    Do you have xdevkit.dll in the same folder as alteration? Also man if worse comes to worse you can send it to me free of charge and I will attempt to fix it as long as you pay for ship. First however before you decide to do that I want to manually walk you through it in conversational pace message me at

    Could just use the Xbox Neighborhood to Screen Capture..
    & with searching "alteration" I've noticed that seems irrelevant to what ever you are trying to do..
    |||sondow||| I thought you get help from here? Didn't know you also "offer" help. ;)

    i'm trying to use the software that came with it to fix its problems. i have been reading documentatin that came with it in order to figure out how y get the video back. every trip to the dark side has crippled it even more. i suffer from a lack f experience however i would like t figure this out. that program gave me a little more understanding. i got caught putting the cart in front of the horse. now i am paying for. I will use whatever tool is necessary as long as it does not damage the box anymore. It was working fine...nephew retail dashes it and turned it off during conversion(i think can't really beat it out of him) i had retail dash with the eject button. i inserted a recovery lost video tried remote failed. Now i am reading the documents to try and talk to the box like a sensible individual and not throw a bunch of software at it.

    You had 1640 on the kit?

    Finding kits with such an old flash these days is somewhat rare. Is this a final kit or is this a beta kit you're trying to run? Just curious. More detail on the entire situation would help.

    Also, if the kit still has network connectivity, you shouldn't need to send it out to anyone to get it worked on. Anyone with the knowledge to assist should be able to take a look at it remotely so long as it has an IP address.

    And this goes out to everyone, remember to keep focused on the topic and the technical details, not other personalities.

How would i know if its a beta (prototype) the sticker on the side or by opening it? Again a newbie ? Hence the reAding.

    when i plug the console into a sd vcr/tv the sound makes a very loud buzzing noise and the picture is all squigly...the cords that came with the box don't have switches on them mostly...are the kit's sd/component cords switched? tv-hdtv i have black not switch cords and grey ones with switches...with the grey switchable...2nd one i tried i was able to get a reaction to video but still blurry...Pal mode?

    Care to share with the forum what the solution (and root cause of it all) was?

    Well it didn't solve his problem but I am talking to him, he updated with a new recovery so I doubt he has a beta kit because it will give an error message before updating. I tried getting him to boot into 2 different recoveries. When booting xbox his status goes to HDD:\Xshell (which is weird >_>) and sometimes alternates to his flash\dash.xex so what I did was just have him boot it from the game partition changed the xex status to blank then had him press A but it sends him back to xshell off hdd. He wont remove sidecar to remove hdd as he finds it delicate so I will be trying to look at it hands on this weekend with my differen't video tools / settings to see if it really is a video problem. I walked him through the video settings blind when he was in xshell but it didn't change anything. Best thing I can do atm is look at it with my own two hands if he decides this is what he wants so I'll let you guys know the solution when I find it.

    Everone has given me solid info on mybox. Any errors have been due to my nubery not anyone's info Or help. Knowing what u have is helpful in not brickin yer unit. Being that it is a black unit w/ emu ports and black sdcar not grey i ASUMED it was new enuff to updated. Gonna beat on it a little more with this hammer tonight before sendong it into the wild tho. Not really afraid to take it apart tho the disasembly guide is quite informative in the sticky!

    Yes black on black. That is it. The sidecar and the console both are the sAme shade of black.

    Problem here is, Beta kits will give an error and will refuse to update. If this is the case I can restore his kit with a hacked recovery for beta kits.
