alfredo2 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I own quite a few original xbox consoles and I am currently in the process of having them all modded. I want them to all have the same save files and be able to switch each hard drive to another console if needed. Using configmagic, I have a little problem with the unique hdd keys and current hdd unlock password. I can change the unique hdd keys so all my xboxs match but I can not change the current hdd unlock password (I hear its generated by a combination of things). I want to be able to mix and match hard drives. How do I get around this so that all the keys match on all my consoles? I know there is a program to null the keys but some of my gamesaves I believe are signed by the unique hard drive key so I would like the unique hdd to remain the same. Hopefully there is something I'm missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 The HDDKey is used to generate the locking password. This computed password will be unique to each different hard drive. These passwords do not / will not match only the HDDKey stored in all the different Xboxs' configuration EEPROMs have to match to be able to move hard drives between them all.

SS_Dave Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 TSOP flash the 1.0-1.4 Xbox's and fit a modchip to the 1.6 Xbox's or Chip all of them then you can use the hard drives unlocked and freely swap the hard drives between the Xbox's.

So I should only worry about the unique hdd key, the current hdd lock password doesn't matter? 1 hour ago, SS_Dave said: TSOP flash the 1.0-1.4 Xbox's and fit a modchip to the 1.6 Xbox's or Chip all of them then you can use the hard drives unlocked and freely swap the hard drives between the Xbox's.

alfredo2 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I would also like to keep some of consoles as stock as possible, is there anyway to do this without keeping the hard drive unlocked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 In the pic I posted the blue screen was booting Xblast from a OpenXenium and the other is booting X2.5035.67 from the same OpenXenium and it loads straight to the M$ dash on that drive anyway.

Falcon639 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 You can perhaps use rocky5 softmod, then null you hdd key on every console. That should make the hdd interchangeable as they'll have the same nulled key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Not sure if you are using a TSOP, mod chip or softmod on all of your Xboxs or a combination. Just make sure that any softmodded boxes have locked hdds. You can still access the ms dashboard on any of these options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredo2 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Thanks everyone for the replies, the consoles are all hardmodded. I think I am going to go with nulling the hard drive keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the Xbox's are hard modded I would not lock the hard drives and not null the hard drive key as with the new version of Xbox live that's in the pipeline a Nulled xbox will not work.
