Black Screen On Boot

Hello.

I softmodded my xbox and decided to try the tsop mod.

Followed a guide up untill the part where it had me burn a hexen cd. Instead I found this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRN8P835YijOFAydnYzRE0yNmc/view

Unfortunately trying to skip burning a DVD has resulted in my xbox booting to a black screen.

I see "loading ind-bios" before the screen goes black.

Looking online I found some suggestions to boot into hexen disc (so I ended up having to burn it anyways) then run the clear files option.

None of this worked though.

 

Any ideas on what I can do to get my dashboard back?

EDIT: I decided to stop following instructions and experiment with the options in hexen.

I ended up getting a dashboard installed that works!

Turned out I had a winbond chip so I needed to do things differently.

 

So I guess I now have a tsop modded system? Is there anyways to check?

I much preferred the rocky5 softmod dash though, can I get that back somehow or do I loose it because I am tsop moded now?

Have you tried to boot the Xbox the from the DVD you have made.

The Bios you flashed is probably looking for the boot file in a different location.

Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.

Hi thanks for the reply.

Maybe you didnt see my edit?

Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool dashboard is UnleashX with a custom skin he made.  Rocky5 has released the skins that you can install to use instead of the default's available within the UnleashX dashboard.

Google drive link to download the Xbox Softmodding Tool Skins.zip archive.  Upload the extracted content to UnleashX's skins subfolder (e.g., C:\Dashboards\UnleashX\skins)

Ok well I am all good now I think.

I installed a new HDD, used the hexen disk to format and partition it.

I grabbed rocky5 softmod skins and added them.

 

Any idea how I get rid of these annoying passcodes on everything?

Is it possible to edit the home screen options?

 

Thanks,

Chris

You can remove the passwords and passcodes by editing UnleashX's config.xml file.

Look for the <List> tag attributes passcode="<Button combo>" and password="<Password text>" 

Download the file via FTP, edit it in a text editor to remove them from the <List> tags, upload the updated config.xml file (overwrite the current file) then reboot.  

If you mean those on the DVD you burned, you will need to extract the files from the XISO disc image using Qwix or other XISO extraction/creation tool, edit the config.xml file to remove them, create a new XISO disc image and burn it to a new disc.

You cant have a Soft-Mod and a Hard-Mod/Re-flashed TSOP running at the same time.

You can install a dash from Hexen disk.

Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.

 

I always thought that too but it's not quite true.  However, the files, dashboard locations, on the hard drive have to be setup properly for both to work.

Sorry should have said... I am set up with xbmc4gamers now.

Do you happen to know if I can remove the profiles feature of it?

I enabled auto login but removing it completely would be nicer.

I dont like how pressing B on the home screen essentially logs you out and then back in again.
