Dash, and maybe how to load halo 2 on the hdd without upgrading it to a larger hdd (or if I could just get the Multy-player maps)... That would be awesome...
thanks,

The xbox only boots to the evolution x menu when i have splinter cell in the disc tray, when i select the linux save checkpoint. I just want to uninstall....please help

THIS tutorial doesn't completely remove it. It only hides the softmod dashboard.

This is my problem.. I bought a used xbox today and someone had softmodded it before.. now I can't backup MS, delete any backups, install softmod, anything....

I need to figure out how to completly restore this to factory settings...

I need to figure out how to completly restore this to factory settings...

do this:

2) I used a 'virtual c:', used an exploitable game + gamesave/installer.

# Things needed : exploitable game, original MS dash (from backup or Slayers (xbins)), PC + FTP COnnection.

* Colboot using your exploitable game
* Load the gamesave you used to mod
--> You should now have FTP access.
* connect to your xbox through FTP.
* Delete everything on C:
* Delete everything on E: , except E:\Tdata en E:\Udata
* FTP your original MS dash to C:
* Reboot
--> Your xbox boots now to original dash.
* DONE

I used the option in evox to completely format my hdd. What I want to do is get the files back onto the drive so that it can work again. It doesn't read disks so im going to need to hotswap, but what im wondering is did I delete my epprom? if so how can I retrieve this so that I can use xboxhdm to repair it. Thanks.

[krayzie]

your eeprom is a chip and has nothing to do with formatting the harddrive. If you want to backup your eeprom you need a mod on your xbox. If you don't have the eeprom backup you need to hotswap

ok simple enough, thanks alot and ive been using your auto installer for my xbox and many friends, great stuff.

Hmm, I downloaded slayers 2.6 and 2.7 and both seem to be corrupted. I tried to use daemon tools to mount it so I could get the files, that didn't work, even wasted a disc.

I'll try re-downloading them later 'n hope for better luck, but if this is not possible, is there any other way for me to get the MS-Dash files?

I'm trying to get into the 'usual place' but I'm not having much luck...
