Sounds like your nearly there then, if he created a update.bin file for you and you have updated your "xell" and have the official update from xbox.com then this will have sorted your avatars and stuff like that. xell = to dump the cpu key and dvd key and view the fusesets to build a hacked freeboot image, A Xenon Linux loader, it allows you to glitch the machine and run images etc. Dashlaunch, this runs before FSD when you power on the machine and you can change all matter of things in here, like what happens when you switch the machine on, you can make FSD load, there's loads of options in there that you can play with. it stops the machine from connecting to "live", taking updates etc. but will allow cover downloading if you have it set up correctly. There's lots of things that you can do in the settings of "dashlaunch" and it's always a good idea to keep it updated. You can set "paths" on booting, or holding down particular buttons etc. all depending on what you want your machine to do. There's also "behavior" "network" "timers" "plugins" for you to play with. just remember that when you change an option to save the "launch.ini" file on the HDD are your settings won't take place when the machine is started. (Launch.ini is a small text file that tells the xbox to do certain stuff) FSD speaks for it's self, it's an awesome piece of programming as you know so hats of to the team don't know where we'd be without the guys that made it... So back to your question, if you have updated your "xell" which by the sounds of it you have and your on 16537 dash then do you know how to FTP into the machine.? it's easy, run FSD or xex menu and then log into the ip address, use something like flashFXP (an FTP program for your PC) log into your machine and you'll see your hard drives etc. Then simply download the new FSD and dashlaunch and unzip them if they are zipped and copy them over to the respectful folders and then run xex menu and locate the folders and run the default xex within dashlaunch so for example, copy over the new "dashlaunch" and then run it and follow the onscreen prompts. There's also an "autoinstaller" I don't have a disk drive in my machine you see so I've always used FTP. here for example is my jtag.

you don't want it connecting to the internet, it'll be blocked in "Dashlaunch" and also under security settings or parental, it should be blocked from creating a live account and also connecting to "live" how ever with these settings then you can still use link.JQE360 to play with other people online (as long as the games have system link then you'll be good to go) and download your covers and stuff. As for updating then there's an awesome automatic updater that will do it all for you, created by the team here, awesome work Or if you like then you can update the machine the old way. have a read of this if you have your nand and CPU key http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/2205-xebuild-108-update-tutorial/page-12 Once you have updated your xell to 16537 dashboard, then you can run xex menu, this is just so you can get the IP address, then what I do is connect using an FTP program something like "flashfxp" then I copy over the new FSD and also dashlaunch, and then run the xex of dashlaunch and follow the on screen prompts. Once you have this all updated then you can install the official system update by renaming the update to $$ystemUpdate and putting it in the machine when it's switched on, after you have updated your xell of course, the official system update will then sort your avatars out. Few ways for you to do it mate. If you enable "beta" updates in FSD then i think it would then let you know that there's an update out for FSD and download and install. So there's three stages to your upgrade. xell, FSD and Dashlaunch. Give us a shout if you need a hand were all here to help and you'll be up and running with your new dash in no time. Cheers
