You can jump to the latest OS, you do not have to do it in order, and so long as you have already backed up your eeprom and don't use the reset to factory defaults recover.bin you will be fine.

Still got problems with my 1.6 version and cant' update to new OS (neither HD, ISO). Recorvery.bin on E: on CD and ISO version, tried everything ..(HD unlocked of course). Also with 'recovery switch' on the xenium 'on'.

Result: Xbox flashes orange endless...(not even changes to 'red').

I have a similar problem...

I am trying to upgrade a friends Xbox. He has a 1.6 (crystal) and Xenium ICE.
I did the install...initially everything was great.
The problem I think started when I had the unit off for more than 3 hours (I didn't think it was this long)...anyway, I could boot into XBMC, etc... no problem...What was a problem however was that I could not boot into MSdash (05 error). I realized I had not locked the hard drive. Did than, rebooted to MSdash and then error 13...Since I had just copied from one of my old Xbox hard drive's I thought I might have screwed up the msdash on that hard drive (which I had done I believe)....anyway...this is when the problems started...
I tried slayers msdash re-install and it seemed to work but I ended up with the same problem. Therfore, silly me, I decided to update the xenium OS.

I tried this in recovery mode (switch on Xenium set to show the black mark) but it just makes the LED on the Xenium go red and the LED on the power button flashes yellow. I put in the burnt ISO recovery file (XeniumOS_2.3.0.iso) but the dvd reader in the xbox reads it but does nothing with it....

Above someone said that if you have a 1.6b the recovery mode will not work...is this true???  They had xenium test OS 2 when I originally had it working...I have another Xbox (1.1 version)...should I try it in this Xbox as someone else has suggested (I would rather not as I would have to modify stuff to make the white Xenium work!)...

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Update:
I checked my clock and reset it but it made no difference...
With the chip in, it just boots up to a green led on both the xenium and the eject button (initially the xenium changes colour...)
Then I just have a blank screen...any ideas?

Thanks,

The "recovery" screen for 1.6 Xbox's won't show up..it will show as a blank screen. Just have the Recovery disk/rocovery file on E:\ when in recovery mode and let it update. Let it go for as many minutes as it takes until it powers down.

Nice, thanks for the guide, couldn't figure out why the update wasn't working on a customer's 1.6, your guide was the first place I saw that stated the HDD needed to be unlocked.  Thanks!

Well what you can do is open the Xbox up and switch the recovery switch to "On" and use the CDRW/DVD-R method to update the OS successfully.
