Title: Cannot Update Dashboard Past 8955

Have you tried using a different usb port on the xbox? Also you might want to try upgrading your benq drive to the latest lt+ firmware and try the update disc after that.

You need to flash the benq back to stock. Now update the dash and finally flash the benq with the new hacked firmware.

I thought OP posted he already did that, and it didn't work.

Hello all, I have done my best to scour the Internets, and I have not come across anyone in a similar situation. I have an Xbox phat with BenQ running iXtreme 1.5 which was banned with the 8955 dash update, which was fine because I don't really care about playing online. I got busy with other things so a couple of years passed and I didn't touch the Xbox until recently, I decided to give it another go. My old backups still worked and everything.

However, I found that I cannot run the XGD3 games with this old dash, so I flashed back to the old stock BenQ using my key etc. Then I went to download the latest official system update and put it on a USB drive. Here's my problem - when I plug in the drive it says "update detected, restart now?" I click yes and it reboots the Xbox, but the screen just stays blank. I've let it sit like that for a long time and it stays black. I then tried burning the update onto a CD instead, put it in the Xbox, and restarted it - the Xbox 360 would begin to boot up and then just freeze at the Xbox 360 logo screen. Once I remove the USB or update CD, the Xbox boots back up to the dash normally. I even formatted my Xbox HDD and cleared the System Cache; it just can't seem to do updates which prevents me from playing any games made in the past couple of years. Has anyone seen a similar issue? What can I do about this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

First of all did you select the correct original stock firmware for your Benq drive? I think there are 8 revision's of stock firmware for your current dashboard. Try downloading and installing this dashboard  http://digiex.net/do...s-download.html first to see if that updates your 360. If that works then you can then try installing the latest dash.

I think you have to update it sequentially for a couple different updates. I just updated mine online and I had do at least a couple different dash updates.
