Severian X 1 Posted November 29, 2015 Hey Swizzy "One of these days i should probably write a tool that'll let you check the update in a 360 iso without extracting it..." we spoke about this a few weeks back I was wondering if you now happen to know if Madden16 has 17349 or 17489 on disc OR if you know of ANY release that has the 17349 on the disc for certain Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Severian X 1 Posted November 29, 2015 because 17349 is proven 100% safe and I figure I will never need further update since xbox360 titles are few and far between and soon will be no more I have and LT 3.0 setup not a jtag or RGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lolz, I tried to give him the same advice in an earlier post. Maybe it wasn't clear. My misunderstanding, makes more sense now. You could always just install the sysupdate from gxarena and then if you still get prompts you know if it has a newer one, lolz. edit: Looks like Xbox backup creator/Xbox Image Browser might let you grab just the file off your backup. Seems like a lot of work just to check the sys update on the disc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Severian X 1 Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks but... I have always updated by disc I don't like messing around with new methods I am pretty sure MAdeen16 must have 17349 but I'd like to be 100% I am surprised how hard it's been find an answer to my question I hope you do develop that tool you spoke of Swizzy Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuattroGam3r 508 Posted November 29, 2015 It's not really a new method, updating by USB has been around "officially" for a long time. Check the official Xbox website http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/system/system-updates-info?icid=furl_update. The only difference is that GXArena has all the updates, while M$ only gives you the newest update available. Like Swizzy said, it's the same file that would be on a disc. I just used this method the other day to fix a retail console that was stuck on a failed update to 12625. Worked like a charm 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuattroGam3r 508 Posted November 29, 2015 I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but if anyone does get that update loop "System Update Stopped", the error message will contain a 24 digit error code broken into 6 - 4 digit codes. Take the second set of 4 digits and convert from hex to decimal and it will give you the dash version you must use to complete the update... Just sayin [emoji57] 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuattroGam3r 508 Posted November 29, 2015 Very nice! Didn't even know about that. To quote a Batman line, "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" lolz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
