    Bricked controller


    So my Xbox one controller was not syncing wirelessly and so when I plugged it in via usb, it prompted me to do an update. I started the firmware update for the controller but it failed at 46%. Now my controller is completely bricked. It just keeps flashing
    but doesn't connect in any way. I have tried everything but it just won't sync.

    :)

    Controller BRICKED

    After new Xbox One system update I began to get messages to update my controller. I hooked up controller to usb cable and began the process. At 2% it said their was an issue connecting the controller. My controller turned off and now nothing I do gets it
    to turn on. I see through many discussions through your forum and tons of outside forums that this is a known issue that Microsoft refuses to acknowledge... Requiring the end user to purchase a new controller. Is this correct? Has any resolution been found?

    Thanks!

    Bricked controller

    Power cycle the console, and if you're using rechargeable batteries, switch them out for normal ones.

    After the restart attempt to resync the controller again.

    Hi

    Just to add to what Geth has said if you are still not able to get the controller to sync can you please try below?

    It sounds like the update has not fully completed can you try fully powering down the console by pressing and holding the power button on the front of the console for 5-10 seconds. Once the console has powered off remove the batteries and connect the controller
    to the console using a USB cable then power the console back on using the power button on the console itself After the dashboard has loaded please wait for 10-15 before you try to use the console of controller and if the controller update has not completed
    it will hopefully do so during this time.
