Can't Flash To 2.3

I loaded 2.3 onto the E: drive and I keep getting a HALT! in recovery.  I used the HDD version. <

Did you pull the bin file out of the zip/rar file ?.... :D

EDIT: Also, what version is your XBox ?

Yes be sure you're using the recovery.bin file and that it is named as such... also, make sure you ftp the file over using a dashboard and not using XOS2's built in FTP.... If you have a 1.6 xbox, make sure your HDD is unlocked as well. <

I got the same problem. So, I uploaded my recovery.bin to E thru Avalaunch dash. Then, when I try the recovery mode my box flashes yellow for like a minute or 2 then it goes red.

As you suggested I tried unlocking the hdd thru the menu in xenium os. So i unlocked it, tried the Recovery mode again. Same thing... Any suggestions? <

I got mine to work by uploading it thru the avalaunch dash.  What does the screen say when you hit recovery? <

Yeah, you have a 1.6 xbox so you wont see anything on screen... Solid Red after flashing orange means the same as "Halt!" which means it couldn't find the recovery.bin. Try re-uploading the recovery.bin with the dash.. and relock/unlock your hdd again just to be sure it's unlocked. Also ensure you're putting the recovery.bin on E:/ And make sure it's named "recovery.bin". If it still doesn't work you'll need to try burning a recovery ISO... :) <
