Hacking Kinect required an update - flashed 360

[TheJinKazama]

Hello,

I had my Xbox 360 flashed to play backups of my games last year. It currently plays all games including XGD3s. I'm not sure which drive I have but I recall having some difficulty playing XGD3s until they were burnt onto Verbatim disks. I recently purchased a Kinect and I have backups of Kinect Adventures and Just Dance 2014. Unfortunately the console refuses to let me use the Kinect without an update. My 360 is not online and I am aware that I can update via USB if necessary, but I am afriad to do so in case I am no longer able to boot backups because my firmware has changed.

Please advise on what I can do.

Thanks

You're fine to accept the update. Being you're playing XGD3 I can assume you're on LT3.0 or LTU firmware. I have personally accepted many updates with this firmware.

Ok I will. Is the update on the disk and has anyone else tried it with Just Dance 2014? I'm just a little concerned because it's so new. Yes I'm using LT 3.0, that rings a bell.

be warned at some point i dont remember when there was an update that reflashed the drive to stock or something i don't remeber please find out your current dash firmware number and the updates firmware then post here or do reaseach your self using the info.

That was 13599 (the last one that reflashed the drives)

 

[nasawqq]

if your dash is above that firmware then it wont be reflashed

 

[DinohScene]

No.
The only dash updates that reflashed DVD drives where 13xxx dashes.
Any dash above 13xxx is safe to update.

Considering he/she is playing XGD3, I'm sure he/she is past that point.
