Unlock your banned xbox360 (install to hard disk and use it as media center extender)

Sorry for not writing a lot lately but I don’t have time.

So here it is, the solution to almost of your problems with your banned xbox360! A very simple way to unblock the hard disk and use your xbox360 for whatever thing you’d like, EXCEPT for xbox live.

The solution came from microsoft itself and it’s actually a dashboard update, so you can be sure it works (I tested it myself and it works like a charm!). And one more thing, after updating you will be able to use your usb sticks as memory for your xbox. It will support up to 2 * 16gb usb sticks.

So, what to do? It’s easy:

1. download the update
2. extract the content into the root of your usb stick (or burn a dvd dl) – do not modify the directory tree, just copy the content into the root (it should be a map called something like $SystemUpdate)
3. restart your console
4. you should get a popup asking if you want to update, click yes
5. wait a couple of seconds and your console should reboot
6. that’s it!

This is it, six simple steps to using your console once more!

Remember: you still won’t have access to XBOX LIVE!

    Yes! You are the freaking man! This is so awesome! I was so stressed when my HDD got blocked. Most of the cutscenes played like crap and all the solutions were stuff like taking out the drive and hacking and stuff. You are amazing!
