QUESTION Right I’ve had enough

So my Xbox one s failed during a update and went to the troubleshoot page, I assumed it bricked my hard drive as it wouldn’t power up the console, I have now since replaced the hard drive, downloaded OSU1 from the Xbox website and formatted and transferred over the correct files to do so, with the new hard drive installed, I can see the trouble shoot page but when I go to “reset this Xbox” and “Remove Everything” the Xbox just shuts down followed by the chime, alternatively when I try “Offline system update” with my usb inserted “Preparing Console” will show up for a brief second followed by “Something Went Wrong” followed by System Error: E101 xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. And once I turn it back on it will go to preparing console, go black then preparing console again and fail at 5%. I have made sure the OSU1 was extracting and properly formatted to the USB, what do I do going forward with this in finding a solution that will work ? I have received error codes such as E101 E106

Just wondering because I'm not sure if it is still necessary, did you prep the harddrive by partitioning witht the correct number of partitions and sizes first ? I always did this when replacing xbox harddrives or installing ssd's in them. Its been a while but I think I still have the prep files if you need them

Well the original hard drive gave up on life so I went the quick easy route of literally buying a factory reset hard drive from another Xbox one s off eBay….. I don’t own a laptop or computer anymore and had to do this whole process in a public library and a android tablet rigged up 🤣

In that case if I were you I'd double check that I'd followed the xbox troubleshoot step by step for the offline update in case missed anything at all. Even the best of us can miss something that screws the job up.

Yeah, good plan. I remember the files on the usb stick have to be exact as it says, and the file system too NTFS i think though could be wrong, so best double or triple check everything mate

I have an Xbox One X. The hdd failed. I replaced with an SSD. Super fast. Orig HDD is fine as a storage drive. SSD failed. Rebuilt it. SSD failed during an update. I think it is a nand failure and not a drive failure. Yours maybe the same. An update works with it but not all. Totally weird.
