Hi !

First please excuse my approximate English ....

I found damage that your work is ignored French-speaking people.

I actually translated and slightly adapted your installer. I never intended to steal your work and I hope that you understood it thus. This is why I entirely preserved the routine of installation, without tried to hide though it is.

I hope that you will understand my approach ...

On the other hand, I ensure the follow-up of it on gueux, the French-speaking people should not thus come here to complain !

Like I said I don't consider it stealing since you don't take credit for the installer yourself. I know there is also a spanish languaged version around. I'm actually glad you picked my installer as a base since there is a lot of crappy stuff around.
My only concern was since the aboudeur installer was released on xbins a lot of non-french people used it and then came here to complain how to remove the french evox.ini. Since this version is only available through your own (French) community this problem should not occur.

I recently change my boxes from and old MA softmod to Ndure and so far everything is Great i just had a few questions:

-Since i need to set up a live account on an xbox with the mod on it already, i wanted to make sure if all i needed to do is switch off the softmod and setup my account in the M$ dash then turn the mod back on? (if this wont work what do i need to do?)

-After i backed up the eeprom and installed Ndure on a box, my friend was messing around in Evox dash and selected backup option again before i copied the original eeprom to my computer........is the backup still "Stock" and ok to use to restore the box to retail?



also just wanted to thank Krayzie.

yes you can switch off and setup your acount

and yes both the backup made by evox in the dashboard folder and the eeprom in the backups eeprom folder can be used in apps needing it.

I know PLENTY of places where you can post this file so that people don't have to jump through hoops to get it.

I am completely new to softmodding and I want to try this oen because everyone recomends it.

I do not use mirc or ftp's but I have experience with ftp. However, I hate using mirc. Why can't someone upload it to www.yousendit.com (will only take like 2 minutes to upload) and post the download link somewhere we can all EASILY get the file.

Props to Krayzie for making this.

If I have a game already in the dvd tray, and boot with the power button only, is the mod enabled or disabled? If it is enabled, why is the led green instead of orange? I have a modified samsung drive and it doesnt load up games unless the xbox is turned on with the game already in the dvd tray, and I wanted to make sure I could still go on live with this soft mod doing so.

@ Connectz: not allowed. read forums rules

@ senkel: if a retail game is in the drive the softmod will not load when booting up and you can go live just fine.

So, booting with just the power button with a retail game already in the drive is fine? I just need to make sure. I had one xbox banned from a stupid softmod mistake already. I don't want another. And also, which multiboot should I pick to do this?

senkel, starting the Xbox with the power button and an original, retail game already in the drive is called "coldbooting". It works with any purely softmodded setup on XBL (and always has) because it's a standard feature of the MS kernel's boot processing.

Ok I just upgraded from UDE to Ndure and everything works great but I cant launch my XDK dash so I cant take screen captures anmore (launched as an app with pbl) I put all the debug files back on C with the new 5960 dashboard but when I launch the XDK the dash freezes at black screen (does same thing with XIG)

What would happen if I deleted all of C and put back my backed up C? Would that mess up ndure or what? I just want to be able to take screen captures but I cant

someone please explain why I cant run my xdk dash with ndure.

ok i am completely new at this but heres my problem i have softmodded my xbox with sid and have unleash x i want to have the ndure installer so i downloaded nkpatcher10 from the usual places now i trasferd the file from nkpatcher 10 to my hd via ftp and the files are there but when i click on either .06 or.67 the screen goes blank what am i doing wrong

nkpatcher is not ndure and vice/versa.

when you are running nkpatcher your kernal is already modified, and nkpatcher is meant to run from a retail kernal.

Stupid question here:

I made it to the right place to download the ndure installer. I assume I am looking for Krayzie_Ndure_Installer_v1.0 in the tree somewhere?

What directory is it under? XBOX? PC? Auto installers? Please point me to it!

Thanks
Newb

I installed the expoilt and everything last night and all and noticed that whenever it boots to evox and the light is orange and when I cold boot and turn it on with a game in the light is green.

Is it safe to say that when I cold boot with a disc it in it is running the official bios and it is safe to go onto live and such?

@ toben: xbpx/exploitx/packages

@ shayde: yes

Thanks for all the helps guys really. Hopefully someone made a hdd fix for live 06 so I can go back to an exploit that works with xdk dash. Nice try though...

I just installed the Ndure installer and I installed the dual boot. Since I cannot access the Xbox live from the dashboard how is it possible for me to play on xbox live? How safe is this ...I don't want to get banned.

begin by reading the readme....

It says that you can safely access live in this state but when I try to access live it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

boot off the game disc.


I have installed this 2 times in the last 3 days, and im going to do another one or 2 before next weekend XD really makes it ez not having to have a pc right beside it. Of coarse i still backup the eeprom if i can though.

Where do I get the installer? Beacuse on xbins they only have like a read me.




And i've read the read me.

it's there

In the read me?

try finding where the usual places are really located and not just the xbins website. there is a faqs topic in the tutorials..

Hey Krayzie this is my first post, I just wanted to say that after reading for a long time and downloading a couple things I successfully installed Ndure and EvoX... Thanks Man, now this is where the fun starts...

i don`t know, if this was asked before. right after the normal installation there is no dualboot enabled. why? i think there is nothing bad with it. hmmm, just wonder...maybe krayzie should implement the most functional boot-option (somethin with tri-boot?) right in the normal install..

greetings, moviecut

IMO the most basic softmod is the easiest for most noobs. I don't wanna see tons of people complaining that the xbox boots strange when the tray is open like it was the case with ltools. if people wanna customize it more they should do some effort.

Thanks a lot Krayzie been using your packages for awhile ease of use, easy to understand and works like a dream. have just been to the Usual place and grabbed meself a copy of the new softmod package & can't wait to try it out.
Also thanks to all the others that participated in the creation of this new package

This is a great package. Very easy to use, and lots of checks to make it failsafe.

I was curious about this section of code, however, from config.xml:

is this just a roundabout way of creating apps, emus and games folders? or do they serve any kind of purpose?

just to create the folders. no other purposes.

Hi , I'm new to xbox. I try to softmod my one. But seem to many posts talking about that. Could you guy make a installation document and what exactly need to do is much wonderful.

I'm pretty sure that's what the readme is.

maybe I'm crazy.

hey krayzie....i was just wondering...how would someone change those folder names so that the install would end up with proper capitals and Emulators instead of emus

thanx!

Oh, and here is something else.

i'm about to install a big hard drive into my xbox (250gb)

i was under the impression that i should use nkpatcher 0.67 for this, but when i did that last night for someone else, the "Format G Drive" option never showed up.

So....the question i have is, should i still use nkpatcher 0.67?

also, i've already softmodded my current hard drive and i've got the setting just about perfect. when i install the new drive, i'd REALLY love to be able to just "plug and play" so to speak.

using XBOXHD and my current system, i plan on FTPing into the box and copying the C and E drives completely....my question is, which mode do i have to FTP into to get the proper C drive files so that i do not have to re-install the mod?

thank you

Just change it to anythin g you like ie: [CODE] <Item Action="copy" Arg1="E:\UDATA\4d530017\62D648EBF155\files\dummy.xbe" Arg2="E:\Emulators\dummy.xbe"></Item>


You can format G using Evox or unleashx. There are tutorials. Search around.

If you don't want to reinstall you need to ftp in from the gamesave installer menu. This will let you copy your real C. and E drive

Krayzie, is it possible that whatever system you have used in the Ndure mod is permanently locking hard drives?

The reason I ask is that every drive I have modded so far has locked and cannot be unlocked. XBOXHDM shows that there is no primary hard drive attached. So far this has locked 2 WD800B drives, a Seagate ST380011A and all stock drives.

Not sure if my answer is correct, but what eeprom image are you using in xboxhdm to lock the drive? It's possible you may be using an eeprom.bin of the "virtual" eeprom as opposed to the real one. Maybe someone else can tell me if this is correct?

The one you need to use (I believe) is the eeprom.bin in E:\backups

Perhaps I am wrong but isn't that an issue related to master slave configuration of the computer you are using to run xboxhdm.

hey krazyie

i brought my xbox since day one of its released
only until the last few days haha before the xbox360 release i mod my xbox

anyways i used your Ndure Installer... great job btw

question i have is.... when i get to the dashboard
the bios says UNKNOWN.. am i suppose to download a bios or something ?
or i did something wrong during the installation

thanks

No. When I mod with another gamesave exploit, I can lock and unlock the hdd as many times as I wish. As soon as I try Krayzie's method, the drives are permanently locked. This is ok if you want to tie a drive down to a single box forever, but if you want to swap it out into another box then you're stuck. Apparantly there's a Mac app that can be used to unlock frozen drives, but the download on this site appears to have gone.

frozen drives are frozen because of the bios on the pc, go onto a older pc and do it, it works perfect. I ran into the same problem the other day. There you go.

i would like to install this softmod on my friend's xbox. i have everything needed. splinter cell, a memory card, my modded xbox, ftp access, etc. but before i install this mod... i have a few questions... i read the readme and there are some things i would like to verify.
1. the xbox won't be banned from xbox live.
2. to boot to the retail dash, i would press the eject button.
3. i would be able to get the updates for live and live enabled games without being banned.
are all of these correct? thanks.

you won't be banned; nkpatcher won't let you access Live when the mod is on (if I remember correctly)...

Lets see...updates for live stuff, yes that'd work fine, cept the first time you launch them they may run dashupdate.xbe so you may need to turn off the mod for the first run and the nu can turn it back on

I got hold of an old p3 motherboard and have unlocked all the drives. Now another problem has happened.

I am modding a mate's 1.6 box (Crystal) and have run the eeprom backup and ftp'd into the box without modding. I have copied the eeprom.bin from E:\backup\ folder. When I lock any hdd to this eeprom I get error 06, which I believe is telling me the drive is locked to a different box than the one I am using the drive in. I have backed the eeprom up 4 times now and it's the same key each time.

Can anyone help me out here?

how are you locking the drives... being a v1.6 , it requires either v1.9 xboxhdm or live info b3

error 21 again!

OK I installed Krazies Ndure installer on my stock xbox and everything works. This morning I try to play madden 2005 for the first time and it wont go on live. So I load other games and they wont go on live either.

So I reopen the ndure installer and turn off the softmod. At this point I get error 21. I can reboot from a game and reopen the installer to turn softmod on, but how do I turn it off without error 21?

choose the restore msdash function....

You can only use live if you set the network settings via the modded boot first, then reboot with tray open (you get the retail dash)

I restored ms dash and it boots correctly but I still can not access xbox live from the ms dashboard with the mod turned off or the madden 2005 game. Any suggestions? Did I somehow go on live in the wrong state and

aren't there currently live updates going on? this might cause problems with connecting to live....
