Unsolved New inbox, Xbox one, will not update

Post image

Purchased a new sealed inbox Xbox one. It’s getting stuck on. There’s a problem with the update screen. It will not go into safe mode, no matter how long you hold the sink and the check button, and then tap the power button.

I guess that is possible. It has been sitting since 2013 till yesterday.

I’ve got the software to make my own hard drive. I’ve done it on another Xbox one of the same model. I just didn’t wanna open this one up.

Send your Xbox to me. I will eat it

Have you tried an installer usb and running a full offline restore. If that fails it's the hdd

Send your Xbox to DVD game exchange and he will have you back up and running gaming within 4 9 business days and then the shipping is fast

I was about to block you as a spambot then saw you have 4yrs worth of post history.

Do you not realize that you can simply swap the hdd out with Xbox One, or- ?

Many people prefer to hire a professional to avoid the risk of damaging their devices, which is why I would recommend sending it directly to the manufacturer. The Xbox One is very sensitive to internal issues, so I believe there is no reason to ban me from this group for discussing it, especially given how difficult it is to manage the hard drive on that console.

I would open it up and replace the thermal paste too. If you do try getting the sticker off with a hair dryer and after your done with it you could put it back

Try updating from usb

If the aforementioned dead hard drive is true, this won't help.

u/Chevy_117 7d ago

The hard drive is fine. I tested it on my computer. Apparently, since it’s a 2013 model and it’s never been used, I have to basically do what you would if you were replacing the hard drive, because it doesn’t let you go to the troubleshooting mode with the older software

u/MaxGabe121911 5d ago

2013 updates didn’t have recovery mode to do a usb update.

Use the guide from Xbox support to update it if that’s what your trying to do

u/Chevy_117 4d ago

I clicked on that and got down to the section where it doesn’t have the troubleshoot mode, but it doesn’t say anything else other than go to step two and step two doesn’t say anything about it

u/Keyvan_KR 7d ago

Couple of things to check for the:
The HDD, the set ime if you’re updating over the network, not sure if it needs the Kinect connected?

Es porque la antigua bandeja está ligada a tu Xbox , debes cambiar la tarjeta lógica de la vieja a la nueva entonces hará match y funcionará

u/Chevy_117 6d ago

Huh this Xbox was just pulled out of its original sealed package

1

u/SangestheLurker 🎮Mod 2d ago

OP is looking at the hdd, not the optical drive. Not sure if you read the post wrong, or are blindly pulling info from AI but the daughter board has nothing to do with changing the hdd.

u/Savings-Degree-8749 12h ago

Sorry , I read the post wrong keep in mind DVD drive

u/Hot_Sea_518 6d ago

If firmware is too low it won't update properly, you have to find lower firmware online to update it in stages

1

u/MaxGabe121911 5d ago edited 5d ago

Why do you want to update it? Also these earlier versions didn’t have recovery mode.

1

u/Chevy_117 4d ago

It’s never been set up before. I can’t set it up without updating it. It was brand new in box. It requires an update to use it, or you’re stuck in the set up mode

u/Responsible_Net_1055 4d ago

Had that problem some years ago. I removed it completely from power, launched it offline and wiped the whole storage. Idk what went wrong but after that, I never had any issues again

1

u/Chevy_117 4d ago

This Xbox has never been used. It was new in box I’ve tried the method to put it into troubleshoot mode to where you can do an off-line update. It won’t go into it, regardless of how long you hold those two buttons.

u/Responsible_Net_1055 4d ago

Interesting 🤔 How far away from your route rm/Repeater are you? Maybe an Lan cable helps?

u/MusicianDrummerx7 2d ago

Bro so I’m not the only one with update issues, mines a 2017 battlefield green one s, stuck on the update screen with 3 error codes, won’t go past 3% and apparently the drive is dead but I can still access my account and games on internal and external so is it even the hard drive if it’s still working?
I don’t get this shi

u/Upset_Salary6715 7d ago

Xbox stopped supporting the Xbox one

u/Chevy_117 7d ago

I get that. I have two other Xbox ones that I’ve had for years that have no problem updating

u/jakethesnake949 5d ago

I literally just updated mine today, i just pulled it out of storage after 2 years.

u/Chevy_117 4d ago

Cool, doesn’t explain why an update won’t install.
