Hi guys,
For skins download problem, could you check if your xbox doesn't have problem with Z: drive, cause downloads in general use Z: drive for temporary actions. So, skins downloads appart, do you have same problems downloading apps/homebrew or gamesaves ?
For install problem, if your bios boots only xboxdash.xbe, it seems that you don't have hacked bios. Otherwise, AnOd-X boots well on EvoX M8/M8+, so try name it as evoxdash.xbe, it should work, and copy anodx.xml file and anodxdata folder to your install directory, seems to be C: for you.
