  1. it was easy in the respects that l just pressed what l was told when l was told to lol. however l had trouble verifying the CPU key with the program, but l guess that means l have to do that by Lan? l tried to do it by wireless, that said l had a backup of the key anyways but l had to use dashlaunch to grab another copy of the key (just to verify the one l had on system matched the xbox). that said it would be nice for a faq on all the options and what some of the things mean, being somewhat techy when it comes to the computer side of things it would be interesting to know some of the technical things some of the other options l didnt use meant tho its more curiosity than the need to know. one thing that would be interesting would be a mailing list l could sign up to so l know when the program is updated still, again much appreciated for all the work.
  2. another interesting bit of info, many thanks for clearing that up Swizzy and thanks for making the program as well after actually doing it (albeit slowly making sure l didnt mess things up) it was easier than expected).
  3. l got bored and decided to try flashing my nand, and l think lve managed it without any trouble including installing the avatars usinf XeBuild FSD reports my dash is version 2.0.16767.0 now (previous according to FDS was 2.0.16547.0). lm assuming that when l new dash comes out l just go over to microsoft download the dash file then pop it into the files folder on xeBuild then follow the readme instructions again? or does the person who makes the program just update xebuild every time with the relevant updates meaning it would be easier just to download xeBuild again?
  4. well l guess l'll just play it by ear, tho tbh my last dash update was around march going by the date on the files l have backed up on system, so l may leave it until l find a game that doesnt work until l update my dash, tho l will likely need to do my avatars, weill wait on getting the new controller to do that as currently my current wired one doesnt stay connected due to a break in the cable.
  5. the one thing that confuses me about the tutorial is that it mentions nothing about using the download dash version files or does that just happen automatically? the same with the 1bkey thing or is that something l dont need to touch? tbh, considering lve only just got the xbox working again l dont want to mess anything up, and should l mess up l'll definitely loose the xbox :/ after all lm no modder lol.
  6. lve downloaded the latest version, is there an up to date simple tutorial on how to use it? and create the relevant files, because the one l linked to doesnt include information on sorting avatars etc.
  7. lm just refreshing up as the last time l did my nand ld downloaded a very useful file (which took me all day to find :/ but pretty much did everything automatically) but anywho l get the general premise of this tutorial. basically l downloaded this: http://www.xpgamesaves.com/topic/81690-tutupdate-your-rgh-jtag-to-dash-16547-in-1-2-minutes-no-flash-drive-or-file-transfers-needed/ (l believe) it basically had pretty much everything set automatically to go and l just ran a *.bat file which ran the commands. however should l need to update my nand again is there any way it can be done automatically with a trusted program that will actually run? l think l did try jrunner but back when l tried it, it was complaining about my system being 64bit. suffice to say l just want to be careful as lm still not comfortable updating my nand and was hoping there was something that could make it simpler by allowing me to do it without getting overly technical as to be quite honest l have no clue how to sort out the files especially seeing as it would be useful to know how to both install avatars and the dash at the same time.
  8. guess it wasnt what l thought it was lol, just ran it on the drive and its showing as good, tho annoyingly l decided to try it out on my PC and see what my drives were up to and lve got 2 cautions on different drives :/
  9. actually my console is a phat, that said the few times since l got the bits to sort things out to have the drive externally l had not received any E79 errors, tho before they were sort of sporadically turning up. still theres no reason l cant test the drive with what you recommended to see if that picks up something the WD tool didnt. l'll run a few short tests before l go to bed then run longer ones later.
  10. hmm, that might limit me on large games, got pish all space on the 64gb thumb drive.. that said technically l might be able to use the other HD as an external memory unit. long story short lve just finished testing the 320gb drive that was originally connected to the xbox.. lve spent a good 4 hours on it, grabbed the Western digital tool (Data Life Guard Diagnostic tool) and ran the quick and extended tests in full and both gave me passing grades on the drive. suffice to say lm going to pop it in the external caddy lve still got a backup of both dashes (seems l had to clear the data dir on each drive lve copied the files to) which means l could use the SSD for things like DLC content etc especially if its as large as the Skyrim DLCs. either way its useful to know, the only question is where the problem is considering the drive passed both short and extended tests, hopefully it wont affect me again since lm going to try use the drive externally.
  11. THANKYOU!!! l deleted everything within the fsd directory and lm finally into the dash without problem. this leaves me with one question, lm going to be adding an external drive in a usb caddy in addition to the usb drive will there be issues if they are both treated as normal usb devices? or should l just stick to having 1 usb device attatched at one time while the rest are either memory/usb memory units as lm going to be using a usb hub as well which l know works (its passive and powered so if l need extra power l have it), the main reason l ask is because l assume game saves have to go on a UsbMu or xbox formatted drive (not sure if its the same for TU updates) otherwise lm slightly pushed for space until lve tested and seen if the old 320gb drive has problems or not.
  12. that helped! (sort of) l popped fsd (which l copied from the hdd where it was originally installed) onto a thumb drive formatted as fat32 it finally tried to load the dash!!! tho it crashed as it tried to load LOL could this be down to the fact its not a new installation and just copied from the old hard drive which may have problems, planning on running it through seatools or something to see if the drive was failing and maybe run it as a external if it is now. this is the settings l made to the launch.ini is there anything l can do to get it to load and not crash that l might have missed? tho l guess l could reinstall fsd, lve taken a quick gander but can someone link me to a readme on how to or rather where to inject fsd so l can use the nxe to install fsd if its going to be easier than just trying to get my older installation working? also which version would be best to install as lve seen a few differnt version in the fsd forum.
  13. well it worked before l changed the drive to a usb memory stick.. as previously mentioned l was getting E79 errors from the drive in fact ld gotten a few in a row last time l tried booting. strangely tho, l tried the drive again as l was having trouble finding the right setting in the launch.ini and so l tried putting in the old drive and managed to get FSD up but when l updated the usb thumb drive with the label it was under on fsd which seemed to be UsbMu0 (or at least thats where the files l copied to the thumb drive are located. fyi this is my launch.ini contents: but destpite fsd saying the drive is under that l can get it to sporatically work from the hdd, tho the reason lm trying to get it to run from a thumb drive is just in case there is a hardware issue l can get around if its not the drive (as lm planning on running intensive tests on it once lve freed it up, that way l can use it externally and have more games space. in fact would it mess things up if l opened up fsd using the hdd loaded dashlaunch and pointed it to the usb thumb drive or would it still try and put a launch.ini on the hdd but just point to the installation l copied to the thumb drive? because l want to do away with the hdd if that makes sense.
  14. tried the setting but didnt make any difference.
  15. basically lm having issues getting the dash working again. long story short l had issues (E79 error) with my old hard drive, l havent had it since its been removed and lve decided to install the dash to a thumb drive (and have games on an external. l managed to copy off all the content on my old xbox hard drive and decided to copy the dash over as well everything seems to of copied over fine (gamesaves etc are loading fine on the basic xbox dash), however lve had problems trying to point the launch.ini.. lve tried it manually but cant seem to find the right setting lve tried the following usb0 and LUsb1/2 but l still get the basic dash, l also tried running the fsd disk but it wont seem to load so l was wondering if there were other ways to get dashlaunch running or if there are any settings lm missing in order to get my xbox running again.
