Hello.

I'm having problems upgrading the hard drive on this Halo Edition xbox1. It's not the first time i've done a hard drive upgrade on an xbox. Both of the drives i've tried are listed as being compatible.

I keep getting an 06 error when the xbox boots.

Are the halo editions different then the regular ones or is there some minor detail i'm missing.

Halo Xboxes are the same as all other Xboxes, just in a box made of different coloured plastic.

It would help if you gave us some sensible information to work on......

How is the Xbox modded? If softmodded, which softmod? Which method are you using to build the new disk?

Sorry about that.

Soft-modded using the splinter cell exploit. Using xboxhdm1.9 to build the new disk.

Like i said, it's not the first hdd upgrade I've done. It just seems the hardest.

Splinter Cell is simply a game used to install the softmod. Which softmod did you install?

How did you get the eeprom?

I used ndure. I got the eeprom via FTP.

This is like pulling teeth.

NDURE is an exploit, not a softmod. The softmod would be Krayzie or SID, or maybe something else.

FTP doesn't get you the eeprom from the Xbox motherboard, it is a protocol to transfer files between computers. How did you extract the eeprom.bin file from the eeprom chip on the Xbox in the first place?

I know what FTP is. and that's how i got the eeprom.bin from the xbox.

how can i delete this thread? it seems to be getting either of us no where. Ill figure it out on my own.

OK. You are getting error 6 because you are using the wrong eeprom, but figuring out what you've done to end up with the wrong eeprom (and the easiest way to get the right one) is no more than guess work unless you can provide some detail about which softmod you have used, and how you obtained the eeprom.

It's likely that you will need to bypass virtual eeprom and take a fresh copy of the eeprom, but as I said that's only a guess given your lack of detail.

I used Krayzie's softmod.

Run Krayzie Extras (which you should have installed at E:\Apps\Extras\default.xbe). Select "Launch Extras", and the LED will turn red. Select "Update virtual eeprom", then when Evox launches select "Backup eeprom", then select "Continue to update virtual eeprom". When UnleashX relaunches select "Update virtual eeprom".

Once you are back at the UnleashX dashboard, use FTP to copy e:\apps\extras\files\eeprom\backup\eeprom.bin to your PC.

Use that eeprom.bin, and follow the instructions at the link in my signature - "Build a new softmod disk with eeprom".

I used Krayzie_SC-NTSC_UXE_Installer_Dutch-English_v2.8 and i see no option for "Krayzie Extra".

Did i miss an installation step somewhere?

that installer is UXE (very old) not NDURE

I ended up obtaining Krayzie_SC-NTSC_Ndure_Installer_v1.1.


Followed Heimdall suggestions from earlier in this thread and it didnt seem to help the situation. Still can't get a bigger HDD to work with the xbox. Still get 06 error code.

re-read

error 6
hdd locked with wrong eeprom

Yeah, i re-read it a few different times. Ended up making the CD 3 times as well. Same issue each time.

I was able to upgrade the other two xbox's I have without an issue.

So there is something more to the Halo edtion.

Lets try a different approach. Shall we?

First thing, if you put the original hard drive back into your Xbox, does it still boot and work fine?

IF SO, Google Heimdalls Xbox ENgineering disc, or HEXEN for short. Burn that ISO to a DVD-R and boot it with your original xbox HD installed. Use that to update your current Krayzie softmod to a newer Krayzie version. Once you do that, you can then try Heimdalls advice again..

something tells me that some one needs to boot hexen, go through the hard disk deleting all the eeprom.bin files
then tell hexen to Back up the eeprom.

the only eeprom that will then be on the hard disk will be the correct one.

Im not sure where the op is getting the wrong eeprom files from...

Unless they arent doing "Lockhd -a".... and instead are doing "lockhd -p"
or something so the drive gets locked without using the eeprom..

boots fine with original hdd in there. downloading HEXEN and will give that a try.



after obtaining the eeprom.bin file via FTP and using xboxhdm to create the drive, i was indeed using "lockhd -a"
