Xboxhdm software

Then you can lift the whole black plastic HDD tray out. The HDD power cable is routed through it to make your life harder. All Xbox HDDs must be locked in order for the system to boot. When the system is first powered on the HDD asks it for a a key. If the system provides the correct key then the HDD is unlocked. It will remain unlocked for as long as it's powered, and will return to a locked state as soon as it loses power.

It's important to note that any loss of power will cause the HDD to relock, the system doesn't have to tell it to or anything. Luckily relocking isn't really a big deal, since the Xbox has the key to unlock it again. If something goes wrong during the hotswap for instance the CD times out before you complete the hotswap you can simply turn everything off and start over.

Leave only your CD drive as the secondary master. However, you will plug the IDE cable from the Xbox into it. This will require the Xbox and PC to be quite close. You'll want to practice the motion you'll have to do a few times with the power off.

Keep in mind you'll be doing this while everything is powered up and running, so there is a good chance you'll die. Also the HDD spins very fast while on, and in general doesn't take kindly to violent shakes, so try to remove the IDE cable gently. You'll want to set up your PC to boot from CD. Also a quick note. Now that you are all practiced and ready it's show time. When you're ready you'll power on the PC, wait a second or two and then power on the Xbox.

As soon as the Microsoft dash is loaded go into your soundtracks and play a song, as soon as it starts playing you can be sure the HDD is unlocked, so you can pause it. Now your PC should be at the xboxhdm main menu, waiting for your choice. If the hotswap went well xboxhdm should load. If not it's a sign you've angered the mighty warlord Odin.

Determine what you did wrong and fix it, least he unleash his wolves Geri and Freki upon you. When you are prompted you will enter "xbrowser", which will load the xbrowser. This will let you navigate to your Ndure folder, and run your Ndure script ndure.

This will launch Ndure, where you will want to choose option 1 "Install Ndure [Install only ndure files]". Ndure will then mod your Xbox.

There are 3 steps and it takes roughly 10 minutes. Often time errors will show up, I've had success with the "ignore it and hope it goes away" policy. The Xbox should be modded now.

Congratulations you've brought glory to Odin's name. I'll take this opportunity to go over some Xbox basics so you can follow along. First up there are 5 partitions on the HDD.

C: - default dashboard stuff as well as the mod, generally don't mess with C:. D: - DVD drive. E: - This is the main drive where you will be installing apps and what not. X: Y: Z: - these are caches, each about MB in size, they are required to play Xbox games, and probably for a lot of the mod stuff too. You won't mess with them. Generally if you put a bigger HDD in you put all the extra space in F:, leaving E: at the default size.

If you are sticking with the stock HDD you will put everything on E:. Next thing is FTP. FTP is the best way to access the files on the Xbox, and is pretty easy to set up.

Hit connect and it should work. If not you'll have to find a more in depth Xbox FTP tutorial. It should be pretty easy to figure out what's going on.

It's probably a good idea to explore the folders mainly on E: a bit. Then there's the Xbox filesystem and programs. NKPatcher, this is the second stage of the Softmod. This is what patches the kernel after the NDURE exploit is executed and gives you all the lovely unsigned code and fancy features. At the top of each menus there is an "Information" button, this will give you a description of the menu you are in.

If you are a windows user, I have created batch files to do most of the heavy lifting, so it makes my life and yours simple when building stuff. I would like to thank the following, without there contributions to the Xbox scene we would not have what we have today.

James for such an amazing dashboard, without his work on UnleashX there would be no Softmod installers as we know it. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats commits. Failed to load latest commit information. App Sources. C Partition. Extras Disc. Installer Variants. Save Folder. Build Disc Save. Build Files. Did you add code to the source of it or is it there already and just need to be enabled?

I will compile it myself if I can. Thank you! It stuck on this screen for the past 15 minutes. Any ideas? You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: xboxhdm23usb Post by xbmc4you » Sat Feb 24, pm This is great news! I was worried ldotsfan disappeared with xbox-scene. However, when I choose option 2. Enter Choice: If I hit enter I'm brought back to the main menu, if I hit 1 then enter I'm brought back to the main menu I'm sure it's probably something super simple I'm missing here Code: Select all :: Get list of USB Devices. Can I use this application to install the softmod files onto my drive without erasing what is on there?

I really don't want to have to d-rtransfer everything. This will install my softmod installer that will load on first boot on the Xbox. I see this useful for people who want to : Upgrade their xbox with a larger HD either by cloning or building from scratch Rescue or rebuild a corrupt xbox HD.

Install the official softmod package including the audio and font hack, Evox and PBL 1. You also have the option to make a patched copy of you MS dashboard to be run from Evox when using the font hack.

Do not use this package is you do not have a kernel below and dashboard version This is meant to provide users without memcards or any of the exploitable games MA,SC, with an easy to use softmod package. Have a stable package to access and delete, move, change files on the xbox HD. An included program will also let you rebuild the C-drive alone, which could be very usefull if this has become corrupted, if you are in a clock loop and dont know how to manually restore the C-drive or if you need to downgrade the dashboard.

This is all done by letting you boot to a small live-linux with fatx support, like xlinux, but with so many more tools and options.
