STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

Re: STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

This may be my problem right here as I never have gone through any of that when getting the roster. I download and save. I don't see the extraction wizard or the next, next, then finish part ever. When I open from the site it pulls up winrar (evaluation copy). There is no folder tasks, i have the file button, commands, tools, favorites, options, and help. Then I have buttons under those that say "add, extract to, test, view, delet, find, and wiz". I have tried the extract to and it wants to put them on my desktop, so i do that and it puts a folder named GR182008 roster on my desktop which is the udata folder. So I don't know if I am actually extracting the file or not.

1 - download the roster
2 - Save it to your desktop (for this instruction just save it to the desktop)
3 - Double click on the file you just saved

Winrar will now open and should give you a pop up asking you to purchase, click close to get rid of that pop up.

4 - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...winrarpic1.jpg
see in that pic the large icons that say ADD, EXTRACT TO, TEST.....see what im saying?

5 - Click EXTRACT TO - now a pop up box comes up and shows a destination path for your save. Make sure your saving it to the desktop (it may save to the desktop by default, if not, change it to save on the desktop to keep things simple)

6 - now you can close winwar.....goto the first post in this thread and follow johnnyg713 steps for transferring. also look at NZ Buccaneer post on this page regarding trouble with drag and drop

hope this helps

just did the same thing but got shot down because they said I don't have an Elite console.. that sux

you dont need an elite because when I gave the rep my serial # he said "is this a pro system?"

If you follow the script then there shouldnt be a problem

One thing to note was that I got someone who clearly was in another country

Thanks guys!

try this from NZ Buccaneer

360 - IF YOU CAN'T DRAG AND DROP FILES IN XPORT 1.07

I ran into this problem for the first time last night - very simple to workaround for me: go up a level (to the folder as opposed to the file level) and drag this entire folder to your desktop; check if the file needs renaming (e.g. fro *.ROSS TO *.ROS) and rename if necessary; open Xport with your HDD and drag the file across.

If this method doesn't work try going up to higher levels, or drag directly from Xport window to Xport window (have two instances running).

Couple questions here...how do you know if a file needs to be re-named? And if so what are you suppossed to re-name it to?

The second method.***nning two instances! How would I drag from the xplorer/xport window to another xplorer/xport window? Sorry but this one threw me a bit..have no idea what you mean

1. have a save already made from your game and compare its file type to the one you are trying in import (I only ran into the corrupted filenames on nba 2k8)

2. One instance opens your Hdd, the other opens an image file (.bin) obviously if you do not have an image file you cannot do this. Most of the time .z36 files (from memory cards) will convert to a .bin file. As NFL2k5 cannot use 360 memory cards this does not apply to this situation.

Re: STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

I got my cable in the mail today (from Microsoft) and followed these instructions and I was able get my updated rosters no problem. Thanks for the guide.

I did so using XP but I have a laptop with Vista so I'll probably try that later.

i followed the script to the T.. guy i got sounded Indian.. and he specifically told me i needed an Elite console, not pro..

i always have bad luck when it comes to getting deals from any kind of customer support.. gonna try faxing in the sheet.

also, the fax form specifically asks for a regular XBOX serial # , and your Elite Console Serial #

i would call back....the guy is clearly an idiot......he probably thinks u need the elite because it has the 120......what he doesnt seem to realize is people by used or new 120's on there own......

This is what i think happened....the rep probably thought you bought the Elite system used instead of just the 120 GB HD used

call back tomorrow

Re: STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

I called Microsoft on Sunday and received it Thursday. So 4 days.

Like many others in this thread, I have been unable to transfer files using Xport360 on Vista. Its odd because when I first plugged in the cable it detected my hard drive and its contents perfectly fine. Then when I tried to drag/drop, I got the circle with the slash in it. I unplugged then plugged in the cable, restarted the program, and now Xport doesnt even detect my hard drive at all. I'll let you know if I am able to find a solution.

Edit: Found a solution..posted later in this thread.

This is great, now how about a sticky for XBOX 1, tried to play 2k5 online and apparently the game is played underwater online on 360.

Re: STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO GET LATEST ROSTERS ON 360

i bolded the steps that were different in case anyone else has the same problem i had (note, this wont solve the drag issue with vista which btw wouldnt work for me either, lucky i have another pc with XP)

EDIT....

After downloading puja's latest franchise, I realized that I left out a step. I wasn't sure how to edit my original post, so I'm reposting it as a reply, with edits.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Well, after a few attempts at transferring using the Xsata, I've finally got my franchise going. As I wait for the 1st season to simulate, I thought I'd draft a relatively quick guide for those of you using the Xsata.

This comes from a few different sources: hints in these forums, a tutorial on youtube and my own trial and error.

First of all, make sure you have the latest version of the Xport 360 software. You should be able to find it at codejunkies.com.

Secondly, go into NFL 2K5 and create a franchise game save.

I used puja's latest franchise file, so here's how it worked for me.

1. Download the zip file of your choice to your PC.
2. Once the file has been downloaded, right click on the file and select
"Extract Here." This will create a new file on your desktop (or in the folder where you saved the file) entitled UDATA.
3. Open the new UDATA file, and you'll find another file titled with numbers. Using puja's file the name of the file is 53450030. (I think all new XBox NFL 2K5 files are named this, but I'm not 100% certain.)
4. Go ahead and open up that file.
5. Inside of that file, you'll find a file of type datelinfo.xbx. Go ahead and delete it, then back out of the open file so that you're now viewing the closed 53450030 file. g This is the one we're going to transfer.

Now, moving on to the Xsata...


6. Disconnect the Hard Drive from the 360 console, and connect the Xsata. Do not attach the Xsata completely to the console! It's very difficult to remove once you do this. You can attach the HDD to the Xsata, then connect the Xsata to the console without actually snapping it into place.
7. Attach the Xsata/HDD to your PC with the USB cable provided with your Xsata.
8. Turn on your 360. The edge of the Xsata should light up. Mine glows like blue smurf piss.
9. Next, open up the latest version of Xport360 that you downloaded.
10. You'll be prompted to select a Memory unit. Select your 360's hard drive.
11. On the left hand side you'll see a listing of the contents on your hard drive. On the right side you'll see available software.
12. In the left-side pane, select Partition 3 > Compatibility > XBox 1 > UDATA
13. Go back out to the folder where you saved the downloaded file. Grab, drag and drop it into the right-side pane.

Turn your 360 off, then reboot and go to your system blade > Memory > Games and see if it's there.

If it is, boot it up and load the franchise/roster. Enjoy!!
