extract-xiso VS Xbox-Softmodding-Tool

Using the tool: extract-xiso

Download Extract-Xiso , the download option will be on the right side of the screen under “stable release” and extract it somewhere (same folder as your Xbox roms is recommended).

You can download it from the megathread and use extract-xiso to convertit (extract-xiso -r game.iso).

I use extract-xiso: https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso

"Mod only" requires you to hexedit your games. This page has a list of hex codes to search for and then the string that you'll replace them with. To perform this, you'll need to extract the iso into a game folder, and then you'll edit the default.xbe file in the root folder. I used extract-xiso and extract-xiso-gui to do this. Drag and drop your iso onto the extract-xiso exe. One you've done your hexedits (I recommend HxD), then you can use the gui to click "create iso" and then select a folder. You can actually do all of this with just extract-xiso, but I was lazy and didn't feel like punching in dos commands to rebuild all my isos.

The second method is connecting the new hard drive to your computer and using a program like FATXplorer 3.0 beta , Explorer 360 or XBoxHDM to set up your new hard drive. Personally, I think this method is easier but not a lot of people use it and there are no videos on how to do it. The closest guide I could find is here: https://www.hazeno.com/og-xbox-hdd-2tb-and-under. However, this guide is for a hard modded Xbox. For a softmod, instead of using the C: drive files the guide suggests, you would use the C: drive files from Rocky5's softmodding tool. This way you are putting the softmod tool files directly onto the new hard drive. You can get the C: drive files by going to the softmodding tool at Github and selecting Download Prebuilt versions -> Installer variants -> XBhdm Build.zip

The softmod tool that is recommended is Rocky5's softmodding tool https://github.com/Rocky5/Xbox-Softmodding-Tool. There's many tutorials on Youtube you can watch to help you such as this one https://youtu.be/iV8B6eZVkBM, you can also read more about it here https://www.consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:Hotswapping but I recommend the video as it will help a lot.

If the Insignia tool still won't launch after that (or if no update triggers), then I'd suggest nuking the save and loading in Rocky5's softmodding tool instead. Once that's done you'll be able to install and run the Insignia set up tool through the new menu system that sets up for you. If for some reason you want to revert back to stock afterwards, use Rocky5's Extras disc to do so.

It either needs to be modchipped, like u/Nucken_futz_ said, or you need to softmod the system and then use an application like Chimp 261812 to clone the hard drive and swap them over.

We're talking about Rocky5's tool, yeah?
