How can I get a fresh c: files? My xbox has got errorcode 13 so I need the files to fix the problem.

please help me! :)

You can get the Fresh copy of C: here i believe its called MSDASH C: E: you can make yourself, Make a folder with E: and inside that folder have Udata and, Tdata, as for you can get it from the Files section, username is guest1
pw: is Password <--- capital P, hope that helps

i try to d/l but there's an error while extracting the file.

try downloading it again.

just download and tested the MSDash (5960) final.rar and it extracted just fine 

try updateing your WinRAR program.

extracted for me too, you might have dropped the connection for a sec and it curropted the DownLoad sos try dl'ing again and then unRAR

I can´t get into the file mine with that username and password. it doesn´t work :/

it's

user: guest
Pass: Password1

P must be capped.

thanks a lot :)

realg just mixed up the guest1
and Password
instead its guest
and Password1

I watched your video on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FEgSjw7Rxs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FEgSjw7Rxs)) and did everything you said I should do to fix errorcode 13. But my computer could even though not find the xbox hdd in xplorer360. Could I have done something wrong? now the xbox isn´t even showing the errorcode picture, it freezes before that. :/and if i start without my harddrive plugged it stops where I unplugged the IDE cable to the xbox hdd att the bootup. Please help me!

ok make sure you have the xbox HDD on the PRIMARY ide channel as a MASTER
as far as getting it unlocked, each xbox is different, my box only unlocked if i did it right after M$ logo appeared, some make you do it right as the flubber appears, just experiment a little, youll eventually get it (first hotswapping took me 4 hours..... now i do it first shot in 10 minutes, practice it and youll get it)

I had the xbox hdd as primary master. but now when i start my xbox it doesnt bootup all the way to the errorcode message. it freezes before so I can´t try different sequences there now :S (can´t see the flubber or when the black screen when the xbox logo shows up). Would it work if I just switched hdd? Of course the best thing would be to fix my current but a new hdd isn´t very expensive so if that would solve the problem I will problably do so.?

if you have your eeprom then Yes you can just make a New HDD for the Xbox

unfortunately I don´t have it :/   Can´t I get it from anywhere? else I can take a hdd from another xbox and just install the slayer cd on it?

ok here is what happend, and yes you are screwed
your HDD did not relock before it powered off, there is NO getting around it, youre screwed, unless you get a modchip OR an eeprom reader (which you have to solder to the motherboard) there is nothing you can do

:(. So I will problably not be able to fix it myself? what do you mean with modchip. If you mean chip it so it can run games from all countries and have xbmc on it then It´s allready installed.

  Basically dude you need file called eeprom.bin that comes from your xbox. See every xbox has its own unique eeprom.bin file, wat this file dose is when the xbox boots up, the eeprom tells the xbox how to unlock the HDD with the unique password so it can boot up its dashboard.
  So if you take another HDD from another xbox, the xbox still wont boot cause your xbox eeprom password wont work on the HDD from the other xbox cause that HDD has been set with its Xbox's eeprom. So no matter wat xbox HDD you put in your broken one, it will not boot until its set with you xbox unique eeprom.
 
  And what GamezR2EZ (my technical assistant :P ) is trying to say is, to install a mod chip, because a mod chip bypasses the eeprom and allows you to boot up any HDD I believe (correct me if im wrong). XBMC is just a dashboard, just cause it says things about a mod chip doesn't mean you have one unless you know you've installed one or have one inside your xbox.
This is an xbox with a mod chip
(http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/4/smartxx/smartxx_03_s.jpg)


  But their is a way to fix your xbox
1. Build or buy and eeprom reader
   (heres wat mine looks like) (http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i91/snipes_101_8/2.jpg)
2. Mod chip
both ways involve soldering, so yeah, its really up to you on how you want to handle this

allriight. I have a Alladin advance 64 chip with ir. do you know if that is a modchip like that I would need?
When I hold down the start button the light gets orange insted of green and I get into a special menu. But it won´t boot up at all in chip mode as it is right now neither in ordinary mode of course.

But If i install slayer at another original xbox hdd and put it into mine would it be possible to work then with the chip?

hmm what does that make me?!?!?!? ;) cause im no ones BEEACH lol anyway, modchip allows you to boot any UNLOCKED xbox HDD

as far as modchips, you would need a chip on the xbox that would leet you bypass the eeprom (like sniped said) and let you read the eeprom code from the EEPROM flash chip, so you would have to install a chip ON the xbox from which you got the drive

as far as snipes said, the eeprom is programed into a 4kb chip (if im not mistaken) and it is specific to EACH xbox, meaning no 2 are the same, so you would have to either replace the chip (tricky) read the chip (solder to the chip, trickier) or get a modchip (EASY :D)

THATS what i was trying to say snipes WHAT?!?!? lol jk ;)

So you don´t think my current chip is enough? I´ll have to buy another one?

is the current chip installed on the xbox from which the HDD came?

Yes. I haven´t changed anything in the xbox besides installing the chip. And that was done before I got my problems.

i've never heard of that one but dose it look like this
(http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/4/aladdin_plus/aladdi1.jpg)
chips isn't my thing but ill try and look it to it ;D

Yes I think that´s it. so what do you say? do you think I can just install the slayer cd on another original hdd and then install it in my xbox and start in chip mode?

well i would say yes, umm use zzk all-in-one hotswap mod to get the files, burn them to a XboxHDM disc, get a new drive and format it (put on the files) and then LEAVE IT UNLOCKED and you should be able to boot up in chip mode

ill write more lata, gotta go, snipes fill in the blanks with links please? (this is why he is on the team and im not :P)

allriight. thank´s. Will need som more help with what XboxHDM disc is and a link to the all in one hotswap if that is nessecary to do.  hope snipes will do that :)
Thank´s and merry christmas :D

first find the tut here (http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=85.0)

skip steps 3 and 5

and just use zzk all-in-one files and put the in the correct folders (c - c, e - e) get it from the file section

Can I do this with my hdd I used when I tried to hotswap before but failed or must I have a new one. In that case must it be a original xbox hdd?

where can i find Xboxhdm 1.9?

Yes it be best, just to use another working xbox HDD and unlock it with its eeprom. Then place the working unlock HDD in the broken xbox and try to boot up the HDD with the chip.

You can get XboxHDM v1.9 in our files section

Xbox -> Eeprom Tools -> xboxhdm_v1.9.zip

GamezR2EZ is that right with that tut i just told him, cause have little knowledge in chips. Wait for Gamez godden for some extra advice ok :D
Hope this helps ;D

Allriight. Thanks

yeah do wha snipes said boot an unlocked drive, if that works your all set (uhh dont hotswap it, well walk you through a better method, since you have a chip and all)

Sweet, well then godden its all up to u man. Me and Gamez are willing to help you out with any other question you may have, so The Technical Support Team is here to help ;) ;D

That sounds good! I think I´ll give it a try tomorrow :)

So I´ll have to get the xbox hdd together with my computer and unlock it with xboxhdm?

yes, get a HDD that is unlocked and try booting in chip mode, if your chip works you should be able to boot the unlocked drive

1: And i´ll have to unlock the hdd with the computer?

2: would it be more difficult to do this if I would decide to take a hdd from a computer a bigger one?

1. Yes, just use XboxHDM v1.9

2. Yes, it would me more difficult.  But you can use a computer HDD that is not locked and turn it in to an Xbox HDD, but i would just use a plain xbox HDD just cause all you have to do is unlock it; less work then having to make that Computer HDD in to an xbox HDD. "work smarter not harder" ;)  ;D Good luck

allriight. I´ve just got to buy a new hdd first then. can´t do that in my city but hopefully this week. I hope it will work, I´m really excited :D

Allriight. now I´ve bought a new xbox hdd what to do now? It´s no problem that I haven´t got a floppy, right?

I can just burn the image to a cd, put the xbox hdd to the primary on the computer and boot from cd. then choose 3) Boot linux with locking/unlocking utilities, then choose

* hdunlock, (Only unlocks a HDD but doesn't disable locking. The drive will
      relock after reboot if you only run this tool.)
And after that
    * hdddisabl, (Disables locking. To be used after hdunlock so that locking
      stays off after rebooting.) and then it should be finished?

im sorry, im just a little lost, ill tell you a bottom line what you need to do to try with the chip

take any WORKING HDD that has the xbox files on it, have it unlocked (NOT disabled) and boot into chipped mode, IF that works, then get the EEPROM and you will be all set

bottom line: just try booting INTO chip mode with an UNLOCKED HDD

but in that case I will have to unlock the hdd first?
and I wonder how to unlock it? I think I´m suppose to do as i wrote before, in the xboxhdm program :S ?

Ok what you need to do with that NEW HDD, is just make it into a Xbox HDD.
 
  When you insert the XboxHDM CD in your computer choose option 1. at the beginning, then type "xboxhd". Then its going to say, "1) Build a working HD from scratch." and choose that one.
 
  Once thats done you don't have to lock it or unlock it, cause since its a new HDD (like you say) its all ready unlocked. So all you have to do is place that newly made Xbox HDD with the New Xbox Files in it, in your xbox and boot it up with the chip. If all goes well it should work. Good Luck ;D

Thank´s a lot for a good answer. but I bought a new 10 gb xbox hdd will I have to do those steps then or can I just put it into the Xbox right away whitout doing anything with it?

Well yes, you can place the 10GB HDD in the xbox only:
1. If has the xbox files and there in their correct partition's ex. C Drive, E Drive etc.
2. If it unlocked (to boot it in chip mode)

Why did this come from another xbox, or did you make the 10GB HDD in to an Xbox HDD with XboxHDM?

I bought a new xbox hdd 10 gb from the store and put the files on it with XboxHDM for a minute ago and it worked! :D Can I install evo X on it now? is it something I shoul do? I´ve got the slayers 2.7 cd. But I don´t dare to install it before anybody of you say I can.

Alright sweet you got it to work thats great!! :D

Ok NEVER EVER MOD with Slayers EVER ok, its a big NO NO!!! >:(

What you can do is mod with Krayzie Ndure from our files section
Do you have an exploit CD?
Mechassault
Splinter Cell
007

hmm allright. I don´t know what you mean with exploit. If you mean a bought original game like those in you post then no I haven´t got any. If you mean a cd to burn the program on then yes I have.




2: When I turn on the xbox with the chip I allways have to push out and in the cd a couple of times. after a while thexbox logo shows up though when I push out the cd. do you know why it doesn´t boot whitout having to deal with the cd thing every time? do you know what I can do to get rid of the problem?

An exploit CD is were you use a Xbox game like Splinter Cell to mod your xbox, with Exploit Game Saves.
http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=1601.0


Ok well then, how did you mod your xbox in the first place?

My friend who owned the xbox before me went to a professional store http://www.console.se (http://www.console.se) so they installed the chip for him.

  Well, aughh man im stumped sorry bro. Your going to have to wait for GamezR2EZ, he knows more about mod chips then i do.
  Plus i have to go. Sorry just don't mess with it, until some one helps you. But at least it boots and works right :D

allriight. Yes it does, and i´m very happy for it! :D thank´s a lot for the help! :) I hope Gamez can help me even more to get it a bit better then :)

ok so it boots GREAT
that means the chip is good, there is very little you can do to screw up now (although dont go messing around ;))
what you need to do is get zzk all-in-one, and build the XboxHDM disc with that, that way it is already modded when you boot into chip mode and you can extract and FTP your EEPROM over to your ocmputer and lock the drive, which is the end goal

let me go find the links for you, but dont worry you dont have to buy anything more, and you dont have to hotswap either  :D

EDIT: files are here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=49PHQA2C)
and ive been told to tell you this........  ::)

""YOU MUST DO THE FIX""
http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=1376.0 (http://www.smdepot.net/forum/index.php?topic=1376.0)


but basically get the files off out of the C and E folders and copy them to XboxHDM Cand E folders, make the ISO burn the Disc, and do what snipes said earlier about making a new HDD from scratch.

and give snipes some 1upage for helping, lol i just pop in from time to time he actually helps out :P

So I´m going to do the same thing again with xboxHDM but with different files?
Install it to the hdd just like before and then what? Is the xbox gonna be like before so I can run it whitout the chip also? And so that I can install Xbmc etc.?

yes it will run without the chip AFTER you get the eeprom and lock it, and yes you will be doing the same thing, and YES you can install all that afterward

allriiiight. nice :D thank´s a lot. Hopefully I will give it a try tomorrow or tonight.

Today I can´t even start the xbox in chip mode :( and I can´t have the cd and hdd inserted at the same time in the computer because then it doesn´t boot. this error occured when I had installed the new files to my new xbox hdd. so now I can´t burn the new cd in xboxhdm. I can´t have my cd burner connected at the same time as my harddrive :/ What can be wrong?

edit: I got the xbox start again now at least. now it´s only the computer problems left with the cd and hdd not able to be connected at the same time.

when your computer starts up make sure to go into the boot menu and select the CD, othewise it will try and boot to the HDD

The problem is that it allways tries to boot from the cd and I can´t change it. I now have the hdd in the secondary master then I can boot with my hdd but I can´t have my cd connected at the same time cause then it wount boot up. I need to have the cd connected to the computer to burn out the xboxhdm cd with the zzk all in one files.

Where is the eeprom saved on the xbox hard disk so I can back it up?

Well if you used Krayzie Ndure, the eeprom.bin will be in the E:/backups/eeprom/backup/  folder.

What did you use to softmod your xbox?

if you can't find the eeprom or the softmod you used did not back i made a program just for backing  up the eeprom  (http://www.smdepot.net/files.html) should find it in there If now just tell me if you need it and i'll post a Link.

I burned a new dvd with the zzk all-in-one files in the hdm folders. then I installed it on the Xbox hdd and now I can´t even boot the xbox in chipmode :S what have I done wrong? Am I suppose to do something?

the black screen with the green xbox logo shows up and with the EVO X symbol in the left top corner, then it freezes. I got passed it once but then it just said I wasn´t connected to a network so I connected it but now I can´t even get there again.

are you sure the hdd has the files on it? and did you build the disc right?
if you didnt then the HDD wouldnt work, if you built the cd right and copied the files over right, then the HDD would boot in chipped mode

one thing you could try.....

hook the HDD up to primary master and launch windows
use a program called Xplorer360 from the file section
lauch the program and open the HDD and manually copy all the files from zzk's thing
then you know for sure that you have the right files on there

I connected it and looked in xplorer360. It looks like it should. all of the files are there.

the program freezed and the next time I went in to it xplorer360 only showed partition 0, 1, 2 and 3 so the one with games and more isn´t found now :S

I now tried to put all of the files one by one over to the xbox hdd. When all of the files were manually sent over to the hdd I just unplugged it and plugged it into the xbox and tried to boot in chip mode. now the xbox shows a box saying "A network connection could not be created" just like it did when I installed with the dvd to the hdd.


I connected the xbox to the network. But then I was stuck in the network settings. first it autodetected some the network and then I could choose betwean three different topics all just having with networking/xbox live to do. I tried to press B but nothing happend.

Is this the right file?         "Zzk All In One softmod (Hotswap Only)"
It says "hotswap only" but it was this file I got directed to.

youre all set, it says the "network connection" thing when the DVD drive is open during boot, you need to keep the drive closed and boot into chip mode then backup your eeprom to lock the drive (you should boot to the UnleashX dash board)

the problem is that when I push the power button the little extra time to get the eject button orange (to start in chip mode) then the screen on the tv is black. then I have to push the eject button several times, and after a while the xbox logo shows up with the evo x sign at the top left corner. So I can´t get it to boot without having the DVD drive open for a little while. I don´t know why it is like this. Can it be wrong bios for the chip or something like that?

Edit: I tried to push in the dvd as fast as I could after the xbox logo had showed up at the bootup. But then the screen only gets black :/

yeah idk about the chip sorry man, but the dvd drive CANNOT be open after the M$ logo thing appears (and even before that sometimes) other wise it goes to that network connect screen, and unplug any network connection cables on the back as well

allriight. in that case this will be a tricky one :( I don´t have any network cable connected.
Do you know if somebody else might know what to do?

ohh if you dont thats fine dont worry about it, i was just saying if you DID, but dont forget what i said if its not connected :)
you just need to fuigure out how to boot into chip mode wITHOUT the dvd drive open

That will not be easy for me. Because every time since I bought the xbox I´ve allways been forced to eject the dvd a couple of times before the chip triggs and the green logo shows up on the screen. before I eject the dvd those times the screen is only black. I don´t have a clue what I can do. Maybe it is something with the bios? or can it be the chip that is damaged?

hmmmm ok that could just be your box, or sumthin idk
ok so i need to ask other people somethings

Who knows of a softmod that alows you to boot to the softmod with the drive open? (weird request i know, but we just need to do it once then snag the eeprom and back to krazyies it is)
and if anyone has one that can do this please let me know

allriight. thank´s a lot. I hope you will find something.
So it´s only when you boot with softmod you can´t have the dvd open? because I could before with the original hdm cd  I did.

ok first i have an idea, but let me explain the problem for you :)
i would test all this but alas i got rid of my xbox

ok so when the dvd drive is open on this particular softmod, it jumps to the "network" message, dont know why, no mod is perfect, jus a glitch, its not normally a problem, you just keep the drive closed but we need to boot into chipped mod THERE is the problem

something you could try, after booting into chip mor there is no way (from my undestanding and test) to get into the UnleashX dash IF you didnt start there, what you can TRY is putting a game in, letting it boot and run (obvioulsy in chip mod) and then opening the tray taking the game out and closing the tray THIS MAY send you to the softmod portion of your xbox, you may wanna try different means of playing the game (turn it on then put game in, leave game in and reset.,ect ect) point it the end goal here is to get into UnleashX (modded dash)  THATS all we need to figure out, and thats the only thing i can think of that can do it, ill check around, id built you a custom file set up so that it would boot, but i cant test in on an xbox sorry, im looking into however GOOD LUCK TRYING THE GAME THING THOUGH :)

try just holding the power button for 2-3 seconds when turing on the xbox, forget the drive or anything to do with the drive also

DONT BOOT TO FLASH MODE TO BE SAFE

I never hold longer then 3 seconds :/

maybe it´s my TV? I can try another one.

Have you heard of superdisc? With that program burnt to a cd you can put in a new big HDD (it only has to be 3.5", it can be a PC hdd). You connect the big hdd to the xbox and put in the superdisc cd and restarts the xbox. then the EvoX boots up and it installs all usable programs on that hdd then you fix the network settings and ftp the xbox C: files over. Then it shoul be finished. I don´t know if that could be used? :p xD


If I would just install evoX again with a program like that wouldn´t it work then so I can use xbox media center etc.?

yeah i would try some different options, i would work on it myself but i no longer have an xbox :( anyone got any help here?

But I don´t want to screw it all up. now I can at least play games if I take my first hdm cd and install on the hdd. But someone said that I really mustn´t install the slayers cd. And if I shouldn´t install that then I don´t know what I can dare to try. :/

I can´t even boot a game with this installation on the hdd. the only thing I can get up is the network screen :(

even after the network screen the game wont run?

I´ll try that.

Edit: The game started, but if i eject the tray then the screen gets black.

You haven´t found anything worth trying?

Can you recommend a program that installs a dash so I can install XBMC and that kind of programs?

Why not install slayers cd? Do you have any other to recommend insted? Is superdisc allright?
I wan´t to be able to run XBMC

there is nothing you can do to mess up your xbox now buddy, so try whatever you want,
im out of ideas on how to boot to the modded dash (considering your xbox is a little screwy with the drive and all) and i would test some... BUT ALAS i dont have an xbox

so try whaatever you want man, IF you can boot to a modded dash let me know and i can certainly help, but other than that idk, sorry

i have exausted everything i know without actually BEING there

Allriight. I´m very thankful for your help! You should at least know that! Thank´s a lot man!

When I put in the slayers cd it says I can save Eeprom. that´s not the right one ha?

lol SNIPES said that, hahaha

how you like them apples snipes?

nahh but more seriously, what he was trying to say is dont USE slayers installer cause its garbage, but if you can back up your eeprom from there thats great, just get it onto your computer and we can help you with ANYTHING from there

but seriously dont use slayer after you get the eeprom lol

When I put the dvd in one opportunity is to "save EEPROM from C:/backup". Might that be it?

yes you wanna save the eeprom to the HDD
afterward FTP the eeprom onto your computer

allriight. I thought that was a special EEprom for the chip/evox dash.
I´ll do that tomorrow then.

1. Up yours Gamez lol jk

2. godden once you get that eeprom, I'll jump back in and help you any way i can

I have installed the slayers cd that´s why I can get the EEprom. but now I´ll have to go to sleep. the clock is 4 AM. I´ll give it a try tomorrow

yeah basically snipes just dropped outa the conversation
i left him in the dust in my awesome thinking ability
not that thats hard to do..........

;)

anyway after you get the eeprom you can lock your drive with HDM and youll be all set

Yeah, once your get your eeprom.bin you don't need that dam mod chip anymore

When I´ve backed up the Eeprom then It´s just to connect the xbox hdd to the computer and put the file over to the computer in xplorer360? But I don´t think it´s the right file. When I checked in xbox file manager under Eeprom/backup I only found bios.bin and one more. not eeprom.bin

you need to check to see where the eeprom was backed up to, it will tell you after the backup is complete where it saved

there should be 5 files, you just need eeprom.bin

and you can FTP it over, no need to use xplorer360, unless you dont know how to ftp, then hook it up to the computer

Hey all, i am getting this error 13 thing too but maybe slightly difference circumstances than most;

basically i brought my xbox brand new made to order back in 2005, with a 80Gb hdd and mod chip installed, booting up to the EvoX dash.

i went to power it up yesterday as it's been packed away in a box for the last 12 months and it now gets this error 13 screen. it worked fine before i packed it away.

so my question is do i follow this procedure explained or is it different for me, since it's already chipped and not the orginally hdd, i figured it must not be locked. plus if possible i wanna get it booting back up to EvoX dash or do i have to get the ms one working first? , will i have to re-install EvoX? ... any and all help greatly appreciated.

tell us your modchip name plz

next open it up and clean it inside, sometimes dust is the problem (trust me i know)
and check the connections

Since i brought it already moded i don't know the chip or much about EvoX, i'll open it up tonight, give it a clean and see what i can find out about the mod chip. i do know as this point is was a solidered chip ~ not soft mod. thanx

ok so it's seems things have gone from bad to worse...

went home last night and tried to play an orginal game to see if that would work... now comes up with error 16 ~ with or without a game in it , i read this is something to do with clock since i had it unplugged?

anyways i pulled it apart to see what chip they put in it ... pulled the motherboard out, no chip anywhere so i can only guess they must have soft modded it, but i did confirm it does have an aftermarket 80Gb HDD.

so since it's not an orginal xbox HDD does it still get locked by the xbox?

can any body recommend what to do from here ... i have't changed anything from when it was working, it was just packed away for a long period.

you'll have to do a HotSwap to fix it.

zzk is right
however zzk, he was already getting the Error 13 code, which means the drive is unlock (right :\)
so zx9 you better hope and pray you can find the EEPROM on that 80gb HDD
otherwise you are out of an xbox, if you dont know how to solder

No error 13 is Not a Unlock error it's just a Dash error

what happen is he used the Slayers CD and his Xbox's eeprom is to New and does Not support older Dashies Thus getting a error13

Yeah Gamez, get on the ball LOL JK ;D but yeah he needs to try to pull out that eeprom if he can when he uses hotswap or fix the dash, and if not then you gott'a solider  :P

wow yeah
well thats what i get for not having an xbox anymore
plus this whole topic was about the drive not being locked and all, well most of it was
lol it said error 13 ;)

ahhh well i was never good at remembering WORDS to go along with numbers ;)

thanx for catching my screw ups

Z'aw right baby, just don't do it again LOL JK ;D

you can shut up, you didnt catch anything

and dont call me baby

LOL i guess T.o.m's in town LOL jk jk jk hahaha just messing with Gamez ;D
