restoring softmodded xbox
I recently bought a original xbox. it was softmodded to have custom background and animation. I was able to restore almost everything. but when am booting the xbox the title with the logo is red and purple. What's weirder is that before the title and after the title, everything is normal. SO the green orb that it shows before the title is green and after the menu itself is also green and normal. the softmod restorer that i used is truhexen 2021. So is this xbmc will restore it? ( I dont want a softmodded xbox with free games with/or better stuff and new stuff. i just want the og experience. )

Re: restoring softmodded xbox
What version Xbox are we talking about? Are you100% certain it is a softmod because your description makes it sound as if it may be chipped or TSOPed.
If you can post some screenshots of what it is doing whilst booting it would help.
It could just be a loading screen, part of the skin that your dashboard is using before booting the MS dash (are you sure it it is the MS dash?) but it could also be an indication it is using a modified BIOS ie. the BIOS from a chip or a replacement BIOS if a TSOP.
If it is the latter it won't be easy to restore the Xbox to genuine 'retail state' as the original BIOS has been replaced.
Whatever you do don't start messing around with any existing files/folders you may have access to, with or without the help of TrueHeXEn. If you delete or replace the wrong thing you could end up with a non-booting Xbox if it is a softmod.
