For anyone doing this in 2021 and beyond, it still works, but the size of the System Update folder in OSU1 has increased to 6.11GB. So the 12GB that the master script allots will not be enough.
You should use the AOMEI Partition Assistant to add at leat 1.3 GB (so there is some extra just in case) to the System Update partition. If you have no unallocated data to draw from, use the Disk Partition tool to shrink the User Content partition and them merge that unallocated data to System Update.
Hope this helps! All the best and Happy Gaming!
You've saved me thanks!
@@kunphorm8777 happy to have helped keep another gamer alive!
King. Thank you.
Thank you so much my man, i was panicking when i saw 'not enough space'.
@@akshayc2408 Ru from India I got the black screen of death any idea how to fix it
Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial and the links to all the necessary files. You made this mom a super hero today!
Thank you for this video! It is much better quality than others I've seen. I personally had an issue with the hard drive, though it wasn't making any strange noises. It wasn't updating properly and I'm guessing that some of the files became corrupted, however, using this video I was able to format it and reinstall it.
I had the exact same problem with the click. My HD was shot. Got a new SSD and DL'd everything listed. Followed the directions exactly as shown and it worked. Thank you!!!
thanks man, I just fixed mine, good tip telling us about the usb recovery, because I had to do that, but it now works great, thank you so much man!
I saw many tutorials about replacing or upgrading the xbox one's hard drive and this one was the easiest to understand.
Uggggh, thank you!!! All other videos were very convoluted. Sadly this didn’t resolve the problem for me but thank you for at least getting me through that part of troubleshooting because it was a headache.
I rarely leave reviews but Kudos to the guy who put this together. Worked a treat. My son only uses the Xbox for Forza now (he is a PS5 user) - so he is happy and my wallet is too 😀
Thank you for providing these links. After installing the OS on the new disk, I had to go through 4 more E-codes, but eventually we got there thanks to your tips.
So far the best put together video for this I have seen. I will be trying it out today and hope to keep my grandson happy
Did it work?
BEST VIDEO I HAVE CAME ACCROSS FOR HELP SO FAR
Thanks to your video I was able to swap out the hard drive in my ONE for something faster and bigger.
Thanks for the video. Saved my brother a lot of money. Took an old 1TB drive and did this for him and it worked. Thanks so much!
NOTE: Use a Western Digital HDD!! I followed this process with a 1TB Seagate on my Xbox One X. Got stuck at a black screen immediately after starting up. Even the USB stick method wouldn’t work. Took it all apart again, swapped to a WD drive, and it’s worked flawlessly since. Another commenter below also mentions his Seagate replacement not working with this method either. No idea why.
This was an amazing tutorial, that aside. Saved me over $200 in repair costs to fix my dead HDD. Thank you!!!
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. I found it a great help
Hi, kudos from me too! The hard drive in my Xbox One was broken (Error102) Thanks to you, it's new again! FANTASTIC ! ! !
Thank you for the video and best regards
from Germany ;)
Tried and true. My OG Xbox One is back up and running thanks to you, with a new 500GB SSD. Even runs smoother and quieter.
Thanks for this video! I popped E102 and E106 errors after following your process, but eventually cleared it up after running the USB update again. Working perfectly now.
im having that problem, what can i do to fix it
i am currently redownloading the system update on my flash drive, lmk what i can do to fix it
I gave it a shot at my xo doing the offline update before replacing HDD and it worked! thanks for the detailed video.
Bro!!! I was about to learn how to de-solder mosfets off a motherboard before i saw this video. Thanks alot man! Subbed!
Thank you so much... best video available fix xbox one with detailed instructions. My xbox was shutting down after few minutes. XBox hard disc had click of death. I replaced the 500GB WD Blue hard disk with 1TB Seagate hybrid drive. After booting i received Error 106 and it was fixed by booting via USB stick as per your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again..
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this Tutorial, it really helped me. With the lock down and the shit show that is 2020 both me and my son have used the xbox more than ever, so it breaking has been a nightmare. As he can't really hang out with his mates in these covid times, they all hang out in xbox party's instead. The one revision I'd suggest for the process is adding the boot animation to the memory stick, as if you have to use the stick you won't get the xbox boot animation the way you explained it.
how can you add the boot animation?
Awesome video, fixed the problem right away, keep up the good content!
Thank you for this video, it clarified some steps that I needed to take. With the caveat that in my case, the system update partition was too small at 12GB, the OSU1 files in A and B came out to occupy a little more space than 12GB, I had a 2TB drive, I had 100GB of unallocated space (why?), I merged that with the System Space partition, and then I had to do the update through the USB anyway, but in the end, my Xbox One is now working!
Me too I have 500GB HDD and I had 700MB only unallocated so I merged them with the system update.
Do I need more space for the system update?
mine too
Same here
An Epic legend, another console has been fixed thanks to this video
Thank you very much for the video! It has been a huge help. I have saved my xbox 1s. A few notes on problems I had. After formatting the new hdd and installing it failed to load. I used a usb memory stick to boot from. The first try failed and erased the memory stick. If this process fails, repeat it. That is reformat the drive, install software again and check to see if usb got erased. Got it all working on the second try. Also, test it out before putting everything back together. Saves a headache if you need to rinse and repeat.
man your such a legend u fixed my xbox and its been broke for ages now im so happy
Thank you for making this video! I followed the directions and it worked! so my Xbox is back up and running! However, some of the links in the description above no longer work.
Also, xboxonehdd-master-9 is now available and can be downloaded in a version that has its own user interface. You just have to click the boxes and it's takes you through the process, rather than using command prompt. So it's now even easier.
Without your tutorial I didn't fix my OG Xbox one. Thank You Man und greetings from Germany 🙂
This still works in 2024. U saved my nephews Halo edition xbox one. Legend. Cudos to u and a sub
Mine worked first time (didnt need the USB) - awesome video, many many thanks for posting.
FYI: This still works in 2023. Follow both Modded and Akshays instructions. My hard drive was fried. Hadn’t turned on my xbox one-s in 5 years, and tonight I had success.
Thank you for this awesome vídeo. I was able to fix my son's xbox one by replacing the hdd with a ssd . it worked perfectly 👌. I did had to use the USB drive update offline method. but after that is perfect Thank you again.
Thanks man, very detailed yet very simple video.
Best wishes from India.
there is settings to stop your email and credit from cycling on the dash... same on the 360 but no one has time to dig deep and find the options, plus xbox one keeps changing the layout so how the
Great video. Very helpful. When upgrading from the original HDD (still in working condition) to an SSD, would it be better to copy over the Xbox OS from the original drive or get the Xbox OS via the OSU1 update? I'm just wondering whether the fresh download of OSU1 would lead to a cleaner OS install and perhaps faster boot times.
Great tutorial m8t you got a sub from me I wanted to upgrade my 500gb to 1tb makes a big difference to storage I will use my 500 GB drive for external now.thanks a lot m8t found your step by step guide very easy and user friendly.
Like always, very good video's. You speak so clear, that I think I could also understand you at 2x speed ;-)
Gets a double thumbs up from me, being a knowlessman I saw my recently bought for £4 Xone powered on fine... black screen so assumed it was something terminal so set about reinstalling a new mobo only to test the 500gb HDD and man it was toast, pure and simple. Never seen a HDD report so full of failure and pre-failure listings, so got a 750gb one en route and hopefully this will be fixed up and a goer this time tomorrow. So now I have what should be a working mobo and dvd board so going to keep an eye out for a busted one and have two to play with :D
This fixed my xbox, thank you for the help, really saved my wallet!
best video on this subject, real easy to follow
Hi there, great video, got one remark though. When i did the hd replacement on my xbox i tried to use a Seagate hd. This did not work, so back to the store an got me a wd hd. This worked like a charm. It said so in the .txt file i read afther i hit this hd problem which accompanied the script. So all is good now and thx again for your very clear explanation, cheers!
Just did this on mine and so far its working fine, cheers
Nicely Done! Fixed a bricked Xbox One that a friend gave to me :)
Thanks! this allowed me to recover a dead XboxOne - it turns out the partition table got corrupted and it lost all the partition information. Rebuild the drive an everything works again :D
Very good video. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
You are the best.
Thankyou so much. You saved me so much trouble. Easily the best video out there.
This must be the best video for this floating on youtube. Others are very cumbersome. Thx
This saved me today! Step by step. Absolutely brilliant. And thanks to the pinned comment - increased by System Update drive to be a little bigger too. Worked without any error codes. 👏👏👏
Thanks for the tutorial, you saved my xbox !
Great video! Worked first time, however it did fail again later and game installations stopped. My HDD probably has some internal surface damage or bad sectors. Took some time to clear again so windows could read it. I'm attempting again, however this time I'm running chkdsk /f /r to overwrite and repair any bad sectors first before running scripts and copying files onto the hdd. hopefully, it'll bind a bit better this time.
So you can restore a dead hard drive?
Thanks brother, I appreciate your good works here!
My Xbox is working again, thank you so much you saved me 100$+
Excellent guide!!!!!!! Brought my dead Xbox one x back to life.
Is the same process for the one X ?
@@DiegoCobain yes
This vid is fantastic. thank you for your clear (very clear!) explanations. sadly i don't have access to a PC, just a Mac.. i am assuming i can't run the partition and setup scripts using my Mac?
this was very helpfull the only video i could understand thank you
Just an FYI the new OSU1 file is too large to put in both in A and B folders. The X folder is only 12GB, I had to change the size of the X folder from 12GB to 20GB, I allocated the space from the temp content folder. Just wanted to mention it in case anyone else has the same issue.
Thank you for the tutorial. Everything is done good for me. ✌️👍
Thank you for this awesome video! it helps me a lot and save a lot of money! :D Keep it up brother!
OMG!! This tutorial saved my console.. I was thinking to throw my xbox to the trash until I saw your video.
@@reza7531 No, at least mine is working fine since I’ve replaced the hd..
hello man!!! Congrats for another video!!!please a question where can i find this hdd cable sata to usb to connect the hdd with laptop?
on electronic shops or buy on internet
Saved my Xbox. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH 👍 for such a detail instructions. I'm wondering that there is only WD 2.5" HD is compatible for XBox One, model 1540? Or I can replace with any 2.5" HD? Can I use 2.5" SSD drive instead of regular mechanical? Or there's no benefits from it? Thanks again.
Hi. I followed your video, and things seemed good until I tried to power on console.
The TV show a signal showing 2160p on then no signal message, and console just sits there with the power button illuminated, but no boot.
Just curious what troubleshooting steps you would recommend taking next?
Thank you btw. Great video.
awesome teacher you are sir - it worked like a charm - also you just earned your self a sub ;-) - thanks man
Just a friendly heads up.... the update files are bigger now so you will need to allocate more space to that volume to add all of the files to both A and B...
you get a sub, IFixit tried to charge me 200+ for a fix, but you had me spend no more than $15 for a cheap hard drive to see if i can fix it. So thank you so much, if i could pay you i would.
hello, can work just with the 1,2 and 4 partition?
the script give error in the partition system suport and system uptade 2
hey well i faced a problem where the OSU1 is larger than the software update disk size cuz its now about 13 gb(when u copy on both A file and B file) and the partition is about 11.5 so i did merge the unallocated space to the system software update so its now 100gbs and it worked
i used the partition assistant u mentioned to merge them
in case it didnt work with some people this is a solution for them if the system file cant fit
and i faced an error on booting it says system error and put in restart or trouble shoot
and the method Modded Warfare did mention about the USB back up for the system worked for me
thank you man u saved me twice
Just fixed my daughters Xbox. You made it real easy. The power button doesn’t work anymore but at least she can play again lol
I had issue with power button ages ago. 1) make sure ribbon cable is under the slideing plastic clip not over it. 2) gently pry between the button and the case and get some kitchen roll in there with a pry tool etc. If any residue is between the case and the internal button it doesnt work. Got xbox from a heavy vaper and that issue was eliquid reidue between button and case. The button is fixed right up against the case so be careful but worked for me
Thank you. Worked perfectly. You are a life aver.
just used on xb1 1540 worked perfectly with 5tb HDD
So if my hard drive is starting to crash I've been getting error codes and stuff I'm just going to upgrade it from now to SSD could I just copy it over or do I just need to format the new hard drive
Great tutorial thanks! But I’m having some trouble reconnecting the front panel and getting the power button to work properly- any advice welcome!
Jon Howard same
There's a small little ribbon cable that connects the touch sensitive buttons to the rest of the console. If you just yanked the case off during disassembly you probably tore it, if it's not torn just reconnect the pins and it should work, I've seen people talk about it in other hdd replacement videos where they show them unplugging and plugging it back in.
great tutorial, One update id add is that the osu is now over 6gb so you cant copy and paste it to an A and B folder. I just skipped that part and had the OSU1 file update from a USB stick and it worked just fine.
Did you skip making A and B completely? I'm having the same problem.
???
tried exactly same steps. didnt work on my buddy's xbox one. what could be problem? i dont see anything on the screen after the console is attempted to boot
Everything was going good until I ran the xbox master script chose 1tb got an error and it completely wiped my brand new 2.5 hardrive and it doesn't show up in the list anymore. Even when I unplug and plug back in the hardrive adapter to my laptop. It no longer shows up at all...
Very Helpful , Thanks Mate!
There is no bat.file, what should I do ?
Thank you!! This worked for me.
Harddrive motors that spin the drive fails of its not used in a long time as my Wii disk drive stoped spinning after not using it for a long time
I did everything according to the instructions, everything works, but I don't have any boot animation when starting the Xbox One 1540. Where is the error?
was able to fix about 4 xboxs with bad hdds by using new hdd and this method, but the other half of xboxs i tried to fix will stop the system update at 59% and go no further. they do not throw an error code, they just sit at 59% indefinitely, is this a common issue? why are they all getting stuck at the very same percentage?
having trouble copying Folder A Contents to B , says not enough space .. any advice? its a 500 GB HD and the System update partion is 11.9 GB
it worked but i had to use the flash drive but i dont get any boot animation even though i but it on the hard drive itself
I know this is an old video but I was wondering if there was anywhere else to get the boot animation from? When ai try to get it it says I need permission
Can I opt out of the internal drive for an external to save on searching for and waiting on shipping for the internal replacement
Thanks man! You're a life saver!
On 500gb hdd I cant add OUS1 files to both folder A or B in System Update Partition. I only have enough space to add to one folder. How to resolve this issue?? Need an additional 294 MB
So my Internal drive is dead and needs to be replaced. Do I need a certain drive to use in the Xbox as I have a external 3.0 drive i was going to out inside.
Also if I was to use that drive would I need to format it to be able to use it in my Xbox as it has over 25 games on it
Is it possible to convert my xbox one internal hard drive to external hard drive if i use an enclosure? My xbox one broke so i need to transfer my games to the other xbox dont know what to do
Thankyou managed to change my hard drive in my xbox one using your video
my xbox wont do the offiline update. its starts it but gives me and error right at 1%
any ideas? i have an Xbox one s
Hello after using this method for I while I noticed it is no longer functional or am I doing something wrong in the process. Also can i also use this method on a functioning xbox one hardrive.
What if none of the above works and I still have an e100 error? My disc drive went bad as well as hdd. I replaced both with known working drives and I keep getting this error still.
Question. I have a new 1tb firecuda ssd seagate drive. Followed all steps and came up with e106 error. The original hard drive quit booting. After trying to program new hard drive I decided to plug in the old one and see what was on it. It's completely blank. It has wiped itself. So could that be a mother board issue within the xbox. The new one still has the info after trying to boot. It also wont let me offline update with usb.
Mine doesn't work but every time i try partitioning it, it comes up as basic data partition rather than primary partition.
I seem to be the only one having this issue and i can't figure out why.
I'm having issues, I got to the troubleshoot page but after I press offline system update the Xbox doesn't load the next screen where it attempts to install the offline update and either restarts the Xbox or goes to a no signal page. Any suggestions ?
Would I be able to swap a hard drive from a one x to a og Xbox without the other steps ?
