nevets5891 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney66 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the latest version from Google Drive and use the latest prebuilt .iso Worked perfectly for me.

The image I have does work from dvd however my drive is jacked up so it doesn't fully load the extras (might just have to swap drives till it's converted). Running from applications is where it hangs up for me. I think I pulled this image down on Friday but will do it again just to make sure I have the latest.

stoney66 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Downloaded new iso etc, it doesn't freeze at the "Retail 5101 bios detected" anymore, now just sits at a black screen and the dvd light just flashes. This is the same thing it does when I use the DVD directly so I doubt using a different dvd drive is going to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney66 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I ended up just doing normal softmod via MA and USB, this worked fine. Not sure why the disk/app wont launch with old softmod running but writing over it with rocky's worked fine this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 By the sound of the error it's tiring to tell you that the dash board needs updating 1st to the latest you could use Halo2 to update but it will properly kill the soft-mod. I may be wrong as I don't do soft mods Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevets5891 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I've had it confirmed on another forum that your retail BIOS version doesn't make a difference for softmodding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
