yeap, just got a red dot, its broken.

long story short:
i got to update my RGHed xbox so that I could use my kinect, in that process I lost the dashlaunch and the freestyle, so i decided to try to get those back on.
i got to install xex menu and when i tried to copy dashlaunch again i did not only fail to do so but i also erased the dash.xex file in the flash of my xbox (it doesnt have a HD).

as soon as i restarted the xbox i got the initial animation but then... red dot of death.
i know the problem is that file that's missing but I have no idea now to get back in the flash and put it back on... if I happed to have a dash.xex.

Is there a way to reset my xbox so that I could re-update it or something?

Hope you can help. thanks a lot!

I'm sorry man, I don't even know what Xell is... I guess that's why I ruined it!
Hope you can guide me.

U don't know what xell is then it gunna be hard work from here. Lol.
Power on your Xbox by pressing eject button only. If it boots to a blue screen with xell reloaded, then that's xell.

I know! I'm sorry.
I did try to learn as much as possible in these past couple of days.

I did what you said and it did boot with Xell's blue screen, now I have a red screen though, kinda scary, I could

Xell, Halt or Reboot.

Thanks for helping me!

If you have a copy of the hacked nand put it onto a flash drive (named updflash.bin), pop it into one of the usb ports and power the machine with eject. On the odd occasion you do get the stack dump red screen - lets hope xell will recognise the flash and rewrite the previous hacked nand.

Hi!
Thanks for the help.
I tried that and it didn't really do much.
I also tried other few things and it seems that mine is MMC so it cannot be fixed with other than hardware tools.
I'm doomed!

Thanks for that! I'm kinda far away, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I thought that missing a file (even though I take is like the command.com) would be fixable by software. I guess it's not!
