Faulty XBMC

[qwerty?]

Hi, I softmodded by Xbox Original a few years ago (2008), and have been using it since. I used it only yesterday, but last night it boots up to the X logo, then screen goes blank. If I have a game in it, the game will run.

Any ideas on what is wrong/ what I could do? Kids are lost without it.

Thanks

Edit:- Sorry, forgot to add that I couldn't get into Error Recovery Mode so I have no debug log.

How did you softmod it? Name of installer/method used?

1) Have you tried reseting XBMC to default beside the Error Recovery Mode (using wired controller)?

2) Can you still load a non-retail disc?

FYI, if your kids insert a 2004 or newer game (i.e Halo 2) and inadvertently enter the Xbox Live option, it could wipe out your softmod depending on your original softmod method above.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I don't know the Installer/method. I hot swapped the Cable if that what you mean by method? I still have the CDROM I used, buy don't see anything that tells me what version etc it was. I suppose if I actually could find the way I did it 4 years ago, I could probably do the same again???


Tried debug mode, but doesn't work, either did the reset mode!
I don't have any non retail disks, never used them. I just used it for media playing.


I downloaded the XBMC4XBOX-3.2-STABLE.zip yesterday, but don't know if this is the way to go, and if it is - how to go about it

This hotswapping method below may be similar to what you did a few years ago. Since you still have the original CD, it's worth a try

You won't be able to update to the latest XBMC4Xbox 3.x until you have a working softmod again. If and when you do, there are a few excellent video tutorials under Guides and Tutorials section http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=14
