I had the same exact problem. Spent 6 hours messing with it. What a pain.

SOLUTION:

**and this is the only solution, as I tried EVERYTHING else possible.

delete all the C files

get an original dashboard, unmodified, un-LIVEd, from elsewhere. Slayer's, a friend, somewhere. Do not use your original backup you have. Put it on your xbox and boot up like a factory install. Get a LIVE updated game (I used Splinter Cell) and update the dash from the game.

Now bring that dash up to your PC and apply the patches, one at a time. Blue first, then send back to the xbox and make sure it works. Baby steps gets it working.
