Mechinstaller-Phoenix

[RomertL]

this mechinstaller seemed really easy to use, but, beeing very neewbie, I got stuck very early. I successfully made the first steps, so I can now transfer files to the xbox and from the xbox to my pc (with flashfxp). But when I opened the readme.htm I got the message "your xbox doesn't seeme to be connected" right away. I seem to be the only one with this problem. Anybody know what I did wrong?

Nothing to worry about... It isn't an issue, it's just a simple check to see if u have Mechinstaller-Phoenix installed and running. If the exploit is actually installed and running and u still get that error, then your network settings for the PC are incorrect or u changed the password.

I have done exactly as catfish said in one of the early posts. installing the fonts manually. all i get is a black screen and then nothing happens. I burned a boot disc with evox as catfish said and it boots. anyone got any idea why it won't boot without the boot disc?. i have signed the bios loader with the habibi key and tried all the locations; E:\phoenix\ etc...
help?

And the settings and bios for the phoenix loader is also correct, it works with the audio exploit.

Adolf, are u saying that the fonts will load a home-made DVD but will not show the dashboard otherwise?
If so, that's the "no-boot" issue. Try ejecting the tray once or twice and see what happens.

[Adolf]

No, what i mean is that i have made a cd-r with evox and a xbe called catfish.xbe , and that it boots alright when it's in. but otherwise it doesnt boot the bios loader, thats the problem, without the bootdisc it doesnt boot. sorry if i were unclear in my last post, but I usually don't speak or use english.

Hope you understand what i mean

I will try the fix you mentioned, And if you would like to know, it just reboots. and it isnt the clock loop.

The fix didn't work. i tried making a boot disc with the bios loader and the same error, It's becouse of the phoenix bios loader xbe. any ideas?

[catfish]

OK, could u tell me your dashboard and kernel versions?
Was the audio exploit the one from my installer?

[Adolf]

The audio exploit was the one posted at x-s in a mime format. the new stable swapless one that runs E:\exploit

for my versios i believe this is correct:
Kernel: 5101
Dashboard: 4920

I didn't use your installer since i don't have the game

[catfish]

make sure to use these fonts:

copy E:\exploit to E:\default.xbe and see what happens.

[Adolf]

tried it, it just reboots as it did before.
it should be the habibi key right?

got any new ideas?

[catfish]

Don't let it reboot. Power off it goes to reboot and then power on with the eject button.
If that fails after 5-10 times, let it reboot 10 times without doing anything.

[Adolf]

is it supposed to go inta the dashboard and replace the live tab or just boot phoenix immedietly?

what would happen if I dont have an xbe to be run, will it just run msdash then?

[catfish]

The hacked Mechinstaler fonts replace the Live tab with "Phoenix".
Selecting the Phoenix tab will attempt to run E:\default.xbe, E:\Hakurs\default.xbe or E:\Phoenix\default.xbe.

Yes, they run habibi signed XBE's.

[Adolf]

But my doesnt even boot into the dash

[catfish]

Well u asked what it was supposed to do.
What is the xboxdashdata directory's trailing numbers?
And give me a filelist of the fonts and their sizes that are in C:\fonts.
