Title: How do you unlock hdd without eeprom
Post by: realg123 on July 14, 2011, 08:54:01 AM
Hello everyone.
Quick question. Is there a way to unlock an hdd without eeprom?
My friend has an xbox. It died recently without him having to backup his eeprom. So I was wondering is there a way to unlock it? If so could some one guide me to the right direction?
Thanks

it's easier then you think... just do a hotswape with the IDE soon as the Xbox Microsoft Text shows up after the intro unplug the IDE cable and the Drive will be unlocked, connect to PC on Primary-master and use Xplorer360 to view the HDD and copy over your eeprom.bin

(just remember to not turn off the Xbox with IDE un-plugged as the HDD will stay unlocked and be all fucked up)

Would I be able to unlock it using another xbox? Doing the hotswap method?

NO, as the HDD is locked with the EEPROM key of the other Xbox's Motherboard
