Hello to everybody.
I've installed a X3Ce Chip in a Xbox for the sole intention of media center use.
The chip and the software were correctly installed and i've selected the option in config live to start automaticly the XBMC whenever i would power on the console without going to config live and to bypass the initial animated intro.
Everything worked fine until i wanted to upgrade de XBMC for a newer and much better version.
- i could not paste the new XBMC over the older version because it was in execution.
- pasted over by ftp but it did not run.
- replaced the older version by ftp and placed the new one in a subdirectory but could not acess the config live to set the new filename in the boot order option.
- renamed the default.xbe file and the console went to the config live when it was turned on. So i've changed the boot order option to pin point the newer XBMC version but it did not work because the path lenght was too long.
- i've tried other things until i've decided to start over with everything and i've erased all files mentioned in the boot order of config live and cleaned the hdd.
This is when i've made a CRUCIAL mistake: by distraction, accident or divine stupidity i've restarted the console without disabling the option to start the console without going to config live.
Now it shows the "Rox my Box" logo and just sits there. It has no indication of what file to run and i can't get back to config live.
I've flashed the bios again in the hopes of erasing all options i'd set in config live, but it did not worked. There was no problem in flashing because the process did not generated any errors and i've tried several bioses for testing purposes and the bios bank was erased and updated successfuly showing their respectfuly intro logos. (Also tried in 1mb bank nº2)
I've noticed one thing thought, once i've reflashed the original bios, it presented the logo "rox my box" without the inicial animated logo just as i've set from the beginning. Is there, somewhere, some configuration information that is not erased when reflashing?
I've looked in the forums and the net for a solution before i decided to post. I even tried the solution in "http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45380" but it did not worked. I did NOT set any password.
How can i gain access to config live again?
Can someone help or sugest something to do?
Thanks.
