  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Download the dashboard you want.
    Make sure that you're downloading from reputable sources so you don't end up with a virus or malware. You'll also want to ensure the dashboard you download is compatible with your version of UnleashX and Xbox.
    • Popular dashboards include:
      • XBMC4Gamers
      • EvolutionX
      • XBMC
      • FSD (Freestyle Dash)
      • Kodi.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Extract the files.
    You'll need to use a program like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract zipped files that aren't in .zip format. Your computer has built-in tools to unzip folders in .zip format.
    • You'll find a folder with the name of the dashboard and a file called "default.xbe."
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Connect your Xbox to your PC.
    Use an FTP like Filezilla. If you're having issues, make sure FTP is enabled on your console.
    • The default IP address for your Xbox is "192.168.0.2" and both the default username and password are "Xbox."
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Create a dashboard folder on your Xbox.
    Navigate to "E:\Dashboards" and create a new folder with the name of the dashboard you want to use, like "Kodi."
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Copy the dashboard files to your Xbox.
    Copy the "default.xbe" file from your computer to your Xbox in that folder you just created.
    • For example, if you want the Kodi dashboard, copy the "default.xbe" file into the "Kodi" folder on your Xbox. When you do that, that will now be a usable dashboard on your Xbox!
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Disconnect everything and select the new dashboard for your Xbox.
    You're done using your computer and can go to Menu > Dashboard on your Xbox to change your dashboard.
