Softmodded Xbox (1) got nuked by Live update - help.
« on: November 30, 2008, 11:16:40 pm »
Hello all,

My friend has a softmodded xbox, and says when he loaded Jade Empire, it updated his "live" and now it only boots to the MS dash.

How can he fix this?  Do I need to boot up the exploit save in Splinter Cell and install the softmod again, or will this not work?

Thanks for any help!

Gonna give it a try tonight, he just dropped it off.

it should still pick-up I think.

the non stock dash must have gotten moved or written over somehow but the rest should still be there hopefully.

Update:

Wouldn't boot a DVDr, so I booted Splinter Cell.  The HD still had the Autoinstaller saves, so it was a 2 minute fix.  :)

Thanks for the help

This happened to one of my chip modded xboxes last night.  I have another but haven't turned it on yet.
Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a whampin' and whompin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.

With your chipped xbox, you should be able to boot a AID disc, and replace the dashboard.  Should be an easy fix (hopefully).
