SweetInsanity 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Hello everyone I am new here with a few questions to ask I purchased an XBOX 360 with the Freestyle 3 dashboard today and I am a total noob with this stuff. From what the seller told me, all I know is it can play copied discs, games from USB drives and games from the internal drive. Further I have no clue what is going on here Firstly, how do I update the dashboard when there is updates and where do I find these? Is there a specific way for each console? Secondly, can this console connect to the internet with the Freestyle 3 dashboard without anything messing up? I read that connecting to the internet can mess up the JTAG on some consoles. I don't know if this information is relevant to any of my questions, but the dash version is 3.0 Rev58, the kernel version is 2.0.16537.0 and the skin version is 3.0 Rev63 Thank you!!!!

Swizzy 2083 Posted June 19, 2014 You should enable Beta updates in FSD settings and update your F3... The kernel can be updated using one of the tutorials on this forum or by reading this one: http://xebuildtut.xeupd.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reason why I ask is I have no idea which mods exactly were done to this console and neither does the guy who sold it to me. I know a JTAG was done, but unsure which mod was done to allow it to play copied discs. I managed to update the dashboard though by using the F3 installer ISO image from here: http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/2090-f3-rev-775/page-12 Also, I see the console can't use it's wireless to connect to the internet, or I am just too dumb to find it My router is isolated downstairs with no cables running upstairs. I tried sharing my PC's internet with it by connecting my PC via wireless and the console to the PC via cable and it gave an IP on the console but would not download any covers or pick up title updates for games I know for a fact does have updates. I restarted the console, but got the same result Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not going to play anything newer then you are currently doing, and not having any particular issues there is no need to update If you don't have a Xbox 360 Slim (4GB Corona, a.k.a. MMC Corona) xeBuild GUI will identify pretty much all parameters for you as to what you need for it to work (however, you might need the nofcrt patch aswell which it is unable to detect at this time) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an XBOX 360S console. Unsure of it's original size as the seller did not tell me or give me packaging. When he bought it, a 320GB HDD was installed. Is updating the kernel simple? Will I be able to fix it myself should I mess it up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out my guide on how to do it manually: http://xebuildtut.xeupd.com/ and you'll see how "easy" it is to update your console yourself, as long as you take your time and READ what it says it should not f*ck up your console, however... i'd probably recommend that you go for the nofcrt patch enabled first time you try to update your console, if the DVD isn't working with games, just rebuild without it and never use that patch again with this console...
