I have used a ethernet power line adaptors at the rental I was in and found them to work well 1 end goes to the router plugged in to the power point and the other unit is next to the Xbox and plugged in to the power point and a cat5 cable to your Xbox so no network cable running over the floor. Like this sort of thing Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.

I was informed that the Xbox menu would go to it's "Blue Screen" before it stopped powering on. The way I read this is it was modded and stopped working and as there has been no mention of a modchip I am thinking it was soft modded. I tell people with PC's to make backup's maybe Xbox users should be doing the same backup the game saves to a memory card or USB. It's also why I push for Modchips/TSOP flashing then you can run with the drive unlocked, If the xbox dies swap the drive to a new Xbox that's been modded and away you go ,It saves having to stuff around reading the eeprom and unlocking/locking hard drives. Plus it the drive stops working just put a new drive in and run your install disk to setup the new HDD Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like having a wank, It gets the job done, but it's nothing like the real thing.

Is there any lights on the front panel flashing? If that's the screen when it was booting or should boot to I would say it was soft modded. One way would be read the eeprom on the dead version 1.6 and write that to a working version 1.6 the swap the drive and then you will have a working Xbox with you old info/saves, But it may be the eeprom thats at fault then you will have 2 dead Xbox's. The hard drive will be locked but the unlock key maybe "XBOXSCENE " or 'TEAMASSEMBLY" By using a program like XBOXhdm you may be able to unlock the drive and copy the UDATA folder Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod.

Yes but it is still FTPing using the UnleashX's built in File Manager FTP client. Essentially it works just like the File Manager does normally except the right hand pane is another Xbox. Connect the two Xboxes using a cross-over cable and make sure they're both set to Static addresses and have different IPs ie. primary Xbox set to the default 192.168.0.2 and the other 192.168.0.3. Turn both on and use the UnleashX dash which can be either as your main dash or installed as an app. Go to the UX File Manager and use the White button context menu. Scroll down to the use FTP option and enable that. In the right hand pane you'll need to set up a new connection so name it and put in the details ie. the IP address of the other Xbox and save. Use it and it should connect and show all the other Xbox's drive folders. You can browse through either Xbox's content just shift between the two panes using the left and right triggers. The FTP transfer menu is again found using the White button and works very much like using the UX File Manager to copy between two locations on the same Xbox. Once you click Transfer it will start immediately. Positives:- It works better than any other method, at least any practical one. The Xbox FTPClient application you can find is a poor alternative with a lousy GUI and hideous control system. The speed of transfer is reasonable but do not expect it to be PC fast. Disconnects are not unknown but in my experience far less than when FTPing to a Xbox from PC. If you're used to the UnleashX File Manager's GUI, which IMHO is as good as it gets, you'll take to it like a duck to water. Negatives:- The progress bar is all but useless. The UnleashX File Manager has a few quirks - it does not like anything it recognises as a text file but has no recognised extensions. It is fine with .txt, .nfo, .xml, .cfg and maybe some others but anything else without an extension and the transfer will stop with an error. Unfortunately a lot of XBMC installs with Python script stuff and some plugins do contain such files typically the README and CHANGE (Changelog). Emulator content also may include similar problem text files too. My theory is that these files are OK if you used a XBMC main dash when FTPing from a PC because that has a built in file parser but you're now running on UnleashX dash/File Manager rules. So despite it being a transfer from one Xbox to another you do get this annoying little problem. It is easily fixed by checking in the provided error log and if it is a text file issue, finding it and giving the file an UX friendly extension. It should transfer then no trouble. However possibly having to do that multiple times and then restart the transfer again gets tiresome very quickly. Hope this helps.

There is a minimum number of posts on the forums you need to have. It’s about three or five. Though to make things easier here’s s link to the current revision Download cheers!

It would... unfortunately I've went through the forum code extensively and have yet to find the message so that I can modify it.
