How to uninstall Media X Menu and Install UnleashX on Original Xbox

Ah well you've screwed it then, I got confused from the other thread. You'll have to remove the hard disk by a hotswap method then.

Error 14 is because the Xbox can't find the files required for boot, like C:\xboxdash.xbe for example.

If you have a PC with IDE then use XBOXHDM and use the backup EEPROM.

I'm confused as to why you wanted a dualboot in the first place, all you had to do was select softmod-one click install. It would of reverted everything back to when it was first softmodded.

 

Hi

No, I havent tried the babylon method yet, I am just about to burn it on a disc.

On that website, I went to installers, and then on the bottom of the page, there is babylon 2 beta, its about 4 gigs.

Are these the files I need?

Cheers

I guess because console had installed dual boot option, so I thought this was the way to go...

Unfortunately I dont have a PC with IDE connection, so most likely if the method Amiga user suggested above, doesnt work, I will have to get another xbox.

 

YES! :wink-new:
give it a blast!
(that said, if error 14 is still screwing with you, then hotswap it is)
really hoping you get back on track, xbox can be a whore to fix sometimes. (hardmods are justified at this point if all else has failed)
all the best! nthego:
[edit]
just spotted the addendum above.
DON'T waste that (semi) fucked xbox, keep it if worst comes to worst, you can hardmod it (any version) OR if it's prior to the 1.6 POS (i HATE 1.6's) go for a TSOP flash. (keep for spare parts if you can't be arsed with it)
a different subject i have no experience with myself. (just softmods is my bag for now)

 

Damn it, I am sorry, I am looking trough the files, there are so many, I cant see an ISO that i need, there only one called Cd Kicker GUI, and its only 800 KB?

 

okay, i'm downloading the archive from the apps site, the large red banner link.
i'll need to take a look at it.
if it's the one i'm thinking of, it's a 'mod disk' maker.
a custom exe that uses that mass of files to generate a custom disk.
such as:
1, minimal build. (cd size)
2, maximum build (dvd size)
3, supplemental: you can have emus and shit, it's all it with that 4g size (as mods aren't that large by default)
...
lemme check out the archive, and if it's what i think it is (a prior build sent to testers) i'll need to recall the steps to create an iso image and report back!
that metal vid on his apps site is that exe being run to create a babylon iso.
...
iirc:
1, run the babylon2.exe
2, choose the type (cd, usb mc exploit or dvd)
3, what you want on that iso (like the tits out extras and bells)
...
sit tight, brb. (and really sorry about this, shouldn't be this difficult)

 

(sorry staffs for the bump)
right, you've got a final build, public relz. (BABYLON2 6-13 INSTALLER.exe)
i forgot it's a giant container exe (built with cmd win32 compiler) that installs the required setup to computer.
once it's installed, you know what to do.
it comes with tutorials.
the archive you have has plain documentation aside that giant exe archive.
...
i'll add them all here, the file you have is the public relz.
intall it BUT it kinda locks up the computer til it's run it's installation course, so don't fret. (but take a shit load if time off, an hour at least for the installation)
again, everything is there and sorted!
all the best! :witless:

 

Thanks for such a great support Amiga!

Did you ever manage to unbrick an xbox showing Err 14 with this method?

I mean, what do you think they chances are this will work?

Cheers

 

not myself, but i've had as bad.
the fuckin console was BSOD after the green reactor core animation.
because the console was modded prior to fuckup, it was an easy fix. (if you can't get to da$h, it's almost as bad as an error#)
did fix error 14 ONE-TIME by way of hotswap just after i met SPPV. (i ranted on about what an headtest it was, he agreed)
...
give it a pop, and if all else fails, head on over to xtras, hit me and SPPV up via pm's (i'm the same username wherever i am) and we'll see about resolving this optimum fuckup.
i didn't write this item, just tested the beta for QA/functions (it passed 101% with flying colours) so bear that in mind.
at this point, talk to the man for the official support, as it's his baby, and he'll be able to spell out his shit than i could for him.
still, i'm on standby if you need it!
give the shit a go all the same, if you still get the hump, refer to the text above in this response! :wink-new:
good luck! nthego:

 

I have just tried this and no luck.

The console doesnt even boot up to that part where Microsoft logo would appear at the bottom.

A bit hard to believe how easy it was to stuff it up.

Is there any other way to fix this, but the hotswap?

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

well, i'm not aware of any aside recreating the hdd (with eeprom.bin to hand) from scratch.
....
as you don't have an ide compatible setup to hand, options are limited. (when an issue like that arises, the computer-to-xbox-hdd-rebuild is the goto fallback, as it's impossible to fail)
...
as it stands:
1, if console is prior to 1.6 pcb revision, TSOP flash.
2, any xbox revision can be hardmodded with additional chipset/pcb. (like TSOP, you can bang any compatible hdd in there regardless of eeprom status, and because you don't require eeprom, you can use usb enclosures to prepare the hdd as neutral for ANY TSOP/hardmod xbox)
3, for pure softmod and eeprom to hand, xbhdm for the hdd rebuild/upgrade using an ide lagacy compatible computer.
...
4, the man himself.
in instances where users have tried their utmost BY THE LETTER and failed, where TSOP/hardmod is not an option nor is having compatible ide computers available, he does hdd rebuilds himself using you eeprom that you have (KEEP THAT REGARDLESS, IT'S THAT CONSOLE LAST LIFELINE ASIDE THE TSOP/HARDMOD/NO IDE COMPATIBLE COMPUTER TO HAND) i believe he supplied the hdd/shipping at cost, you send him your eeprom and he does the legwork because you put effort in.
...
aside all listed above, i'm not seeing much options that don't involve stress of some coronary kind.
...
now i didn't write this, the monster that guards me did...

really sorry it's turned into a headfuck.
refer to above.
good luck and all the best! :smile-new:
[edit]
typo.

 

Just by reading this,I am wondering if by now TSOP flashing is mandatory or not.

 

if on 1.6's, not a chance. (hardmod only)
and NOT for the novice or intermediate user.
soldering to the D0 pad is bullshit for shaky hands, and many have screwed TSOP/hardmods before today.
this item is created for the newbs (like me) of the world that don't have confidence or resources to shred their console.
TSOP/hardmod for the expert (and i don't use expert lightly) and softmod for the rest...:witless:

 

I have shaky hands but I can do the D0:wire it to a screw!
Damn,even TSOP is easy for me. Just practiced on a dead 1.6 (that sucks more than the 360 and Xbox one combined) board.

 

hmm?! :concern:
for YOU, perhaps, but that's another subject entirely.
please stay on track as there's enough reading on this thread that strays off-subject as it is.
thanks for you understanding. :smile-new:

 

Hotswap is the only method because error is dashboard related.
You need to hotswap to rebuild HDD with XboxHDM (SID5 works great) and that's all.

 

^^ it just hit me.
for the sake of it, if the console is in the same 'BSOD' like condition, leave it sat there for approximately ten minutes and see if it goes to da$h?
...
sometimes, when a mod fucks up, it's not really a C:/ volume error but a user/custom partition was capitalised. (0 bytes remaining, requiring format in UNLX da$h to recover use of the effected partition. F:/ volume is usually effected in this scenario, and if so, ALL data on that partition is LOST)
IF any partition was capitalised (especially if the effected partitions are at the maximum BASE volume capacity of 126g approx) you'll be sat there at BSOD for roughly ten minutes while the xbox is trying to check it.
...
power up console, leave it sat there regardless for ten minutes TOPS.
if it doesn't default to any da$h after the fact, then C:/ volume is fucked and required redoing from scratch. (hotswap or xbhdm)
if it DOES default to a da$h, use that opportunity to load the babylon disk, use the inbuilt UNLX mini-frontend to format the F:/ volume (and G:/ if present) and you should be able to do the mod you set out to do while that loaded babylon menu is still active.
...
if the above fails, hotswap it is. (or look to my earlier response regarding SPPV's hdd rebuild himself if you send him eeprom and cover BASIC hdd/shipping cost) :smile-new:
[edit]
if the console is using stock/default hdd, they'll be no F:/ volume, and at that point, if you don't get a quicker da$h response (minute at best) the mod is fucked and is required redoing via hotswap or xbhdm.

 

Hotswap and XboxHDM,aren't those the same thing?

 

NO!
they're not.
xbhdm requires an ide compatible computer, target hdd and eeprom. (no fuckin bs swapping shit)
hotswap is when you don't have eeprom but want to lock the hdd to the target console. (chimp is used if there's a modded xbox to hand for the cable swap. a computer is used if you don't have another modded xbox to hand)
...
please research the differences between the two, the web can better explain it, thanks. :witless:
[edit]
xbhdm can be used for a hotswap, but that's where an ide compatible computer comes in...so no, it not the same!

 

I've heard about Chimp hotswap (I've seen a video of Xbox-Xbox hotswap) and seen its GUI,but the most common hotswap I've seen is the PC IDE way. (also the method I used to softmod my HDD )

Anyways,HDD rebuild is pretty easy,as his error being dash related,he could just rebuild with SID5 and install UnleashX at the same time,right?

I've had error 13 but I fixed it the same way,and all of this being blind (no TV used until softmodded):
boot Xbox to error 12 (DVD parameters or something like that),hotswap,boot into XboxHDM menu,select option 1,rebuild HDD from scratch (he can use this safely since I think SID5 has the original dash as well),swap back to Xbox before power off PC,power off Xbox,hook it up and test. If everything went right it should boot into UnleashX (with the communist sign,dunno why?) straight away,and if eject pressed it should boot into softmod menu (something similar to AID4.53's menu,but dark blue-ish like).

 

Guys

Thanks for your help.

I have left the console sitting on error 14 screen for 10 mins, unfotunately it did not help.

I am quite good with soldering, I do this for a living anyway.

The thing, I am very limited with time, and dont want to spend too much time on this, especially when I can get another console for $20.

But, at the same time, I am so reluctant to chuck this one in the bin.

I am going to ask a friend if he has an old PC with IDE ports, is this all I need? I mean am I set to go then?

Also, if I soldering on this chip http://www.modsupplier.com/catalog/xbox-duox-2-lite-p-156.html
Would I be able to boot into the console normally?

I am pretty sure my console is 1.6.

Thanks
