Hey guys im new to softmoding but i was able to do so recently by following a tutorial from this site.For some reason when i would power up my box it wouldn't load to the evox dashboard i installed.It would play backup games fine but only boot to the sofmod installer menu.I backuped my dash and eprom and removed softmod and erased all files on my e drive(1st mistake)then backuped my msdash again to e.When i restarted it would try to access xbox live automatically and would fail and do over and over again.So i loaded halo 2 and this fixed that and i got my dash back but when i retried and loaded softmod all over again It will play regular games will only laod to regular dash unless i have splinter cell in and wont play backups.It says disk unreadable not valid xbox disk or something like that.Can someone help me to get my softmod back.Please!

ok ok yes we can help... but what softmod did you do? and i dont mean by the disc but what the softmod is called? do you stil have your exploitable game and your mem card?
and what current status is your xbox now? softmod or retail ? _________________ Xbox 360 Premium edition

Which SID are you using? Sounds like the softmod files aren't loaded on the hdd.
When you boot Splinter Cell, it will load the softmod menu. You need to install the softmod and EvoX to e:. If you set up for dual boot, the power button is for the softmod and the eject button is for the retail dash. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

There is an error message number. Would you share that number with us? It would help us determine what point you are at in this issue. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Thanks for the replys guys.
i have the ms dash and i did back up my eeprom.I have the new saves and did delete the old but still the same problem. I think when i erased the e drive i deleted something that is needed by the softmod.originally when it worked and booted up it would go to the sid installer dash.

Sorry this is all new for me.I went into the xbox harddive tyhrough the ms dash memory and deleted them.then i reinstalled them from the memory card fresh. I put the splinter cell game back in and entered sid 3.1 screen .First thing I backed up the ms dash and eeprom then reinstalled the softmod.then installed evox to e and patched the ms dash took the game out and rebooted.When it came back on it booted to ms dash.i tried loading a backup games to noavail and it says disc unreadable not proper disk or may be dirty(same problem).It doesnt boot to an evox dash and doesn't seem modded.

Your procedure seems ok. My guess is that the gamesaves may be corrupt. Download SID4.5 and see how that works for you. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS
