I have 2 xenon jtags both running 14699 with latest freestyle dash and dashlaunch. 1st one has stock 20gb internal and a 320gb external and everything works great including mw3 on the external. I gave it away for a christmas present. the 2nd one has no external hdd and i replaced the internal 20gb with a internal 320bg. everything works fine but mw3. all the other games work fine and mw3 either starts and crashs on first screen and sais disc is dirty or crashes before that on just a black screen and sais to redownload the game.

Not completely sure these two issues have a connection or not. But apparently there is a problem with a larger amount of original mw3 discs. Lots of people get disc errors even tho they are running on "virgin" xbox'es. Even if they install it to harddrive they still grt this problem. Maybe this is related to your problem? Seeing as it seems you only got this problem with mw3.

I was applying the TU through FSD, at some point like number 3 or 4 I started getting some disk error. I removed the updates and it was fine.

Wait what? If you install it to usb it works flawless? Wonder why it acts up like that. Seems so random. My lady's nephew got this exact problem with his mw3. Well alteast if you look at the unplayable part. He got a "virgin" box and original disc. Replaced the disc once. I will talk to him tomorrow and have him use a usb instead of internal and see what happens. If that helps him then i have no idea whats causing it xD
