If you enable auto sign in, it keeps working even when the dashupdate has run. For some reason, you can still vieuw the xbl welcome screen (and insert a retail game) when only the *.du folders exist!

Didn't you also find that's only the case when there's zero free space on C (absolutely no bytes) at the time dashupdate runs though?

With the method I described above (that definitely works and doesn't have any such pre-requisites) the retail and softmod boots both continue to work after dashupdate has run...

I "discovered" that setup without FTP, so AFAIK it also works if you have less then 1 MB free. I'll test it some more then.

I would agree, changing the xboxdashdata folder name is a great solution for dashupdates, but it causes an extra obstacle for running the live console.

The check preformed on xb0xdash.xbe/xnoxdash.xbe would fail, meaning we cant just change paths but will need to remove the check altogether. I know i cant so thats why i didn't want to edit the 5960 xboxdash.xbe after realizing the possibility of live console access via post by you and krayzie.

yesterday, I was playing OXM November demo disk . When I launched XBL arcade demo, it updated xboxdash but what interesting is that it deleted xboxdashdata.17cdc100 folder in C:\..  blink.gif  blink.gif

kingroach, did the dash update fail?

Also, what does `xbedump dashupdate.xbe -dc` display for it?

oh last time C drive wasnt full..

 Ndure retail setup+ xboxdash 5960 +xboxdashdata.17cdc100 folder( 86KB left). When I launch XBL Arcade, dashupdate launch it creates fonts.du, xboxdashdat.du and then update fails.. Ndure installation is intact.

I copied xboxdashdata.185ead00 folder and I chnaged msxboxdash.xbe to xbxodash.xbe and XBL arcade didnt ask fro update, then I copied ndure xboxdash.xbe in C:\ and changed xboxdash.xbe to msxboxdash.xbe and then  XBL tried to update.. seems like having ndure xboxdash.xbe triggers update.

the xbedump -dc doesnt show anything special.. just shows game region CAN/USA and version 185ead00 and certificate 0x1ec

Yep, if dashupdate.xbe runs to completion its tidy-up phase includes deletion of the xboxdashdata.17cdc100 directory.

However, with an Ndure setup {: correctly implemented, ahem :} it doesn't get that far, at least for all the dashupdate.xbe's I've tested so far.

Yep, dashupdate.xbe's check the certificate version of both the xonlinedash.xbe and the xboxdash.xbe ... if either is less than its own then it runs.

Btw, what certificate date does that November OXM dashupdate.xbe have and what's its byte size?

Hence, the retail boot and softmod boot both survive current dashupdate.xbe's, for both of these new setup options:
