johnyept Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I installed Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool v1.1.6 on both my v.12 and v1.6. The clock is set to autoset the time /date but it seems to be getting the wrong timezone, and I can't find where to change it. Could it be it needs a different SMTP IP address? I'm on GMT +0 (Lisbon, London). Edited August 24, 2019 by johnyept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi johnyept As I have never used a soft mod I am only going by when hard moded. I think you will need to access the original dash and there is a time zone setting there. SS Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyept Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thanks for the input. In the meanwhile I was messing around with the NKPatcher and nulled the HDD drive key before backing up the EEPROM and now it boots up to error 05, but I'll start a new topic about that and come back to this one once the HDD is back to working order...

KaosEngineer Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 If you are getting error 05, NKPatcher in Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool is broken. It should not leave the hard drive in an unlocked state. It should have locked it with the new password generated with the new NULL'd password. Did it show that there were several different steps being performed when you NULL'd the key? The last step should have been locking the drive. You didn't happen to power off the console in the middle of the process, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 The first thing to do after softmodding is to backup the eeprom.bin file to your PC. Installation of Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool told you several times to make sure you backup the eeprom.bin file once the softmod process was complete. Not to do anything else until you did so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it did say so. I did back up the v1.6 but forgot to backup the v1.3, so it's all on me. But it also serves as a learning curve for playing around with hotswapping :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I decided to mess around with softmodding to learn a little more about both methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Setting the Timezone On the Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool modded console, use the Extras Disc or upload via FTP a copy of the 5960 version of the MS Dashboard files to the root of the C drive. Use UnleashX's menu to Launch MS Dashboard or the file manager to browse to the C drive and select xboxdash.xbe. Edit the time zone in the Settings menu. Update: I forgot to include a link to download the MS Dashboard files or where to get the Extras Disc - go into the current Xbox Softmodding Tool build's subfolder, as of today Build v1.1.6, then into the Extras Disc subfolder. Download the dot iso file found there and burn this disc image file to DVD-R media. Boot it in your Xbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the FTP method, ran xboxdash.xbe from the File Explorer, changed the timezone in the settings, powered off/on, and I'm back to the softmodded GUI with the correct date/time, so problem solved! I'll do the same in the other console once I fix it, but that's a problem for another topic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
