Little tip: If you’re in the Insider Program, your Xbox WILL NOT be able to be restored with OSU. You’ll have to put the original drive back in and remove it from Insider. That’s what caught me up, and I just want to put it out there if anyone else is having trouble.
Where people get preview builds of the OS. It's also noted that if your drive fails with a preview build, you have to wait for the latest public release of the OS, for the OSU file to install the OS on a new drive. You cannot downgrade to an older OS. So take note what OS build you have in case your drive fails.
@@mariodiy4517have the og slot vent one which osu do I download and will I have to keep swapping the 2 drives back and forth each update that seems incredibly tedious especially with that power ribbon
OSU 1 will not fix E200 error ?I am not sure if my Xbox one was or not in the Insider program..how can I check that?Got it second hand and with this E200 error..
MAKE SURE YOUR BLU-RAY is CONNECTED!!! I chased this around for hours because I was only plugging the hard drive into the opened up system and trying to restore from there. I kept getting to the verification 100% and then E100 error. Plugged in the blu-ray and boom. Done!
So basically what you said at 18:50 is allowing the Xbox to sleep on it’s own with power-save mode corrupts the hdd faster? Or is that with instant start up? Is it better to shut it down through the controller or the settings..? And does leaving the Xbox on for hours on the home screen eventually corrupt it too? (My brother always did that to the point where the Xbox stopped turning on.). Ordered a 1tb Seagate HDD from Amazon and it comes tomorrow, I already have my USB set up with the OSU1 and bootup animation, and my Xbox is already taken apart and ready to go for tomorrow lol. I’ll update here if it works! Update: It worked!! Thank you! Even though I put the boot-up animation in the $SystemUpdate file, I have no boot-up animation lol, but I’ll wait and see if it fixes itself. Will update if it does. Update: After about 3 days of turning my Xbox on without the bootup animation, it fixed itself! Now my happiness is complete 🥲
I still got error message during offiline update "E101 00000504 8B050041" and cannot proceed. I try to replace samsung 870 qvo ssd for my Xbox X. Also, I got not enough space for A & B in System Update (X:) partition due to large size of the OSU1
Hello! this is my tip for change the HDD.. I was try in 4 or 5 Xbox One tring with diferent brand of hdd (Toshiba, Seagate and others) and all give me error 0100 .. 0101.. the only brand that i can do the change was WESTERN DIGITAL. just put this brand and VOILA! (Sorry my english)
I tried to upgrade my hdd. The thing is the eject button turns on the xbox. I cant hold sync, eject and then press power. Why does my xbox power on with the eject button? It is phat xbox one 500gb. The xbox now has beep on, 5 seconds then beep off issue.
I WISH I SAW YOUR VIDEO FIRST! you are the ONLY person to mention the insider program. you can however unenroll first before doing this adn wait for your xbox to revert to an older update (can take up to 3 days) but you have to do this before you start the upgrade process and do the osu1. i didnt know this and now have to wait until the next update to finish upgrading my xbox
I appreciate it, I had trouble at first but I had to format my hdd to ntsf and it finally recognized the hard drive so I could update it with a usb, I was starting to worry. I used a seagate barracuda 2tb, now I won’t have a slow ass Xbox one, woohoo.
Thank you very much! you are always my go-to for even the smallest doubts, to the points of replaying your videos to observe your technique everytime i need to replace a component. I guess this is the end of an era, i owe you a lot, and we owe a warm thank you an good bye to XfiX's magnificent tool, im still keeping it right in the middle of my desktop for any details.
there is a problem, the 2021 way did not work for me, and now using the old method when I install a 1tb drive the update partition is too small to copy the files into a and b
@@adelacosta6886 use partition manager like AOMEI PARTITION ASSISTANT and right click on SYSTEM UPDATE merge you unallocated space on the SYSTEM UPDATE FILE and if you need more space RIGHT CLICK ON USER AND SPLIT IT THEN ADD IT TO YOUR SYSTEM UPDATE
HI THERE I HAVE REAL PROBLEM HERE. THE NEW UPDATE VERSION IS 6.14GB WHEN THE (X UPDATE PARTITION HAS ONLY 11.99GB ) giving error that need more 180mb space? do you have new partition script because old gonna make the same 11.99gb ??
The boot animation files were added to the OSU, so they were not part of the installation, hence not copied. Was there any file that you could edit for the installer to read them too? Thnx!
Computer tech here. Was working on a system that came into shop, and tried every software fix, and pulled drive out like a computer and determined it was failing. Once a new drive was installed, system allowed itself to be updated and used.
For some reason my Xbox one s wont allow any other hard drive in the system other then the Original , Trying to replace it with SSD but it wont work. Same SSD works in a Different Xbox one s no Problems. System just don't allow the offline update, Quits as soon as it is started. Any one have a similar issue that they have found a fix for?
I couldn't install my ssd on my xbox one x using this method, it just wouldn't do the offline update. So i did it the old way using the script to format the ssd and it still wouldn't do the offline update. but finally i got my ssd to install the update and here's how i did it: On the pc format the ssd / hdd using the script xboxonehdd-master-9 when the script is done use a disk management tool ( i used disk genius) to expand the system update 1 partition. I expanded it with about 500MB You need to expand it to be able to copy all the files from the OSU1 in there twice create an A and B folder in the system update 1 partition and copy all the files from OSU1 to the A folder and also to the B folder. Also copy the bootanim.dat file to both A and B folders., when it's done place the SSD / HDD back into the xbox and turn on the machine and it will start installing the OS without the need to do it from a USB drive !!!
@@holycrapski Hi Thanks for your reply. I used a brand new SSD out of the box (crucial mx500) but got stuck in a loop at 1% and turning back to the troubleshoot screen so i though i'm gonna try it with the script and drop all the files in there so i didn't have to put the bootanimation file there later after installing the OS on the xbox. i saw later that the old osu1 is smaller than the new one. But the new one was the one i had downloaded from microsoft so i used that one and as more people in the comments here were having problems with shortage of space in the system update partition i posted my solution here. I didn't mind losing 500 mb of storage space because on a 1 or 2 tb drive 500 mb is nothing
This is a brilliant and thorough guide. I’ve just upgraded my working Xbox One X from its original 1TB hard drive to a 2TB Samsung SSD, and I’m installing my games again now. No issues at all, and the speed seems great so far -I had the video running at 1.5X while I installed, and mine was installing at about the same pace :D
Your xbox doesn’t get to the third bip? Same thing happened to me it was because of the usb flash drive format, make sure you format it to NTFS but more important in the part in the Allocation Unit Size select the first one in the list is named “Default”. I worked for me. Good luck!!
Love the video. Very in depth and explains errors and things that other videos do not touch on. Unfortunately, none of this worked for me. I think my XBOX One S is done! Error after error never getting past about 7%. I have tried different usb sticks and varying sized drives of over 500GB and I get nothing each time. I am not quite sure but maybe I was part of the Insider update ring and that has got me stumped for now. Anyway, the video was great and it gave me some juice to keep trying for a bit longer until I felt I had done everything. Thanks for the hard work on the video Andy.
is it possible to install the OSU without a pair or power button? I have lost the front panel and have a barebones console. Done this process before but now I am here again. The troubleshooter menu comes up but offline update is greyed out. error 106
I found out it was my USB port that was bad. Either way I have a solution if you have a working old drive. simply use the xbox format tool to format a new ssd. then attach old xbox hdd to pc. have a nice chunk of free space to copy each partitions contents exactly as is onto the new formatted ssd. you will have to do this bit a partition at a time if 1 data adaptor. and limited space on the win 10 pc. you can skip the user content if you do not want the games its a grind but if you finally made it through all of it and copied each partition contents exactly as is. Now use the format tool to check the new ssd for errors. This will correct any issues you may have if the drives you are using / swapping are different sizes. as long as your old drive was running the latest OSU1 file than the above method will work As an example, I installed the latest OSU1 but it was a 1tb HDD that went bad quickly. I used the above method to replicate the drive onto a 500gb ssd
Hi I have a situation that my roommate turned off the Xbox One S Digital Edition probably while it was updating , and now for some reason it refuses to turn on(show display) , nor I can go to the troubleshoot pages. What would be the solution to my problem, if someone has encountered a similar situation in the past?
Awesome tutorial, MS support page says to use OSU 2/3 file on original Xbox one but these gave error when I tried to install them. I thought that I made some mistakes somewhere but it turns out that you need OSU 1 and all is good. Good thing I found this tutorial and resolved my problem.
Im beginning to wonder if the thing where the console creates the partitions is something that microsoft added to the firmware as a result of the next gen consoles using non standard SSDs (which is modular, fortunatly, unlike the PS5 where it is soldered to the board), especially if the now previous gen and the next gen use pretty much the same firmware I must have had that thought in my head for at least the last 24 hours or so
Having the same thought right now. My one x lasted barely a year and a half and there is people I know with 7 years on a box. This is fucking bullshit.
I was having this same issue a while back. I had to adjust the code for the Xbox format GUI and then it worked but still no 2TB. On Windows the 2TB read as 1.8GB and I figured it wasn't a big deal but I guess so? @@AndrewPaul
Now that Microsoft have made the process easier, I’m kind of tempted to swap the 1TB HDD in my Xbox One X for a 2TB SSD (although once i finally get an Xbox Series X, my Xbox One X won’t see as much use)
I am in the process of doing the ssd swap. I have replaced the drive and put console back together and now I just keep getting error codes. And it will not accept the osu1.
And now during my 3rd attempt, the step to sign in with a Microsoft account just loops continously. I cycled the power and restarted and it's back to E105. Crazy frustrated.
It might not be the hard drive then but the sata connecter, they are a bit expensive but you can engineer your own I remember seeing a good video about it but I don’t remember what it’s called
Hi Paul great video. Run into problems trying this now as the system update file is to big for the partition. I installed into file A onto system update (x:) this partition is 11.9gb the file placed into file A is 6.61 GB so when I copy this to file B it is to big. I did try your new video and had no luck so thought I would try a diffrent way and came across your older video, bit stuck now but I will try the newer option again and see what happens but I can't get it to do 3 beeps, I'm holding down sync and eject button tap the power while holding down that two buttons, it just shuts off after 5 seconds
I've got a very interesting scenario with my Xbox that I've yet to find a solution online so I hope your insight can help me to resolve my situation. I have an original Xbox one that hasn't been used before. When I turned it on it said update failed but didn't give me an error code. Tried to install OSU1, however no matter how many times I've tried to go into troubleshooting mode it simple doesn't allow it, when I do it correctly it doesn't give three beeps it simply stays on a black screen until I let it go of the buttons and then it just does a normal boot. I then tried to reformat the hard drive on the Xbox but I still run into the same problem. I think I might know a solution, is it possible to format the hard drive in a certain way that it'll force it to go into troubleshooting mode on startup without doing the button sequence? If so then please let me know. Thanks.
THE OSU 1 FILE DOSENT OPEN IT STARTS TO OPEN A PAGE THEN IT CLOSES ON OITS SELF BACK TO THIS PAGE??? PLEASE HELPZ, LOL. THE OLDER VERSION AND ONE IVE GOT FROM microsoft today, dont work?
really appreciate you telling us what can go wrong and how to potentially get around it. so many tutorials are on pristine kits that 'just work' first time, so rarely do you get help troubleshooting the problems :) . my hd died about a month after buying the xbox1 years ago, so ive done this once before, but it was before MS officially made it possible. glad to see MS giving us legit and 'easy' tools to install the os :) . will be following along when i finally get of my ass to upgrade to an ssd, as kinda dislike the loading times on my hhd :) . ridiculous that you lose 400gb from a 2tb drive though.
Thank you so very much. I had my xbox apart during this process. Just to make sure things went smoothly and to make sure I didn't need to do anything else. Not ideal I know. But it is going through. I did have an E100 error but that was 100% on me because I didn't have the blu-ray player installed in the system. Quick fix and it got past the part I was getting stuck at. Everything worked properly. I had a little snag when I was trying to get the boot animation. I had to add a letter to the partition to access the files. I was able to put the files in and now have the boot animation. After all of that my xbox is running just fine and is put back together with a new 1TB SSD. I have to reinstall all of my games, which isn't an issue since I mainly play on PC, but there are a few games not on PC that are on Xbox (MLB The Show) I noticed an immediate improvement of download speed. I spent hours trying to clone my drive and it wasn't working, I was getting frustrated. I'm glad there was another way to get it done. I know I could've spent money on a new series X. But a 1TB SSD is a lot cheaper.
Hi, I have followed the advice in the video but unfortunately I’m getting error E102. I get 3 beeps but it only loads up the trouble shooting screen. Tried a factory restore but still the same issue. Any ideas please ?
Did a 2tb ssd (samsung 870 qvo) install, Osu1 via formatted usb (ntfs) 2 % .... and error e101 Do i need a usb3.0 stick? Or usb2.0 is good enough Any ideas?
hi there, i followed every step in this video to fix my e100 error. At 3 stage of the update it turned off like it said and after that is showed again that there is the e 100 error. what should I do. Please help
what should i do if my xbox will not do the three beeps? ive tried a bunch of times and it just beeps once and then after a minute or two it just turns itself off
having the same issue after installing new ssd, i cannot get the troubleshoot page or display. Cant get the beeps with sync and power button. did you figure this out?
Thank you for this detailed video. When my HDD died I followed this exactly and got my Xbox back up and running. The only issue I have is that my online games will not connect to the games servers. I can play games fine offline and all my apps (Netflix, RU-vid etc) connect to the internet and work fine. I just can’t play online games. It was working fine before the original HDD gave up and I have the same router and ISP. Any ideas what is wrong?
Ty, it helped me a lot. This video was more helpfull than Xbox support and forum. Every offline system upgrade try was failed in stage 3. I had power cycle it 1 or 2 times to complete update. After that my console was slow and freezed a lot in menu/settings. When I copyed that animation file to system folder the OSU went perfectly. It went trough all the stages and my console was better than before! I know it just seems faster but finally can download a game without freezing..If u read this comment, just follow the steps 1 by 1. The answer for your problem is in the video. Működik, nekem ez megoldotta!
Is this tutorial still relevant? And also did you intentionally kept the LAN cable disconnected during the installation? It has to be pure offline? What if i reset the console before the offline update and before putting the new drive? The OSU1 file will be newer than the factory defaults if i am thinking right. Wouldnt that decrease the chance of the update getting corrupt?
Hi, your videos have really helped so far! Is it important tho to extract the Microsoft files to the usb drive from archives? I just directly unzipped the files from the download folder to the usb drive. When I plugged in the drive to the Xbox and turned it on using the method you demonstrated I just got a black screen with text in multiple languages saying System error and the code E200 000000EF and E101. Why does this happen… anyone with the same problem ?
I have done the SSD upgrade to my XBOX ONE S awhile ago. I used the OSU1 that mentioned in Xbox Support website. And I didn't do any formatting to the SSD. I just wrap it with the old hard drive, then do the Offline System Update. The Xbox will guide you all the process (to a fresh factory-reset console). For the game-save, as long as you install the game thereafter (Or find it back in the store app), the game-save will be back there...... those Xbox Backup doesn't help! My 2 cents.
After the first jingle, mine showed Something went wrong screen.. I clicked Troubleshooting, inserted USB flash drive and updated from there with OSU1 update. Worked like a charm! Great video for reference!
I've tried everything with a 2Tb Seagate Barracuda drive and nothing works. No scripts, scripts, tried every possible way and still won't work. Replaced 2 other drives on other consoles with Crucial MX500 1Tb SSD with no issues - but this one - nothing! Going to try a WD Blue drive.
Hey, I'm trying this with my Gears Of War 4 Xbox One S and all I get is system error E101 00000504 8B050041 now I followed this video for my original Xbox one and had no problems at all. Some help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Andrew. Just got a 1s back up and running . Got the 101 error at 69 percent of stage 2 but did what you suggested and reset and cleared and then it went through the second time. You're a legend 👍
Thanks for this sir, a big help I just happen to bought an Xbox controller and the seller just gave his broken Xbox unit (E102) and one physical game with it for a bargain price The hard drive is cooked so I replaced it with a Seagate barracuda one and follow your instruction and it all went smoothly and the Xbox one is now resurrected and now I have 2 Xbox consoles 😆 Big thanks again sir, hope you can help many more
Hook it up to windows, open a command prompt with administrator privileges then run the following commands: diskpart list disk Identify which disk is your XBOX drive and note the disk number. select disk x (where x is the drive number from the step above). clean If you then go into Disk Management console, it should ask you to initialize the disk with either MBR or GPT - use GPT these days unless you've an explicit reason to not want to. You can then partition the drive and format it as desired.
Thank you for your tutorial. I've followed it to the letter twice now. It works, I get into setting up the Xbox one x, I sign in, I do all my settings, time, language, it updates the store etc. After all that, on the very next restart, it goes back to E error 102,105 or 106. Is it a sign of a faulty hdd? It's barely a year old 1tb sata. Please advise at your earliest convenience.
My original xbox one won't update, just freezes on 0% and shortly after gives me the same error code 101 or 102. Will cleaning the disk on my laptop fix the problem with the updating
This video was awesome, I had been looking around for help to fix my Grandson's Xbox one S. However, everyone video I found you had to use a script but you had to access to it. This video made it so easy to install a new hard drive. Wonderful Job Andrew Paul Thank you!!!
Thanks, worked perfectly for me. After yesterdays system update I came home to a bricked console, with the dreaded no hdmi signal. The console turning off after only 1 min 7-8 secs coupled with the no hdmi signal was the tell tale sign my HDD went poop. Back and better than before with an SSD.
hi, I followed all the steps, but my xbox keeps on going with the black screen even in safe mode, even in 3rd beep situation. Could that be the video card, or the hdmi slot? how can i check that ?
hello, i got a new problem with the last tuto. i made it several times on different Xbox but i can't instal new hdd with the last OS of this summer, it is to heavy (6.1go). when i do 6go for A and 6go for B the System Update X volum is to small (12go). i tied to extend the volum but it is not working. i tried to find the lastest script but problem is still here. how to do ??
Thanks for the video, I had been going round in circles with E101 / E106 errors and my xbox, the instructions on xbox website are garbage! I bought it used, it had been factory reset, but it seems that does not get rid of the xbox insider os, the hard drive died and now it's a brick until the next osu1 update!
Thanks for the video, worked like a charm, replaced the broken HDD in my son's Xbox, only thing I couldn't get to work was the loading animation but I can live without that until it updates, great video again, thank you.
Hello, great video, helped me so much, I wanted to ask for some help as I replaced the HDD because of a gut feeling and it started working again. For some reason after a couple of weeks it's has now stopped working, looks like before, it powers on but it's doesn't display video. The HDD I used to replace was brand new. Any idea? I'm just sad because I played some games and everything was working fine
Please help me if you can on my Series X: Update loop E100 error > use D-pad down to and hit A’ to select “Troubleshoot” > D-pad down to “Reset this Xbox” > D-pad down to “Remove Everything” > select with A’ button and absolutely nothing happens. The A’ button has worked so far but will not function at this point on either of the reset “keep games and apps,” or “Remove everything” options… Leaving me with the USB option (though I don’t have a PC) or send to Microsoft for repair. I don’t understand why or what the trick is to make the selection with the A’ button… or am I just SOL?

Hi Steve, What is the full E100 error code displayed on screen? E100 is typically a BD-ROM fault 99% of the time and not hard disk drive related. The fact that it faults right after the reboot (first thing it does is a presence check and validation of the married drive being attached) would back this up in this instance. Has the BD-ROM drive been changed or messed around with at all recently? If you've changed the hard disk drive and have removed the BD-ROM as part of the process is it still plugged in on both sides of the cable?
Is this an original XBOX One? If so, check the plug which goes between where the WiFi module plugs in and the motherboard - it often gets pulled out or loosened when the top gets put back on and can cause this. Also make sure that the WiFi module itself is seated correctly and your WiFi antenna (small black cable) is plugged into the card.
@@AndrewPaul Hi, it is an original XBOX One, i have taken it apart again and rechecked all the connections, i still get the exact same error code when it restarts for step 3.
@@AndrewPaul I have the same problem on my Xbox One X, it was originally a 101 error which has now been sorted with your video above, however now when it gets to the applying section and restarts, it comes up with a 100 error. I am good with my hands, have taken a fair few consoles apart before and found this one to be easier than others. I have checked all the connections and reconnected them to make sure.
