Hi Guys!
I'm having issues softmodding my xbox. I've successfully located the install files and copied them to the xbox hard drive no problem. The problem is that everytime I try to load the linux installer through SPlinter Cell (original version) checkpoints it just freezes. I've made sure to delete any other splinter cell saves before I load each time so I know that's not the issue. I've tried several different exploit packages such as SID 4, 5, 5.1, and nDure all with the same results. Is there a specific package I should be using?
my kernel is 5101
my dash is 5960
Thanks so much for any help you guys can offer a newbie that just wants to play super mario bros on his xbox!

Did you back up your eeprom and MS dash before you start the mod install?
Check out my vid starting at 3:20 in to the vid.

If even after doing a backup it still freezes use Pimped to install the exploit. Be sure to follow the tut and install the MS backup after the build and to run the softmod menu when you first boot your XBOX and backup the eeprom

If I understand you correctly, I've not even gotten far enough to do that. I just get to the part on Splinter Cell where you select the linux file and it freezes right there. Again, as I understand it, you cannot back up the EEPROM until you get to that menu that it's supposed to launch, right? Is there something else I should be doing because pretty much every tutorial I've watched or read (dozens) basically all say the same thing.
Thanks very much for your response!!!!

Are you using the stock MS video cables?

I'm using the xbox Component cables. I don't even know if I still have the composite cables. Apparently that makes a difference?
Thanks again!

Do you have D:5960 installed? If not pop in Halo2 or any Live enabled game and when it boots pick the Live option and it will install D:5960. If that doesnt work you can try using this exploit or using a PC based softmod like Pimped
If you use the included exploit be sure to pick NK67 (its actually Xmens NK10) as that will install the newest NKPatcher and give you support for HDD upgrades etc.

thanks for the response. I do have 5960 installed.
I attempted to download the splinter cell link in your post but it gave me an error saying the source file can't be reached.
not sure a pc exploit will work for me as i just have a laptop now. I junked my old pc when we moved a couple months ago
