RGH Updating RGH'd XBOX 360 for Kinect

[draftzero]

I went to xbox.com/update, downloaded the 14719 update, installed the file on USB (fat32) and put it the xbox, turned it on and the damn thing won't update.

I've tried using folders:
$systemupdate
$SystemUpdate
$$ystemupdate

and it still doesn't work.

Any thoughts/help?

Formatted USB using XBOX 360 at 256.
Placed unzipped file from xbox.com/update into USB.
Was named $systemupdate

Is the file you downloaded a zip/rar file that needs extracting

 

[tonyjandc]

daftdog good idea but if he put it on usb and renamed it three times he must of un zipped it

what dash are you on at mo. ?

 

[draftzero]

Yes it was a zip file and I extracted the contents to the USB.. guess should have made that clear.

Use Dash Launch 2.32
Edit Your launch.ini !

noupdater = false

& download USB Format( from the attachments) and format to FAT32 ...
and try with Extracted Folder(No Rename required if noupdater set to false)

Hope this helps !

Formatting the USB right now.

is your kinect plugged in as well silly question i know but if its not plugged in you wont need any further updates as the box is upto date . My friend did the same plugged his kinect in said it needed update so he downloaded it unplugged kinect stuck his usb stick in and wondered why it wouldnt update

 

[jant90]

Nah, it must be something else as $$ystemUpdate is not working for him either, and that should just work with noupdater set to true.

I would format the USB drive using the Xbox 360 so you're sure it can be read (in settings > storage). Just select the smallest option (prolly 256MB or something) and you'll have plenty of space left for the update and you're sure the USB stick can be read by the Xbox 360 and is formatted correctly as FAT32.

Also you can enable hidden folders and files in windows and delete the hidden XBOX360 so you're sure that the USB stick is completely empty when putting the update folder on.

The update you rename to $$ystemupdate should be the same version as your dash

Besides what AMIT already told you should work

I would like to format it again ,if it work on 360 once then it work again & again !

 

[jant90]

Not if he formats it in NTFS ofc. That's why I would use the Xbox 360 to format it, you can be sure it's correctly formatted as fat32 .

Disconnect Kinect and try to update .

Again ,did you done what i told you ?

 

[daftdog198]

Just to clarify.
You did download the correct update that is for installing from a usb stick and not one of the others that is for cd etc.
Have you tried redownloading it just incase its a bad download

If he formatted to NTFS then it doesn't shown in Xbox 360 Dash ,Clear ?

Formatted using the USB tool you gave me, no go.

Formatting using 360 at 256 MB and it worked. woot.

Now that I updated, it restarted and it just hangs...?

Nevermind, just took a bit.

 

[daftdog198]

Have you removed the usb stick from the console.
If it still hangs keep your finger on the sync button while you power on and keep the sync button pressed until the console has booted.
This should clear any failed updates
