I would like to ask: If there’s a parental lock that requires a code but I forgot it at one point. When I factory reset the Xbox will the code be gone ?
+Hello it's me I’m fairly certain it does not delete game achievements, as those are associated with your profile and not your console. Glad it helped!
Max Dalton thanks. I resetted to factory settings and everything got deleted including game achievements. I already sold it and i bought my xbox one s 👍👍👍
Max, do you have a video on how to play original xbox games on the 360? I used to be able to play my original xbox games on my 360, mainly NFL 2K5, but now it will not load. I tested Halo and Halo 2 and they both work on my 360. Any recommendations on how to get backwards compatibilty on my 360 again?
Thanks for the help 👍 I got an Xbox 360 for my birthday and wanted to clear off all the stuff that my dad’s brother had on it when he owned it. All that’s left to do now is get a wireless networking adapter
Thanks, Karen. I’ve never had a family pass code on my Xbox, but I’m assuming this would remove it as well. Yes, this will remove everything from the device’s hard drive.
It didn't show the "enter xbox serial number" screen. I just clicked yes and it left the screen. But all my stuff is still on there. With my Xbox I got from a friend it doesn't have a hard drive. It has a memory unit.
I have a question if i factory reset my xbox 360 would i still keep my dlcs and stuff? Iike for example i have the season pass on black ops 2 but i downloaded it from gameshare when my friend gave it to me does that delete?
Hi Max. Long shot if you’re going to see this or reply, but I’m gonna try. I have an old Xbox 360 console, ( working perfectly fine). It’s modified. I used to play with pirated games. Now I want to connect to Xbox live. I’ve read that since the original software is modified, if I connect, it’s going to get blocked. Any way how to unmodify it? So I can use it for Netflix and even download original games after paying for them?
I see you :-) Great question. I've had friends who did this (modified and had a bunch of emulator games loaded to their device), but it's not anything I've ever played with. This is the first time I've heard that you'll get blocked, and I don't know if I believe that, but you never know. Hopefully someone else sees this who knows. I'll also post this question in my channel community tab and see if we can get a reply. Community tab is here: th-cam.com/channels/BbDWMccTJCL0WmbMHNLZIw.htmlcommunity
I get an Error message when trying to do this, instead of a window asking for the serial number, I get a window saying “A required storage device has been removed. Your console will now restart.” 🤔 I bought this second-hand, it’s missing something it sounds like?
Thanks I found my Xbox 360 in storage from 5 years ago so I cleaned it and thanks now that update works because For some reason I had to factory reset to do the console update
After I hit hard drive I see other options like games and apps profiles demos videos themes gamer pictures avatar items system items and music IDK WHY DOES MINE LOOK DIFFERENT??!
This is not resetting your console to factory. This is how to wipe your hard drive (remove all data) Not reset your settings at all. There was not 1 setting in this video that was reset. You literally formatted the hard drive and that's it.
hello hey one of my fruends gave me an xbox 360 slim and it has a paerntal contol code i have to do but idk wich is it i ask my friend he disent remember the code or other alternative thing soo if i do hard reset will it delete that? ill try and coment if it did thanks for the info
Hi again i did it but it didint reset the parental control password someone help please we r trying hard to take the parental control down please someone help
my problem is that my 360 says that there are no storage devices found, I don't know why it is doing this it was working fine 1 month ago, I wiped all of my data and still says i dont have storage so I can't follow through with this tutorial.
I bought a used xbox 360. It does not start on the home dashboard screen with the7 tabs, such as bing, home etc. Can you guys tell me how to get to that screen?
I think so, but I honestly don't know. You may want to make a lap through the rest of the comments on this video, because I'm pretty sure this has come up before.
Will this delete all my games that are bought on it? A friend gave me his and I want to reset it so I can put in my own account and personal money stuff. Will this do that without deleting all boughtem games?

If you don't see format after clicking hard drive press y for device options and it will show up.

Thanks
Thanks, I almost thought my Xbox 360 didn’t have format
Thanks mate

When it says “memory unit” instead of hat drive, press “y”and it should pop up with the reset and stuff. It worked for me.
Thank uuuu

It only wipes what's on your xbox

@@josiemvlogstar same
Josie Medina did you figure this out?
Start XBox > Settings > System > Initial Setup.

Something bro I erased everything 4 nothing still pops family fuckin code
Yeah men!
I get to formatting and it says

Any advice?
Yeah, I need up too
did you figure it out? If you did please help I’m doing this right now
Same....🙄
Same here HELP
Same here need help
I would like to ask:
If there’s a parental lock that requires a code but I forgot it at one point. When I factory reset the Xbox will the code be gone ?
Very easy steps! Does the Xbox need to be hooked up to the TV to reset to factory?
Thanks m8. The age restrictions were still on the 360 when I got it
Resting the hard drive did nothing for the parental controls, any ideas, need serious help
@@mercedescannon8821 me either this factory reset stuff sucks I just wanna play halo never buy anything from a pawn shop 😭😭
Resetting to factory settings will also delete all game achievements reached? And thanks a lot. Very helpful video 👍
+Hello it's me I’m fairly certain it does not delete game achievements, as those are associated with your profile and not your console. Glad it helped!
Max Dalton i'm actually planning on selling my xbox 360 to buy an xbox one s. So i'm not too sure what i need to delete...
+Hello it's me Probably everything just to be safe. I kept my Xbox 360 hanging around for a while, but donated it after I reset the factory settings.
Max Dalton thanks. I resetted to factory settings and everything got deleted including game achievements. I already sold it and i bought my xbox one s 👍👍👍
Awesome! Congrats, and enjoy the new Xbox.
Max, do you have a video on how to play original xbox games on the 360? I used to be able to play my original xbox games on my 360, mainly NFL 2K5, but now it will not load. I tested Halo and Halo 2 and they both work on my 360. Any recommendations on how to get backwards compatibilty on my 360 again?
What do we do if after we did all the steps it just takes you back to the storage devices screen?
Thank you very much, can you log in with your old Xbox Live Account? Or will all the Games and Things on your Account be deleted
Literally the only helpful video on here regarding this subject!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad the video helped!

@@DarthEldniw press "Y". then continue as normal
Thanks! It fixed the lag on sonic 4 episode 1! 😊
Hi Max, I'm assuming this gets rid of the family pass code , and everything else, correct? Great video btw
Thanks, Karen. I’ve never had a family pass code on my Xbox, but I’m assuming this would remove it as well. Yes, this will remove everything from the device’s hard drive.
Karen Santamaria it did not
No the family code stays
Tedecia Williams did you ever figures out how to get pass the family passcode ?
CaptainAlex 250 do you know how to get rid of it?
Will this completely delete my acc?
genuinely thank you
Yesss! Thank you! This fixed my xbox that kept giving errors
will it return an updated xbox 360 elite to its original blade dashboard?
I dont have format
Thank you so much. Finally one that is easy 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad it helped!
Very helpful really appreciate it man 👍
You're most welcome. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for da help I will now proceed to like da video.
Done, tha ks man, nightmare, should be a lot easier and was struggling so thanks buddy
It didn't show the "enter xbox serial number" screen. I just clicked yes and it left the screen. But all my stuff is still on there. With my Xbox I got from a friend it doesn't have a hard drive. It has a memory unit.
Press on the memory unit
And do it
What if I have memory unit? Should I format that too?
You're going to have to probably delete some stuff and transfer it to your hard drive.
I have a question if i factory reset my xbox 360 would i still keep my dlcs and stuff? Iike for example i have the season pass on black ops 2 but i downloaded it from gameshare when my friend gave it to me does that delete?
I’ve done this so many times why doesn’t it work it doesn’t even go to the home screen nothing works:(
That means if it was online it will be offline after format? Hope answer
Thanks you now I can proceed to fix the problem I have with the xbox 360
Awesome. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I’m selling my 360 and I needed to know how to do this.
Me too
Ii
Will it accidentally delete system files?
Thanks actually worked
Cool. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I could not figure that shit out by myself.
Very Helpful, And Very Good At Explaining It To..
I went on devises and pressed hard drive and now it’s came up with my storage. WTH?
Martin says memory unit instead of hard drive what I do
When it says “memory unit” press y and it should pop up with the reset and stuff. It worked for me.
My xbox doesnt let me create an account or get xbox live?
Can you just take out the hard drive so instead of doing all that or does that keep the stuff on the console
I don’t have mine anymore, but I would think it would keep some information on the console.
Oh ok so I have to delete everything on the hard drive
Also I have my Xbox 360 profile downloaded on my Xbox one will deleting everything on the hard drive affect that
It won’t affect that at all.
Yes, I think it’s in your best interest to format the hard drive on your 360.
What Do you do if you don’t have the enter the serial number? It says a required storage device has been removed
Thanks a lot buddy. It wouldn't let me download my profile from my Xbox S series so I knew I had to reset it or something

Hi,i brought a xbox from a thrift store but the subscription ran out in it want let me in what should i do?
How do I get the og gamerpics back (like the green ball with eyes and legs etc)
Will this erase all the installed games that I have or will it keep them in my profile
Can you do it with red dot?
Will you loose all your games on the hard drive?
Yes.
When I press hard drive it doesn’t bring me to the device options screen, it brings me to the hard drive screen. What do I do?
What are the options on that screen?
Thank you for the tutorial it helped a lot.
At 1:47, instead of clicking A on the hard drive, click Y to find the device options
Thank you so much for helping me restart my xbox 360
It will not allow me to format it goes straight to the formatting download type screen without the code and does nothing
Same
Is my personal account still active start again?
Does it work with rgh/jtahg
Thanks dude.
You're very welcome. Glad this video helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks I found my Xbox 360 in storage from 5 years ago so I cleaned it and thanks now that update works because For some reason I had to factory reset to do the console update
Weird. At least you got it running again. Glad the video helped! Out of curiosity, what was the reason for digging it out?
Max Dalton doesn’t everyone have the same reason to play NCAA 14 of course
If i reset everthing and download my profile back will it download?
Isn’t it gonna remove your profile?
can u do this without a controller? like with kinect
Honestly not sure. Sorry.
Newest one here🎉
Does this reset the family pass code?
I can’t say for certain because I got rid of mine, but from what I’ve seen in the comments it does not.
Can I reset my Xbox without it deleting my game achievements?
Yes. Those are associated with your user profile.
mine says A required device has been removed
Does it take away Xbox live
No, this won't take away your Xbox Live subscription. That's associated with your Xbox Live account -- not any particular device.
Thanks
Worked thanks
You're welcome!
After I hit hard drive I see other options like games and apps profiles demos videos themes gamer pictures avatar items system items and music IDK WHY DOES MINE LOOK DIFFERENT??!
This is not resetting your console to factory. This is how to wipe your hard drive (remove all data) Not reset your settings at all. There was not 1 setting in this video that was reset.
You literally formatted the hard drive and that's it.
When you figure out what you think is the right way to do it, please swing back by here and let me know.
Does this remove the bank accounts and games on the console?
Yes.
what should I do if I don't have a hard drive ??????
1:50 you mean "Press Y" under Hard Drive not A.
Thanks for the correction.
Whenever I hit yes at 2:22 I get a message saying a required storage device has been removed.
Interesting. Did you previously have an external hard drive connected?
Do Achievements go back to 0?
No. Those are associated with your account.
will it delete my Xbox live profile and my game achievements???
No, it won’t.
Okay! thank you so much
It deletes mine
And I forgot password

I’m honestly not sure why you’re not seeing that. Did you disconnect the connected hard drive?
I dont have hard drive tho, i have storage called ”Memory Unit” and i dont know how to delete anything from it..
Do the accounts get removed

Did you press Y?
