s it safe now to update the latest dash ? my 360 is moded and don't want to get ban.
or should i download the update file and update it via USB drive ?

recently i god COD MW 2 backup disk and it ask me for an update. after pressing YES it shows an update in progress and reboots the console. then again it ask for an update and keeps rebooting my 360.

what to do ?

I believe this issue is fixed by clearing your cache from your storage unit. If you are using the NXE dashboard, go to Console Settings > Memory > Select Your Device > Clear Cache. If you are using the pre-NXE dashboard you have to go to your Console Settings > Memory > Select Your Device > Press Y for Options > Press X, X, LB, RB, X, X on Controller > Press 'A' to Confirm System Maintenance.

thank u for u'r kind reply 'dharrison'. i'm using the the NXE and will give it a try like u said.

btw...i have downloaded the System Update Fall 09. should update my dashboard ? will it harm anything ?

you not on live are you?
when you pop online you might just get ban........you might of been flagged....run val2.0 and enter what it say's just to see if your clean...just for your information...

no i'm not on LIVE. just downloaded the fall 09 update and want update via USB stick. later i want to go LIVE only to update the video codecs. so is it it safe to apply the fall 09 update ? and what u mean by runing val2.0

If you don't care about any of these new exploits or running a patched kernel, then you are safe to update whenever you can. Updating from USB is 100% safer than getting the update from LIVE, as it installs it offline. Therefore, Microsoft cannot detect you and your console will be updated.

now i have updated my current dash but there is now one problem. now the console cannot read GTA 4 (backup) disk other than that it can read other backup disks.

hey guys i just read your post and have to questions and you seem like you would be the ones to ask first how do you update you 360 from a usb and where do you download the update from i wanna be able to watch mp4 videos on it and second if i update it will that unmod it so i cant play back ups thanks for your help

And no, it will not unmod your system at all.

ok thank you so much and oh awsome cuz i had to pay someone to flash it but thank you and is there a certin update i should get

The update from Microsoft's website is the most recent (8955). If you want a previous version there are other websites on the web that offer updates from the past. Just search 'XBOX 360 dashboard updates' on Google to find them.

ok i updated it thank you but it still dont play mp4s so shold i find a update that does

Maybe your MP4 needs re-encoded? Are you burning them to discs or are you trying to stream them?

yea i am trying that now with encodeHD but im doing it from usb on mym psp cuz wmv videos work but mp4 wont and all my movies are mp4

ok i encoded it and it didnt work it may be the program do you know any good encoding programs

I didn't see if you had a modded xbox or not, if this is not modded...you can log into live to download the codec for mp4 files. If it's modded, that's a different story.

So hopefully you have one that is not banned from live, then it's as easy as trying to play the file....asking to update in live and updating.

-D

yea i have a modded 360 and i just found out its banned which is ok cuz i just wanna play back ups offline anyway so its all good but i still cant figure it out is there a way to do it offline

nice info...

ok so i been searching for like 3 days on how to make it work and i can never find out all i want to do is be able to watch movies i download on my 360 so does anyone know how to do this or where to get .wmv movies at thank you

good then by now you know you can't do it once ban....now time to convert videos so they stream to the 360
good example is tversity....there's a few ways...if it really that important to you ....
just do a search...
Peace!

yea i know there is not a way well now i know but so how does that work can i put my movies on a flash drive and play them or do i need to have a pc to do it thanks
