Forlorn Penguin Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 That Discord server is dead. No idea why it was even created. It's just needless and redundant, since there's already a very active Xbox modding/restoring Discord server here: https://discordapp.com/invite/emWX5Uq You'll get much more help from this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 vs Beta 3 Beta 2, at a minimum, needs the MSDashboard files added to the hdm\C folder. Beta 3 is preconfigured to install a no-original-game-disc-required installer of Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software runs from Windows (including version 10). You run the batch file, xboxhd.bat. Remember to copy the eeprom.bin backup to the same folder where the batch file is located before starting the application. To build a new drive with the Beta 2 version, you need to add files for the MS dashboard - Clean C and E files for Xbox.7z (D: 1.00.5960.01). Copy the Clean C and E files for Xbox's C subfolder content to XboxHDM23USB's hdm\C subfolder. After completing the steps to build the new HDD by selecting Launch xboxhdm in the main menu and returning to it, lock the HDD before exiting XboxHDM23USB. Next, install the new HDD into the Xbox. You are ready to softmod. But, why use Beta 2 when Beta 3 will setup the new HDD with a no-original-game-disc-required softmod installer. Add no files to Beta 3's HDD_files\C subfolder - yes, it uses a different folder than Beta 2 - and follow the steps of Beta 2 to build the HDD. After locking the drive, install it in the Xbox to boot to the softmod installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete its installation.

KaosEngineer Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Does it show a list of hard drives to unlock. If not, then the PC is not recognizing that an HD is connected. The XboxHDM23USB software REQUIRES the HDD to be connected to the PC via a USB-to-HDD adapter. Beta 2 does not install the softmod game saves (one save for the game disc you have and another which includes the softmod package itself). You have to have the eeprom.bin backup to unlock the HDD or hotswap an already Xbox unlocked HDD to the PC adapter. I'm thinking that some USB-to-HDD adapters reset the HDD when attaching it. Thus, the HDD relocks. Use the menu option #5, Check Lock Status, to verify that the HDD is unlocked. Menu item #1, List drives connected, to make sure the application sees the Xbox HDD.

Without the eeprom.bin file, the lock and unlock options will not perform their desired function. These options cannot compute the lock/unlock password to send to the HDD. The unlock function in XboxHDM23USB is temporary. It does not remove the password like ConfigMagic 1.6-FINAL or Rocky5's v1.6.1 updated release. Once the HDD resets or is power cycled, the HDD will be locked. Edited October 20, 2018 by KaosEngineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
