OK, just tried the new BETA of Xdash Utilities v1.0.11
I used a fresh and fully tested original M$ dash and a fresh set of files from the xboxdashdata.1012a700 folder
I customized the "SubMenu" names and added a couple of apps and one game.
Pushed the "Build Menu" button, browsed to the xboxdashdata.1012a700 folder, got a confirmation of successful edit and a popup to find WinXIP.exe
Loaded up WinXIP and pushed the "Resign Dashboard". Browsed to the mint retail dash and loaded up all XIP's by browsing to the xboxdashdata.1012a700 folder. Got success confirmation.
Verified that several files in xboxdashdata.1012a700 did get modified and that the "xboxdash.xbe" file changed as well.
All seemed OK. FTP'd the entire xboxdashdata.1012a700 to xbox along with the freshly signed "xboxdash.xbe" in the root of C:
Rebooted and guess what? Xbox reboots itself as it tries to load the M$ Dash.
Even went as far as to load a fresh mint X2 4977 bios, totally unmoded. Got Error 21
Any Ideas?
Also, is there any way to automate the signing of the M$ dash? Manually selecting and loading XIP's is a real pain! I loved that the previous version used PixIt and did it instantly!
