Reaching retail kernel through Xenium Mod chip with Prometheus


Recommended Posts

Hello, guys! I just have a quick inquiry regarding loading into a retail kernel for a modded Xbox  separately from loading Cerbios. I assume it's flashed onto bios options somehow? I'm using an Open Xenium mod chip on all the systems work with; and I have a premade 1tb SSD I've been cloning my Team Resurgent dashboard, games, emulators, etc for quite a while now. I had a customer reach out who was wanting to use Insignia for live service and one of the steps requires loading into the retail kernel to log in to Xbox live again. I personally never use the retail kernel with my mods anyhow so I don't know hot to make the system able to load into the retail kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or possibly a way to circumvent needing to use the retail kernel for Insignia maybe?

Go into your Openxenium settings, go to add/remove bios, add bios, select retail/onboard bios, thats it.
You can then upon booting into openxenium goto select bios, then retail.

So when I do this I get a service required error 12. It starts the boot animation for the original retail kernel then just errors out.

There are some fixes that might help depending whats wrong with it and which model it is. This is the downside of the retail kernal with DVD check etc and your hard drive has to be locked as well.

Okay, I will try and lock the HDD and see if that helps.

You only need to be able to access the original MS dash to login, you can be running Cerbios when you do that. The insignia setup app needs to be run first to register the console and after that you will be able to login. The original MS bios is not needed. In fact, on a stock console you have to at least softmod temporarily (or at the very least use the ENDGAME exploit) to run the Insignia setup app as it is unsigned software. 

Just make sure you have working copy of the latest retail MS dash in your C drive and you should be good to go. You should setup a shortcut xbe to the xboxdash.xbe in your E/F/G Apps folder so the dash can be easily accessed and that should be enough. 

Have done this on multiple consoles, all running Cerbios.

I was just about to reply that I got it solved. Basically, what you said is exactly what the issue was. I was missing all the xboxdash.xbe files and whatnot in the C drive. Have you used the Resurgent Dash before? I can add the Xboxdash.xbe to a "favorite" selection, but it'd be nice to have it inside the Applications menu options on the dashboard itself. I can probably figure it out over time, but thank you all for the assistance!

Which replacement dashboard?  UnleashX...

If so, add the following line to the <Menu> section of config.xml where you want it to appear in the menu:

I add mine outside of any other List subsections so it is one of the main menu items.

If you want it inside the Applications menu, add the line above into the Applications <List></List> section of the meu:

<List Text="Applications" Sort="On" Auto="On">
            <Path>E:\Apps</Path>
            <Path>F:\Apps</Path>
            <Path>G:\Apps</Path>
            <Item Action="TextEditor">Text Editor</Item>
            <Item Action="C:\xboxdash.xbe">MS Dashboard</Item>
        </List>

I am currently running the XBMC4Gamers with Team Resurgent dashboard.

SO you are running XBMC4Gamers with the Team Resurgent skin. Ok. If you want to add the MSDash to your apps folder then you have a couple of choices. The easiest way is to access the downloader within XBMC4Gamers. Goto Settings (black button iirc) the downloader should be in there. go into it and you should find a link to the MS Dash. Download it and it should setup a link in your apps folder automatically iirc...... 

The other way is to use XBE Shortcut Maker to create an xbe file that links to c:/xboxdash.xbe and drop it in your apps folder as follows (F:/Apps/MS Dash). Substitue F for E/G depending on where your apps folder is. Re;load your XBMC4Gamers dash or just reboot the console and it should then show up under apps.
