I've had it confirmed on another forum that your retail BIOS version doesn't make a difference for softmodding.

I have the same issue.. one on a sid soft mod and one on rocky5's 1.1.7 mod as well. For the rocky mod I put the detacher application and the extras disc in the applications folder and launched it from there, that worked (found this info in the forum from rocky). This did not work for my sid modded xbox though, still stuck there. Trying to upgrade it to rocky's.

I got this sorted. There has been a late update to the extras disc for this issue. Download the latest version from Google Drive and use the latest prebuilt .iso Worked perfectly for me.

Hi, I'm a new memeber and this is my first post.

I've recently dug out my softmodded OG Xbox 1.6. I modded it maybe 10 years ago then didn't really do anything with it. I remember having it connected to a PC via IDE to carry out the mod, other than that not sure about versions etc.

I connected it via component and get a screen that is heavily tinted green after the boot screen. I found some info that this may be due to a poor softmod?

In order to try to repair this/update my softmod I have tried to run JCRock5's Extras disc, but it always gets stuck at the splash screen saying "Retail 5838 BIOS DETECTED". I have tried it from disc and iso, cold boot and launcher, always with the same result.

I have also tried the Quick Updater and Upgrader which run but both come up with the error "Xbox softmodding tool not installed".

A couple of other things I noticed: My G and F drives were not visible. I enabled these in the UnleashX menu which showed the F drive as 0mb but still no G drive. I ran the UnleashX format tool which gave me a 2gb F drive. I tried this for the G drive but it is still not visible.

I have also managed to update UnleashX to the latest build via FTP.

Any help would be much apreciated. Thanks.
