Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:01 am Post subject: Update Failed
I have looked around both this forum and others and have been unable to find any posts of this problem so I apologise if this has been posted before. (I did find many similar problems, but they did not help me solve this one).
I am trying to update my console with the new system update in order to play with kinect.
So I downloaded the update from xbox.com and transferring it to a flash device's root folder. Upon putting the flash device into the xbox I am prompted that an update has been detected and to restart. Upon rebooting I get the message:
Update Required
To proceed, security and program updates are required. System updates will be added to ensure security and proper functionality. If you decline, you will be returned to the Xbox Dashboard. Do you want to accept the update?
After selecting "Yes, update now" the update begins and almost immediately I get the message:
I get no further information regarding the nature of the error. However, If I reboot, the xbox no longer recognises a system update on the flash drive unless I delete it and add it again. I have tried clearing the cache on my hdd. Formatting the hdd. Booting the xbox whilst holding the sync button to clear any failed updates. Alternative sources of the update. And also installing the old update again in case this update was added incorrectly and was blocking the new one.
None of these things have worked and I am all out of ideas. Xbox support have been no help as they just see/hear the word update and begin to tell me how to download it.
I would appreciate any help anybody can give me and if any further information is needed just ask.
Thank you.

This is a site for the old xbox, not the xbox 360.
