    Question Xbox 360 dash update

    I need help with my sons unit. I've downloaded the latest dash and want to put to put it onto the system via usb or cd/dvd. I've tried many times without succsess. The unit doesn't go online and we currently don't have any new games to update with. Cheers, Min.

    You dont need to be online to update via USB....d/l the update, put it in the root dir of usb stick, plug in usb port of 360, turn on 360, it should pick up the update & run it....if its not recognized maybe try another USB stick.....have done many with the above procedure

    Yep

    Some USB sticks can be fussy.
    Had to go through about 2-3 with the latest update to get it to work.

    Just keep in mind if he has a modded console, the latest update will flash the drive back to stock firmware so it will need to be reflashed.

    If you have downloaded it then don't worry about this.... might be worth a read.

    Thank for the reply and advice mate. I don`t have another usb but I might try my usb hdd that i have on my sat box. Do you think that`ll work?
    Also thanks for the advice about the firmware. I didn`t know that they went back to stock after dash upgrade.

    Much appreciated.

    What are the recommended brands to get? and what to stay away from?

    Any and all advice appreciated.

    The update really does nothing beneficial (if you are not using live) than flash the firmware of the drive to stock, no games require it.

    Id keep it on the back burner unless you have a strong desire to have it updated.

    External HDD might work.
