Erase eeprom with X3 bios on backup screen

[Mooner2]

How do you erase the eeprom off the xbox or replace it with a blank eeprom with the X3 bios because the backup screen is the only screen i can get to, that works.

i believe you hold Y+X+B+A on startup

 

[Mooner2]

you are kidding right

 

[baseballer87]

what have you got to loose?

 

[Mooner2]

I tried it and nothing happened besides the error 06 screen a I always get.

 

[baseballer87]

are you trying this with x3cl startup?

 

[Mooner2]

I can't get to the X3 screen, the only sceen i can get to is the backup one, and the other ones have the error code. It sucks.

if I'm not mistaken, error 6 means the console cannot unlock your hd. In otherwords, you got a locked hd from somewhere and just try to couple it with the xbox motherboard. Since you have a modchip installed, go and buy a new drive or take any extra PC drive you have lying around then format the drive and install a dashboard onto it. If purchasing a new drive, make sure to get a lockable drive if you plan to play on live.

I'am not really looking to throw this one away since it is 250gb. I head XBHDM can do the job to unlock the hdd and reformat C:. Has anybody did this?

I'm having the same problem. could i no just take the harddrive and install it in my computor and unlock and format it.

I don't think it can be done without either knowing the hdd password (key) or removing the eeprom from the old motherboard (that the hdd came from) to the new motherboard. If you don't have any of the two, then you got yourself a nice paper weight.

Have you tried using Slayers Evox Auto installer? There's a option to lock/unlock hard drives on there that you might find useful.
