  1. Xbox One X stuck on E106 after Insider OS update – OSU1 doesn’t work


    Hi everyone, I need some help with my Xbox One X.
    My console was previously enrolled in the Xbox Insider/Preview program. I formatted the original internal HDD, and now the console is stuck in the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter with:
    E106 00000009 80070002
    I already removed the console from Xbox Insider, but it still appears to be expecting an Insider/Preview system version.
    I tried the official public OSU1 from Microsoft, but it doesn’t work.
    I also have another older HDD from an Xbox One that contains an older Xbox system installation.
    My questions are:
    Is there a way to determine the exact OS/build stored on the old HDD without modifying or formatting it?
    Could the older HDD be used to recover the Xbox One X?
    Is there an official Insider/Preview OSU package compatible with the 26100.x / XB_FLT build family?
    Is there any safe way to recover the console without the original HDD?
    I don’t want to format or modify the old HDD because I’m trying to preserve the existing Xbox partitions.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    when will xbox release a offline update for xbox insider hub
    Offline system updates using OSU1 cannot be used on consoles enrolled in a Insider preview.

    OSU1 can only be used on console with the General Availability OS installed.

    There will never be a OSU1 file released for Insider preview OS. The console has to be removed from the Insider program before using offline system updates.

    If you describe the issue you're having, with any error codes you're seeing, we will endeavour to assist you.

    xbox will not start

    Hello
    I participated in the Xbox Insider Program, and my xbox crashed and did not call anymore, I tried factory reset and it appeared the error E106 00000000 80070570, I also tried the offline update through OSU1 and appeared the error E101 00000504 8B050041.
    maybe it is because the version that had in my xbox is more current than the version of OSU1, since I participated in the Insider.

    what can I do to solve this problem, will I have to wait for OSU1 available on the microsoft website to arrive in the same version that I have of INSIDER?
    So, is it booting up? getting the dashboard displayed?

    System error E106

    I'm enrolled in the insider program. And I recently got update that caused my xbox x to be stuck showing system error E106. I tried all the options nothing seems to work. Device service through Microsoft is $250. I don't think it's fair for MS to break my
    xbox and expect me to pay $250 to fix it. Can some one help me get this issue sorted out please.

    What if I never download system updates?

    Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Do I need to redownload and copy the OSU1 files to a USB again for the August 2019 update then? Or is OSU1 not in-line with the latest OS update and merely a 'rescue OS' to get things moving for the time being?

    FYI, the one I downloaded again on August 14, 2019 updated my console to the July 2019 OS version, not August.

    Is there no other way to update other that the OSU1 solution? I'm still on the July 2019 OS although things are running fine.

    Xbox Live system update is a no-no for me as it corrupts the OS and then everything pretty much stops working.

    Xbox won't start after update.

    "I have followed guides online and eventually attempted to restore from a USB stick by downloading OSU1. This starts to progress but at random % crashes with E106. Now I am stuck in a loop of E106 and the Xbox is now unusable."

    If you are connecting your console to your network hardware with wired ethernet cable, you must disconnect it prior to attempting an Offline System Update (OSU).

    If you are in an Insider preview ring, OSU's cannot be used unless you unenroll from the program. Unenrolling usually means a factory refresh will be applied.

    E102 is more than likely a hardware issue and you will need to setup a repair.
