Alpha update problems

bloodlesswretch · Jun 15, 2018

After installing the new alpha update my console was bricked. I had to use the separate USB drive method to factory reset my console. I was unable to open the guide, start any games, open my settings, or do literally anything except stare at my home screen.
Luckily after factory resetting it works again. I, however, have opted out of the alpha updates after the 4 hours of extreme frustration. This is a warning against updating to the new alpha build as it may completely brick your console.

Your console wasn't bricked. Bricked means like a brick, dead, not usable, won't power on. You can't restore an Alpha console with USB, that is only for public builds.

Hello again,

My problem is with a system update with the Alpha Skip Ahead membership, not with a game update.
