This is what I believe happened... I think my little brothers friend selected the wrong option in avalaunch, and screwed over my xbox. I think there is either no dashboard working on my xbox right now , or only the microsoft one, and its messing up. Every time I turn on my xbox, it goes straight into an xbox live auto update (i don't have xbox live, never have, and so its not hooked up) so the auto update never works, and simply tells you to try again later. But when you press ok, it tries again, only to fail again. Because of this, i'm unable to enter my dashboard, if its even still there. I called microsoft xbox technical support, but didn't tell them it was softmodded. Though I bought it second-hand, and the warranty recently expired, they offered to replace it for free anyways. However, I'm afriad they'll find out about the softmodding, plus, even if I got my replacement, I'd now have 30 burned games that I can't use, no more emulators and tons of games, and I don't know how to softmod it again myself (I know there are numerous guides, but I just don't think I could do it) Though my xbox always goes into the auto update when you turn it on, real games will still boot up and work. I just want it back the way it was.
So, my question is this: is there any way to reinstall evoX through autoinstaller or any other means, without having access to the regular microsoft dashboard, or any dashboard for that matter? Or is it safe to say it's 'toast?' I'd appreciate any advice.

Yes, it is very possible. Can your xbox still run burned games? If it can you should use AID 3.0 and you can reinstall the dashboard back up. _________________ Moddingbandit

Do you mean real games(original)? I think you need to hotswap but your box will be back to retail. _________________ XBOX V1.4

sorry, I'll clarify: yes it will play 'real,' original games, but not burned games. So I guess Aid 3.0 is out. But I'm not familiar with hotswap, what is it?

Thanks, I'll try that. Then I only have to worry about softmodding it again. If anyone else has any other ideas, I'd be open as I won't get a chance to try to hotswap them til at least this weekend.
