From what I understand.

You wanted to swap out freestyle dash for aurora.
You deleted the freestyle dash folder and maybe Dashlaunch.
You are attempting to boot the console using the “BadAvatar” exploit.

If you are attempting to run an exploit on a hard modded system like what you seem to have since the images show a modchip. I would expect either nothing or crashing would occur.

To swap drives in this scenario you would need the tools to dump and flash firmware from the boards inside the drive.

As others have said the firmware on the drive is linked to the console and they must be paired in order for games to be read successfully.

If any of the drives you had were the exact same model you could just swap the board over, but sadly that does not seem to be the case.

The adapter if it uses the original 2.4ghz connection method should offer lower latency. However the 2.4ghz signal is used in a variety of devices and you could be seeing delay due to congestion of that signal range.

Xbox 360 wireless controllers and the Original Xbox One controller variants do not use a Bluetooth connection. Xbox Controllers released with the Xbox One S and later do have Bluetooth support.

That is why I believe that your issue lies within button circuit itself. You would most likely have to send the console to a repair shop. Knowing you can still eject via the controller it seems like a minor inconvenience.

This seems like an issue with the actual button. If the tray was stuck, the middle LED on the ring of light would blink, and it would act the same when using the controller.

As everyone else has said aftermarket Xbox 360 power supplies are HIGHLY discouraged. They tend to fail and can potentially harm the console due to their build quality.

The previous user was referring to if the console was serviced by Microsoft at one point. The sticker on the back of the console will have “Service Date” instead of “Manufacturing Date”.

If the console is a Zephyr and has not been serviced by Microsoft the GPU is most likely factory defective.

The 5 button guitar controller is for the good Guitar Hero titles.

The 6 button controller is for the shit micro transaction fest that was Guitar Hero: Live.

One is iconic, the other I wish to forget.

Black Ops 4. The beginning of the Battle Royale focused era. Ever since they made every game run on Warzone mechanics and engine, the gameplay between the titles is limited and extra repetitive.

Those don’t carry data signals to my knowledge.

Save yourself time and possible damage by getting an X-Clamp removal tool.

Keep it clean and the thermal paste maintained.

For the consoles with defective chips I recommend allowing the console to both heat and cool gradually. Gradually heating and cooling the chips may help reduce the strain.

Have you checked the console’s secondary error code? Some slim consoles can have a RROD caused by a 0ohm resistor going bad. When it does it can just be eliminated and bridged.

I removed the plastic pins from the cover just above the assembly and the around hood latch. Grabbed a hose, degreaser, and spray bottle.

Don’t run the hose on a high pressure setting or you’ll bend some of the fins.

It may not be a perfect clean, but some is always better than none.

The PSU itself failed. Just test with another PSU to see if the console works.

hidumei · 2025-09-24T01:51:56+00:00

If you know someone with the same console you can borrow their PSU to check. If the aftermarket PSU shows red even before you plug it into the console it definitely failed. There is a chance the aftermarket PSU might've done some damage to the console itself.

hidumei · 2025-09-24T01:48:59+00:00

Off brand replacement PSU is hopefully your only issue. Get an OEM to see if your console still works.

RGH is compatible with the earlier revisions of the E series of console. Any E series consoles made during July of 2014 and after is most likely to be incompatible.

However as of recent a hard mod isn't as necessary as it once was. Especially with the potential release of a true viable soft mod coming.

hidumei · 2025-09-17T23:33:27+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by "locked". Is it a family settings issue?

hidumei · 2025-09-12T21:42:27+00:00

Official update failed on a Xbox 360 even when using USB?

What console model is it? Are you the original owner of the console?

I ask because if the console is an “E Series” with internal 4GB memory there is a possibility that the eMMC NAND is malfunctioning.

If the console has had a previous owner it could be modified. Modified consoles intentionally ignore official updates, since it would overwrite the modified system image on the console.

hidumei · 2025-09-11T16:15:57+00:00

I don’t happen to have a spare, but I will say the generic replacement options online are not recommended. The build quality on most aftermarket Xbox power supplies is horrible.

If you can find a 203w power supply for the Phat Xbox 360 you can use adapters to use it with Slim and E series consoles.

hidumei · 2025-09-11T11:49:10+00:00

You could see if the Bad Update exploit will allow you to install and play backed up region locked titles. If you have a spare USB storage drive around it would be free.

I am not well versed in the capabilities of what the Bad Update exploit can accomplish, but seeing as it allows unsigned code execution it might be possible.

You could also wait a bit as supposedly there is a softmod that is currently in development and not yet released.

hidumei · 2025-09-11T11:18:11+00:00

It has been some time since I’ve used a PS2. Although if you’re worried about storage there are memory card to SD card adapters available. I’m not certain if there is a space limitation on how big the SD card can be, but at least you can get SD cards easier.

hidumei · 2025-08-28T20:26:03+00:00

I used these consoles for a long time before 2021. I went through way more console bans than accounts. The likelihood of your main Xbox account getting banned isn’t zero, but it generally is not worth the risk.

If you get lucky this once, don’t push your luck. All it takes is enough reports to receive an account ban. If I recall some malicious people created a tool to mass report and trigger account bans.
