ok i just recently got my xbox reset set glitch hacked and have no clue about a lot of the things, but i know i have to update to 14899, i believe, to get my kinect working. where can i get this update, ive looked at some previous posts that show a link to download it but then the website has taken it down, and i know i cant go to microsoft since they have the new update on their website. after someone helps me with the the update issue, please tell me how to install it, in the most detail possible. THANK YOU!

I assume by 14899 you meant 14699?

You simply need to run the official update from USB - here's how:

Download this, extract the $SystemUpdate folder to the root of a FAT32 USB stick and rename the folder to $$ystemUpdate, connect the USB to your console and boot it up.

If you did everything correctly, you should get a prompt, simply accept the update, let it complete and you should be good to go :).

ok you are awesome but i have already downloaded two files from that exact website and get this error "You already have more than 2 downloads processing.. Stop being greedy!" so i am currently unable to download it from that website. and this might sound stupid, but how do you extract the root folder? im asking because i want to do it the correct way first, and my major lack of knowledge.

the single kinect update or the new 27xxx or whatever update that will mess up the rgh? whatever they have on their website, to my knowledge wont work because it will mess the rgh up. please correct me if im wrong anybody.

i got an e71 error last time then rebooted the console without the flash drive and it was updated, should i boot the console with both the kinect and flash drive in at the same time? or should i plug the flash drive in after the console boots and open the .xex file through file manger?

so i finally got it to boot, my xbox has problems booting, especially when i want it to, its all in my other thread, but when i got it up it said the kinect needed to be updated, i booted the xbox, with my fat 32 usb drive in, and the kinect.
