You could possibly hotswap in a modded dash but it's a big risk. You need to find one that works the first time or you'll have to keep hotswapping till you find one that works.

There's a bit of risk involved and it's a pain in the ass but i'm sure if you put enough effort into it you'll come out successful.

here's a couple links to get you started hotswapping

*edit*

Remember to backup the files that you overwrite, so you need to backup both the C and the E partitions.

Here's links to my cheater files, just replace your drive contents with these and it should boot avalaunch. Obviously pick one or the other, don't throw both on the same drive. Start with the 1.4, i think the 1.4 will work on the 1.5 box just as long as the dash isn't moved to e:.

Avalaunch 1.4 Cheater
Avalaunch 1.6 Cheater

lol not with this method. I've been modding xbox's since day 1 and i've modded over 100 using these files (i got sick of softmodding each one).

pretty much all you need to do is hotswap and then use xplorer360 to access the c partition, copy the partition to your computer then replace the contents. That's about it. If it doesn't work first try then you'll need to try the other set of files.

After you power down the xbox and turn it back on it should boot avalaunch. Then you can just ftp xbmc over.

I realize this is a pretty odd way to mod but i had to do nearly the same thing modding an xbox with a bad network adaptor and it all worked perfect. Just be careful while hotswapping.
