Man, I used to watch this video a long time ago, dreaming that I could eventually get an original Xbox. Things have changed a lot since then. (Yes, I did get my Xbox about a year ago)
Great video, you made it very clear how to do the softmod. I thought I should mention though that you should never place a disc down with the label side down unless you have applied a protector to your disc Once the label is scratched the whole disc becomes useless, but if you place it shiny side down and scratch it you can almost always have the scratch polished out and restore the disc. Thanks for the video, 5 stars
Tony Waldron CD had this problem beacause the data was just pressed from the top onto the bottom layer of the disc so the only protection for the data was the top label, DVD was different it's data was sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of the disc, Xbox and PS2 used the DVD format not CD so didn't really matter if the top layer got scratched, the data was still protected in the middle.
Thanks for the tutorial! Still worked well in 2018 and i got it running at the first try! I was also lucky twice, the Xbox i got was already on dashboard 5960 and the first USB stick i tried that i already had lying around worked for me so i ordered 3 more USB sticks on Amazon for no reason lol. Next step for me will be to get a bigger HDD working so i have enough room for games. Thanks again and have fun playing around everyone ;)
It doesn't seem to matter what appears of video's like this, whatever the subject, you'll always get some moaner wanting to do it down, 'it's old hat' etc, why bother? Well there many late to the game and many other tutorials are difficult to follow for one reason or another, or simply too annoying. So, shut up with the negative vibes, these are brilliantly displayed, simple to follow videos, with actual links that work. So personally, many thanks for all your efforts, I see there are comments relatively recently, hence why I have added mine, great stuff (especially when the camera was stabilized) just joking, but I found them really helpful and I'll set about working on the 3 or 4 consoles I picked up on ebay for peanuts - good work my friend and good luck
Hi, great video Gradinkov. I have a problem though. The XBOX doesn't detect the Softmod installer and Splinter Cell files. It does see the USB though. I tried everything, even another XBOX, but nothing works. Help is appreciated :)
hi there do i need fifa 2005 to update my dashboard its k.1.00.4817.03 also the second dashboard number is k 1.005959.03 can it soft modded it that made sence help would be great cheers
Lol I miss my Xbox. My dad bought it for me for my 7th birthday... About 11 years ago. I loved that thing. When I was about 13, sometime around 2010-11, I softmodded my Xbox and even upgraded to a 40GB HDD. However, for some reason, the Ethernet port got damaged and the orange LED would stay on even though there was no cable plugged in. I couldn't load games through FTP since i couldn't connect it to my network. I ultimately just left it there to collect dust, and got rid of it about 2 years ago. I kind of regret doing that, but it didn't really work anymore. I also remember about the HDD and Motherboard key. Oh, how I hated that thing. We spent an entire Summer trying to build an EEPROM reader and getting the correct dash files.
+Jose Javier Flores I still have a hulk acrylic version and normal black version sitting in my cupboard.. only issue with the hulk one is with the AC adapter it makes lovely pop sounds if moved around
A little tip for those having problems finding a compatible usb: try getting a hold of a microsd memory stick, and connect it to the dongle via a microsd to usb adaptor. It will be a lot cheaper and easier to get a hold of the adapter and an old microsd than an older usb flash drive (as probably mentioned, newer flash drives don't seem very xbox friendly). I'll reply to this comment if something comes up.
Hello can you tell me if that process is reversible ? After the softmod made can i erase it and return to the original state (interface and settings) ?
when I have my Xbox plugged into a HD TV the picture is very blurry, maybe my softmod is bad version, however I am just wanting to know how you got such clear picture on what looks like a HD TV.
Got a NEAR MINT, barely used Xbox with owner's manuals and 4 controllers on craigslist for $50 today! I'm probably going to do this, looks fun, thanks for the vid! Something recent :)
Helló. Van egy ilyen tipusu Xboxom megfelelő verzióval, megvan a splinter cell is hozzá. Csak nincs usb csatlakozóm, csak az a alapfelszerelés van. Valamilyen módon megtudom csinálni a softmodeot?
It's really easy to softmod the xbox. There are tons of tutorials out there. The trickiest part is finding a compatible USB stick. Had to buy a San Disk Cruzer Blade, because all of my USB sticks weren't compatible.
my flash drive isnt showing up in xlporer360. i have already formated it with the xbox but when i plug the flash drive into my computer it buffers and then dosnt ask to reformate and dosnt show up anywhere
Thanks for the guide, subscribed and liked. How have you managed to get such a nice vibrant picture on your Xbox. I have the same TV as you, are you going through component, scart of some kind of upscaler such as the xrgb mini?
When hitting the "harddrive or memcard" I get a message saying " could not find a FATX drive to open",,,,,, I ran it as administrator but that didn't help so what should I do?
I did everything on this video up the very end and the screen went black. now, it's stuck on xbox live screen and i can't do anything. When i put Splinter Cell back in, it starts opening screen but I get an orange light around eject button. is there anyway to fix this?
Ok i have like 6 USB sticks here an none of them works. Where can i get a compatible USB stick from in 2015??? As all the ones ive looked at on the compatibility list for this mod are like 32MB or 256MB.....you just cant get this USB sticks anymore??
BlockABoots They are VERY hard to find. I had to buy a memory card with the hack already on it. If I was at home I'd send it to you for a nominal fee. I paid $30 for mine on ebay because I was very impatient. The key is to look for a FAT32 stick no more than 2 GB. Here's a list from users that is known to work. www.biline.ca/xbox_flash_list.htm
jrgs906 I actually had success with a SanDisk 4GB micro SD card and used a micro SD card USB reader!!. Apparently micro SD cards and USB reader combos are the way to go
I can confirm, that this still works in 2017. There are some small issues with Xplorer360 on Windows 10, but it's easy to solve by downloading and copying msvcr71.dll into Xplorer360 folder/location
Great tutorial's pt1 to pt4, thanks. Two quick questions, is the installation of xbmc the same process as shown in this video and can you still use the dual boot method with xbmc. Also when you choose the high def option, do you need an hd composite cable or will it still work with a standard av cable? Thanks!
Hello Lee, 1. Yes, the installation is pretty much identical if you go with XBMC. If you haven't softmodded your Xbox already, then you're all set, you can go and install the XBMC version (SID511.Installer.USB.zip), BUT if you have already applied the non-XBMC installer (SID511.Installer.zip), you need to remove it first via the Softmod Installer Deluxe menu "Remove Softmod", and only THEN use the XBMC installer, otherwise you'll brick your Xbox! I learned this the hard way :D 2. No, HD won't work with a standard AC able, sorry.
Thanks for your comments, they helped me a lot. I think a good suggestion for a follow up xbox tutorial, would be to show how to uninstall the Unleash X softmod and then install the xbmc usb softmod in it's place. This would be useful for people who want to clone the orginal HDD and replace the HDD with an increased capacity. Thanks again!
This is a PAL Xbox. On a PAL Xbox you need the Enigmah videomode switchdisc to switch output to NTSC, on NTSC you can skip that since it's already NTSC.
What I need to know, and cannot find info about is, can a system that is only software modified, (not modchipped), have the Ram Chips upgraded and or CPU upgraded, and how I can go about doing it. Some say yes, and say I need a specific BIOS, but they never tell me where to find it, or how to go about installing it. I would also like to know if any kind of Ram or CPU upgraded can be done to the Xbox 1.6's with the Xcalibur chip, or is the RAM/CPU upgrades only made to work on the 1.0-1.5 systems due to the change in the motherboard on the 1.6 Xbox consoles. Thanks!
no in order to up grade ram and cpu you need a linux bios, it will never play xbox games or run dashboard again it will be just a pentium linux pc with 128 megs of ram, also the guys who did this wrecked loads of motherboards doing it, even electrical engineers its not easy and it wont ever run xbox stuff, someone about ten years ago claimed he had upgraded to 1.4 pentium and 256 megs of ram, and also claimed it played xbox games, but all others who modded them said that was total fiction, and when pushed for proof the user deleted his account, dont bother its a waste of time.
I have a sandisk Cruzer Glide 4gb and its not reconizing after i format it on the xbox then plug it into the computer after opening xplorer 360 it doesn't find anything so where can i find a flash drive that will work
I got to the stage were it asks for the reboot. I removed the disk and closed the tray. Now all I get is a black screen, the xbox is powered on. I decided to choose the XBMC option because I wanted to play movies on it. What do I do now? Is my XBOX BRICKED? Need help ASAP.
Stephen Donnelly He Said If You Didn't Get The Disk Out Fast Enough To Just Re Start And It Would Finish Installing??I Didn't Get That Problem But I Hope Its Working For You,I Had A Hell Of A Time But Mine All Good Now.Make Sure Alls Plugged In And Reboot,I Hope It Works For You!!
So the part where in Xplorer360 I select Drive and then Harddrive or Memcard I get the message "Could not find a FATX drive to open!" Any advice on how to resolve this?
hey guys. i'm having a problem when trying to re- exploit my xbox. I had my box softmodded before, but I accidentally installed an xbox live update for one of the games I had. so now when I try to load my splinter cell exploit save, it shows a white screen, then just resets the game. it can't even get to the softmod installer menu. if ANYONE has an idea of what might be going on, please let me know. ( It's an xbox V1.1, if that's any help)
hi guys im ady from the UK. i've just watched your video on you tube, looks good! but was wondering if you could help me out? ill try give as much info as i can. right i've got an original xbox that has been modded (not be me) it has XBMC installed and also coinops 7 with all the games etc on a 320g hard drive. now i was wondering if i can make a direct copy of that hard drive? i've got a 160g ide pata seagate drive completely blank no OS installed on it. could i get all the data transferd to my spare drive? i would like one as a back up just in case. also my mate have given me his old original xbox as he was no longer using it, this is completely factory standard and never been opened. if i opened it up and removed the drive would i be able just to put my spare hdd in and transfer all the info that way? and does the hard drive need to be formatted or modded any way before? is there any good programs out there i could download? ive never attempted anything like this before so complete novice! altho i know how to use a computer, download stuff etc, i have all the tools, power supply for HDD etc. if you could spare a few minutes could you offer some advice or help? id really like to learn how to do this, there's so many videos out there to watch each doing and using different programs and ways etc. just want the best way possible. it would be greatly appreciated. thanks very much for reading this, hopefully you can help me out. where would i download the program what your using on here? any links? thanks ady
in the old days i would have said yes, knock your self out all the stuff you need is here, but the servers are gone, you cant swap drives in xboxes due to drive being locked with a key, there was ways of doing it but the software is gone now. enjoy your xbox, softmod the new one and enjoy that dont try mixing and matching the drives you will bork both boxes.
Hi your tutorials are very good and have inspired me to softmod my Xbox I don't like the unleashed dashboard you installed and prefer XBMC How do I get this and get he Xbox to boot straight to it please?
please help... i soft moded to xbmc and deleted files by mistake now the i turn on my xbox it wont load the menu and i cant reboot. or re-soft mod again... please help
In this video it's the standard AV (composite) cable and the actual resolution is not 720p but 576i (PAL). In part 2 of this series I replaced it with an HD cable.
My Xbox was softmodded , i even change the HDD , with bigger , with emulators and games . I give it to my friend to play some games , but he try to play Splinter Cell from the original disk. After that.. i dont know what he do but.. the console come back to original dashboard and version and now... i can't soft-mod again.. I do all steps for softodding with Splinter Cell , what i do it before .... but.. after pressing " GAMES START > LINUX >CHECK POINTS " nothing happen ..just the game boot again ..... any ideas ?
this is the problem im having.. the xbox sees the usb formats and erases it.. i am now able to put saves on the drive from the xbox.. i put the files on the usb using 360 xplorer.. but the xbox doesn't see the files... but it sees the usb .. lt lets me customize the usb.. but no files
softmodded xbox it was easy enough I notice the power light stays orange.Want to know can do the softmod with the green limited edition original Xbox? or only just the original black version?
For me it freezes after checkpoints. Gives me a black screen and the led light is flashing between orange, red and green. Tried two usb drives, both are recognized by xbox.
I found my old Xbox the other day, and I found this video (among others) online on how to softmod the unit. I followed all the steps to obtain the files (from the link on this video), I put the files on a thumb drive, and was able to successfully copy the files onto the hard drive of the Xbox. From there, I inserted a copy of Splinter Cell (the original, not the platinum). I get to the start screen, I select "Start Game" and then I select the "Linux" Profile. Now here's where the process stops working - I then select "Check Points" and upon doing so, the screen goes black (no sound, no picture) and the light on my Xbox turns from Green to Orange. I have tried this process over and over several times (deleting the files from the Hard Drive before attempting it), and I get the same result each time. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem, or let me know what I may be doing wrong? I would really like to softmod my Xbox and run XBMC on it. ThanksNOTE: I used the SID 5.11.Installer.USB file and the SID 5.11.Installer file on separate occasions to see if I got a different result, and both give me the same result every time.
Has anyone had any issues after putting the files on the usb not showing up on the xbox. The Xbox still sees the drive but when i go to copy the files there is nothing there.
Aww, good memories. Especially that awesome boot up animation. Way better than today's for sure.
It's nice, but that classic PS1 bootup, tho.
Duh, I hate you now. Just listened to it, and just... duh, I miss those times. th-cam.com/video/DIxUScfOQwg/w-d-xo.html

Man, I used to watch this video a long time ago, dreaming that I could eventually get an original Xbox. Things have changed a lot since then.
(Yes, I did get my Xbox about a year ago)
Xbox original is just so magical, so mysterious.
Great video, you made it very clear how to do the softmod.
I thought I should mention though that you should never place a disc down with the label side down unless you have applied a protector to your disc Once the label is scratched the whole disc becomes useless, but if you place it shiny side down and scratch it you can almost always have the scratch polished out and restore the disc.
Thanks for the video, 5 stars
Tony Waldron how to use net in this xbox
Tony Waldron CD had this problem beacause the data was just pressed from the top onto the bottom layer of the disc so the only protection for the data was the top label, DVD was different it's data was sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of the disc, Xbox and PS2 used the DVD format not CD so didn't really matter if the top layer got scratched, the data was still protected in the middle.
I really like your tutorials! Nice work and thank you for taking your time to do these videos.
Sexiest dashboard ever done in history.
Lorenzo Rozelnox I would buy an Xbox one if they brought back this dashboard. Dead fucking serious.
Lorenzo Rzlnx ii
Idk the 360 OG dashboard was also seen asf
That is a NICE TV!
13:05 "spoon yourself DVD" LOL
Thanks for the tutorial! Still worked well in 2018 and i got it running at the first try! I was also lucky twice, the Xbox i got was already on dashboard 5960 and the first USB stick i tried that i already had lying around worked for me so i ordered 3 more USB sticks on Amazon for no reason lol.
Next step for me will be to get a bigger HDD working so i have enough room for games. Thanks again and have fun playing around everyone ;)
Best tutorial of this process online for sure. Worked for me.
BEST INSTRUCTION YET :) will try this tomorrow
Whoa, I just checked out the automatic captions, it's hilarious :D
True, it makes no sense. It makes a funny video funnier.
noobient hi i have a xbox and need a cd room to hd to palyer my x box rackr
noobient it works with midnight club dub edition remix right?
It doesn't seem to matter what appears of video's like this, whatever the subject, you'll always get some moaner wanting to do it down, 'it's old hat' etc, why bother? Well there many late to the game and many other tutorials are difficult to follow for one reason or another, or simply too annoying. So, shut up with the negative vibes, these are brilliantly displayed, simple to follow videos, with actual links that work. So personally, many thanks for all your efforts, I see there are comments relatively recently, hence why I have added mine, great stuff (especially when the camera was stabilized) just joking, but I found them really helpful and I'll set about working on the 3 or 4 consoles I picked up on ebay for peanuts - good work my friend and good luck
The platinum Hits version of splinter cell works for Softmodding your original Xbox
Nice dude I love OG Xbox videos. Regret selling mine but I love my 360 playing games like JSRF cannot be beaten.
2016 and just modded using your videos. super easy if you follow what you see to the letter! Thanks!!
yours are the best tutorials i've found out so far! I'll bother you with some questions of course! thanks...greetings from Italy! ;)
Hi, great video Gradinkov. I have a problem though.
The XBOX doesn't detect the Softmod installer and Splinter Cell files. It does see the USB though. I tried everything, even another XBOX, but nothing works. Help is appreciated :)
hi there do i need fifa 2005 to update my dashboard its k.1.00.4817.03 also the second dashboard number is k 1.005959.03 can it soft modded it that made sence help would be great cheers

sorry to hear that
+Jose Javier Flores You could've hot swapped it and transferred files via xplorer360. Risky, but possible.

A little tip for those having problems finding a compatible usb: try getting a hold of a microsd memory stick, and connect it to the dongle via a microsd to usb adaptor.

Thanks Gradinkov you got my xbox softmodded nice and easily
Hi,I'm trying to help a friend with a softmodded xbox. Do you know how they can a regular game? Do they just insert a game and select launch dvd?
yes, that is what you do, pressing launch game will start the game in the disc drive (sorry, im 8 months late lol)
Hello can you tell me if that process is reversible ? After the softmod made can i erase it and return to the original state (interface and settings) ?

I saw on another video you have to have windows XP for explorer360. Is that true? It looks like you are doing this on a more updated windows.
It's really easy to softmod the xbox. There are tons of tutorials out there.
The trickiest part is finding a compatible USB stick. Had to buy a San Disk Cruzer Blade, because all of my USB sticks weren't compatible.
my flash drive isnt showing up in xlporer360. i have already formated it with the xbox but when i plug the flash drive into my computer it buffers and then dosnt ask to reformate and dosnt show up anywhere
Question does Softmod installer deluxe 5.12? fix the clock loop problem

EEEEEEE
I would suggest to use XBMC dashboard over UnleashX/EvolutionX
hey. if i understood correctly the eject button is for the Custom dashboard and the Power is for the Stock MS Dashboard ?
Is it necessary to delete all saves on the hard drive to do this? Asking because I would have to restart everything from scratch.
can you back up any game saves to use after the softmod? there are a few I do not want to lose
Thanks for the guide, subscribed and liked. How have you managed to get such a nice vibrant picture on your Xbox. I have the same TV as you, are you going through component, scart of some kind of upscaler such as the xrgb mini?
Mate, I didn't use anything fancy in this video, just standard component :)
When hitting the "harddrive or memcard" I get a message saying " could not find a FATX drive to open",,,,,, I ran it as administrator but that didn't help so what should I do?
back when there were cool boot screens, and no RROD
I did everything on this video up the very end and the screen went black. now, it's stuck on xbox live screen and i can't do anything. When i put Splinter Cell back in, it starts opening screen but I get an orange light around eject button. is there anyway to fix this?

Ok i have like 6 USB sticks here an none of them works. Where can i get a compatible USB stick from in 2015??? As all the ones ive looked at on the compatibility list for this mod are like 32MB or 256MB.....you just cant get this USB sticks anymore??

Anyway to upgrade the console if under settings K: is 1.00.4 something...? I know how to upgrade D: but not K: and it won't allow to copy.
I can confirm, that this still works in 2017. There are some small issues with Xplorer360 on Windows 10, but it's easy to solve by downloading and copying msvcr71.dll into Xplorer360 folder/location
Just google "msvcr71.dll download" and you will find it.
is it normal/typical for the XBOX to register the flash drive initially, then not accept it after the files are installed?
Are you using component cables on your pal Xbox?
I want to play my games in progressive scan, is this possible?
Thankyou in advance
Freddy's Jeugdsentiment PAL Xboxs don't support 480p to my knowledge. You'll have luck with a NTSC-U Xbox.
*you can buy component cables in Hong Kong or Japan on your next holiday dude as they DON'T sell them in Europe*
Hello. I would like to know how you made your xbox picture on the entire screen of your tv. Thanks:)
Can you copy saves on the Usb stick before deleting them?
hi is the light meant to be orange in the end?

No worries, I've subscribed to your channel so I will keep an eye out for it at some point in the future. Thanks for your replies!
does a SanDisk 8gb cruzer slide thumb drive work?
When updating the Dashboard, do you HAVE to be connected through ethernet? Or can I have it unplugged because I do not have internet lol
So was this a PAL or NSTC version xbox ???? All I want to do is play my games in HD the hole subject is quite confusing
This is a PAL Xbox. On a PAL Xbox you need the Enigmah videomode switchdisc to switch output to NTSC, on NTSC you can skip that since it's already NTSC.

is it possible to play burned games when you have softmoded your xbox console or can you just play games you have safed on your hard drive?
check your twitter dude!
is it possible to take the raw softmod files and put them on the internal hard drive using xplorer360? (with correct dash)
Yes, but only if you have the eeprom to unlock the hard drive.
hi guys
im ady from the UK. i've just watched your video on you tube, looks good! but was wondering if you could help me out? ill try give as much info as i can. right i've got an original xbox that has been modded (not be me) it has XBMC installed and also coinops 7 with all the games etc on a 320g hard drive. now i was wondering if i can make a direct copy of that hard drive? i've got a 160g ide pata seagate drive completely blank no OS installed on it. could i get all the data transferd to my spare drive? i would like one as a back up just in case.
also my mate have given me his old original xbox as he was no longer using it, this is completely factory standard and never been opened. if i opened it up and removed the drive would i be able just to put my spare hdd in and transfer all the info that way? and does the hard drive need to be formatted or modded any way before? is there any good programs out there i could download?
ive never attempted anything like this before so complete novice! altho i know how to use a computer, download stuff etc, i have all the tools, power supply for HDD etc.
if you could spare a few minutes could you offer some advice or help? id really like to learn how to do this, there's so many videos out there to watch each doing and using different programs and ways etc. just want the best way possible. it would be greatly appreciated. thanks very much for reading this, hopefully you can help me out.
where would i download the program what your using on here? any links?
thanks
ady
in the old days i would have said yes, knock your self out all the stuff you need is here, but the servers are gone, you cant swap drives in xboxes due to drive being locked with a key, there was ways of doing it but the software is gone now.
enjoy your xbox, softmod the new one and enjoy that dont try mixing and matching the drives you will bork both boxes.
Hi your tutorials are very good and have inspired me to softmod my Xbox
I don't like the unleashed dashboard you installed and prefer XBMC
How do I get this and get he Xbox to boot straight to it please?
Nice video,which cable uses to see in HD?
Check out part 3 for that, you need an "HD cable for the Xbox" for 720p to work.
I have the Sony Micro Vault Click 8GB. It seems to be an older flash drive but it am concerned about the space being too high.
please help... i soft moded to xbmc and deleted files by mistake now the i turn on my xbox it wont load the menu and i cant reboot. or re-soft mod again... please help
I try my old ipod shuffle 4gen 4gb (the one with no buttons) and the usb start rigth away :D
yes 4 gb ipod nanos up to gen 3 work too, but you have to know how to rebuild the ipod software if you want to use it as an ipod again.
Could you still play/make new saves for 007 and splinter cell? Hope they dont just become "one use" discs.
Will Settle yes
can you soft mod a xbox if you don´t have a dvd drive? i got one whit lasor problem..
That doesn't matter.The games go on harddrive.As long you have the program ready to go in the xbox dont know why it should not work

What did you use to connect your Xbox to your HD TV for a 720p/1080p display?
In this video it's the standard AV (composite) cable and the actual resolution is not 720p but 576i (PAL). In part 2 of this series I replaced it with an HD cable.
should i back up my saves before deleting, so that i can put them back onto the hard drive after i softmod?
Which pendrives with 4 GB work?
Thanks for video! I'm soon gonna buy an Orginal xbox on ebay and the parts for softmoding :)!
Good luck, mate!

And when i open xplorer360 and clicked on drrive, open, memcard. I got a message saying "Could not find a FATX drive to open" what do I do?!??

softmodded xbox it was easy enough I notice the power light stays orange.Want to know can do the softmod with the green limited edition original Xbox? or only just the original black version?
That's a good question mate, you tell me ;) I see no reason for it not to work, but you can never know...
I have soft modded a special halo green edition Xbox they will work fine :)
im getting a cluster when copying to xbox360wxpoloer didn`t at now it is help?
Ummm, pardon?
Xplorer360: tool wii not let me drag and drop. getting a fatx error, what can i do to get the files over
Hi mate, my best suggestion is to try with a different thumb drive, from what I understand this is purely a trial-n-error procedure, sorry.
For me it freezes after checkpoints. Gives me a black screen and the led light is flashing between orange, red and green. Tried two usb drives, both are recognized by xbox.
I found my old Xbox the other day, and I found this video (among others) online on how to softmod the unit. I followed all the steps to obtain the files (from the link on this video), I put the files on a thumb drive, and was able to successfully copy the files onto the hard drive of the Xbox. From there, I inserted a copy of Splinter Cell (the original, not the platinum). I get to the start screen, I select "Start Game" and then I select the "Linux" Profile. Now here's where the process stops working - I then select "Check Points" and upon doing so, the screen goes black (no sound, no picture) and the light on my Xbox turns from Green to Orange. I have tried this process over and over several times (deleting the files from the Hard Drive before attempting it), and I get the same result each time. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem, or let me know what I may be doing wrong? I would really like to softmod my Xbox and run XBMC on it. ThanksNOTE: I used the SID 5.11.Installer.USB file and the SID 5.11.Installer file on separate occasions to see if I got a different result, and both give me the same result every time.
What Model TV you have ? How many inches it have Thx
Sony KDL-42W655A, 42"
@@gradinkau Thanks 👍👍👍
