Hey, is it safe to update your xbox to the newest version using the USB method ?
I can't connect my xbox to the internet for some reason, so i want to update offline so i can play skyrim ~
Is this method safe to use ? it will not connect online, right ?

Copy to a USB flash drive

If you cannot connect your Xbox 360 console to the Internet, you can copy the console update from your computer to a USB flash drive and then install it on the console.

Note The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 file system.

1.Plug your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.
2.Download the update file.
3.Click Save to save the console update .zip file on your computer.
4.Unzip the file. If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, double-click the .zip file to unzip it.
5.Copy the contents of the .zip file to the root directory of your flash drive.
6.Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer.
7.Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console.
8.Restart the console.
9.When the console restarts, the installation program starts automatically. Select Yes when you are prompted to update the new console software.

I do have an original copy of skyrim , the console needs to be updated in order to play it .

then when you pop in the disc it will auto update your console. so why need usb?

i try it before and it works

no worries man

Like what andrewcha said, pop in the disc and it will ask you to update from there if necessary, you don't need to online.

hehe, thanks , just updating from skyrim sorry for this, btw, how to get the newest dashboard ? USB method ?

just give it a try, anything that works for others works

As long as your console is legit, usb or wifi/lan will work no matter what. Just don't turn off the console while its updating.

u can use the usb method it's fine i have done it before....

USB is fine since that's what I do every time. Updating online is slow as crap. Downloading directly from MS website is way faster.
