I had a 360 here that had a parental control on it. when I contacted Microsoft to have it removed they said they didn't support the Fat Xbox 360 at all, (they still support the slim and E for same issue) to just get a new Xbox. they care about people...
This is one reason why Microsoft shouldn't go with proprietary storage. Literally just make the hard drive or SSD accessible to your average person without needing to use custom storage flashing tools that rely on third-party Windows software.
You can open the box where is the HDD in 360 to put HDD ... On One, just dissassemble it and you can put SSD or HDD ... I made it on my One X and work well
@@nykraftlemagnifique Here's the thing, that voids the warranty on the console. Replacing the drive on the PS4 shouldn't void the warranty. For the Xbox 360, you need to use an adapter and use a tool to image the drive in a way where it can be recognized. The PS3 and PS4 has it to where all you need is a USB flash drive and the hard drive.
And even if they went with that by now, they could have came out with an adapter where you can put a regular SSD in and still plug it in the back of your Xbox. Something because the prices have not gone down
As a person who repair these consoles, the most frustrating part of Xbox updates is the Preview program, if your console's drive fails you can't have it fixed until a firmware is more recent than the beta version. This doesn't surprise me the least.
My Xbox One (the 1st big brick) console is in the preview program. After I got me the Series X, I tried to start it once, but it didn't launch. So I research a bit and found some posts and videos how to solve the issue, apparently by holding the eject and power button if I remember correctly, but it didn't work for me and haven't tried it again, it's over a year ago. Only thing left would be a factory reset. Are you aware of this and do you know something that could help?
Hi 👋 I’m curious, my Xbox one s won’t update & I remember getting a message saying my cache is full. I’m wondering if I should try to hold down the power button to shut it down & unplug everything 🤔 do you know if doing this is a good idea & will it erase any data or current updates?
@@ro-landocalrissian4633 Xbox always backs everything onmto the cloud so I wouldn't worry losing stuff if you know your xbox live account credentials. when you're starting to get errors HDD is most likely on its way out. it's easy to replace though, just insert a new drive and puit OSU1 file form Microsoft's website onto a flash drive and boot it up. you can test your drive with crystal disk info.

This has been happening for years; worked for a AAA publisher back in 2018, and any older Xbox test kits that missed a few firmware updates would get caught in this same loop - incapable of completing updates, and would have even less functionality after a factory reset. All needed to be returned to MS. Ironically happened to a family member of mine last year, ended up trading it in to credit and buying a Series S. All cases were OG VCR Xbox Ones.
I had this happen to me in April! I don't remember how I got out of it but I got mine to finally update. It sat off for about 6 months and when I went to use it it was not having fun hahaha.
Worst case scenario: this is a hardware issue. I used to fix Xbox One X consoles and the most of the (admittedly small number of) consoles had the same issue. The internal combination SATA power/data cable that Microsoft used was trash and would just randomly corrupt portions of transferred data. It’d start with a game crash here and there. Reset the console and you were good to go. But, as the problem worsened, games would get stuck on loading screens, the dashboard would hard crash, updates would fail to install. Error E101, E201, etc. The cable detonates in such a way that, at random times, data transferred to the hard drive is corrupted. This would only manifest *sometimes* during normal gameplay as you only load from the hard drive sporadically. But as the deterioration got worse, the problem got worse. Trying to apply a firmware update requires a consistent stream of good, uncorrupted data to (and then from) the drive. Corruption makes the update fail. I actually made two videos detailing the fix (check my channel if curious) but it requires opening the console and replacing the SATA combo cable with PC motherboard SATA data and power cables. If you wanna go crazy, you can saw off the data side of the combination cable and replace that part only. It worked for me numerous times and I’d be interested to know if it solves the issue.
I’m curious, my Xbox one s won’t update anymore & I remember getting a message saying my cache is full, do you think I should try holding down the power button & shutting it down? If I do this, would it erase any data or current updates?
Yup! I can confirm this. A few weeks ago, I dug out my old Xbox One to get it ready for a friend's kid. He needed a gaming console, and I had the first Xbox One lying around. I connected it to factory reset it, but I was not allowed to, and I could not update the firmware either. I had to manually update it through USB, which also factory reset it and wiped it clean. It's bonkers.
This is the reason I keep saying I hate online only and not just because of preservation. It also drives me crazy that there are people who defend it. Imagine your in the middle of no where with barely any internet connection you bought a system only not to able to play because you need an online connections.
Well in my country i might as well be in the middle of nowhere because Xbox services aren't supported. I can only use Xbox services if i pretend am from a different country with the risk of getting banned of course. That means that buying lots of stuff from Xbox for me is not a good idea because i am in the risk of getting banned and i may lose everything. So at best i might just pay for Game Pass where i know i don't own anything with that anyway and treat Xbox as only a game Netfix like console service. Exception some physical games that are fully on disk i guess and you can play completely offline as long as Microsoft doesn't brick my Xbox if it bans me. Playstation fully supports my country so i have no issue therefore my primary system and the console system i buy games for is a Playstation.
As someone that runs enterprise IT this is no doubt down to the end of life of the Windows 10 branch that those Xboxes are on. They can't update as those update rings are out of date. It does seem ridiculous that a manual FW update is also failing.
@@heavensea141 maybe. But i don't see this happening anymore if Best Buy and all other stores are gonna take away DVDs and Blu Rays...really shows that Physical Media is being thrown away
At that point, modding the console is the only thing left to do for us. Just like I'm saying about the 360 now that the store is closed: Mod it and make it truly yours.
By making a dev mode available to consumers Microsoft has discouraged modding, since it could really only be for piracy, but this "issue" might change that. Personally I wish there was a Xbox One emulation/recompilation scene though simply because some games have local multiplayer on the console but not on PC at this time.
Unfortunate for you, Microsoft invested a ton of resources, time, and effort into making the console nearly unhackable from a softmod POV (hypervisor and stuff). No one came up with a hardmod solution either (unlike the OG Xbox and 360), so we now have a huge brick.
@@glenmcllmfao what are you even on about 😂 get that victim complex crap out of here. Dude is critical of PlayStation a ton in this video alone. Guess it’s easier to rage at a headline instead of listening to what he says
Ironically, this hits right on the eve of the Xbox 360 store shutting down, however you can still use that console 100% without internet 😂 Don Matrick had it right all along lmao
I have the older version of the xbox one but I'm definitely thinking about going back to xbox 360 because it's much easier to function without all that internet crap
Thanks for the heads up re PS5 Slim. As someone who currently plays PS2, PS3, PS4 & PSVITA, I'll need to make sure I go for the big/old PS5 Disc console when I inevitably get there!
I still have mine sitting next to my TV. It's for digital free to play games for my kid, as the laser is shot in the optical drive. My kid was just using it last week for Roblox. It still has some use. I used it for Fornite to play with her a few week earlier also. I still have a lot of physical games that don't really need "Series" power also, so I was going to repair it at some point.
@@Hughesburner The one I gave to my missus, is still in perfect working order 9 years later. She's new to gaming so the visual downgrades are not a big bother. We went through the whole Halo franchise together with me on Series X and her one Xbox One except when i was over there with here and we played Halo Reach and Halo 4 split screen together.
@@joshallen128 My missus is new to gaming so she was happy to play at 30fps on Xbox One while I was playing at 60fps on Series X. It was my 1st run through Infinite, so playing it with her was a Joy.
it's the same with the Series X. Every Xbox after the 360 NEED an online connection to get started, otherwise they are just lemons. You can't even create a random user profile like on Playstation if you don't have internet. What an utterly worthless series of game consoles.
At this point are they now considered Gaming Consoles? Or Streaming boxes where you install the games on? Becuase the Console requiring you to connect to the internet to start it or create a profile sounds like a Roku device or Android box now at this point. Where it doesn't do anything without internet. While the 360 runs with or without internet....thats a real console.....Consoles are kinda dead now
@@michael_c2 Exactly. Come decades from now, this will be a reality as eventually they'll outlive their usefulness. This will be a disaster of epic proportions.
I miss the good old days where you can just buy a console & a game & everything was included in the game, no need to download any dlc & no internet required..
When it comes to the activation issue with the PS5 Slim it seems to me that an easy compromise would be that you can’t play movies on the console until you activate the drive but it should let you play games. Assuming that is the reason why the drive needs to be activated.
Wonder if there's some sort of code signing certificate that has either expired on the older firmware or is maybe "too new" on the new firmware (so the firmware update process doesn't "trust" it and fails the update)
I had a PS5 get stuck in an update loop last year, pretty scary stuff. Kinda convinced me these consoles are very temporary and having a big physical disc library for them is pointless
This "online installation" shit is because they installed software into the xboxes that meant they always needed to be online, and always needed Kinect plugged in. There was a day one patch which disabled both of these features. So now a bug has occured that stops your xbox from working, it can't be factory undone because you'll always be forced to download the latest update to use the xbox when it's factory reset.
This is absolutely not true lmao. You just need to clear system cache and so a factory reset while keeping games and data, then everything is fixed. I've had to do it on my Original Xbox One for a long time, fixes every issue including not being able to get past the green screen of death. Edit: You were never even required to get a Kinect to do anything on day one what are you even talking about
@@lordsativa001originally they were going to require you to get a connect and have a DRM requirement but the backlash caused them to change that policy. I think he explained it. Again I haven't tested any of this I'm not taking a side but he is saying that was originally the plan in Xbox called an audible because of the backlash.
@@michael_c2 Yes that's true they were intending to do so but then they didn't implement it. The glitch he's referring to has nothing to do with that Kinect DMR feature though, Microsoft even addressed the glitch recently
So long story short if you have an old Xbox One just laying around we should take them out of storage every once in a while just to update them so they don’t get too far behind and have issues.
That's exactly what Microsoft wants, for end users to be on recent firmware versions, that way they can dictate the rules of what the hardware will be capable of... or not capable of, just like Sony forcing people to forget about OtherOS feature after a certain PS3 firmware was launched
To resolve the issue with the Operating System being slow on Xbox One Consoles, you'll need to upgrade the Internal Mechanical Hard Drive to a Sata SSD. I put a Crucial BX500 1TB SSD into my Xbox One X and it runs smooth now.
You have to clear the cache after each update, or when you feel some slowdown. Also, keep in mind that hard drives tend to perform slower once they are filled at nearly 70% or above. I recommend you to leave at least 20-25% free storage.
Microsoft needs to address this issue asap and fix it! This is unacceptable! Plus there are people who are still behind in console generations due to various reasons and need every console version to be playable!
Had this issue a few weeks back when I was updating all my old xboxes, my vcr got to around 85% and kept failing, I must have rebooted it 5 times before it finally went through.
I remember having a similar issue with my Xbox One S a few major updates ago. The way I got around it was by switching from Wi-Fi, which is what I normally used to ethernet to just download the update and then it worked. I still think it's stupid that a console has to be activated online before you can use it. Yes, I know it has a lot of online features, but it shouldn't be required for the initial setup.
My dad only likes to play Halo and nothing else. I bought him a used Xbox one because it was a really cheap and easy way to play Halo MCC and halo infinite with since it can still cross play with PC. I’d pretty pissed if that old machine refused to update randomly.
I ran into a similar issue one the One X. First attempt to update ending up crashing and shutting down the console while it was resetting during the final application. Had to do it all over again, luckily it actually worked this time. My buddies One S ended up in a bad shutdown loop during this update as well. Couldn't even turn the console on. It works now but it was initially a big scare.
Just started my xbox one and it was self updating, and its stuck on 89%, then I get an error updating, I restarted it and again ... stuck at 89%. What the heck
Couldn't you just take the drive out, wipe it, then run the offline update onto a zero-filled drive? I did that (when I installed an SSD) and it worked.
I've been repairing video game consoles in southern Brazil for 30 years... Only last week I caught 3 like this around here... the problem can be solved by formatting the hd in the create xbox driver guide... copy the OSU2 file to the update system folder duplicate the files and create a folder A and a B paste the files into each one... copy the updater file .xvd which is inside one of the folders outside of them... Place the hard drive in the console and use the OSU1 file to proceed with the installation. THEY ARE TRYING A WAY SO THAT IF YOU MOVE WITH THE HD YOU WILL LOSE THE CONSOLE, just like in the S and X series
Guys remember you can always take these companies to court. It won’t cost you a dime. Just go to small claims court, open up a small claim & you will never see a day in court. Their lawyers will contact you & give you your money back or send you another console, I’ve done this before..
Part of me wonders if this is related to the "Collateral Damage" exploit that came out relatively recently. Like maybe Microsoft rushed out some patches that were broken because of bad testing.
My dad passed, i inherited his xb1, it downloaded an update and halfway thru the system shut off and to this day it does not power on. Ill stick with my 2005 x360 with playable and enjoyable games.
So I remember getting a message on my Xbox One S saying “Cache is full” could this be the reason why mine won’t update anymore? Should I try holding down the power button until the system shuts off & unplug everything to see if that will clear the cache? Also, will doing this erase any data or current updates?
Crazy thing is my Series X had this problem about 6 months ago. It was stuck on a loop trying to update. Took it to a repair shop, guy wiped the drive and it worked again for like a month. Then boom, same update loop. Been using my Series S ever since.
it's not a random thing it was done to push users to buy the Xbox series S and X series taking into account that in a few months from now they have to make it appear that Call of Duty is a success on the game pass
I tried updating my vcr Xbox One 2 years ago and I think the last time I updated it was around 2018. I got the "black screen of death", and my only option was resetting the console and erasing the hard drive. It took hours because I also had to find I different controller that was updated already. My original controller kept sending my wifi thru the controller. It made no sense. I'm just glad I updated it when I did and don't have the problem people are having now. I just use it for my backwards compatibility digital games.
We should sue microsoft for doing this to last generation consoles, Some people don't have the time or money to buy a "series" console plus i don't see them as upgrading at all because they're literally the same.
Have you tried downloading the older updates then installing them one by one until you reach the latest one via a USB stick? You did mention that could work at 8:10
I suspect it has something to do with the Quick Resume power function that caused the HDD to become corrupt. One day it went to update and got stuck in a loop. I tried the usb update and all the options available. The only fix was a new Hard Drive, so I installed a solid state drive. This may not be the same issue these guys are talking about, but it's certainly an issue.
I got an OG Xbox one back in November 2021, it works but I rarely use it. It can update but takes really long compared to my old PS3 and 4 combined. The performance is a bit choppy though on the menus and takes time to open things such as games etc.
I had to download all the dashboard updates and reinstall one at a time via usb. I don't remember what fixed it but I had to do it over and over again and it just started working.
My one X is crawling as soon as the series X came it became super loud even after cleaning it out and the OS just crawls. I’ve had many friends with the same issue I’m convinced they throttled the One X to get people to buy the new consoles.
I had a one X that was completely fine for years after the new console came out... now I have a series X and S and those things are Ferraris by comparison. I'll never go back to waiting 3-5 minutes for games to load ever again.. old systems are for people who like their time being wasted..
Microsoft is doing it on purpose,these consoles are 10+ years old and now they are forcing us to buy 5gen consoles. We wont be able to fix it or to find a working one at resellers (xone,s,x) neither can we jailbreak it to use it..Just like with phones you buy it use it for 2,3 years max then they crashed it with newer update.. It also effects people that are fixing it and the one reselling it. They simply wont allow anyone to make profit but themselves.
@@JamezP Unfortunately, Xbox Series X games are not compatible with Xbox One consoles. Switch to sony so you'll know that there are new titles but ofc only for next gen.🙃
I was on the preview dash and migrated my stuff over to my new Series X. Then made the mistake of factory resetting my original XO VCR model - been trying OSU updates for months and NONE of them work 😢
Thank you. I'm sitting her with a mint Xbox One X playing offline games because I refuse to reset my console AGAIN to lose all my games and STILL not get online. Microsoft you SUCK for this !!
My xbox one s has been updated on the regular because i play apex legends on a budget religiously but this most recent update crashes 3/4ths of the way through every time. Im very sad because i cant afford a new system
I have the same thing with Samsung Gear VR for my S8. Will not work without new software, but server will not connect. They are forcing you to buy a new headset and phone.
Xbox DRM is the worst all around. During the last Xbox Live outage, my owned games on Series X weren't playable offline even though it was set as the home console. This has caused me to stop buying games on the Xbox platform, and I'm surprised that more aren't talking about it. We need to get Microsoft's attention here.
Thankfully, our base XBOX One works fine at this stage, but we kept it relatively up to date over the years even though we have not gamed on it too often. (EDIT) Thanks for reporting this to Microsoft, big companies generally do not take note of such issues from average individual users. AMD is a good example of this, I have reported a major Unreal Engine 3 performance drop issue in games like Unreal Tournament 3 since Crimson 17.7.2 and they never cared to bother.
Piracy is morally right and completely justified. These companies will steal from you so NEVER feel in the wrong for stealing back your property from them.
Not the Psp actually. Also you had to do is Download Games you bought digitaly on the Psp and it will play them without any update. Same for Ps1 and Ps2
This happened to me on the Xbox 360. I had the blade update. I could not update the Xbox 360 unless I used an older firmware using a game disk that had the update in it.
Idk if it's only the original xbox one's issue, but my old xbox one s works just fine and I turned it on yesterday and it had to update, so even though I Don't use it anymore; it still updates..
It's possible it's an oversight. Maybe the new versions use a new key or use some function that does not exist in this version of firmware but was added at some point down the line well before this update was released. There might be some intermediate version you have to update to first or something. Shot in the dark.
When ppl say who cares its an old machine have no idea what they're even talking about. My 14 year old nephew kept wanting my ps3. So I ended up buying him a ps3 slim,the last version, w some games for his bday n he was all excited for it. Glad hes wasnt an xbox fan lol
My day one xbox one. It just keeps saying error no matter how many times you factory reset the device. I just thought I could swap the internal drive and move on. Im glad i have waited to do it and finding out that it's not just mine.
If you bought the PS5 Slim Digital (didn't attach the drive because it's sold as an accessory ); then you want have the same problem. The new problem will be an accessory which can't be activated in the long future.

At that point, modding the console is the only thing left to do for us. Just like I'm saying about the 360 now that the store is closed: Mod it and make it truly yours.
Noone has modded a Xbox one yet.
Xbox One could be more popular with modding, sadly it isn't possible yet
By making a dev mode available to consumers Microsoft has discouraged modding, since it could really only be for piracy, but this "issue" might change that. Personally I wish there was a Xbox One emulation/recompilation scene though simply because some games have local multiplayer on the console but not on PC at this time.
Unfortunate for you, Microsoft invested a ton of resources, time, and effort into making the console nearly unhackable from a softmod POV (hypervisor and stuff). No one came up with a hardmod solution either (unlike the OG Xbox and 360), so we now have a huge brick.

I have the older version of the xbox one but I'm definitely thinking about going back to xbox 360 because it's much easier to function without all that internet crap
I never hooked my 360 back to the internet. I still have the home screen.
Thanks for the heads up re PS5 Slim. As someone who currently plays PS2, PS3, PS4 & PSVITA, I'll need to make sure I go for the big/old PS5 Disc console when I inevitably get there!
what happened to snap an app feature, you could have a tiny browser or youtube window on the side
Got rit of it used too much system resources and not many used it
Easily the biggest lost of this gen for me😂
It was removed a while ago and that's not the only feature that's gone. We don't have picture in picture anymore and folks used that one too.
My missus has a pass me down VCR Xbox One, people don't understand there people that still use these.
I still have mine sitting next to my TV. It's for digital free to play games for my kid, as the laser is shot in the optical drive. My kid was just using it last week for Roblox. It still has some use. I used it for Fornite to play with her a few week earlier also. I still have a lot of physical games that don't really need "Series" power also, so I was going to repair it at some point.
@@HughesburnerHalo infinite works better in mind than PC
@@Hughesburner The one I gave to my missus, is still in perfect working order 9 years later. She's new to gaming so the visual downgrades are not a big bother. We went through the whole Halo franchise together with me on Series X and her one Xbox One except when i was over there with here and we played Halo Reach and Halo 4 split screen together.
@@joshallen128 My missus is new to gaming so she was happy to play at 30fps on Xbox One while I was playing at 60fps on Series X. It was my 1st run through Infinite, so playing it with her was a Joy.
If mine didn't stop working properly in 2021 I would probably still use it
it's the same with the Series X. Every Xbox after the 360 NEED an online connection to get started, otherwise they are just lemons. You can't even create a random user profile like on Playstation if you don't have internet. What an utterly worthless series of game consoles.
At this point are they now considered Gaming Consoles? Or Streaming boxes where you install the games on? Becuase the Console requiring you to connect to the internet to start it or create a profile sounds like a Roku device or Android box now at this point. Where it doesn't do anything without internet. While the 360 runs with or without internet....thats a real console.....Consoles are kinda dead now
Think of how many are going to end up in the landfills. should be illegal
@@michael_c2 Exactly. Come decades from now, this will be a reality as eventually they'll outlive their usefulness. This will be a disaster of epic proportions.
I'm glad I still got my launch og backwards compatible ps3 and my xbox 360 in use. Literally the last of the best consoles.
I miss the good old days where you can just buy a console & a game & everything was included in the game, no need to download any dlc & no internet required..
When it comes to the activation issue with the PS5 Slim it seems to me that an easy compromise would be that you can’t play movies on the console until you activate the drive but it should let you play games. Assuming that is the reason why the drive needs to be activated.
Does this happen with the slim that already comes with a disk drive? Shouldn't that already be activated?
Wonder if there's some sort of code signing certificate that has either expired on the older firmware or is maybe "too new" on the new firmware (so the firmware update process doesn't "trust" it and fails the update)
I have one which hasn't been turned for most if not all of this year, that is also doing the same thing.
And it begins.
No actually this issue was already there back in 2018.
It began since 2018 u need to wake up.
I think he means it begins as it's beginning to be a problem that people notice
I had a PS5 get stuck in an update loop last year, pretty scary stuff. Kinda convinced me these consoles are very temporary and having a big physical disc library for them is pointless
@@surlyandroid tbf maybe but the PS5 isn't the one to blame here but xboxes clearly are. Also a physical game collection is always nice to have.
This "online installation" shit is because they installed software into the xboxes that meant they always needed to be online, and always needed Kinect plugged in. There was a day one patch which disabled both of these features. So now a bug has occured that stops your xbox from working, it can't be factory undone because you'll always be forced to download the latest update to use the xbox when it's factory reset.
This is absolutely not true lmao. You just need to clear system cache and so a factory reset while keeping games and data, then everything is fixed. I've had to do it on my Original Xbox One for a long time, fixes every issue including not being able to get past the green screen of death.
Edit: You were never even required to get a Kinect to do anything on day one what are you even talking about
@@lordsativa001originally they were going to require you to get a connect and have a DRM requirement but the backlash caused them to change that policy. I think he explained it. Again I haven't tested any of this I'm not taking a side but he is saying that was originally the plan in Xbox called an audible because of the backlash.
@@michael_c2 Yes that's true they were intending to do so but then they didn't implement it. The glitch he's referring to has nothing to do with that Kinect DMR feature though, Microsoft even addressed the glitch recently
Xbox Ones are standing in solidarity with the 360. A strike basically. I assume that MS AI that helps me on Bing has gone rogue or something.
LET THERE BE CHAOS
LET THERE BE CHAOS 👁️👄👁️
Microsoft is broken. 😂
So long story short if you have an old Xbox One just laying around we should take them out of storage every once in a while just to update them so they don’t get too far behind and have issues.
Expensive blue ray player
That's exactly what Microsoft wants, for end users to be on recent firmware versions, that way they can dictate the rules of what the hardware will be capable of... or not capable of, just like Sony forcing people to forget about OtherOS feature after a certain PS3 firmware was launched
I have noticed that all the new updates are making my Xbox One S a lot slower than it use to be
Yup, a lot more background bloat in the OS.
It's Windows based after all, background bloat is it's MO.
Mine too.
Some games just don't work anymore
To resolve the issue with the Operating System being slow on Xbox One Consoles, you'll need to upgrade the Internal Mechanical Hard Drive to a Sata SSD. I put a Crucial BX500 1TB SSD into my Xbox One X and it runs smooth now.
You have to clear the cache after each update, or when you feel some slowdown. Also, keep in mind that hard drives tend to perform slower once they are filled at nearly 70% or above. I recommend you to leave at least 20-25% free storage.
They pulling an apple
Well this sucks. I was planning on updating the hard drive with a massive SSD but you need to do that initial update offline to set up the console.
I love that sad John thumbnail pic, he looks like he’s looking at a landfill full of crts and a single tear is about to run down his cheek
Even with the store gone, 360 still lets you access menus lmao. We lost the best.

Microsoft needs to address this issue asap and fix it! This is unacceptable!
Plus there are people who are still behind in console generations due to various reasons and need every console version to be playable!
Had this issue a few weeks back when I was updating all my old xboxes, my vcr got to around 85% and kept failing, I must have rebooted it 5 times before it finally went through.
Is it ok now? Mine got a cache is full message. I wonder if that’s why it won’t update 🤔
I remember having a similar issue with my Xbox One S a few major updates ago. The way I got around it was by switching from Wi-Fi, which is what I normally used to ethernet to just download the update and then it worked. I still think it's stupid that a console has to be activated online before you can use it. Yes, I know it has a lot of online features, but it shouldn't be required for the initial setup.

My dad only likes to play Halo and nothing else. I bought him a used Xbox one because it was a really cheap and easy way to play Halo MCC and halo infinite with since it can still cross play with PC. I’d pretty pissed if that old machine refused to update randomly.
Fix it MICROSOFT!!! I paid for that! Everyone paid for that!
Thank you !!!
I ran into a similar issue one the One X. First attempt to update ending up crashing and shutting down the console while it was resetting during the final application. Had to do it all over again, luckily it actually worked this time.
My buddies One S ended up in a bad shutdown loop during this update as well. Couldn't even turn the console on. It works now but it was initially a big scare.
Happened to mine a few years ago, had to send it to Microsoft and got a replacement. This exact problem has been going on for a Long time.
I just packed my own. It's kind of frustrating not being able to use your console because it wouldn't want to update.
DF you probably have already seen this by now, but the issue has been claimed to have been resolved now.
You should make a follow up video!
Just started my xbox one and it was self updating, and its stuck on 89%, then I get an error updating, I restarted it and again ... stuck at 89%. What the heck
So I recently hooked up my One X and ran into a major issue trying to install a 5GB console update. Took multiple tries and still have issues.
I’m stuck in the update loop help
Couldn't you just take the drive out, wipe it, then run the offline update onto a zero-filled drive? I did that (when I installed an SSD) and it worked.
Yep. This is exactly what you have to do. Use diskpart to clean the HDD
I've been repairing video game consoles in southern Brazil for 30 years...
Only last week I caught 3 like this around here...
the problem can be solved by formatting the hd in the create xbox driver guide... copy the OSU2 file to the update system folder duplicate the files and create a folder A and a B paste the files into each one... copy the updater file .xvd which is inside one of the folders outside of them...
Place the hard drive in the console and use the OSU1 file to proceed with the installation.
THEY ARE TRYING A WAY SO THAT IF YOU MOVE WITH THE HD YOU WILL LOSE THE CONSOLE, just like in the S and X series
This is going to make OG Xbox Ones worthless.
Guys remember you can always take these companies to court. It won’t cost you a dime. Just go to small claims court, open up a small claim & you will never see a day in court. Their lawyers will contact you & give you your money back or send you another console, I’ve done this before..
Part of me wonders if this is related to the "Collateral Damage" exploit that came out relatively recently.
Like maybe Microsoft rushed out some patches that were broken because of bad testing.
My dad passed, i inherited his xb1, it downloaded an update and halfway thru the system shut off and to this day it does not power on. Ill stick with my 2005 x360 with playable and enjoyable games.
This is why I went to PS4 and never turned back because of X1 always-online BS.

So I remember getting a message on my Xbox One S saying “Cache is full” could this be the reason why mine won’t update anymore? Should I try holding down the power button until the system shuts off & unplug everything to see if that will clear the cache? Also, will doing this erase any data or current updates?
Why should anyone have to activate a console after paying 400-500 dollars for it. Ridiculous
Welcome to gaming some 20 years ago.
Crazy thing is my Series X had this problem about 6 months ago. It was stuck on a loop trying to update.
Took it to a repair shop, guy wiped the drive and it worked again for like a month. Then boom, same update loop.
Been using my Series S ever since.
The PS4 had battery problem but Sony fixed this issue. Let's hope M$ do the same with Xbox One -_-
PS5 had the same issue, but it was fixed for it too
This is what is going to happen with all the newer consoles. That needs Internet connectivity to use it.
it's not a random thing it was done to push users to buy the Xbox series S and X series taking into account that in a few months from now they have to make it appear that Call of Duty is a success on the game pass
I tried updating my vcr Xbox One 2 years ago and I think the last time I updated it was around 2018. I got the "black screen of death", and my only option was resetting the console and erasing the hard drive. It took hours because I also had to find I different controller that was updated already. My original controller kept sending my wifi thru the controller. It made no sense. I'm just glad I updated it when I did and don't have the problem people are having now. I just use it for my backwards compatibility digital games.
We should sue microsoft for doing this to last generation consoles, Some people don't have the time or money to buy a "series" console plus i don't see them as upgrading at all because they're literally the same.
Have you tried downloading the older updates then installing them one by one until you reach the latest one via a USB stick? You did mention that could work at 8:10
I've said this since 2020 when the Xbox Series consoles launched MS should have
LEFT THE OG X1 out of the "Modern" Xbox Console Family
so it reverted back to it's default NSA listening device setting then ?
I had a similar issue a couple years ago on an Xbox One X. I ended up replacing the hard drive and that worked.
…lies
…mine is just fine
My Xbox One X has been fine since then. Used daily, mostly for TH-cam and Amazon Prime Video.
I suspect it has something to do with the Quick Resume power function that caused the HDD to become corrupt. One day it went to update and got stuck in a loop. I tried the usb update and all the options available. The only fix was a new Hard Drive, so I installed a solid state drive.
This may not be the same issue these guys are talking about, but it's certainly an issue.
I got an OG Xbox one back in November 2021, it works but I rarely use it. It can update but takes really long compared to my old PS3 and 4 combined. The performance is a bit choppy though on the menus and takes time to open things such as games etc.

I had to download all the dashboard updates and reinstall one at a time via usb. I don't remember what fixed it but I had to do it over and over again and it just started working.
That's odd. I bought one and put a ssd in it and it updated fine.
I've been dealing with this for months. I keep trying and it keeps failing. Im ready to take it to the dump.
Same. My console was working fine and a automatic update while I was sleeping completely fucked it up. Insane.
My one X is crawling as soon as the series X came it became super loud even after cleaning it out and the OS just crawls. I’ve had many friends with the same issue I’m convinced they throttled the One X to get people to buy the new consoles.
🤯 what? They would never do that!?! Yeah right that is exactly what they did!!!
I had a one X that was completely fine for years after the new console came out... now I have a series X and S and those things are Ferraris by comparison. I'll never go back to waiting 3-5 minutes for games to load ever again.. old systems are for people who like their time being wasted..
mine wont even allow the offline USB update to perform
Microsoft is doing it on purpose,these consoles are 10+ years old and now they are forcing us to buy 5gen consoles.
We wont be able to fix it or to find a working one at resellers (xone,s,x) neither can we jailbreak it to use it..Just like with phones you buy it use it for 2,3 years max then they crashed it with newer update..
It also effects people that are fixing it and the one reselling it.

I have the same thing with Samsung Gear VR for my S8. Will not work without new software, but server will not connect. They are forcing you to buy a new headset and phone.
Xbox DRM is the worst all around. During the last Xbox Live outage, my owned games on Series X weren't playable offline even though it was set as the home console. This has caused me to stop buying games on the Xbox platform, and I'm surprised that more aren't talking about it. We need to get Microsoft's attention here.
Thankfully, our base XBOX One works fine at this stage, but we kept it relatively up to date over the years even though we have not gamed on it too often.
(EDIT) Thanks for reporting this to Microsoft, big companies generally do not take note of such issues from average individual users. AMD is a good example of this, I have reported a major Unreal Engine 3 performance drop issue in games like Unreal Tournament 3 since Crimson 17.7.2 and they never cared to bother.

It's possible it's an oversight. Maybe the new versions use a new key or use some function that does not exist in this version of firmware but was added at some point down the line well before this update was released. There might be some intermediate version you have to update to first or something. Shot in the dark.
