Bricked xbox 360

[0kr1ft]

hello so i ordered a xbox 360 s last week and i tried to install dash launch and it shut off. now every time i try to boot it will stay green for abt a minute then it will go to the red dot of death..
i used the badupdate exploit so that i could use a usb. and also it is a 4gb model.
(also i backed up the nand)

And there's your issue right there "i tried to install dash launch, i used the badupdate exploit"

Basically you now have to do hardware mods to flash your untouched NAND back on the console.
Its specifically in the instructions to not install dashlaunch as it will brick your console.

@DinohScene I know you're the person to talk to when it comes to Xbox 360 modding and you would be able to give better explanations as to why installing dashlaunch using Badupdate bricked the console.

so there is no other way to fix it? (without opening up the console)

On the freemyxe app, it says not to install anything that modifies NAND. Perhaps Ryan aka GrimDoomer should update the information on the Bad Update github page to also warn against NAND modification,

ironically I think the only way to fix it right now is to RGH3 it, since if you flash your image, it will run the files that been patched.
