I have an elite jtag xbox with the latest dash, everything works well except for the kinect. I've read that I need to update the avatars and kinect part of the new update but I cannot get the new update to load. I've manually downloaded from ms and put on cd and on usb stick but it won't automatically recognize and update. Im using xex 1.1, ive spent many hours on this already so any help is greatly appreciated.

Also I've read some people got a prompt when they put in a new kinect game into their xbox to update through the game but this has not worked for me either.

Well if you put the unzipped folder from ms on the root of a formatted usb flash drive it should show up. Make sure it is the only thing on the flash drive. Next make sure you are on the NXE dashboard when you put the flash drive in. Finally do you have dashluanch installed? It might be blocking it from opening since dash launch can block $systemupdate folders.

It won't pick up the update from the usb stick. I don't think I have dashlaunch installed, I literally just got this a week ago so im learning on the fly. Is there something that I should look for that is blocking this update? When I actually hook the kinect up is says I need an update but it just says go to ms official site it doesn't prompt me to update like some people said they have gotten.

Yes I am sure the folder is named correctly and im sure its the newest update 2.0.14699.0

It also would not load when I put it on a cd.

This sucks because my son loves the kinect.

Thanks for your help, im sure its something dumb that I'm probably missing.

Tried playing a kinect game and it does the same thing and says needs an update go to ms website.

This has now become an obsession to figure out whats stopping this update from loading

Here are shots of the file on the usb stick and the contents. I've tried it with one $ and $$systemupdate

:facepalm:

Reading helps next time - you're not the first person to make this mistake and won't be the last.

Glad we finally got there though!
