Hacking Is upgrading (size) a RGH 360 HDD a simple case of copying the files?

[MrPockets151]

@DinohScene , I think, has a tutorial with pictures. that may be more prudent.

BTW thanks a million

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.

 

[godreborn]

that's the latest, so no real reason to reflash.

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.

Rename the update folder from $systemupdate to $$ystemupdate
That should do the trick when it comes to updating hardware hacked machines for avatar files.

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.

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

 

[godreborn]

no, go to microsoft's website on the pc, put the $SystemUpdate folder on a usb, then plug it into the system.

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?

 

[godreborn]

no, it should identify the folder by just plugging in the usb stick.

Xbox dash under storage says it's not a valid format system. Follwing the MS instructions it said to format the usb as NTSF

 

[godreborn]

think it's supposed to be fat32. don't format it on the xbox either.

From MS "Most USB flash drives come formatted as FAT32 and will have to be reformatted to NTFS."

 

[MrPockets151]

Going to try FAT32
