Mahbyt Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hello guys, We just bought an old Xbox and when trying to install Rocky5 on it using Splinter Cell, we only get a black screen when loading the save. The front LED turned to red and nothing. The TV still says it has a 50Hz signal coming. The saves we used previously modded another Xbox successfully, is there something we're missing? Like a hardware revision limitation or rewriting the saves ? Thanks in advance bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahbyt Posted April 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 It's all good. We swapped the cables (and even the TV) with the other console we setup this morning and it went just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosEngineer Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 After copying the two save files, the Splinter Cell checkpoint game save (5553000c) and the softmod installer save (21585554), to the HDD, reboot/power cycle the console before running the game and loading the game save that starts the softmod installer.

Smuey Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Have you had any succes with this? Used the techniques described above on an XBox this morning and it went fine, but running it on another one now, even with the troubleshooting steps mentioned above, I'm still getting just a black screen, red light and nothing else.

Hey hi, i just softmodded my xbox and had the same black screen issue. The solution for me was: After rebooting into the dashboard, go under video settings and change mode from 16:9 wide screen to normal. Hope it might still help someone out there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Deane Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Had that earlier today and yep as some of the others have already said, just rebooted and was fine. Glad you got it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantlittleman Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'll add my two cents for what it's worth. Ran into this same issue and found I had to unplug the cable for it to register on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 After you install anything or change any setting on the Xbox always reboot. Some settings changes actually require you shut down the Xbox and restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 After copying the two softmod game save folders, one for the game to exploit it and the softmod installer folder itself, to the Xbox's hard drive before booting the game and trying to install it, power cycle the console.

After copying the Xbox Softmodding Tool saves to the hard drive, power cycle the console before running the game and loading the exploit game save. Otherwise, 99.99% of the time, you'll get a black screen and RED eject ring. After power cycling and trying again, it will work. Not exactly sure why it happens.
