Title: Technical Difficulties...
Post by: Katana-Sama on September 12, 2003, 09:52:00 PM
Ever since the new dash came out a day or so ago I have spent at least 4 total hours trying to download it.  It keeps giving me:

"Unable to continue due to technical difficulties.  Please try again later."

At first I though, Okay, it's probably because of all the people downloading it, but I have been trying it at all times of the day and right now (1:46AM) and it still does not work.  I have a 120gb HDD installed but I don't think that's the problem.  I have a matrix installed with mode 3 enabled.  I don't know what's wrong, all my friends have downloaded it in at most 2 tries.  Can someone tell me if they're having the same problem or know how to fix this.  Thanks for reading, peace.

You seem to be having problems with your network settings. Are you running EvolutionX?

I suggest turning your Matrix to mode 2 (modchip off) and trying again. I think there might be a conflict among the settings.

I don't know if that's the problem because I can play on xbox live, been playing SoF2 when I wasn't trying to download the update.

I am having the same problem.

I wonder if there is something hardware wise that we all share in common.

I have the X2 lite chip turned off
Running Evolution X
WD 100 GB hdd

I also just ftp'd into the box to look at the files sitting on the C drive.  Does anybody it would be worth while to compare the files there?

I can still connect to Live, have been play ESPN football over the past couple days, so I don't think it has much to do with the network settings, but i would be willing to try pretty much anything to resolve this now.

I ftped into my box and looked at the new files.  They have .du behind the filename.  The new dash only got to 1.84megs then it quits.  I really don't know what to do, but I'm going to call M$ today and complain.  If anyone else wants to do the same and see if they get results, please do so, it might help.  That's all I got to say, if I find anything else out, I'll post it.

Okay, i just reinstalled my old factory HDD, took everything that wasn't supposed to be there off of it and tried to download the update.  First I got the xbox live service is unavailable, then I tried again and I got the same error that I've gotten for the past few days.  So I really don't know what's going on since I used a "virgin" drive basically and it still messed up.  I even plugged the ethernet cable directly into the modem but still no luck.  I'm going to call M$ in a little bit to see if I can get this crap fixed.

Same problem here and I have NO IDEA what is causing it. 120gig locked hd, evox, matrix in mode 1 as of now (disabled).  I went over to me friends and totally cleared my C: and still no luck.  Im going to delete all the files it has tried to update then clear my cache and some other stuff.   I 'll let u guys know how it goes.

Nice, I'm not BIG on Halo, but in SoF2, the clan I'm in a very good.  I'm not fuckin' awesome or anything, but when we play as a team we dominate everyone.

What version did you upgrade to
I upgraded this morning, and it still doesn't work - even though this latest version says "added support for MS Xbox" - not endorsed by MS

Bump....

Has anyone been able to get past this error (if they have seen it)?  I have tried all sorts of things to get the update to download, but no dice.  Please help, if you can....

Just so you all know, I have had no problems with updating my live to 2.0.  I have a 120gb hd in it and an x2pro.  So, it's not a hardware issue....  as for routers, I got one that specifically said it supported xbox live and i have never had a problem with it.  

I know this offers no help, but atleast wanted to say peeps have had success...

BTW, I am in Detroit - only about 500 miles from Lousiville, we should all get together just for the hell of it

I have tried plugging the xbox directly into the cable modem, but that didn't help either, so I am really at a loss as to what the problem could be.

Title: Technical Difficulties...
Post by: BlaZeR2 on September 25, 2003, 03:34:00 AM
Well, thanks for the comment, but I know that to be very very untrue.

I can still play on live just fine.  I have gotten live 2.0 installed and working, and none of my X,Y,Z codes start with 6.  So i can't be banned.

But thanks

Hey, I've been getting the same problem.  I have a 120 gig maxtor diamondplus hd locked, and an executer 2.2 lite chip.  I keep getting the technical difficulties and i have a d-link 604 router (has worked on live for a long time).  I live in Ohio.  I will see what I can find.

I have the same problem and if u ask me, i think MS shud put out an update disk that updates ur dash for u instead of having to dl it off there site....... or put the dash update in all the new xbox live games coming out along with those 2 month trial subscriptions.............

Could someone upload working files then? I'm having the same problem too.
Title: Technical Difficulties...
Post by: BraveBen on October 15, 2003, 06:27:00 PM
Bump. Anybody got the files?
Title: Technical Difficulties...
Post by: BlaZeR2 on October 15, 2003, 06:35:00 PM
The files are rather large.   They total around 172 mb.  

here are the folders you need:  (and all contents)

Audio
Fonts
Xboxdashdata.17e4cd00
xodash

here are the root files you need:

xbox.xtf
xbox book.xtf
xboxdash.xbe

The above folders and files are the ones used  for the initial live 1.7 (or whatever it was considered).  Once you get them, you will be able to download the latest and greatest with no problems.

Best bet is probably to find a friend that lives close that can burn to a disk or will let you ftp to get.  

Hope that helps

Aww man. Guess I'm out of luck. Nobody around here has a xbox with a mod chip that I can ftp into. The only way I can get it is if someone posts it somewhere.

But could someone be kind enough to send me the files? We could meet up on some program like direct connect or something.
Title: Technical Difficulties...
Post by: BraveBen on October 18, 2003, 10:28:00 AM
Or could someone post the files on a newsgroup?
