the easiest way would be to install a modchip and then lock the hdd.. You could then remove the modchip and the softmod should work fine..
Another method which i havent done myself is to have a backup of the eeprom and other information from the SOFTMODDED xbox with the ERROR and then flash your modchipped xbox with that information so you match eeproms with the broken xbox.
You can then install and lock the hdd using your own modchipped machine (with matcing info).. Just remember you will need to flash your own eeprom information back to get your xbox back to its original state.
You can use CONFIG MAGIC to do this.
but seriously.. Apart from that you could try pirrups hotswap tutorial here to recover softmods without a EEPROM backup...
