I have a fat XBOX360 with custom flashed DVD firmware. When I swapped my 60GB drive drive for a 120GB (both original Xbox 360 drives), I was prompted on the new 120 GB drive to download a kinect update, but not on the 60GB drive when I put it back.
My question is two fold:

1. Will the Kinect system update affect the custom firmware on the DVD drive and -
2. Will the most current system update listed here affect the custom firmware on the DVD drive?

If yes to both, would I be able to avoid this issue by swapping out the flashed drive with a vanilla base drive (I have a second dead FAT Xbox 360) and then running the update?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy your day!
That depends on the DVD firmware you have flashed to the drive? if its LT+ 3.0 then you are fine.

Just curious I have a JTAG with Dashboard 2.0.17559.0
What is the procedure for updating so I can use my Kinect? I got an error that update required to use Kinect and my Avatars are greyed out.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I am curious about this as well as this is the procedure I saw with JTAG-RGH systems on youtube.
On Jtags you have to use the same system update as you currently have installed to restore the avatars / get Kinect working. Don't use anything newer.

Cool. Do I have to use a NAND utility to modify the update into a upflash.bin? Or can I run it from $$ystemUpdate on a FAT32 flash? BTW I am at the latest desktop on my RGH system so thank you for confirming that information.
If your Jtag is on 17559 then simply copy it to $$ystemUpdate on a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive and the console should restore the avatars / kinect data.

If its not a Jtag or RGH hacked 360 then yes you can update. Your already past the update where the DVD drives got flashed to support XGD3 games.

I'm pretty sure it's not Jtag or RGH hacked.
You should be able to just update fine then.
