Basically it comes down to this. Error 16 has to do with not
finding the menu setting with which you can set the clock of the hdd.
This happens to a lot of people that erase their hdd
(original/upgraded) or MS dashboard files and after that they don't
immediatly install the hdd but leave the xbox without power longer than
5 hours.
It's all about the hdd can't find the menu with which it can set
the clock. This is mostly because the xbox hdd is empty (you removed
dashboard or fux0red it via ftp). The problem arises when xbox searches
for menu to set clock with, can't find it and voila: error 16. Well
read on please!
So you have an error 16 huh? Don't worry "nothing" is broken!
You have an xbox hdd that is locked. And normally you can boot in
original and modded mode. Retail or upgraded doesn't matter. You start
playing around with xboxdash.xbe etc. using ftp programs. While doing
this you "accidently" remove your MS dashboard and also your alternate
dashboard (Evox, etc.) so there is no dash anymore on the xbox hdd.
You end the ftp session and after that you shut off your xbox.
Normally when you would start up again it gives you an error 13/14 ( no
dashboard found). No worries with a slayer Evox cd (and a hardmod), all
is ok. BUT this is only WITHIN 3 hours or so.
This is because the internal clock of the xbox will only be kept
alive by the capacitors for only 3 or 4 hours. So when you leave your
xbox unplugged from electricity for over 5 hours after you have played
with the .xbe's AND you have removed your (ms and evo-x) dash from your
xbox than you are fux0red. Why do you ask?
Why can't I boot from disc?
Its as follows Xbox starts booting==> (almost 1st thing a xbox
does is) searches for internal clock==> doesnt find internal clock
because there hasn't been any electricity on the xbox for 5 hours so
battery that kept clock alive is empty and clock is gone==> searches
for the proper dashboard menu to set clock with ==> doesnt find
msdashboard or evo-x dashboard menu becuz you have removed it from the
hdd for whatever reasons you had==> xbox gives error 16: cannot set
clock.
So what do you do about it? Two options!
1. There are some bios'es around that allow the chip to boot past
the clocksetting. (do a search!). So how do you get that bios on your
chip because you cant boot to a flash program or something? Well you
need to have an external flasher.
It seems the m8 bios will take care for you of booting past the clocksetting. Or use the latest Xecutor bios
2. This is the more easy and newbie friendly strategy
-Get a friend with a modded xbox.
-Unlock his hdd with eeprom management from a slayer evo-x cd.
-Than, place his hdd in your xbox.
-Boot with your chip on.
-Now the xbox DOES find a dashboard when you boot in original mode and you can set the time in the msdashboard clock settings.
-Shut off xbox and remove your friends hdd
-PLace his hdd back in his xbox and lock it again
-Install your hdd
-(clock has been set) So boot up with slayer cd.
-Install normally whatever you wanna install
-lock hdd
Did I miss the part where she said this was a modded xbox?
I'd sell it for parts to someone that can mod them, and look for a cheap one online. Even the stores sell them for 60-80 bucks currently.
Game Crazy, Game Stop....etc etc.
The error 16 is not a big deal to someone who can fix them, but if you don't have a mod chip or know someone who can mod them it's probably more work than you want to get into. There are plenty of tools out there to mod xboxes, some prefer Evox or HDDmaker, some prefer Exox to UnleashX.
What exactly are you going to do with this problem? I am curious to know where this is going.

Sound but no video could be caused by a loose or faulty Audio Video Cable. Try another cable first if one is available. Make sure the cables are connected correctly and firmly. If all else fails then you will need to have the Xbox 360 professionally repaired. The tools required are not something that most people have lying around the house ( BGA Rework Station) so i'd stay away from those rip off "guides'. My company can help you out, we offer free shipping as well. Check us out here: GATpro Repair
Error 65: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot.
Flashing red: 1.the av cable cannot be detected Make sure that the AV cable is correctly connected to the Xbox 360 console. Disconnect the AV cable from the Xbox 360 console, and then reconnect the AV cable to the Xbox 360 console. If the four flashing red lights continue to flash, try wiping the metal area of the AV pack with a dry cloth. The metal area is the end that plugs into the console. Wipe the metal area thoroughly, and then try the AV Pack again. If the AV cable is correctly connected but the four red lights are still flashing, substitute a different AV cable if you have one available. 2.general hardware failure Try restarting the console. If restarting the console does not resolve the behavior, follow these steps: Turn the console off. Unplug all the power and AV cables from the console. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Firmly reconnect all the cables. Turn on the console. If these steps do not resolve the behavior, turn the console off, remove the hard drive, and then turn on the console. If the 3x Red LED error light is no longer displayed, turn the console off, re-attach the hard drive, and then turn on the console. Also examine the lights on the power supply. When you turn on the console, the power supply light should illuminate green even if the three lights on the RoL flash red.
The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing. Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button. The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below). Release the eject button and press it again. The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code. Release the eject button and press it again. The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code. Release the eject button and press it again. The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code. Release the eject button and press it again. The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights. You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.
Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number: All four lights flashing - 0 One light flashing - 1 Two Lights flashing - 2 Three lights flashing - 3
0001 power supply problem 0002 Network Interface problem 0003 Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console isn't getting clean power from the power supply. 0010 over heating 0011 over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsync screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes. 0012 over heating 0013 over heating 0021 DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard. 0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating
I would check your video connections. If it is dark behind your TV, use a flashlight and make sure all of the audio and video connections are correct. Make sure the connections are firmly in place for your XBox and TV for the audio/video cable. Also, be sure to be on the right video setting on your TV (Video 1, Video 2, etc.).
Dear sir; This error code means "scannor memory" problem, don't worry, we can reset it, the procedure as follow;
1, make sure you are in copy mode , then press "p", "*", "clear", "*".
2, enter 16 press start.
3, press "CA" to end simulation.
that's easy, if you need more help, just let me know, good luck.
HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY !!!
chek if your ethernet cable fine or your wirless connection isnt that cood easily be the problem but other wise just run an intial set up a few times it shood work...
Make sure the cables are firmly attached, and locked into place in both ethernet ports, both on the router and the Xbox. I get this issue sometimes and it's annoying... i know ^^

If you get an error 13 after this, please read up on the error 13 explanation! 13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.
The error it gives is because of the incompatibility between the
(older) dashboard (4920) that older slayer cd installs and the new
dashboard/kernel versions found in some new xbox's and found in xbox's
that have been connected to xbox live (when you go on xbox-live, it'll
upgrade your dashboard file to i believe it is now 5659.03. This
dasboard is incompatible with the dash that (old) slayer cd installs
(for example 2.5 or lower) for you.
(In detail, in the eeprom chip there is a kernel which is incompatible with the dashboard (4920) that slayer installs.)
So what do you do to fix it? You can use the dashupdate found on
most new xbox games! Be sure to 1st unplug your ethernet cable before
you do so!!!
Besides that, just use a good installation disc and all is fine. Use a 2.6 slayer or something similar
12 - kernel - DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)
Same as #10, only not very common. 10 - kernel - DVD timeout
Actually its almost the same as error 6/7/8. But also make sure the
yellow cables are properly connected to the motherboard and the dvd
drive.
1. Make sure ide cables are connected good.
2. Make sure the yellow cables are good and properly connected.
3. Still no succes? Try another dvd drive of which you are sure it is working. 6 - kernel - Cannot unlock HDD
If you understand the above, you should be able to understand what
this means. It means you are trying to boot up the xbox with an
harddisk that is locked in combination with ANOTHER motherboard than
you are using it with right now.
What can i do about it, you ask? Well place the harddisk back in
the xbox where it came from. After that, UNLOCK the harddisk with the
same procedure i explained above (see error 5). Now when the harddisk
is UNLOCKED, put it in the xbox which gave you the error. Now when you
boot up with the chip ON it should not give you an error anymore.
However when you put the xbox on with the chip OFF your xbox will
give you an error. (error 5) So to make sure you can boot original and
boot with the chip ON. Next do the same as above: "Boot up your xbox
with the chip on. Preferrably with a slayer evo-x cd. Now you choose
"Eeprom management." Than you choose: "Lock hdd." It takes one second.
After its ready it should say something like "Done"
When it is ready just turn off your xbox. Disable your chip and try to boot original. Now there should be no more error.
7 - kernel - HDD timeout
Most of the times, the IDE cable is not properly connected when you
see this error. Please reattach the ide cable. Not only to the harddisk
drive but also to the dvd drive. ALso try to reconnect the ide cable to
the motherboard.
Press pretty hard so it goes all the way in. Make sure it is seated
straight and proper in the drives and the motherboard. If you still
have an error 7. Try another ide cable. If that won't work try another
harddisk. If there is still no go, try to set the jumpers on the
rearside of the harddisk drive. Set it to master or cable select. 8 - kernel - No HDD found
Please make sure your xbox hdd is attached properly. Most of the
times the Ide cable came loose, or isn't seated properly in the IDE
port of your harddisk. ALso make sure the power supply cables are
intact and working.
Make sure the ide cable is also connected properly to the rest of the hardware (dvd and motherboard).
Make sure that the AV cable is correctly connected to the
Xbox 360
console.
Disconnect the AV cable from the Xbox 360 console, and then
reconnect the AV cable to the Xbox 360 console.
If the four flashing red lights continue to flash, try wiping
the metal area of the AV pack with a dry cloth. The metal area is the
end that plugs into the console. Wipe the metal area thoroughly, and
then try the AV Pack again.
If the AV cable is correctly connected but the four red
lights are still flashing, substitute a different AV cable if you have
one available.
