Upgrade a Jtagged Xbox 360's hard drive, restore the avatars and Xbox 1 emulator

Does it matter if its a SATA, SATA 2, or SATA 3? I'm thinking about putting a clear HDD case with a bigger HD on my Jtag.

 

Read the entire forum and got my answer on the SATA2. I would be curious if anyone knows anything new on the SATA3?

 

Great TUT Just what i needed

 

Hey insane nutter can I upgrade to a 3.5 inch 2TB because my older brother knows welding and soldering ,so he can increase the encloser's size . Will it format on 14699 Jtag Jasper 256mb

 

Format problem

Hi,I'm fairly new to the scene. I've had an RGH'd falcon for a few months now and have filled the internal hard drive. I read the guide and bought myself a 500Gb laptop drive to replace the old internal drive.

My problem is when I press A to format the drive in NXE, my console doesn't do anything. It stays on the same screen and doesn't ask for my serial number.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks
Si

 

im about to do the backwards compat part on my 360 so i can play an def jam fight for ny on my rgh..my question is after i do this an it erases an replaces my compat folders...all my 360 games on my hdd will still work also yeah?? sorry if its stupid q but i have to ask

 

ok the baackwards compat didnt work for me neway ive tried 2games n both wont start:/
so my next question is about changing the hard-drive to a 1tb after its installed and formatted..what then?? do i have to re-create all the folders that were on my oringinal hdd an also wont i have to reinstall xex-menu again aswell or will the 360 automaticlly do all this????????

 

You will have to re install everything again, if you read the tutorial it explains how to copy files on to the hard drive by running XEX Menu from a CD.

You can also copy XEX Menu to the Content\0000000000000000 folder from the CD and it will then run from the hard drive.

 

well i have read the tutorial several times...there must be sumthing wrong wit my screen bcos the first mention of xex menu on the tutorial im reading is for backwards compat hack and even then it says "you should see xex menu" and nothin about running it from a cd.............

dont get me wrong i tink this tut is great an im glad insane nutter toke the time to explain it in full and step by step i was confused as to how i was gonna install xex menu onto a blank hard drive but now i see your saying i can run it from a cd.... will it then let me start creating folders? and also is there anything important that i cant forget to put back on the hdd or isit just my games,DLC and xbla

 

also jus to be sure...i dont actually run the 13599 update do i?.. i jus power down again straight away an when i boot up again my avatars wil be restored??

 

Well, I plugged a Seagate 1TB Hard Drive, and it formatted with the console itself, nice. 926 GB free.

Can I skip the part with the partition stuff? I mean, is it only for people who want to add a partition for an old xbox 1 emulator, or is it mandatory?

Because when I insert the usb stick with the dash update (latest = 14719, which is the same dash version that is on my console... and oh, I'm using a RGH hacked M$ dash, by the way) for restoring the avatars, nothing happens. I mean, if I go to "storage" the console sees that the USB stick is inserted, but it's like a regular usb stick with some space occupied by the systrem update. And it's normal, right? I mean, why would the console use the USB stick to make an update to a dash that's already in the console? Sorry, but it doesn't make any sense. How will this restore the avatars that are (probably) present on the old Hard Drive, under "system items" ("marketplace system data", "rights database" and "video bookmark data"), my case, for example...

Any help would be appreciated.

 

It's fine now... I missed renaming the folder to "$$ystemupdate" Sorry about that. The default .rar comes labled "$systemupdate", which won't work on RGH consoles.

By proper job you mean "installing" the partition for xbox emulator? Well, I probably won't play those games anyway, so why bother?

No, avatar data is not stored where you mentioned. Here's what I got from a friend in another forum:

 

I have an xbox 360 s with 4 gb flash memory that has been RGH'd so instead of putting it in a enclosure, I can just put the hard drive in my 360, right?

 

For the update part, When I boot up my 360 with the fat 32usb plugged in and when I get prompted to update, do i press update(will I even get prompted to get updated, because I havent tried yet)
