Used MA vs and worked like a charm. Thanks Krayzie and everyone else who had a hand in developing this.

Can anyone confirm that this is safe to use with live? 'Cause if it is, then I just pee'd a little.

nothing is 100% safe.. Its a nice alternative to coldbooting.. and so far nobody got banned using this exploit so I would say it pretty safe. Make sure you dont delete the savegame though since if update happens, it has teh possibility to ruin the softmod.

Ok. The readme kinda makes it sound like the ability to access live will be implemented in later versions... I guess not. Cool.

Is this a bug or something, the led is orange sometimes?

led is orange when its in modded state and in retail green.

I think Live is horrible and I cancelled it, but yes, I've been on Live a few dozen times without getting banned.

What would be safer for live sceee or krayzie ndure?? By the way, this is great its more than i thought it would be!!!!!

Both are probably the same risk. NDure is just easier to me.

How do i turn the led being orange off?

The Ndure method, as implemented by kingroach's 2.x and krayzie's 1.x, has been used on XBL for about a month now, without incident.

The original method (as implemented by Cio, kingroach's 1.x and ipodder2003) has been on XBL for even longer, without incident.


(Ndure includes 'rmenhal' in its name to commemorate almost everything that resulted in it ... http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=392536)

I installed the softmod and the dual-retail and everything went well...but when i boot my xbox with the eject button and go to my xbox live menu, whenever i press on say my friends list, it just goes to a black screen...I tried it on 2 xboxes and it does the same thing.

you cannot acces the xbox live dashboard in dual retail state. You would have to switch the softmod off if you want to. It's in the readme...

In Unleash X: Settings-->System-->Scroll down to LED settings.--> Change default to whatever you desire. Cheers!

I'm not sure how to do it in Evox... sorry

But it's ok to boot with the eject button and go get updates for games on xbox live right?

yes

Thank you so much for this fantastic installer... It's so simple to use and does everything a chip would do. Thanks

Krazyie, this is an amazing product you have delivered. I accessed the FTP not long after the README was posted and obtained all three+ versions on this. I actually thought for a second there, that I had snuck into your ftp, then later on that day I saw your post and realized you did that on purpose. Either way u did a great job kudos!
Now for my ?'s in regards to this...When i coldboot retail Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike and login to XBL it tells me it cant login and then asks if id like to troubleshoot settings. Once I hit ok to troubleshoot it then begins to update the dash. I think to fix the connection aspect of this problem I need to set the dash to STATIC in both MS Dash, installer dash, as well as the Installed dash. I say this because part of the README says this, but i admit im a little confoozed. Any help would be most appreciated! and again Thank You !

If you need a static ip: go to your dashboard (evox or unleashx) go to settings and set your network stuff to whatever you need . then load up your exploitable game and go the the softmod menu and then go to settings and set your netwoirk stuff also. Now all stages in where you come across will have the right network settings so you should be able to keep those settings all the way through.

Does it matter if you recieve dash updates from ms with this softmod ??

Judging by how this works it shouldn't but I just wan't conformation .

it won't affect the softmod

just added to xbins

quick question(s) for Krayzie/others.

#1 Does or possibly CAN the ndure/sceee installer that you have designed have the ability to uninstall the softmod and reinstall the softmod without the exploitable game? I know the app is designed to turn it on or off. If not (which I am suspecting) CAN the app be tweaked for this, or would the portion of code that you need from the exploitable game be to large to fit onto a mem card?

None of the EE exploits can have the ability to completely restore the C drive since the EEE itself is located on the C drive. The best you could do is restore the C root to stock so just the dashdata folder contains modded files. The UEEE is worhtless anyway since it denies xblive dashboard acces. So only the SCEEE would be somewhat "usefull" but is way too large to fit on a mem card. But since the files needed for SCEEE are also on a SC disc there could be other possibilities for SC owners.

Hi
I was wondering what the procedure was to back up the xbox drive via FTP to do an upgrade (via xboxhdm) with a shadowc enabled like in this softmod. Is there anything I need to know?
Thanks

You need to access the softmod menu, it is virtual C free.

I don't have an option to clear the cache in extras

v1.0 xb
160Gb hd
ndure 1.0

I had previously with your UXE 2.8 SC Pal installer could something have been left behind when i removed this mod?

by the way Krayzie you are THE man good work and thanks

Back from vacation and look what showed-up. Looking forward to trying it out.

it should be there. The cache is cleared also during the installation.

anything I should know before dropping in a new upgraded HD and using this? I have already install it on one of my stock xbox's, and it works 100% (used MA), awesome job man.

Okay, I've searched around all over the scene to try and understand to the best of my ability if what I believe the correct way to go about doing this is right.

I recently bought a second Xbox because my friend wants to buy the one I have now from me. I made the mistake of creating my Live! account on the old Xbox before upgrading my HD, but I never went on to Live! after the upgrade so I beleive I should be safe from being previously banned. With this new Xbox I want to go about it the right way by upgrading the HD first before I recover the account on it (Because of current Marriage Theory of eeprom.bin and HD serial number being linked after installation of Live!).

1. Softmod stock HD with NDURE installer.
2. FTP into stock HD and copy the eeprom.bin to the linux>eeprom folder in xboxhdm 1.9 as well as copy the entire modded C:\ from the Xbox to the xboxhdm's linux>C folder.
3. Make the bootable disc for xboxhdm and do the proceedure to unlock and lock the drive as well as create the Xbox partitions for the new HD and copy over the files for the Xbox C:\ drive and eeprom.bin file from the xboxhdm boot disc.
4. After doing the steps to set up the new HD for use, put the new HD back into the xbox and boot up.
5. Revert back to retail state by switching the softmod off.
6. Access the Live! account recovery feature and re-activeate my XBL account from my older Xbox.
7. Enjoy XBL with retail games by cold booting games with the eject button using the dual retail multiboot, almost worry free of being banned. (I know it isn't 100% fool proof)

That is how I believe its supposed to be done, but I'm not 100% positive. The tutorial for xboxhdm by Kingroach says to put the Slayer's C:\ content onto the xboxhdm linux>C folder for the bootable disc, but I remember putting the modified files from the modded stock HD into the linux>C folder when i upgraded the HD on the older Xbox. I'd appriciate it if anyone can confirm if what I think is the way to do it is correct. Thank you guys for your time, I know its a long post.

Oh and if it matters, the old Xbox was a 1.6. The one I just bought is a 1.6b or whatever version the ones manufactured on April of 2005 are.

Krayzie thanks for the reply

I played a couple of games and it now is there as an option dunno if i was just being dumb (probably)

Need some help with Krayzie SC-NTSC Ndure Installer...i got the Krayzie_SC-NTSC_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar on to my xbox but when i try to load the save for sc...there is no sc save...when i check the save my xbox...these is only linux installer on it...what did i do wrong?can someone help?

@Millions Knives, xboxhdm has some checksums so it doesnt copy modified xboxdash.xbe in the C:\ root.. so if you use the modded C drive, after building the hd. In xbrowser make sure that it copied xboxdash.xbe to C:\ root correctly..
other than that your plan looks fine..

I have all ready set this up on my v1.4, unfortunetly on the stock HD. I realized after a few minutes, stock just isn't going to cut it so I'm going to drop an 80gb in it.. I know this is a bit of a nub question, but should I follow along the lines of what Millions Knives is suggesting, or something along the lines of this guide?

Thanks!

That guide will be fine. You can also use this guide.

So my best bet is to just copy the C:\ files from Slayer's into xboxhdm's linux>C folder and then just reinstall the softmod after I put the drive into the Xbox.

hey peeps everythin cool..this is my first post by da way.

Hi,

i have altered the installation a little, to use my own files and a choice for a version specific font file...

Is there anyway to auto detect the version number?

It works like a charm... i was able to receive game updates on live...

Terrific job !!

With kind regards
Marco

there should be ways to detect the kernel version but it requires you to be some wizkid and put together some xbe that scans the kernel version. From my understanding an xbox that doesn't work with the generic fonts have yet to be discovered.

Hi krayzie,
First I would to congratulations! I did a VERY GOOD work on this installer.
BTW, I have a Xbox (v1.6) which generic fonts don't work, I got some issues with them.
i.e. If I reboot the xbox via EvolutionX menu with the tray open, the xbox frooze in a black screen. So, I put the fonts for kernel 5838, then it works fine.
Hope, you know what I'm doing wrong or if the xbox just work with generic fonts.
Thx

Well there the first experiencing problems with generic. since you allready solved it by setting the specific fonts you do nothing wrong.

Nice installer. Its a shame UnleashX never (appears to) provides an option to pass on the kernel version to another XBE, because the information handling systems it provides are pretty complex itself.

Some guy on IRC asked me of he had the 'real version' of Krayzie's installer so here's some MD5 hashes:

bed720271e9e4a016603d86ef0f758bb *Krayzie_007_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
6a8170f47ae4127a82d8dffc308df626 *Krayzie_MA_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
ba9181ca38b1cd7e1cf064f5bed660d4 *Krayzie_SC-NTSC_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar
d349d2642995d771a530997094f26fcb *Krayzie_SC-PAL_Ndure_Installer_v1.0.rar

MD5summer.com is where the utility I used to generate these hashes is downloadable.

If I have the free time I'll make an Ndure Complete.
I just haven't kept up with these new tri-boot XBE's and such so I have no idea where to start off.

I rarely break the rule if using just plain English on these forums, but this release calls for a congratulation in Dutch....

Je hebt de lat weer hoog gelegd. Weer absolute klasse! Proficiat, ben nu de final aan het uitpluizen, had helaas wat weinig tijd voor de beta, maar probeer als gebruikelijk mijn steentje bij te dragen!

Cheers!

P.

-=If you get a rename error during initial installation using krayzie's ndure installer 1.0=-
Double Check:
-c:\xboxdashdata.185ead00\ exists (5960 Dashboard)
-You have run the eeprom backup (e:\backups\eeprom\backup\eeprom.bin exists)
-c:\msxboxdash.xbe does not exist
-c:\xboxdash.xbe exists
-c:\test\ does not exist
-e:\backups\eeprom\backup\test.bin does not exist
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config.xml exists
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config1.xml does not exist
-e:\UDATA\########\############\config2.xml exists

I'm pretty sure this list is ordered by probability.. Previous mods/attempts may cause these issues.. No other condition will cause a rename error during initial installation...

so should i update my softmod to this new softmod, or am i still ok with the old 2.8 version.

@ don_m3g4: If you feel satisfied with what you are using now there's no real need to upgrade.

@ triggernum5: Thanks for going through my script and exctract the rename lines. Next version will contain the "improved" scripts.

@ soullar: Geen probleem. Dank voor het testen en heb dankzij jou toch een paar kleine aanpassingen kunnen maken.

Is it possible to disable Multiboot? I am wondering if it's possible to do this, and then do in to network/Live settings by running MSdash from EvoX or UnleashX. If so, this would be much easier than having to turn the softmod on and off in order to change network settings.
Cheers.

"network" and "live" settings aint exactly the same. Network/video/audio settings are saved in the EEPROM, and since the modded state uses a virtual eeprom (unmodded used the real eeprom) they differ.

My suggestion: Use the settings tab in M$ dash (unmodded) to change the real eeprom settings. You cant use the live dashboard unless you unmod your c drive. Use any dash to change the network settings in modded state.

You can also remove the virtual eeprom by replacing your nkpatcher (run a BIOS loader or savegame exploit to disable the virtual C) BUT beware that you dont edit/flash your eeprom with shit then or your box wont boot (hard to do but not impossible).
