Xbmc wont start when I changed skin

Post by Motorolja »

Hello!
Just bought a second hand Xbox from eBay. Modded with evolution X.
I find this nice site and read about xbmc!
I connect to FTP and installed xbmc and everything worked perfect.
I changed the dashboard load to xbmc and its worked perfect!
BUT now when I changed skin and rebote the Xbox it freeze at the start, I can only see
"Xbmc" logo.

I can not go to my pc and connect to Xbox via FTP because its not find my Xbox.
Can't load up evolution x dashboard because xbmc is the first dashboard.

Please help. And thank you!

Cold boot from a rescue disc (eg Hexen) and you can either connect via FTP and delete the problem skin or fix it by deleting the skin using the disc.
If you're softmodded then set up a dual boot (I think Hexen takes you through the process but it's a while since I've needed it). If it happens again you can then boot to unleashx (or whatever) from the eject button if xbmc fails to start.

Try:
Error Recovery Mode
If XBMC is starting up (for instance you see the splash screen) but then is not progressing to load correctly after that, you can boot into "Error Recovery Mode" by holding down the White and Y buttons during startup.

And which Skin did you have it on?

The previous link has that info btw (It's also on the wiki). That image must have been grabbed from the old wiki, as it has spam at the bottom! :)

Thanks you all for help, I will try this when I come home from work.
The skin was Rapier Clarity Mod, don't know If I install is wrong. Just download it to pc and drag the folder skin to xbmc folder skin folder.
