it's not very hard to do, but I can see how it could make someone nervous if they've never done it. personally, I don't think you should reflash the nand. just check what dash kernel you have and install the official update of that same kernel. make sure it's the same. it will install avatar, media, kinect, and xbox original data on to the new hdd.

BTW when I did the RGH I was already on Dash 17559.

I'll try your Avatar tutorial....think that's what I need. Aurora I can always just do a fresh install. Dashlaunch and XEXmenu still work fine it's just Aurora . Acting like my grey out avatar.

iirc, the only important file from an update is the su file. it's around 11-12MBs I believe. that's what's patched to allow jtag/rgh. I've built my own update in the past using xebuild gui, and it did in fact work.

Rename the update folder from $systemupdate to $$ystemupdate
That should do the trick when it comes to updating hardware hacked machines for avatar files.
I don't see $systemupdate ....

that's the name given to the folder that contains the system update to get your avatar stuff back. download it from microsoft's website, then put it on usb. it will even detect if the system is already on. if you're blocking updates, rename $SystemUpdate to $$ystemUpdate.

I should be able to see that folder than in my old HDD then right ? Instead of downloading from MS

I see the files now on MS site...
just put the $SystemUpdate folder on a usb drive, preferably one with nothing on it or one that's small. see if you get a notification. it will install files to the hdd, including avatar stuff. if you get no notification, try renaming it to $$ystemUpdate . that's how dashlaunch blocks updates, it renames what it looks for, but that will force the update to be found.

Press and hold the Pair button (located on the left side of the console) and the Eject button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button  on the console.

Only way?

    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.

    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.

    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

    Exactly.

    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
