How to Softmod Your Xbox With Krayzie Ndure Installer

Written by AzzidReign

 

Requirements:

Newest Microsoft Dashboard

If you had/have xbox live that won't be a problem. The last dashboard update I believe was in 2006.

Action Replay:

You can buy it here from Amazon

Must own 1 of these 3 games:

Xbox LIVE! Gamertag: Must have a gamertag on your Xbox before you softmod. If you do not, you will have to use the Extras folder that comes with the installer.

Krayzie's Softmod Installer Files:

Please download the correspond file of the game you have. (These are direct iBotModz Downloads, Please do not abuse)

 

This download contains the SID 5.0.1 exploits for all 3 exploited games.

or here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mkxxvkjzfrg/sid501.rar

 

 

NOTE: When you are done downloading, make sure to unrar/unpack the files. NEVER UNPACK THE UDATA WHEN YOU SEE IT.

 

Getting your gamesaves on your Memory Unit (MU)

• 1. Install the software that came with your Action Replay (will be referred as AR from now on). If you are confused at what this means, a disc comes with AR, put that in and install it.
  
• 2. Plug in your AR USB adapter into your USB port on your computer. Make sure your memory card is in the adapter now.
  
• 3. Bring up the AR program. It should look like this (the pictures below show SID installer but it's the same concept, it just won't say SID for the file):
  
• 
  
• 4. Navigate to your Krayzie Ndure Installer folder and in that folder, go to the save folder (for Splinter Cell, there is 2 saves folders) and drag the RARed udata (remember to drag BOTH udata's for SC if thats the game you are using) to the Memory Card (MC) slot on your AR software. It should look like this:
  
• 
  
• 5. Once you have both files on your MC, remove it from the AR adapter and bring it over to your Xbox. Plug it into your controller and boot up your Xbox without a game in the drive.
  
• 6. Transfer the files onto your hard drive (hdd). To do this go to the "Memory" screen from the main standard MS Dashboard. When you get into the memory menu, click on the memory card (by pressing left on the D-Pad) and select it by pressing A. When you get into your memory card and find the file, you might have to press the right button on your D-Pad to select the file and then choose copy. Do this for BOTH files or else the installation will not work/start.
  

Krayzie Softmod 1.1 Tutorial

 

IMPORTANT!!!! 007 Game Exploit Users ONLY

Please read quoted text below, anyone else can skip

The 007 version needs to be loaded a certain way in order to get the save working otherwise it will just boot to a black

screen. When you get to the load game screen DON'T select load game but start a new one. Then when you reached the actual

game (after the cutscene), hit the start button and select quit game, Then go back to the load game screen and this time

select "load game".

 

 

 

Step 1: Now that the files have been transfered to the Xbox, put the game in that you are going to use to softmod with (Splinter Cell, Mechassault, 007:AUF). Each game is different when it comes to how to load linux. Here's the break down:

 

Splinter Cell: Go to Start Game, click LINUX, and you wont see any check points, but still press A for the Check Points twice. Then the installer should load up. Pics of the process:

 

 

Mechassault: Go to Campaign, click Run Linux and that should load the installer. Mechassualt is known to be harder to get the installer loading since it requires a certain edition. Please be sure that when you have 'Run Linux' highlighted, the files description is as follows:

Controls: Normal

Difficulty: Regular

Current Level: Going Down Hard

If that does not show up, then you will have to get a different version or get Splinter Cell or 007.

Pics of the process:

 

 

007: Go to Load Mission, then select the Xbox Hard Disk option and that should load the installer. Pics of the process:

 

 

NOTE: If it loads a black/blank screen, this means that your MU (memory unit) is corrupting the files. People have been able to fix this by using a different MU to transfer the gamesaves.

 

• Step 2: Click 1st Backup EEPROM
  
• -- Click Yes or OK for the next 2 windows then a new screen will come up and click BACKUP EEPROM
  
• Step 3: I suggest going to SETTINGS at the bottom, get your IP and FTP to your Xbox (view this tutorial to FTP). Once you are in your Xbox, navigate to your EEPROM backup and transfer it to your computer.
  
• Step 4: OPTIONAL: If you don�t have FTP access, then click COPY EEPROM TO MU. This will back up your EEPROM to your memory card (MU = MEMORY UNIT).
  
• Step 5: Click Basic Installation
  
• Step 6: PERSONAL PREFERENCE: I suggest using UNLEASHX (UX) for this step since its more user friendly for beginners. Once you become more advanced, I suggest moving over to EvolutionX (EvoX) since you can customize it more.
  
• 
  
• Step 7: After choosing one of the dashboards stated above, you will get a message asking to PROCEED. Please, if you didn�t verify your current MS Dashboard BEFORE you started this softmod process, please restart your Xbox and check to see what your dashboard is. If you know for sure its MS 5960, the proceed.
  
• Step 8: It�s going to go through screens, read them to know what is going on and keep proceeding. All that�s going on is the installer is checking to make sure it can move it without running into errors. Once everything is present, it will begin softmodding your Xbox.
  
• Step 9: Once it is done modifying your Xbox, you will get a message saying to turn off your Xbox or press OK. Press OK. Once it is shut off, press the EJECT button to get your game out.
  
• Step 10: You will get a screen that says PRESS A. Press it. Read the message that comes up and click ok.
  
• Step 11: Once it is done making the Shadow C, you will be a completion message. Read each message that comes up after you click OK.
  

Your Xbox will then restart and you now have a MODIFIED XBOX! Congrats!

 

 

 

Get On Xbox LIVE!

(2 ways: coldboot and dual boot)

 

First, make sure that you have your network settings setup right. Usually people are on an automatic IP, so change your IP setting to DHCP (aka automatic IP). You can find this setting in your MODDED DASH, go to settings, and look for a network setting, in there you will see a setting for your IP.

 

There are 2 ways for you to get on Xbox LIVE! The first and highly recommended way is to cold boot:

 

Cold Boot

• 1. Put your game disc in the Drive.
  
• 2. Turn your Xbox off
  
• 3. Press the power button to turn your Xbox on while the game is still in the drive
  

This should make it so you do not boot to your modified bios therefore allowing you to get on Xbox LIVE! The second way is to set up a dual boot system. Do not do this if you are wanting to do the part of the tutorial to enable yourself to create gamertags.

 

Dual Boot (XBL Compatible)

• 1. Reload your linux installer (go back into your game to load it)
  
• 2. Select Multiboot
  
• 3. Choose �Dual Retail�.
  

Now, when you want to go on Live, press the Eject (larger) button. When the dash loads, check to see if the LED is green. If it�s green, you are good to go. Put the game in and you can now play on live.

 

Create Xbox LIVE! gamertags

• 1. Go to Apps
  
• 2. Go to Krayzie Extras
  
• 3. Go to Dual Boot
  
• 4. Choose Dual Boot LiveDash
  

Now when you hit your EJECT button to turn your Xbox on, that should lead you to your Live dash which should give you the option to create new gamertags.

I really do like this guide, but is there any way to mod my Xbox without an AR? Because, I can't find no ARs where I live.

You buy them from http://codejunkies.com/. If they aren't in production any more you would need to try ebay or a site like that.

I can go through a whole match with super speed without getting booted. Just did it this weekend. I was running off a hotswapped xbox live modded disc though.
