Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 11:09 am Post subject: Auto Deluxe gets to splash, again and again....
Hi, all, first post and as usual looking for guidance. Sorry to be so demading off the bat
Anyway, i cant get version 4.53 to boot past the splash screen, the one with the large red X in a box.
I tried it initially with a brand new drive in, i then got prompted to format the various partitions at which point the auto installer splash comes up, stays a while, goes blank and then comes back again. It repeats this forever!
I have burnt it to different media, with extras, without, the lite version but always the same. I have tried slayers 2.7 and that works fine so i am really confused.
Background is this:
Xbox crystal given to me for nothing, version 1.6b and Xecuter 2.6 modchip (solderless).
For some reason i can get slayers but i cant get MS Dash at all. I am unsure what bios is installed as it just says unknown. I have burnt a bios disc with 5.035 for my version and tried to flash but it says Halting.
My network connection doesnt appear to work, its says i have a link but the mac address comes up all zeroes so i cant ftp in.
On the bank selector it tells me flash version is 3.0.3 which i have read is correct for v1.6b
Can any one guide me please? I guess the mod is installed okay as i can use slayer.
My four problems to summise are:
No MS Dash, No network, Cant install A.I.D and BIOS claims to be unknown.
Any help on any of these would be really appreciated.
Sorry to be long winded but i thought it best to let it all out
To add, i do lock the drive to try to access MS Dash but that doesnt work either

To update, i have managed to flash it to 5035 which seemed to be successful but it still says BIOS unknown! Not sure if this is normal. _________________ XBOX v1.6b Crystal PAL:

Damn this is crazy for a noob like me, i tried to run the babylon DVD but it gets to the unleashX splash and does the same as the A.I.D one, fades to black splash and repeat. I dont get it! _________________ XBOX v1.6b Crystal PAL:

Put the disc in, turn off the XBOX and turn it back on

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
I tried that but it is still the same, regardless of if i use Babylon or AID (Full or light).
I cannot seem to get to a menu. The splash screen just fades in and out with a bit of disc access thrown in. I do get in the top left corner a few graphics that are reminiscent of the old matrix screen saver (if you know what i mean).
I dont know if this helps but when i ejected the disc on one occasion after i got bored of looking at the splash screen i saw a message that told me i was out of resources on a couple of partitions. But i only saw this once.
Thanks again _________________ XBOX v1.6b Crystal PAL:

It has just dawned on me!
If using Slayers Installer (which boots fine) and i try to boot into or install UnleasX as the default dash then it does a very similar thing to my Babylon/AID problem.
It hangs and doesnt go anywhere.
So is it possible for this to be related to UnleashX? _________________ XBOX v1.6b Crystal PAL:

looked at your sigil (and subject) and two things come to mind....
1, hardmod!
2, multiple attempts to remedy the problem has left a "mark" where it's not needed! (BSOD/suspended activity)
......
i don't possess a hardmodded xbox so i'm not certain there! (voicing possibilities)
get your eeprom.bin to hand, create a babylon disk (the xbhdm part) and rebuild the C:/ volume from scratch using an ide/pata compatible computer!
......
hardmods are not my area!
if it's what's causing your problems, the experts in those fields may help?!
all the best!
....................
[edit]
try installing another dash using your previous steps...
if they install okay, it's possible something resident on C:/ volume is causing the BSOD/hang?! if so, redo C:/ volume from scratch! (hordmod conditions/environment could be playing havoc with the unleashx installation?) _________________ to all my friends... farewell and all the best to future prosperity... and remember, be excellent to each other!

Try a C and E rebuild using AutoBuilder 5.1. That will give you a virgin enviro, if the issue persists after you KNOW its a BIOS/Chip issue
