I will show you how to patch the grey avatar and also fix kinect not working.
Step 1:
First you have to find what is your dash.
Press your guide button on your controller.
Go to 'Settings', Scroll down to 'System Settings' then hit .
In top right corner you will see the dashboard in this format:
2.0.XXXXX.0 - Where X- is your dashboard number (code).
This tutorial is for dash 16203 (latest dash) if you don't have the latest dash please first read the tutorial.
Step 2:
Now you have to download the official M$ system update.
This link will directly download the latest dashboard (currently 16203):
Now if you need a lower update just enter you update code (XXXX)
Like this:
Step 3:
Now extract your $Systemupdate to root of your USB (I recommend 512MB+).
Step 4:
Rename $Systemupdate to $$ystemupdate
Step 5:
Turn off your console then put your USB inside and power it on.
Step 6:
You will get a message for the update. Accept
Press Yes and update.
This is one type of message, here is another:
Now this one is not safe to update, because this is a complete update that alters bootloaders and it will also burn eFUSEs.
Step 6:
Wait for the update to finish.
The console will reboot once the update has installed successfully and you should now see Avatars and have Kinect installed.
Q&A:
Update message won't show up?
Make sure that:
If all fails you have a SysExt folder. Enable File Manager Advance Mode (In General Settings) and delete the folder.
Helpful tip:
Boot the console to NXE/Metro (hold RB after powering the console on) and THEN insert the USB stick, the update prompt shows up.
I don't have a kinect:
This update is not kinect or avatar only, it will work if you have both or one of them.

Q&A:
Update message won't show up?
Make sure that:
- The update folder is named correctly.
- The system update you are applying matches the JTAG/RGH dashboard/kernel version your console is currently running (see Step 1).
- You inserted the USB stick before booting the console (FSD can block the system update).
If all fails you have a SysExt folder. Enable File Manager Advance Mode (In General Settings) and delete the folder.
