    softmodded xbox booted back to ms dash, how do i switch back?

    Tried booting with power button pressed but didn't work. I took a look inside and no hardware modchip, in HD files there is a mechwarrior and SID save so definitely softmodded. Will get mechwarrior or splintercell/007/etc to try rerunning the SID file. We'll give it a try this weekend.

    Tried holding power, but it looks like a softmod. I do see SID installer on HD. Will get a game which will help me reboot softmod, splinter cell looks like best option.

    Got the video back! Booted with eject button but it still goes to MS dashboard.

    I don't think I'll let this one die just yet. The thermal paste on chips breaks down over a few years. Some new paste should put a bit of life back in this old dog, and if not I'll bury it in the garden :-)

    Looks like the xbox is dying, video just failed. I'll need to open it up and re-glue the chips. We'll just have to see will it come back from the dead.

    Looks like the softmod may have failed, if so does anyone have any recovery advice?

    No luck rebooting, it keeps reverting to MS dash. Also unplugged as cmos battery no longer holds a charge, but always it boots back to MS dash.

    I got an old original xbox which was running xbmc. I must have turned it on with the CD tray open and it has reverted back to the Microsoft dashboard. How do I switch back to xbmc? I know it is softmodded because the labels underneath are intact so it hasn't been opened. I don't know however...
