Update 13B - Please watch this video as it will explain how to get xplorer360 to see your hard drive as well as a quicker way to softmod your xbox. th-cam.com/video/PlrCXdxmZUY/w-d-xo.html
if you are not using a USB to IDE adapter but actually using a onboard IDE controller from a old desktop from 2004(because you don't have a USB ide controller) it will work just make sure you have a drive plugged into the cable when you boot the pc and it does not matter what the drive is (CD rom for example) also the update video was very helpful
BLESS YOU!! very informative, ive been going mad having to keep changing methods all the time, but taking a hard disk direct to the pc seems like a great idea, especially since you wont be changing any controller cables.
One of the best tutorials on how to softmod the Xbox using modern tools. BTW, in that last step, can you NULL the HDD key without flashing the EEPROM? I was under the impression you needed to solder some points on the motherboard to flash the EEPROM so the HDD key would be all zeroes.
You can null the hdd key without any soldering, what you are thinking about is TSOPing which is flashing a new bios to the TSOP chip. I have a video on that as well. Thanks for commenting.
i did the hotswap method years ago using an old pc a ribbon cable and a special copy of linux. I just found the linux copy for the first time in years!
Man, I tried today to unplug the DVD and I only get error 11 :/ I will try with the other method in the b part (from the stock dock of the Xbox) but what do you think it might be? I am using a NTSC-J 1.00 :/ I DID IT THANK YOU! FOR WHO HAS PROBLEMS> *do not leave the USB connected to the pc in between attempts!!!* Do exactly like the video shows *usb out, plugs usb, quickly do the hotswap* otherwise will make Xplorer360 never register the new media. I did like 50 times wrong, then after noticing that detail I tried again and got it after the first time!
I was doing this softmod today and everything was going smoothly until I wanted to copy the files. Nothing appeared on the disk nothing could be deleted from the disk. It helped when I switched from offline to online in disk management and it went smoothly again.
Mine doesn’t say kernel and dashboard number, what do I do? Nvm I just had to pop in halo 2 and start up the Xbox live troubleshooter and it updated my dashboard
I've tried the 007 Agent Under Fire and upon loading the save file I get error 21 every time. Now, I'm trying to load the splinter cell save and it gets stuck at the checkpoint window upon trying to load the save. I don't know what to do and I am about to throw in the towel. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hey sometimes these loads take several several minutes like 30 min. Just wait it out. During chimp loading I literally reached for the power button right when the next page loaded up! There are several quirks man. When I soft mod I use an old tv with ONLY AV PLUGS!!! Sounds weird but these things take time, practice, patience, and commitment. It’s super rewarding when you figure these things out! Good luck!
Super late comment on this video, but I just recently found it. I am currently trying to do this mod and every time I go to delete partition 4 in xplorer 360 it says that an error occured while writing cluster 6 and then it freezes and when I try to pull it back up, it freezes and wont open my drive again. Just wondering if you have any idea whats wrong here.
Hi, I have a question what of my Xbox has K:1:00.4034.01 ? This might be a dumb question but I just want to know if it only works with the one that you have
Good to know this method would work because I was wondering , i had a 1.0 unmodded and the hdd quite completely before I could get as far as softmodding , so I chipped it (just seemed like the best way without having access to the hdd key) only afterwards did i find out its possible to extract the key with a raspberry pi...
Nice series's of video's you're doing well done. On this video instead of installing an outdated soft mod & then upgrading to Rocky5's soft mod have you tried populating the C drive initially with Rocky5's XBHDM files ?
That's a very good point, I did do this with my last video on xboxhdm but at the time didnt realize I could use his xboxhdm files. I may have to make an update video. Thanks!
Forgot to mention, you will need the Japanese version of one of the games to softmod the console, you could hotswap softmod, or extract the eeprom and build a new disk that is softmodded, lock the disk and pop it in. Or hardmod it with a chip.
Thanks! I do have a Japanese halo 2 and splinter cell so I can ptob update the dash version with halo 2 and exploit with splinter cell. Although I read somewhere only the asia/Hong Kong versions of the exploitable games work on jntsc xboxes but I haven't tested that yet
@@techhoarder3010 an update. I managed to do the hot swap no problem with the drive. On my japanese panzer dragoon Orta xbox merely moving the c drive files from the softmod master package directly gives me an error 21 as it can't load the dash. However using ndure3.1 it worked perfectly. My japanese console is now softmodded. Thanks for all the videos!
I'm not too familiar with the xlink kai or insignia. I believe the only requirement was you couldn't have a nulled eeprom. You should be fine having the exact same C drives.
Well, that didn't work. As I remove the IDE cable (on the error screen) it really sounds like the drive is restarting (it takes power from the xbox and not the PC). And when I try to put in the adapter and look in Explorer360 it only says that there are no fatx disks available. Windows does however recognize an 8GB drive that is not initialized so it seems like the system sees it. I'm guessing it's locked again though.. As soon as the IDE cable is removed. Tried a hundred times already and same result... Any ideas?
@@techhoarder3010 no I actually didnt see that update.. however its like watching myself the last hunnerd tries :). also tried to boot just to the screen before and do the swap but no luck. Is the drive supposed to sound like it works/reacts when you pull the ide cable?
If it has a modchip it already is hard modded. You can not run a softmod dashboard on a hardmodded xbox. What are you trying to do exactly? The hdd can be unlocked now that the xbox is hardmodded so the unieeprom password doesn't matter for it.
I need help i tried to put rocky 5 i had first avalaunch but after i tried install it boot only on de xbox logo en under it is a name excuter 2 is this xbox modchip? Or did i lost everything?
If it says xecuter 2, you have a hard modded xbox. You could just boot hexen 2020 and select new disk if you want to wipe the disk completely and start over or you could select clean C after tsop and that would wipe only the C drive and reinstall hard modded files.
@@techhoarder3010 sorry to bother you but do i need to burn hexen ? En boot it up in de dvd player on the xbox because i cant get in my dashboard anymore like i said it only shows my xbox logo excuter 2 en that is it it goes to black screen
@@techhoarder3010 last thing if i get it boot with hexen do i need press new disk? To wipe it so it can boot back to a dashboard or can i restore everything back what i had like avalaunch sorry fot asking because i never done this before i bought this years ago until now that i have this problem because i wanted to update to rocky 5 but like is said i did something wrong😂
Sure, I put 2TB in my xboxes, it can be softmodded as well but the drive you select must be able to be locked if softmodded. If its TSOP or Modchip then any drive should work.
Unfortunatley I dont have an IDE Cable on me :/ what would you propose, i went to town and got a screw driver for the bolts but I dont have an IDE Cable. I dont know if you have any alternatives for this. Thanks in advance
@@techhoarder3010 thanks bro, unfortunaltey im pretty far off so shipping may take some time. I was thinking of installing the hardisk on my laptop temorarily and then moving the files once installed. When this is complete il transfer it back to the xbox. I think the only problem may be the compatibility but its worth a shot. Thanks though for the response.
I take it the hdd is bad? You'll need to extract the eeprom to make a new hdd. Or you can install a modchip. I have a video on both. If the hdd is good, you can hotswap it to a pc and use hdd gurus raw copy tool to place an image to your hard drive. I have the image download link in the description.
Do you have the eeprom backed up? Are you getting error codes or what is happening with the modchip? If you can get the xbox to boot and you want to remove the modchip, I would first backup your eeprom to your computer through FTP, delete everything on your C partition, FTP the xbhdm files from the Rocky5 github, Be sure the hard drive is locked. Then you can shutdown the xbox, remove the modchip and D0 - Ground point. Power it up and it should now be softmodded. If you have any problems, you have your backup eeprom, you can always use a pc and xboxhdm to rebuild the hard disk.
@@Hypernova1231 make sure its not the hard drive thats fuckin up Get a random 3.5 hard drive and see if that works then youll really know if its a dying hdd or the chip is going bad
It does not for hotswapping as you are deleting the dash and replacing it with hdm files. Did you watch part B? It should help get it connected, you have to be quick when swapping to avoid the drive locking back up again.
damn. Used my usb to sata/ide adapter and no luck. Got error 12 and tried using xplorer360. Tried this one linked and beta6 from site. Yes, I ran as Admin recommends that.. and I also tried in various compatibility modes as was suggested and no dice. Same precise dash and kernel as in this video oddly enough. Any suggestions?
When the HDD is unlocked and plugged into the computer, can you open disk management and see the hard drive there? Also, at the top there is an option for Rescan disks, click that if it's not in there.
@@techhoarder3010 hey, thanks for taking the time. Yeah man, I can view the hd in diskmgmt, so we're good there. I'm on a very new gaming box, so everything's current with regard to os, etc, which is about what I'm assuming from your environment as well. My adapter is very similar and at the end of the day, it's effectively exactly the same so I'd assume it's the exe itself and/or something unique to my environment that keeps it from recognizing it. Dunno. Thoughts?
Sorry, your comments didn't come in till just now for me. If you are still having the issue you can try some of the steps listed here: www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/getting-hdds-to-show-up-in-xplorer360-if-you-have-fatx-error-look-here.92832/ Is it giving you any error messages?
seems like i have shorted my xbox console by trying to mod it, is there a way to reset it? cause when i plug the hdd it powers down, if i leave the hdd unplugged from the molex cable it powers up normally
@@techhoarder3010 the hdd I was going to use is a western digital 1tb, it was on the slave in order to make the hotswap. Upon further review I saw that the hdd adaptor I was using had burned marks on the soldering points. So now I have no clue how to proceed and reset the damage that was done
Are you using the cheap adapter from China as seen in my video that costs only a few bucks? They are about 50% - 70% Reliable. I always buy twice as many as I need at the time and I only put tape on the hard drive end rather than on the adapter itself. It seems putting tape on the adapter shorts it somehow. There is a way to verify if the hdd adapter is still good, if you have a usb to ide adapter, plug that adapter into your sata to ide adapter and plug a hard drive into it. Hook it up to your computer and verify if the hard drive mounts or if it shows up in disk management. I've also noticed that the adapter gets really hot if its shorted out so if you find out its quite hot, its probably bad.
@@techhoarder3010 on the plus i have a second adapter , from the same product, this time when i plugged it it power up! but it says erro 07 which is a HDD error, maybe its faulty also?
Thanks, I don't believe it matters if you continue with Rocky5's softmod, you can upgrade the default dash using his tools, if your dvd drive does work, you can use certain games to upgrade the dash like Halo 2. To do that, you'll launch the game and select Xbox Live and it should start the dash upgrade. Thanks.
On the xbox when you pull the ide cable? The hard drive doesn't have any activity at the dash, it isn't doing anything and everything with the dash is loaded into ram. I'm sure if you navigated to the memory section and tried to see your game saves you would run into an error code though.
Did you watch 13B? th-cam.com/video/PlrCXdxmZUY/w-d-xo.html You have to be quick when doing the hotswap otherwise the drive will relock itself within a few seconds.
Error 6 means the xbox can't unlock the hdd. Did you change the eeprom hdd key or do anything with another hdd? You can read the contents of the eeprom and then build a new hard disk for it. I have videos on how to do it.
@@techhoarder3010 I don't believe I messed with the eeprom key. Once I went into attempt 13-14, I got impatient and loaded up Xboxhdm and did the unlock drive, which obviously didn't work haha. After that though it gave me error 6. I am going to try some of the videos you have and hopefully they work, but modchips are fairly cheap which is good incase they dont work.
In the description, there is a link to a hdd image, download that image, hotswap again and use the program hdd raw copy tool to reimage your xboxes hdd. Choose the img you downloaded as the source and your xboxes hdd as the Destination. Then you should be good to go.
Great tutorials!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I opened up 360 and view my modded 500 gb hdd... I’m wandering how can I view and backup roms??? That’s the main purpose of my current Xbox project. I’m going to back this hdd up, then try to view it on Ubuntu with hopes of viewing and backing up those roms. If anyone comments with tips I will subscribe to tech hoarder!!👍🏼👍🏼
This happens occasionally for some people, In the description there is a img file you can download, perform the hotswap again and use hddgurus raw copy tool to place the img file on the xbox hdd. Then you should be all set. Good luck.

@@techhoarder3010 on the plus i have a second adapter , from the same product, this time when i plugged it it power up! but it says erro 07 which is a HDD error, maybe its faulty also?
Hard drive timeout. Meaning it couldn't see the hard drive. You may have already said but did you upgrade the ide cable to an 80 wire?
Nice.... Very nice
Question: the xbox should be on latest Dash?
Thanks, I don't believe it matters if you continue with Rocky5's softmod, you can upgrade the default dash using his tools, if your dvd drive does work, you can use certain games to upgrade the dash like Halo 2. To do that, you'll launch the game and select Xbox Live and it should start the dash upgrade. Thanks.
@@techhoarder3010 I know how to do it... It is just u have to update to latest dash using softmod with a game...
Why don't I get any error codes when I do this ?
On the xbox when you pull the ide cable? The hard drive doesn't have any activity at the dash, it isn't doing anything and everything with the dash is loaded into ram. I'm sure if you navigated to the memory section and tried to see your game saves you would run into an error code though.
@@techhoarder3010 this happens when i pull the power off the dvd drive no number on the top left but I will check the saves thanks for the reply😁
Hey just wanted to let you know I followed the rpi tutorial and fixed it your awesome dude thanks 😊
Does this work with v 1.6 model Xbox?
Yes
@@techhoarder3010 does it work with 1.4 model?
Am I able to use a laptop with this or does it have to be a desktop?
Yes you can use a laptop.
Tech Hoarder it shows up in disc management but not in Xplorer 360. I’m on windows 10 by the way.
Did you watch 13B? th-cam.com/video/PlrCXdxmZUY/w-d-xo.html You have to be quick when doing the hotswap otherwise the drive will relock itself within a few seconds.
Are this method work whit 1.6 xbox??
This information is gonna useful for me
Tnx for the tutorial
Yes 1.6 can be softmodded too
I was doing this but maybe I did it too much? I dunno but I got error 6 after a few attempts. I guess I need a modchip now haha
Error 6 means the xbox can't unlock the hdd. Did you change the eeprom hdd key or do anything with another hdd? You can read the contents of the eeprom and then build a new hard disk for it. I have videos on how to do it.
@@techhoarder3010 I don't believe I messed with the eeprom key. Once I went into attempt 13-14, I got impatient and loaded up Xboxhdm and did the unlock drive, which obviously didn't work haha. After that though it gave me error 6. I am going to try some of the videos you have and hopefully they work, but modchips are fairly cheap which is good incase they dont work.
Cannot write cluster; clusterId 31999 is out of range. while copying partition 3 modded files
In the description, there is a link to a hdd image, download that image, hotswap again and use the program hdd raw copy tool to reimage your xboxes hdd. Choose the img you downloaded as the source and your xboxes hdd as the Destination. Then you should be good to go.
good, what version of windows do I use for the whole process? I want to try to unlock my xbox
Great tutorials!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I opened up 360 and view my modded 500 gb hdd... I’m wandering how can I view and backup roms??? That’s the main purpose of my current Xbox project.
I’m going to back this hdd up, then try to view it on Ubuntu with hopes of viewing and backing up those roms.
If anyone comments with tips I will subscribe to tech hoarder!!👍🏼👍🏼
I just did the process but now the partition 4 is a no show in xplore360 (after I copy the files) ... any thoughts or recomendations?
This happens occasionally for some people, In the description there is a img file you can download, perform the hotswap again and use hddgurus raw copy tool to place the img file on the xbox hdd. Then you should be all set. Good luck.
@@techhoarder3010 Thanks! I did it this way and now it's fixed and I have my softmodded Xbox!
Can i just paypal somebody $20 to do this?
I can delete "Quick Upgrade" folder after Upgraded the softmod?
Yes you can.
