Your the only person i have found that knew this, i had my disc reader disconnected and it wouldn’t update. As soon as i plugged it in it started to work THANK YOU!
I wish I had seen this two days ago. I spent hours fiddling with xbox and replacing the hard disk over and over and using the OSU1 boot file and didn't leave 58%. Watching the video, I realized that I did the whole procedure with the console open and the blue-ray disconnected, then reconnected and the process went smoothly. Thank you very much!!
Hey XFIX, I was impressed with your expertise on the error. I went ahead and swapped the motherboards in the Bluray drives and now the drive is responsivewhich is fantastic. This actually solved my problem thanks a million man!!
I think the reason to e100 errors are more common on one S models is not exactly the console itself, but, as being more accessible, there are more people to buy it as a 4K bluray movie player and entertainment center than people who buy One X models which are a more "enthusiast" focused model and when the laser fails, they exchange the laser incorrectly (and movie discs are more intensive to the laser than game ones which are checked once or twice to read licenses), other than people shutting off during system updates.
I swapped parts from one Xbox to was having an issue to another Xbox that was having a different issue. I figured if I moved some parts around I could get it to work. I never plugged the disk drive back in when I began testing the console. This is the first video I clicked on while searching for solutions, I would have never known. Thank you very much sir!!!
Having this exact problem, and this is the very best video to inform and educate on what needs to be done and what the actual problem is. I did a HDD replacement and now I am getting this error, so I am going to check out the bluray situation and see what I can find. Thank you very much for isolating this issue and making a bullseye video that hits all of the information properly.
@@blakemcpherson-smith6741 I had a massive struggle until I took my one x apart one last time, and then carefully inspected the blu ray cables.... and I found that I had it UPSIDE DOWN!! once I flipped it right side up, my problem disappeared. I don't know if this will help you, but I hope it does. it was such an awesome thing to see it working with a new SSD and thermal paste upgrade. Cheers man, and let me know if it works!
Thank God for nerds! We've been trying to fix an Xbox one S for 3 days with an E100 error on the last step of updating. Never thought to make sure the disc drive didn't somehow come disconnected. You're a lifesaver!
E100 is not necessarily bluray drive related. It might arise from a file/folder error in the hard drive. I've just fixed one system which prompted E100 after replacing the hard drive. Aware of the possibility of this situation, the first thing I did after diagnosing the hard drive as failing, I took an old 500GB disk I had and the installation proceeded flawlessly. So, I ordered the new disk and when I installed it, bam!, E100. After several unsuccessful attempts, I took the old disk I previously had used and copied the System Update contents to the new disk and, surprisingly, it completed the software installation and worked just fine.
i had e100 101 102 106 and 105 and offlined update always fail at verifying andi had [1 old [Seagates] hdd and brand new [Seagate] hdd] AND FOR SOME REASON MY XBOX 1 X MODEL DONT LIKE SEAGATES HDD andi use myy old 500gb toshiba hdd my offline installation was successful only thing i cant use fully complete shutdown mode cause it takes a wile to come on back just use nrmal shutdown or press xbox X button
great video very informative , my son unplugged his xbox 0ne s during an update (I don't know why) and on next boot it got stuck at 58% E100 error .... I suspect from you're description he'd interrupted the optical drive portion of the update... thanks fully the OSU1 offline update sorted it...HUGE THANKS from a relieved dad in the UK for sharing you're insights ....lots of information on your vid's that will no doubt come in handy..
E100 isn't necessarily due to the disc drive, or a faulty HDD! I had an Xbox One X with a faulty Seagate drive (caution on CrystalDiskInfo) and error code E101 I think. Replaced the hard drive with a Toshiba drive of the same size (1TB). After this I kept getting E100, at boot and after trying an offline system update (straight after verification stage) no matter what I did. Replaced sata cable on the disc drive. No dice. Disc drive still took a disc in and powered up though. I was ready to chalk it up to a faulty disc drive daughter board, but I decided to do more testing. I then replaced the HDD with an identical Toshiba 1TB; same result. Bear in mind both Toshiba hard drives were healthy (manufactured 2021, model MQ04ABF100 ). I checked the logs in the SystemSupport partition as shown in the video; mine just had 0.log and it was empty. It would fail just after verification so I'm assuming it didn't even try updating. Finally, I formatted the original Seagate HDD , on Windows using diskpart clean. Installed it back in, it went straight past verification and installed software no problem, if a little slow. No E100. In conclusion, I think the Xbox one doesn't like certain hard drives. So if you're getting E100, it may not be your disc drive.
Tbh i just came here to thank you ifix you are a god and idk why its been already 2 years and you haven't uploaded more informative content thanks again and i hope you do more of this content thanks
This makes a lot of sense. My 2.5 year old son stuck a Valentine's Day card with a sticker on it in the disc drive of my One S. I opened the system up, since it's out of warranty, to get it out. Disc drive won't read discs now. Which I thought wasn't a huge deal, just get a stand alone Blu Ray player for movies. But now i'm getting the E100 error and stuck at 58%. So it appears that unless I actually replace the disc drive and swap the daughter board i'm kind of SOL. May just be a good time to upgrade to the Series S and sell the One S for parts.
The blu-ray drive being linked to the system is nothing new. The PS3 & PS4 do the same thing. This is why many professional repairers will try and fix the drive itself before replacing it. In the event the do replace it, they try to transfer the board to the new drive. If the board on the drive is fried turning it into Microsoft (or Sony for PlayStation) probably your last option.
This is true and the more people that are aware of this the better. Turns out the system in this video was the result of the owner having a bad HDMI port but instead of replacing the HDMI port he purchased a replacement motherboard and tossed the original motherboard. On 2 other occasions I've had multiple system sent to me that were completely Frankensteined together in similar fashion with the same result.
@@mpdavig im going to check the hdmi port. there are two and one works but i thought the other was an output. if iether one goes bad are you saying it can cause a e100? interesting. glad i know how to solder.
This video is very informative. I”ll watch it again. My Xbox one fat hdd died on me. It was making clicking sounds. I haven’t taken out the hdd and do some testing. Thank you XFIX for the video.
I keep getting the E100 error after replacing the XBox One S or X HDD. It ONLY HAPPENS with 1Tb disks. I've been able to replace 500Gb disks, even 750 and 640 disks, but not the 1 Tb ones. Tried the Linux and Windows methods with no luck. What is going on here? Since October I have not been able to replace 1 Tb disks.
Interesting. E100 is lack of response from the Blu-ray drive which uses the same SATA bus as the HDD. It's possible that the 1TB replacement drive is some how not compatible with the Xbox One. E100 can also appear during an offline update but can be resolved with subsequent retries. What is the model of your 1TB drive?
Toshiba MQ04ABF100, but I remember trying once with a Seagate HDD and still nothing. I'm ordering a WD Blue 1Tb to see if this fixes the issue. Just finished replacing it with a WD 500Gb, and everything worked perfectly. Thanks!
Same problem, in my X1S original HDD 500GB (WD5000LUCX) is broken (clicking) and I bought used 1TB Toshiba MQ04ABF100, replaced it and I got E100 :( WHY?
I did a HDD -> SSD swap on my Xbox One X and got an E100 error. Turns out when I unplugged the Blu-ray drive from the system the plastic clip pulled out of the drive a little bit so the pins in the drive weren’t contacting the contacts in the plug. I went through the startup error log and found that the system wasn’t detecting the drive. I took a fine tip Philips head and pushed the plastic clip back in the drive so the pins were exposed again. Plugged her in and it started right up.
Thank you. I was getting E100 after putting my console back together after another repair. Turned out I just didn't reconnect the optical drive after positioning it during reassembly. Whoops! This helped me identify where the problem was.
Hi! Excelent explanation. I have a question. It's possible to "convert" an X-Box One S to an X-Box One S All Digital to avoid this problem with the BDD?
thank you for the concise info. I just got the E100-xxxxxxxxxx error (it ended with a 9) - fortunately though, no hardware repair was needed. I'll explain what happened in case anyone has had a similar issue. btw this is the OG xbox one. I've always had a faulty blu ray reader on my xbox. it works but acts buggy and I've had to manually eject the discs (with a paperclip through the hole on the side) many times in the past. anyways, I got the E100 error today, and after trying multiple troubleshooting tips, I simply hit the eject button a few times and what do you know -- it works! it finally finished the update. just an FYI to any OG xbox one users having this problem.
I know this is an older video now, but I figured it's worth a shot. I am having the same issue you have described, but when I open the logs in the support partition, I see a different error. I see "GetOddPhysicalDevice Failed, COddDevice::_Open Failed! Odd Open failed, retry in one second" over and over. Updates hang around 58ish percent as stated. I checked connections, it all looks good. This was a refurb unit, but I've had no issues with it for a few years until now. Why???
Thanks for another great video. The error logs are really useful - they showed in my case that the ODD wasn't detected and I was able to get it back up and running by replacing the SATA data cable. Doesn't appear to be very easy to find an exact replacement cable in Europe. The size and plug orientation is a bit different and it's quite a tight squeeze when everything goes back in. A 13mm clearance is required below the hard drive.
HOLY SHIT GUYS READ THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS!!! I I literally think I had the BLU RAY CABLE upside down or something, because it actually worked when I decided to flip the blu ray drive cable upside down!!! I must have had it on the wrong way, because as soon as I plugged it in the update continued without issue! Previously I had plugged / unplugged everything multiple times, but the only thing that fixed it was this! hope this helps anyone out there with this issue. cheers!
@@tylercurtis789 The data cable that goes into the blu ray drive. The system will not update properly if it does not properly recognize the drive and will stay stuck. As soon as you have it on properly, it will continue (at least in my case). I couldn't figure out what was wrong but I flipped it upside right and it went on with no issues.
@@kalhamm3r thank you I will give it a try. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is the clearing the hard drive itself or moving the IC from a donor PCB to my original board like Andrew Paul suggested.
@siztix only issue with that is once people ain’t able to talk anymore on the consoles I feel like there might be a huge shift. I like both consoles so I got no actual opinion they’re both good consoles lmao
My Xbox keeps on like freezing or not listen, and when I load a game it crashes and I start the game up again and random error keep on coming when I try to load the game ect
Bro... this was so awesome for me. I had replaced my blu ray drive in my xbox one and I watched a video that left out the swapping of the daughter board. So when I turned the xbox on with the new drive there was this new E100 error and I was thinking, great what did I screw up now?? When i started your video, you explained how the problem is related to the swapping of the boards in the blu ray drive. So, I swapped the boards and viola! Thanks so much for making this important video!
Kept getting this error code on my Xsx. tried everything then saw this video. I had removed my disc drive awhile back so all I simply had to do was reconnect my disc drive and system was able to update. Thank you!!
I wish I would have seen this a week ago. I have spent hours messing with the xbox and replacing the hard drive over and over and using the OSU1 boot up file. Stops at 58% each time. Now I am going to search for your blue ray repair video, I hope you have one.
i know i just got it and the new event just came out in Apex😭😭😭i don’t even know what the hard drive is…i’m so lost.btw they are doing this so that we have to get a new xbox.Iphone does that too and it’s working
So if I swapped dvd drives and don’t have the original one anymore I’m screwed ? I threw it away and don’t have the daughter board to put in the new disc drive
I just had the E100 this today. Opened up my xbox and the 2 blu-ray cables connected to the motherboard were completely disconnected WTF how did that happen must have been some kind of chip creep situation with heat or something.. XB is working again. THANKS DUDE FOR THIS VIDEO.
Is it likely security put in place so that people don't replace the Blu-Ray drive with a device that uses an SSD/HDD with a device that emulates the Xbox One Blu-Ray Drive?
Yes, you hit the nail on the head here. It’s unfortunate that these extra security measures also affect legitimate customers, particularly in their wallets.
I'm wondering if the GUID of the Blu-Ray drive is tied to the motherboard, as in the Motherboard checks for a matching GUID. So in order for Drive emulation to work, one must have the GUID of the Blu-Ray drive for the Drive emulator to pass on to the Motherboard. You'd need some sort of 'Middle Man' attack a SATA Sniffer if you will. I doubt Microsoft will employ a 'Security Chip' in their Blu-Ray drives, as this would be more costly to manufacture. I assume they'd be following Sony's Reference Spec. I assume it is the BIOS on the Motherboard that does this check. I've seen the files of the installed games, they appear to have a Hash of some description in their File Names. When a Blu-Ray disk is inserted, an authentication check must occur allowing you to run the game. I am assuming that a game and all it's files are placed within a container file. When the game has passed authentication it Mounts the associated file. I wonder if it is worth mounting one of those files within Linux with known Filesystems to see if this is true. NTFS I assume. All this is out of scope for a typical User. I in 'No Way' condone Piracy, by the way.
Scratch that Did manage to find an application that makes Xbox One formatted drives readable on Windows. There are .xvi .xct files 4kB each and a file with no extension that seems to contain the Game data due to it's larger file size. I am reading forum posts and the jist I got, was that DRM/Encyrption is involved. So not as simple as mounting the file under a specific file system. There is nothing to stop you from backing up the installation files (I assume), then retrieving the installation files later should failure occur.
i had e100 101 102 106 and 105 and offlined update always fail at verifying andi had [1 old [Seagates] hdd and brand new [Seagate] hdd] AND FOR SOME REASON MY XBOX 1 X MODEL DONT LIKE SEAGATES HDD andi use myy old 500gb toshiba hdd my offline installation was successful only thing i cant use fully complete shutdown mode cause it takes a wile to come on back just use nrmal shutdown or press xbox X button
Please read I wrote alot. So I'm getting an e100 error i just formatted a brand new 1tb hdd same one that orignally came with console using your script and was installing osu1 from a flash key. I get to the point where the restart occurs at around 71% on my system. It restarts and takes me to the power off troubleshoot screen and it says I have an e100. So the system was refurbished but I'm pretty sure the optical drive and mother board are a match because we had the system running well for a few years before the 106 errors started occurring then subsequently the e100s im now seeing. I have two main questions. 1. Is it possible that the e100 error is occurring because a preview dashboard was in use before the 106 errors i tried to fix by formatting a new replacement drive. Still waiting for the newest osu files to be released. Once i have them will I be able to install them and possibly avoid this error from popping back up if its not the true issue. 2. Kind of unrelated to the e100. How does the system know that a preview dashboard was being used. I completely reset the xbox and have installed the new hardrive and have not put in new account information as I can't make it past the offline update. How does the system retain the memory of the preview dashboard without having data from the old hard drive. Is it stored inside the gpu or something? Also how will having the updated osu files help when the most current ones can't operate because of the preview dashboard. Thank you for all the help. I wasn't even able to get the offline update to start without your help. But I've made actual progress so I appreciate it. I have a big expensive computer so this really isn't for me. I'm hoping to have the system fixed up for my dad by Christmas. All this started happening when we weren't able to connect him to the internet and it was like some kind of system cascade failure after I reset the Mac address. Anyways thanks again.
in a different world, you would be a Jedi Master. Thanks to you i just fixed my OG Xbox. Good memories in that ol bastard. I did a board swap cause the thing kept turning off by itself for no particular reason. Turns out the bluray drive was also giving me the error cause i kept the original one. Thankfully the guy who sold me the xboxone was a complete unit and i could easily swap the drive.
Is it possible to repair if I only unconnected the blue ray and the connected it again? Edit: Ive already repaired my one s, and sometimes when this happens after an hdd change, it's because of the new disk not being compatible, mainly because of the brand
I always get this on my Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition but i can always get it working again through hours of persistence by just hard resetting, unplugging and factory resetting over and over again until one time it decides to finally work and get through the update process but more than 90% of the time it will fail and its a very tedious process and happens all the time for me.
I don't have a E100, I have E105 error occasionally. I say occasionally because the error comes up, I then turn my xbox off for a couple hours then turn it back on and it's fine for a few days. It then becomes incredibly slow and everything take long to start (if at all) and then it comes back.
Early model Xbox One X I'm guessing. There are temperature issues at play here. I strongly recommend upgrading to an SSD. I discuss this and possible solutions at the end of my tutorial here: gbatemp.net/threads/xbox-one-internal-hard-drive-upgrade-or-repair-build-any-size-drive-that-works-on-any-console.496212/
Good night friend, how are you? My console, Xbox one FAT is crashing in an update in the application part and whenever I restart it goes back to that same part, I took the hd and did some of the processes of your videos to create the partitions and return to the console with the OSU. But in the same way he returns to the update and just stays there. Would you help me?
so a daughter board without the mechanical parts but still plugged in wont work even if the daughterboard is the original? assuming the board is still good? im going to try this. but i want clerifacationand if so just replacing the mechanical side should solve the e100 UNLESS? the board is got a bad component? alas how would one know without trying and the firmware was just corrupt so the now rebuilt drive that does pair because its the original daughterboard, is repaired by the osu1. which is only for slim systems. please and thanks in advanced.
ive been trying to add a seagate 1tb drive to my XboxS and ive been getting E106 or E100 errors and the new drive stops at 6%. ive cloned the drive which might i add at the very end of the cloning my anti virus freaked out and closed everything saying there was malware... and then ive tried last night as a fresh partition setup install with the USB thumbdrive OSU 1 2 and 3 with no luck.. do you have any tips??
hey i've once took out the blueray drive and put it back in and it still shows the e100 error i tried all the e100 fixes as well i took my old ps4 hard drive didnt work as well
I have actually had E100 errors where it was the hard drive. I replaced a hard drive in an Xbox with an e200 error with a 1tb MDD and got the e100. I tried several times to get it to work and finally just popped in a WD 500gig I had laying here preformatted and viola it loaded right up. Tried the MDD which is brand new, tested 100% health and formatted and got the e100 again. Point is it really means there is a drive issue. Most of the time it's the BD but don't discount the fact it can be the hard drive as well. I've had the same thing happen using a Toshiba as well as a Seagate. For some reason sometimes the Xbox (firmware) just doesn't like the hard drive. Other people have discovered the same thing. You can Google it. I've been working on consoles and PCs since 95 and it's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Great video though.
I‘ve had the same problem, my x-box stuck at 59% while doing the offline-update. afterwards I couldn‘t use another option, no matter what I did wheter I had the USB-stick still in or not, my upload-screen appeared with still 59% and then failing. the only option that worked was re-starting the update but it still failed at the same percentage over and over again. I decided to open my x-box one up (what you really should only do if there‘s no other way because there are cables, small things and stuff you can damage) and pulled the cables out of my hard drive and plugged them in again, same with everything I‘ve found there. after I built my xbox up again, it still showed 59% when trying the update. but I did it over and over again and at some point my screen crushed and was in really bad quality but it managed so load 60% until 100% and I could restart my xbox etc. games were deleted but after login into my microsoft account my last saving point load again and I could keep playing were I finished the last time. idk if it even had something to do with opening the xbox up, but I would suggest to try the offline-update over and over again.
Hopefully this inspires hope for some people. I know it does for me. I had a system that seemed a lost cause but tried again a few months later. As long as you are sure no-one has tampered with your system there is hope. It's the eBay salvage you need to watch out for.
I tried taking apart my xbox one x but thought I had all the right tools but didn't. I think changing the hard drive would resolve my issues. You mentioned you had an ebay service. Does that mean people send consoles to you and you fix them? If yes I'd like to do that. I would go to a local shop but I don't know how familiar they are with installing your scripts.
i have the exact error you had but there’s a loud knocking sound that happens every 10 seconds or so. i also pulled a few coins out of the disc drive and the xbox booted okay after i cleaned out the disc drive. what could i try?
so many XBOX One dead on ebay with this error.. be careful, sellers will mess up with one of the mosfets and sell it as "not power" without returns and once you fixed the mosfet then you find this bummer..
Yeah, I made this video because I had an influx of systems people were buying off eBay without Blu-ray drives, swapped Blu-ray drives, or dead drives and wanting me to fix them.
I am facing E100 error but didn't swapped or replaced anything....except changed BD sata data cable but no result. Any advise pls? I am broken right now same as my xbox one s...
Ok so if you have misplaced or lost the original xbox one disc drive and have a new one already in it how do you fix it? Like is there a way to “pair”the disc drive to the xbox
this guy is a legend because i swapped the disc drives and it still worked but it eventually gave me this error code so i swapped it back to its original and now its updating!!!
Thanks for this - I've been searching for E100 info for the last couple of days since my Xbox One X failed part-way through applying a Preview update and is now displaying this error. Your video saved me some expense as I was likely going to try and replace the HDD, which it seems isn't necessary and likely wouldn't have fixed things anyway. I'd have been disappointed if the HDD had failed to be honest as the system was only bought in January 2018. I'm not sure which of the symptoms you describe applies to my console, but since it's not been opened, I'd guess likely corrupt Blu-Ray firmware? The situation right now is that the console boots immediately to error E100 0000070D 80070003, I can't even get it to display an update screen. I noticed in your video the error for mismatched Blu-Ray drive ended with 80910008, which is different from the error I'm seeing, so that's making me lean towards the issue must be one of the other options. Reset (either keep files or erase everything) reboots straight back to E100 without showing an update screen. Offline Update doesn't yet work as OSU1 is behind my preview software version (27/08/19), so I'm hoping once that is ahead I'll be able to use that to try and restore the system. Failing that, Microsoft want £210 to replace it since it's out of warranty, so I'm reluctant to do that since the update was what seems to have prompted the error.
Kids put 2 * blueray disk inside it. So i popped it open and had to pretty much Split everything appart. Including the blueray itself.. I had it used for maby up to 1 year with the 2 disks inside before i decide to fix it. After i got to remove the 2 disks inside i put it back together and it worked for 2-3 weeks and now i suddenly got this e100 error. I did not change any parts. What can i do? It stops at 53%.
Hello! My Xbox one S had problems with reading discs then after some weeks it wasn't working at all anymore not even starting to read. Now after that in a few weeks I also got E100 error while updating. Is it probably because my blu ray driver died? I mean probably.. do you think if I bring it to service and get the complete driver replaced will help? Thank you!!
I pulled the data cable out of the blueray and accidentally pulled off the data connector block on the blueray drive. Trying to put this back on I damaged the pins. So I purchased a new blueray drive and when I opened them up I have now realised that the pins are directly on the daughter board. Is there ANYTHING I can do here ?
thank you so much!!!! i tried an update and had this error, forgetting ive unplugged the dvd drive lol.. you've saved me so much time and effort! thank you so much
I doged a built my wires were lose check the wires between the Xbox one and power bank make sure to firmly push it in without breaking or roping the wires
Good question. I have some videos planned in the near future and I’m working on a new version of the script written in PowerShell with both a command line and graphical interface. Probably still a couple weeks away from being ready for release. Aside from that I felt like I was just posting the same videos over and over without anything new to say so I took a break until I have something new worth posting.
My xbox series X thats barely 2 weeks old just got this error, is it possible blue ray wires got damaged or something of that sort ? It did 1st system update when i got it fine. But 2nd system update (2 weeks later) i got E100 error. Offline update didnt work
Hello I have an Xbox one x with an alternating e error code, either it's e100 or 102. I plugged the HDD to my computer and I can't see the system support (W:) folder. All others are present. Any ideas what it could it be?
i had an xbox one s with an e100 00000701 80070571 error. not sure if the odd was broken but i replaced the hdd and did the partition and osu update and it seemed to boot. did not test it any further than the sign in screen. tried to plug in original hdd into pc and it seemed corrupted.
I remember the 360 being similar to this. The daughter board in the DVD drive had to match the MB. Can the XB1 be fixed in the same fashion? I recently discovered your channel and I can't get enough! Thanks you for all the info.
Thank you for the question. Unfortunately no. The Xbox One locks/encrypts the Blu-ray drive firmware to the specific motherboard. Since there are no public Xbox One exploits there is no way to unlock/copy/rebuild Blu-ray drive firmware between drives. This was also true of the later model 360 systems which you could only obtain the DVD drive key by RGH-ing the system.
Hi, when i hold the eject and pair buttons to reset i get 1 power up tone quickly followed by power down tone, any idea why? Any help appreciated, thanks
came across e100 error today, turns out xbox had been dropped, when I opened it up, sata cable connecting to blueray drive had popped out, re connected it and it's all good.
You sir, are doing the Lord's work. My xbox one x had a hard drive failure and I followed a combination of your videos and links and was able to not only replace but upgrade my hard drive. The unit is now working better than ever. I did run into an e100 error in the process where it would get stuck during the update, but that is because I had removed the blu ray drive to get to the hard drive but once I plugged it back in I was able to finish the update and the process. Can't thank you enough!
Greatings I've tried to fix the error torugh OSu 1 2 and 3 without getting any result. By the way, If I turn on my console and let it start on its normal way I get the error "E100" , but if I try to solve the from the throubleshoot the error changes to E101. Another issue is that my console is singed in on the insider program, reason I'm wondering: is this issue cause of the error E100?
Interesting idea. Unfortunately not though. Xbox One internal drives have a 2TB limit that you cannot get around. This is a bug or feature by Microsoft's design. The Xbox One cannot see anything beyond the first 2TB of any internal hard disk. The Xbox One lacks standard hardware as well as standard features such as large drive support: www.quora.com/Does-Xbox-One-uses-UEFI-for-its-firmware-to-boot-up
Your the only person i have found that knew this, i had my disc reader disconnected and it wouldn’t update. As soon as i plugged it in it started to work THANK YOU!
Seriously thank you for this video, and thanks for the comment! You both saved me a lot of time!
Yup! Same here. Was panicking before I saw this. This dudes info was awesome
Yup thats me 😂
I wish I had seen this two days ago. I spent hours fiddling with xbox and replacing the hard disk over and over and using the OSU1 boot file and didn't leave 58%. Watching the video, I realized that I did the whole procedure with the console open and the blue-ray disconnected, then reconnected and the process went smoothly. Thank you very much!!
Glad I could help.
I had the exact same experience lol
#metoo
You really need to upload more videos. They always help me improve my knowledge and experience with the Xbox One every time.
Thanks. I plan on doing a bunch of uploads pretty soon. I even have a pretty large backlog of footage which I just need to edit up.
Hey XFIX, I was impressed with your expertise on the error. I went ahead and swapped the motherboards in the Bluray drives and now the drive is responsivewhich is fantastic. This actually solved my problem thanks a million man!!
Great to see another upload XFiX👍 don't leave us so long 😄
I think the reason to e100 errors are more common on one S models is not exactly the console itself, but, as being more accessible, there are more people to buy it as a 4K bluray movie player and entertainment center than people who buy One X models which are a more "enthusiast" focused model and when the laser fails, they exchange the laser incorrectly (and movie discs are more intensive to the laser than game ones which are checked once or twice to read licenses), other than people shutting off during system updates.
I swapped parts from one Xbox to was having an issue to another Xbox that was having a different issue. I figured if I moved some parts around I could get it to work. I never plugged the disk drive back in when I began testing the console. This is the first video I clicked on while searching for solutions, I would have never known. Thank you very much sir!!!
Came here to see if I could fix my console. Left with a pointless “you’re fucked lol”
Having this exact problem, and this is the very best video to inform and educate on what needs to be done and what the actual problem is. I did a HDD replacement and now I am getting this error, so I am going to check out the bluray situation and see what I can find. Thank you very much for isolating this issue and making a bullseye video that hits all of the information properly.
Same thing with me. I replaced my hard drive with a new one and now I’m receiving this issue on Xbox one x.
@@blakemcpherson-smith6741 I had a massive struggle until I took my one x apart one last time, and then carefully inspected the blu ray cables.... and I found that I had it UPSIDE DOWN!! once I flipped it right side up, my problem disappeared. I don't know if this will help you, but I hope it does. it was such an awesome thing to see it working with a new SSD and thermal paste upgrade. Cheers man, and let me know if it works!
Thank God for nerds! We've been trying to fix an Xbox one S for 3 days with an E100 error on the last step of updating. Never thought to make sure the disc drive didn't somehow come disconnected. You're a lifesaver!
E100 is not necessarily bluray drive related. It might arise from a file/folder error in the hard drive. I've just fixed one system which prompted E100 after replacing the hard drive. Aware of the possibility of this situation, the first thing I did after diagnosing the hard drive as failing, I took an old 500GB disk I had and the installation proceeded flawlessly. So, I ordered the new disk and when I installed it, bam!, E100. After several unsuccessful attempts, I took the old disk I previously had used and copied the System Update contents to the new disk and, surprisingly, it completed the software installation and worked just fine.
i had e100 101 102 106 and 105 and offlined update always fail at verifying andi had [1 old [Seagates] hdd and brand new [Seagate] hdd] AND FOR SOME REASON MY XBOX 1 X MODEL DONT LIKE SEAGATES HDD
andi use myy old 500gb toshiba hdd my offline installation was successful only thing i cant use fully complete shutdown mode cause it takes a wile to come on back just use nrmal shutdown or press xbox X button
Thanks for the detailed information! I only watched the first 7 minutes of the video to fix my sons console! Thank you!
did u changed the blue ray ?
Mine got fixed first min
great video very informative , my son unplugged his xbox 0ne s during an update (I don't know why) and on next boot it got stuck at 58% E100 error .... I suspect from you're description he'd interrupted the optical drive portion of the update... thanks fully the OSU1 offline update sorted it...HUGE THANKS from a relieved dad in the UK for sharing you're insights ....lots of information on your vid's that will no doubt come in handy..

E100 isn't necessarily due to the disc drive, or a faulty HDD!
I had an Xbox One X with a faulty Seagate drive (caution on CrystalDiskInfo) and error code E101 I think. Replaced the hard drive with a Toshiba drive of the same size (1TB).
After this I kept getting E100, at boot and after trying an offline system update (straight after verification stage) no matter what I did. Replaced sata cable on the disc drive. No dice. Disc drive still took a disc in and powered up though. I was ready to chalk it up to a faulty disc drive daughter board, but I decided to do more testing.
I then replaced the HDD with an identical Toshiba 1TB; same result. Bear in mind both Toshiba hard drives were healthy (manufactured 2021, model MQ04ABF100 ). I checked the logs in the SystemSupport partition as shown in the video; mine just had 0.log and it was empty. It would fail just after verification so I'm assuming it didn't even try updating.
Finally, I formatted the original Seagate HDD , on Windows using diskpart clean. Installed it back in, it went straight past verification and installed software no problem, if a little slow. No E100.
In conclusion, I think the Xbox one doesn't like certain hard drives. So if you're getting E100, it may not be your disc drive.
Tbh i just came here to thank you ifix you are a god and idk why its been already 2 years and you haven't uploaded more informative content thanks again and i hope you do more of this content thanks
This makes a lot of sense. My 2.5 year old son stuck a Valentine's Day card with a sticker on it in the disc drive of my One S. I opened the system up, since it's out of warranty, to get it out. Disc drive won't read discs now. Which I thought wasn't a huge deal, just get a stand alone Blu Ray player for movies. But now i'm getting the E100 error and stuck at 58%. So it appears that unless I actually replace the disc drive and swap the daughter board i'm kind of SOL. May just be a good time to upgrade to the Series S and sell the One S for parts.
The blu-ray drive being linked to the system is nothing new. The PS3 & PS4 do the same thing. This is why many professional repairers will try and fix the drive itself before replacing it. In the event the do replace it, they try to transfer the board to the new drive. If the board on the drive is fried turning it into Microsoft (or Sony for PlayStation) probably your last option.
This is true and the more people that are aware of this the better.
Turns out the system in this video was the result of the owner having a bad HDMI port but instead of replacing the HDMI port he purchased a replacement motherboard and tossed the original motherboard.
On 2 other occasions I've had multiple system sent to me that were completely Frankensteined together in similar fashion with the same result.
@@mpdavig im going to check the hdmi port. there are two and one works but i thought the other was an output. if iether one goes bad are you saying it can cause a e100? interesting. glad i know how to solder.
Thanks for making this video, i didnt do enough research before replacing the blu ray drive and I got this e100 error.
This video is very informative. I”ll watch it again. My Xbox one fat hdd died on me. It was making clicking sounds. I haven’t taken out the hdd and do some testing. Thank you XFIX for the video.
Upgrade it with an ssd or the sshd. All mine have them even PS4. Totally worth it. They are much more affordable now.
I keep getting the E100 error after replacing the XBox One S or X HDD. It ONLY HAPPENS with 1Tb disks. I've been able to replace 500Gb disks, even 750 and 640 disks, but not the 1 Tb ones. Tried the Linux and Windows methods with no luck. What is going on here? Since October I have not been able to replace 1 Tb disks.
Interesting. E100 is lack of response from the Blu-ray drive which uses the same SATA bus as the HDD. It's possible that the 1TB replacement drive is some how not compatible with the Xbox One. E100 can also appear during an offline update but can be resolved with subsequent retries.
What is the model of your 1TB drive?
Toshiba MQ04ABF100, but I remember trying once with a Seagate HDD and still nothing. I'm ordering a WD Blue 1Tb to see if this fixes the issue. Just finished replacing it with a WD 500Gb, and everything worked perfectly. Thanks!
IT IS A BRAND ISSUE!! The WD Blue worked perfectly!!
Same problem, in my X1S original HDD 500GB (WD5000LUCX) is broken (clicking) and I bought used 1TB Toshiba MQ04ABF100, replaced it and I got E100 :(
WHY?
@@dawidezzomezzo8256 With a WD Blue you can't go wrong. Works perfectly!
I did a HDD -> SSD swap on my Xbox One X and got an E100 error. Turns out when I unplugged the Blu-ray drive from the system the plastic clip pulled out of the drive a little bit so the pins in the drive weren’t contacting the contacts in the plug. I went through the startup error log and found that the system wasn’t detecting the drive. I took a fine tip Philips head and pushed the plastic clip back in the drive so the pins were exposed again. Plugged her in and it started right up.
Thank you. I was getting E100 after putting my console back together after another repair. Turned out I just didn't reconnect the optical drive after positioning it during reassembly. Whoops! This helped me identify where the problem was.
Hi! Excelent explanation.
I have a question. It's possible to "convert" an X-Box One S to an X-Box One S All Digital to avoid this problem with the BDD?
thank you for the concise info. I just got the E100-xxxxxxxxxx error (it ended with a 9) - fortunately though, no hardware repair was needed. I'll explain what happened in case anyone has had a similar issue.
btw this is the OG xbox one.
I've always had a faulty blu ray reader on my xbox. it works but acts buggy and I've had to manually eject the discs (with a paperclip through the hole on the side) many times in the past. anyways, I got the E100 error today, and after trying multiple troubleshooting tips, I simply hit the eject button a few times and what do you know -- it works! it finally finished the update. just an FYI to any OG xbox one users having this problem.
I know this is an older video now, but I figured it's worth a shot. I am having the same issue you have described, but when I open the logs in the support partition, I see a different error. I see "GetOddPhysicalDevice Failed, COddDevice::_Open Failed! Odd Open failed, retry in one second" over and over. Updates hang around 58ish percent as stated. I checked connections, it all looks good. This was a refurb unit, but I've had no issues with it for a few years until now. Why???
Thanks for another great video. The error logs are really useful - they showed in my case that the ODD wasn't detected and I was able to get it back up and running by replacing the SATA data cable. Doesn't appear to be very easy to find an exact replacement cable in Europe. The size and plug orientation is a bit different and it's quite a tight squeeze when everything goes back in. A 13mm clearance is required below the hard drive.
I used this cable instead: 0K322N Dell Poweredge. Was a bit tight but it worked and everything screwed back together nicely.
Had to do the same. Replacing the SATA cable fixd it
HOLY SHIT GUYS READ THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS!!! I I literally think I had the BLU RAY CABLE upside down or something, because it actually worked when I decided to flip the blu ray drive cable upside down!!! I must have had it on the wrong way, because as soon as I plugged it in the update continued without issue! Previously I had plugged / unplugged everything multiple times, but the only thing that fixed it was this! hope this helps anyone out there with this issue. cheers!
Which cable?
@@tylercurtis789 The data cable that goes into the blu ray drive. The system will not update properly if it does not properly recognize the drive and will stay stuck. As soon as you have it on properly, it will continue (at least in my case). I couldn't figure out what was wrong but I flipped it upside right and it went on with no issues.
@@kalhamm3r thank you I will give it a try. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is the clearing the hard drive itself or moving the IC from a donor PCB to my original board like Andrew Paul suggested.
Damn so you saying it would be easier to just buy a new one?
2020 i agree
@@ivancarrizales7795 same, its such bs
😂
Well not unless you swap the daughter board it actually isn’t hard
@siztix only issue with that is once people ain’t able to talk anymore on the consoles I feel like there might be a huge shift. I like both consoles so I got no actual opinion they’re both good consoles lmao
Finally! Thank you so much! You are the only one that makes a lot of sense. Please continue making videos like these. I will defined sub!
My Xbox keeps on like freezing or not listen, and when I load a game it crashes and I start the game up again and random error keep on coming when I try to load the game ect
Bro... this was so awesome for me. I had replaced my blu ray drive in my xbox one and I watched a video that left out the swapping of the daughter board. So when I turned the xbox on with the new drive there was this new E100 error and I was thinking, great what did I screw up now?? When i started your video, you explained how the problem is related to the swapping of the boards in the blu ray drive. So, I swapped the boards and viola! Thanks so much for making this important video!
Kept getting this error code on my Xsx. tried everything then saw this video. I had removed my disc drive awhile back so all I simply had to do was reconnect my disc drive and system was able to update. Thank you!!
I wish I would have seen this a week ago. I have spent hours messing with the xbox and replacing the hard drive over and over and using the OSU1 boot up file. Stops at 58% each time. Now I am going to search for your blue ray repair video, I hope you have one.
Ah, so Microsoft has just cost me a couple hundred bucks for literally no reason. Good to know.
Funny how everyones been getting this in the past year hmmm
Microsoft can easily send out another patch to buy pass this , but will they?
i know i just got it and the new event just came out in Apex😭😭😭i don’t even know what the hard drive is…i’m so lost.btw they are doing this so that we have to get a new xbox.Iphone does that too and it’s working
This guy has no idea what he's talking about look at my comment there's videos all over TH-cam and the net on how to marry a new disc drive or hdd
You've just earned another sub bro keep goin🔥🔥
So if I swapped dvd drives and don’t have the original one anymore I’m screwed ? I threw it away and don’t have the daughter board to put in the new disc drive
I broke my drive trying to fix the drive so I am royally screwed time to take my hard drive and buy a new console
Same!
I just had the E100 this today. Opened up my xbox and the 2 blu-ray cables connected to the motherboard were completely disconnected WTF how did that happen must have been some kind of chip creep situation with heat or something.. XB is working again. THANKS DUDE FOR THIS VIDEO.
what if it is the same exact disk drive as bafore but there was something stuck in it and that is why e100 error
Is it likely security put in place so that people don't replace the Blu-Ray drive with a device that uses an SSD/HDD with a device that emulates the Xbox One Blu-Ray Drive?
Yes, you hit the nail on the head here. It’s unfortunate that these extra security measures also affect legitimate customers, particularly in their wallets.
This happens with the Wii U too, the drive has to match the motherboard or it doesnt work. The best way to fix is to replace just the laser lens.
I'm wondering if the GUID of the Blu-Ray drive is tied to the motherboard, as in the Motherboard checks for a matching GUID. So in order for Drive emulation to work, one must have the GUID of the Blu-Ray drive for the Drive emulator to pass on to the Motherboard. You'd need some sort of 'Middle Man' attack a SATA Sniffer if you will.
I doubt Microsoft will employ a 'Security Chip' in their Blu-Ray drives, as this would be more costly to manufacture. I assume they'd be following Sony's Reference Spec.
I assume it is the BIOS on the Motherboard that does this check.
I've seen the files of the installed games, they appear to have a Hash of some description in their File Names. When a Blu-Ray disk is inserted, an authentication check must occur allowing you to run the game.
I am assuming that a game and all it's files are placed within a container file. When the game has passed authentication it Mounts the associated file. I wonder if it is worth mounting one of those files within Linux with known Filesystems to see if this is true. NTFS I assume.
All this is out of scope for a typical User.
I in 'No Way' condone Piracy, by the way.
Scratch that
Did manage to find an application that makes Xbox One formatted drives readable on Windows.
There are .xvi .xct files 4kB each and a file with no extension that seems to contain the Game data due to it's larger file size.
I am reading forum posts and the jist I got, was that DRM/Encyrption is involved. So not as simple as mounting the file under a specific file system.
There is nothing to stop you from backing up the installation files (I assume), then retrieving the installation files later should failure occur.
Ive searched online for 3 days no one knows what u know if u hadnt told me what error e100 was id have given up thank u so much !!!!
Why isn’t it possible to put a Xbox one all digital edition firmware too the hdd? The whole Xbox one all digital ist identical to the one s

i had e100 101 102 106 and 105 and offlined update always fail at verifying andi had [1 old [Seagates] hdd and brand new [Seagate] hdd] AND FOR SOME REASON MY XBOX 1 X MODEL DONT LIKE SEAGATES HDD

Please read I wrote alot.
So I'm getting an e100 error i just formatted a brand new 1tb hdd same one that orignally came with console using your script and was installing osu1 from a flash key. I get to the point where the restart occurs at around 71% on my system. It restarts and takes me to the power off troubleshoot screen and it says I have an e100.
So the system was refurbished but I'm pretty sure the optical drive and mother board are a match because we had the system running well for a few years before the 106 errors started occurring then subsequently the e100s im now seeing.
I have two main questions.
1. Is it possible that the e100 error is occurring because a preview dashboard was in use before the 106 errors i tried to fix by formatting a new replacement drive. Still waiting for the newest osu files to be released. Once i have them will I be able to install them and possibly avoid this error from popping back up if its not the true issue.
2. Kind of unrelated to the e100.
How does the system know that a preview dashboard was being used. I completely reset the xbox and have installed the new hardrive and have not put in new account information as I can't make it past the offline update. How does the system retain the memory of the preview dashboard without having data from the old hard drive. Is it stored inside the gpu or something? Also how will having the updated osu files help when the most current ones can't operate because of the preview dashboard.
Thank you for all the help. I wasn't even able to get the offline update to start without your help. But I've made actual progress so I appreciate it.
I have a big expensive computer so this really isn't for me. I'm hoping to have the system fixed up for my dad by Christmas. All this started happening when we weren't able to connect him to the internet and it was like some kind of system cascade failure after I reset the Mac address. Anyways thanks again.
Question: what about the all digital versions of the xbox one s?
in a different world, you would be a Jedi Master. Thanks to you i just fixed my OG Xbox. Good memories in that ol bastard. I did a board swap cause the thing kept turning off by itself for no particular reason. Turns out the bluray drive was also giving me the error cause i kept the original one. Thankfully the guy who sold me the xboxone was a complete unit and i could easily swap the drive.
Many thanks! Your job is very important!
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!
Is it possible to repair if I only unconnected the blue ray and the connected it again?
Edit: Ive already repaired my one s, and sometimes when this happens after an hdd change, it's because of the new disk not being compatible, mainly because of the brand
I always get this on my Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition but i can always get it working again through hours of persistence by just hard resetting, unplugging and factory resetting over and over again until one time it decides to finally work and get through the update process but more than 90% of the time it will fail and its a very tedious process and happens all the time for me.
I don't have a E100, I have E105 error occasionally. I say occasionally because the error comes up, I then turn my xbox off for a couple hours then turn it back on and it's fine for a few days. It then becomes incredibly slow and everything take long to start (if at all) and then it comes back.
Early model Xbox One X I'm guessing. There are temperature issues at play here. I strongly recommend upgrading to an SSD. I discuss this and possible solutions at the end of my tutorial here: gbatemp.net/threads/xbox-one-internal-hard-drive-upgrade-or-repair-build-any-size-drive-that-works-on-any-console.496212/
What if it's a 102 error goes through the set up but my USB will not pick up my external hdd
Good night friend, how are you? My console, Xbox one FAT is crashing in an update in the application part and whenever I restart it goes back to that same part, I took the hd and did some of the processes of your videos to create the partitions and return to the console with the OSU. But in the same way he returns to the update and just stays there. Would you help me?
so a daughter board without the mechanical parts but still plugged in wont work even if the daughterboard is the original? assuming the board is still good? im going to try this. but i want clerifacationand if so just replacing the mechanical side should solve the e100 UNLESS? the board is got a bad component? alas how would one know without trying and the firmware was just corrupt so the now rebuilt drive that does pair because its the original daughterboard, is repaired by the osu1. which is only for slim systems. please and thanks in advanced.
ive been trying to add a seagate 1tb drive to my XboxS and ive been getting E106 or E100 errors and the new drive stops at 6%. ive cloned the drive which might i add at the very end of the cloning my anti virus freaked out and closed everything saying there was malware... and then ive tried last night as a fresh partition setup install with the USB thumbdrive OSU 1 2 and 3 with no luck.. do you have any tips??
hey i've once took out the blueray drive and put it back in and it still shows the e100 error i tried all the e100 fixes as well i took my old ps4 hard drive didnt work as well
I have actually had E100 errors where it was the hard drive. I replaced a hard drive in an Xbox with an e200 error with a 1tb MDD and got the e100. I tried several times to get it to work and finally just popped in a WD 500gig I had laying here preformatted and viola it loaded right up. Tried the MDD which is brand new, tested 100% health and formatted and got the e100 again. Point is it really means there is a drive issue. Most of the time it's the BD but don't discount the fact it can be the hard drive as well. I've had the same thing happen using a Toshiba as well as a Seagate. For some reason sometimes the Xbox (firmware) just doesn't like the hard drive. Other people have discovered the same thing. You can Google it. I've been working on consoles and PCs since 95 and it's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Great video though.
I‘ve had the same problem, my x-box stuck at 59% while doing the offline-update. afterwards I couldn‘t use another option, no matter what I did wheter I had the USB-stick still in or not, my upload-screen appeared with still 59% and then failing. the only option that worked was re-starting the update but it still failed at the same percentage over and over again. I decided to open my x-box one up (what you really should only do if there‘s no other way because there are cables, small things and stuff you can damage) and pulled the cables out of my hard drive and plugged them in again, same with everything I‘ve found there. after I built my xbox up again, it still showed 59% when trying the update. but I did it over and over again and at some point my screen crushed and was in really bad quality but it managed so load 60% until 100% and I could restart my xbox etc. games were deleted but after login into my microsoft account my last saving point load again and I could keep playing were I finished the last time.
idk if it even had something to do with opening the xbox up, but I would suggest to try the offline-update over and over again.
Hopefully this inspires hope for some people. I know it does for me. I had a system that seemed a lost cause but tried again a few months later. As long as you are sure no-one has tampered with your system there is hope. It's the eBay salvage you need to watch out for.
Mine always gets stick at 59 too it happens every update and I've fixed it before but rn it's not working
conan - mine wouldn’t even do the offline update
No No even with the USB-stick?
conan - yeah I just sent it too microsoft
I tried taking apart my xbox one x but thought I had all the right tools but didn't. I think changing the hard drive would resolve my issues. You mentioned you had an ebay service. Does that mean people send consoles to you and you fix them? If yes I'd like to do that. I would go to a local shop but I don't know how familiar they are with installing your scripts.
i have the exact error you had but there’s a loud knocking sound that happens every 10 seconds or so. i also pulled a few coins out of the disc drive and the xbox booted okay after i cleaned out the disc drive. what could i try?
so many XBOX One dead on ebay with this error.. be careful, sellers will mess up with one of the mosfets and sell it as "not power" without returns and once you fixed the mosfet then you find this bummer..
Yeah, I made this video because I had an influx of systems people were buying off eBay without Blu-ray drives, swapped Blu-ray drives, or dead drives and wanting me to fix them.
Bro no way dude thank you so much only guy online that has helps me fix my Xbox dude 10/10 ❤
Can I get more information about your eBay service, I want to upgrade my XB1X to 2TB SSD
I am facing E100 error but didn't swapped or replaced anything....except changed BD sata data cable but no result. Any advise pls? I am broken right now same as my xbox one s...
Ok so if you have misplaced or lost the original xbox one disc drive and have a new one already in it how do you fix it? Like is there a way to “pair”the disc drive to the xbox
I don't have ba disk drve in my Xbox is that the problem
What if i buy a used bluray from another xbox on ebay
this guy is a legend because i swapped the disc drives and it still worked but it eventually gave me this error code so i swapped it back to its original and now its updating!!!
Thanks for this - I've been searching for E100 info for the last couple of days since my Xbox One X failed part-way through applying a Preview update and is now displaying this error. Your video saved me some expense as I was likely going to try and replace the HDD, which it seems isn't necessary and likely wouldn't have fixed things anyway. I'd have been disappointed if the HDD had failed to be honest as the system was only bought in January 2018.
I'm not sure which of the symptoms you describe applies to my console, but since it's not been opened, I'd guess likely corrupt Blu-Ray firmware? The situation right now is that the console boots immediately to error E100 0000070D 80070003, I can't even get it to display an update screen. I noticed in your video the error for mismatched Blu-Ray drive ended with 80910008, which is different from the error I'm seeing, so that's making me lean towards the issue must be one of the other options.
Reset (either keep files or erase everything) reboots straight back to E100 without showing an update screen. Offline Update doesn't yet work as OSU1 is behind my preview software version (27/08/19), so I'm hoping once that is ahead I'll be able to use that to try and restore the system. Failing that, Microsoft want £210 to replace it since it's out of warranty, so I'm reluctant to do that since the update was what seems to have prompted the error.
I'm having this issue currently after initiating a failed system update. Did you get to fix the problem and how please?
Do I have to put the front part of the Xbox back on or can I leave it off
so what is the cause of e100 on an all digital xbox one s?
Kids put 2 * blueray disk inside it. So i popped it open and had to pretty much Split everything appart. Including the blueray itself.. I had it used for maby up to 1 year with the 2 disks inside before i decide to fix it. After i got to remove the 2 disks inside i put it back together and it worked for 2-3 weeks and now i suddenly got this e100 error. I did not change any parts. What can i do? It stops at 53%.
can you show where the xbox one s soldering points to add led stripes are?
Hello! My Xbox one S had problems with reading discs then after some weeks it wasn't working at all anymore not even starting to read. Now after that in a few weeks I also got E100 error while updating. Is it probably because my blu ray driver died? I mean probably.. do you think if I bring it to service and get the complete driver replaced will help? Thank you!!
I pulled the data cable out of the blueray and accidentally pulled off the data connector block on the blueray drive. Trying to put this back on I damaged the pins. So I purchased a new blueray drive and when I opened them up I have now realised that the pins are directly on the daughter board.
Is there ANYTHING I can do here ?
Can I put the original disc drive back in to fix
thank you so much!!!! i tried an update and had this error, forgetting ive unplugged the dvd drive lol.. you've saved me so much time and effort! thank you so much
I swap my Blu-ray Drive like a dummy because mine stopped working well never worked if I swept back to the original will it work again
I'm getting the error even though the blueray is the one came with it ?
Hey are you gonna do the HDD upgrades for the Series X.
I doged a built my wires were lose check the wires between the Xbox one and power bank make sure to firmly push it in without breaking or roping the wires
why dont u post anymore?
Good question.
I have some videos planned in the near future and I’m working on a new version of the script written in PowerShell with both a command line and graphical interface. Probably still a couple weeks away from being ready for release.
Aside from that I felt like I was just posting the same videos over and over without anything new to say so I took a break until I have something new worth posting.
My xbox series X thats barely 2 weeks old just got this error, is it possible blue ray wires got damaged or something of that sort ? It did 1st system update when i got it fine. But 2nd system update (2 weeks later) i got E100 error. Offline update didnt work
If I put the original disk drive back in, will it work?
Hello I have an Xbox one x with an alternating e error code, either it's e100 or 102. I plugged the HDD to my computer and I can't see the system support (W:) folder. All others are present. Any ideas what it could it be?
Very informative. Thanks!
Im having this issue on Fat, what could be the cause?
i had an xbox one s with an e100 00000701 80070571 error. not sure if the odd was broken but i replaced the hdd and did the partition and osu update and it seemed to boot. did not test it any further than the sign in screen. tried to plug in original hdd into pc and it seemed corrupted.
So I got a question I have the e102 error and it will not even factory reset or anything what do i do?
I remember the 360 being similar to this. The daughter board in the DVD drive had to match the MB. Can the XB1 be fixed in the same fashion? I recently discovered your channel and I can't get enough! Thanks you for all the info.
Thank you for the question. Unfortunately no. The Xbox One locks/encrypts the Blu-ray drive firmware to the specific motherboard. Since there are no public Xbox One exploits there is no way to unlock/copy/rebuild Blu-ray drive firmware between drives.
This was also true of the later model 360 systems which you could only obtain the DVD drive key by RGH-ing the system.
I have the digital version with e100 error and it's stuck in the loop what should I do ?
Hi, when i hold the eject and pair buttons to reset i get 1 power up tone quickly followed by power down tone, any idea why? Any help appreciated, thanks
Thank you for giving this advice and tips and to looking closer to errors. By watching what was wrong I was able to fix my Xbox one.
you really fix my problem i love u man, thanks so much i realle apreciate this video so happy
I fix mine but I think I lost all my save data in the process
came across e100 error today, turns out xbox had been dropped, when I opened it up, sata cable connecting to blueray drive had popped out, re connected it and it's all good.
s7473 man I think mine got dropped and idk it doesn’t upload fast anymore it takes about four hours now you think I should open it up
You sir, are doing the Lord's work. My xbox one x had a hard drive failure and I followed a combination of your videos and links and was able to not only replace but upgrade my hard drive. The unit is now working better than ever. I did run into an e100 error in the process where it would get stuck during the update, but that is because I had removed the blu ray drive to get to the hard drive but once I plugged it back in I was able to finish the update and the process. Can't thank you enough!
Greatings
I've tried to fix the error torugh OSu 1 2 and 3 without getting any result.
By the way, If I turn on my console and let it start on its normal way I get the error "E100" , but if I try to solve the from the throubleshoot the error changes to E101.
Another issue is that my console is singed in on the insider program, reason I'm wondering: is this issue cause of the error E100?
Is there a way to tell if the motherboard and daughter board in the BD Drive are the matching? Maybe parts of the serial code are the same?
Can you put back the og disc drive in the xbox
Can I just remove the disk drive??? Will it run without it???
IS THERE A WAY to partition a 5tb hard drive in an xbox one x to 2tb internal and 3tb external?
Interesting idea. Unfortunately not though. Xbox One internal drives have a 2TB limit that you cannot get around. This is a bug or feature by Microsoft's design.
The Xbox One cannot see anything beyond the first 2TB of any internal hard disk.
The Xbox One lacks standard hardware as well as standard features such as large drive support:
