once its froze can u gain ftp access? if so rename your old xbmc folder to xbmc.old then transfer xbmc4xbox 3.3 and try that.
if you can not gain ftp access, just get a copy of an installer disc that has built in ftp and boot your xbox up with that and do it that way

hope you get it sorted

all the best

Try recovery mode (White+Y).

If that gives you FTP access, upload 3.3:

How did you install 3.3 (presumably that's the freezing build)? FTP? Overwrite or fresh folder?

Just a thought - looking at your log...

Do you have a Project Mayhem III folder in xbmc/skin?

I tried to solve the case my self.
Uploaded (via TV) a build, using correct filezilla settings.
No go..
Cleared caches, deleted TDATA and UDATA.
Still no go..
Lets be brutal: Wiped everything, HDD build from scratch with HeXEn.
Still no go.. Even with XBMC4Xbox installed from HeXEn.
x2 4983, INd-BiOS, M8+.
DVD check disabled, DVD disconnected.
HDD setted to CS.
Hard to belive, but still no go..
Only trying another HDD remain as an option.

Screwd EEPROM ? :/ Dont think so..

Once the HDD will have been eliminated as a potential source of the problem..
If anyone solve this he'll get my respect for the rest of his life :)

I rest my case. The only person that I think could help is Heimdall.

I'm stumped, I've also been attempting to help out today along with xman and we can't get to the bottom of it.
A new HDD is the only other viable option I can see to try :(
