If you mean that you want to reinstall the original dashboard as a launchable application, that's fine. However if you mean that you want to revert the Xbox back to stock, well that's a terrible idea. Xboxes will die if they are left stock due to awful hardware and software restrictions that Microsoft put in place. You always want your Xbox modded. Specifically, hardmodded, or at least softmodded with a nulled HDD key.

I would strongly suggest upgrading the softmod on your your Xbox to Rocky5's softmod (because it's likely running some outdated, unstable softmod) and then nulling your HDD key. After that, upgrade to a bigger HDD and install all of your games to the HDD. Never play games/DVDs/etc. from the DVD drive because the lasers are old and dying.

Additionally if this Xbox is not a 1.6, remove the clock capacitor ASAP before it leaks all over the place and destroys the motherboard.

The stock BIOS is trash and will render the Xbox unusable if the DVD drive fails (not just the laser, but the actual board), or if the stock HDD fails.

These restrictions can be avoided through modding. Hardmodding removes the need for a DVD drive entirely, as well as removing the need to lock the HDD to the motherboard. Softmodding can't stop the DVD issue, but will at least partially get around the HDD issue as long as you null your HDD key.

Leaving an Xbox stock also means that you have to play games via the DVD drive, which is a very big no-no, because these lasers are old and dying left and right.
