    As a person who repair these consoles, the most frustrating part of Xbox updates is the Preview program, if your console's drive fails you can't have it fixed until a firmware is more recent than the beta version. This doesn't surprise me the least.

      My Xbox One (the 1st big brick) console is in the preview program. After I got me the Series X, I tried to start it once, but it didn't launch. So I research a bit and found some posts and videos how to solve the issue, apparently by holding the eject and power button if I remember correctly, but it didn't work for me and haven't tried it again, it's over a year ago. Only thing left would be a factory reset. Are you aware of this and do you know something that could help?

    This has been happening for years; worked for a AAA publisher back in 2018, and any older Xbox test kits that missed a few firmware updates would get caught in this same loop - incapable of completing updates, and would have even less functionality after a factory reset. All needed to be returned to MS.

    Worst case scenario: this is a hardware issue. I used to fix Xbox One X consoles and the most of the (admittedly small number of) consoles had the same issue. The internal combination SATA power/data cable that Microsoft used was trash and would just randomly corrupt portions of transferred data. It’d start with a game crash here and there. Reset the console and you were good to go. But, as the problem worsened, games would get stuck on loading screens, the dashboard would hard crash, updates would fail to install. Error E101, E201, etc. The cable detonates in such a way that, at random times, data transferred to the hard drive is corrupted. This would only manifest *sometimes* during normal gameplay as you only load from the hard drive sporadically. But as the deterioration got worse, the problem got worse.
    Trying to apply a firmware update requires a consistent stream of good, uncorrupted data to (and then from) the drive. Corruption makes the update fail. I actually made two videos detailing the fix (check my channel if curious) but it requires opening the console and replacing the SATA combo cable with PC motherboard SATA data and power cables. If you wanna go crazy, you can saw off the data side of the combination cable and replace that part only. It worked for me numerous times and I’d be interested to know if it solves the issue.

      That means that buying lots of stuff from Xbox for me is not a good idea because i am in the risk of getting banned and i may lose everything. So at best i might just pay for Game Pass where i know i don't own anything with that anyway and treat Xbox as only a game Netfix like console service.
      Exception some physical games that are fully on disk i guess and you can play completely offline as long as Microsoft doesn't brick my Xbox if it bans me.

    Microsoft is doing it on purpose,these consoles are 10+ years old and now they are forcing us to buy 5gen consoles.
    We wont be able to fix it or to find a working one at resellers (xone,s,x) neither can we jailbreak it to use it..Just like with phones you buy it use it for 2,3 years max then they crashed it with newer update..
    It also effects people that are fixing it and the one reselling it.
    They simply wont allow anyone to make profit but themselves.

    When it comes to the activation issue with the PS5 Slim it seems to me that an easy compromise would be that you can’t play movies on the console until you activate the drive but it should let you play games. Assuming that is the reason why the drive needs to be activated.

      You have to clear the cache after each update, or when you feel some slowdown. Also, keep in mind that hard drives tend to perform slower once they are filled at nearly 70% or above. I recommend you to leave at least 20-25% free storage.

    the problem can be solved by formatting the hd in the create xbox driver guide... copy the OSU2 file to the update system folder duplicate the files and create a folder A and a B paste the files into each one... copy the updater file .xvd which is inside one of the folders outside of them...
    Place the hard drive in the console and use the OSU1 file to proceed with the installation.

I still think it's stupid that a console has to be activated online before you can use it. Yes, I know it has a lot of online features, but it shouldn't be required for the initial setup.

    I found out there was a way to revert the controller firmware to a much older version using my xbox one x. This resolved the problem. My two original xbox one plug and play battery packs charge and display charge as normal after reverting firmware on both controllers.
    However, in line with the premise of this video this is totally unacceptable on Microsoft's part.

    6:30 "long term preservation, long term usage".
    I think that anyone still using the Xbox One is fine, because they've been getting regular updates.
    As for preservation or buying an Xbox One today... There's no real reason to buy an Xbox One today. The way MS does it, you just remove and replace the existing hardware main unit (Xbox One) with something new (Xbox Series) and all your games, digital content/saves and controllers just goes with you. Your Xbox account is just like Steam, move it to a new PC and all your stuff goes with you.
    I still have my Xbox 360, that isn't redundant. I think only half of its content works with newer consoles. Yet as a Series S owner, there is next to no reason for me to get an Xbox One unless I wanted to do something elaborate like play some of the early games which had Kinect features, for example Alien Isolation which I think used the noise in your room to alert the Alien or Fifa 14 which penalised you for cursing too much. I got fired as a manager for Chelsea because of language back in the day. :-P

    😅Saddly mine still works perfectly fine. How can I "officially" brick it to justify buying a Series X to my wife ?
    I'm still using daily my 2014 xbox one fat (mainly youtube/neflix and indies etc...).

      If anything happens and you need to do a factory reset it's over for your xbox.

    Are Microsoft killing off everything this week? They've just killed off the 360 store so is this their twisted way of trying to force people to buy a Series X or S? It isn't going to work. Most 360 owners bought PS4s and the Xbox one owners decided there's nothing worth buying a Series S or X for. Maybe people will realise these console manufacturers don't care about their customers or keeping older customers and just want to fleece everyone as much as they can.

    I believe this may be a problem that affects all Xbox One consoles, not just the VCR model. My friend was running into a similar boot loop error on his Xbox One X that I am unable to solve. Hoping Microsoft finds a way to remedy this, as I’m in agreeance with the preservation aspect. While yes, you can simply just play the library on an Xbox Series, there’s millions of Xbox One consoles out there, and for the poorer market, will be using the previous generation consoles for some time to come.

      By making a dev mode available to consumers Microsoft has discouraged modding, since it could really only be for piracy, but this "issue" might change that. Personally I wish there was a Xbox One emulation/recompilation scene though simply because some games have local multiplayer on the console but not on PC at this time.

    I just bought a Kinect to try with my old standard Xbox One because why not. It hadn't been used since 2017 or something like that. I tried to update it, forgetting that I had already heard about this issue, and of course the same thing happened. I had to factory reset it and then it worked fine.
