Xbox froze during upgrading
#1
So my xbox froze while I was transfeering a new xbmc to the apps folder. I had already deleted the old xbmc so now I cant get the xbox to go further then the green xbox star. Guessing I need some kind of boot disk to gain ftp access and complete the transfer? But where and what should I use?
please help me.

What happens when the console gets to the large XBOX splash screen? Does the Microsoft logo turn up underneath?

How is/was this console modded? Hardmod? Softmod?

Have you tried a boot disc? Try to find a copy of the old Slayers disc, or Auto Installer Deluxe. They should boot off disc, and provide ftp access.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

So I downloaded a slayers evox 2,7 and burnt the ISO with nero to an philips cd-r.
Put it in the xbox and rebooted but nothing hapened.
I can start the xbox normaly (non chipped) bu the eject button, but unsure if that wil help any.
The dash used is xbmc so the xbox has always booted diretly to xbmc after splash screen.


Edit.
Sorry, I see I need a dvd-r. Im trying this now.

Congratulations, NEVER overwrite running XBMC!

Try Recovery Mode, see if you can get access to the FTP and upload a new XBMC in.

Next time you might consider using T3CH Upgrader script, that installs a new XBMC next to your current one, so you can try it first...

I did use the updater but I failed to switch to the new automatucly, do decided to try manualy. Worked before, but this time it froze. Am ftp in back xbmc as I speak by slayers cd. Its extremely slow, but Il wait and see.
It wasent me who orginaly installed this xbox, but I think I might have gotten the slayers 2.6 in it. Since I currently only use xbmc, is there any reason to update to 2.7? And if so, is there a safe way to do it without deleting my install?

There's no reason to install your Slayers CD to your HDD. It's a rescue/installer disc - "installing" it is like cloning a copy of an Office installer disc onto a PC's HDD. Updating the disc involves burning a new copy, and that's it - you can do whatever you like with the old one.
