  1. Stuck with a secondhand Xbox One S enrolled in Insider — can't OSU


    Hey everyone,

    I bought a refurbished Xbox One S off eBay a while ago and recently had to swap out the dying hard drive.

    I set up a USB with the latest OSU1 file to get the new drive working, but the installation keeps failing because the OS build on the console is newer than the public update on the flash drive.

    I checked the Insider Hub app and confirmed the console is enrolled in a preview ring, but when I try to unenroll it, it tells me only the original user who registered the console can do it. Since I bought it used, I have no way of reaching that person.

    Is there any way to get the hardware unenrolled without the original account, or am I basically stuck waiting until the public release catches up to whatever build is on here?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    will not offline update

    Are you in an Insider preview ring?

    OSU's cannot be used on a console enrolled in Insiders.

    The console must be unenrolled from Insiders prior to attempting an offline system update (OSU).

    Xbox One X Turns off immediately during boot up

    Hi JohnArrrr

    Are you enrolled in the insider preview program because if you are the OSU update won't work.

    xbox offline software update file version is old, could you post the new one

    I was enrolled as an insider, Omega circle, but when I recieved the update an error ocurred. I tried every option avaliable, but since I'm part of the insider program, I can't use any OSU. So I started researshing way to solve my problem and verifying
    the versions installed on my friends consoles. The information I have gathered is that some people, even if they are not enrolled on the insider program, have the same OS version has I do. The same OS version that is mentioned above and that is not avaliable
    as a OSU. So, at the moment, my only option is to wait for the update. And I find it a shame that I went out of my way to enroll in a program to help Microsoft, but in case something goes wrong, they don't provide us with the tools to solve it. So I will wait,
    with my $300 brick, until there is an updated OSU. In other words, my problem is similar.

    xbox won't update

    hi could anybody help me with the offline system update? my system gets stuck on 33% update and 72% overall and then just stops before going back to system error.

    thankyou
    Are you in the XBox Insider Program? If so, you need to unenroll from the program prior to using OSU's.

    As stated in this XBox Insiders Wiki OSU's CAN'T be used if your console is a Insider OS build.

    When does the xbox one x get the avatar editor update?

    Is her One S enrolled in the Insider Program? She may not be but if the console was pre owned by someone who is in the insider program and the avatar beta app is installed, she will have it.

    Xbox One original, Xbox One S and Xbox One X all can install the avatar beta app, it is not console specific. Check the Insider Hub App and enroll if it shows up for your ring.
