E208 for the 3rd time

John Rox · Oct 9, 2022

Hello I have previously got error E208 twice in the past, the first time i had to hard reset and the second it fixed itself. However it has happened a 3rd time and I really don't want to lose all my saves again. Does my xbox one need repairs or can i avoid all this?

Hope you're doing great today despite this John

May I know if you tried to do first the offline update and then factory reset your console as advised here?

If you already tried that combo, unfortunately it seems like a hardware issue and your console needs to be inspected and repaired

Call support and open an unauthorized access case

Ok maybe it's time to sit with your son and talk to him about reviewing his security

First stop giving out emails etc or using funny websites because his friends suggested it

Teach him to never enter account info on sites other then official live sites

This includes free or cheap ms points sites

2nd make sure after the last investigation change all password reset options and trusted pc and phone number are added

3rd

Replace the windows live Id with a new one

Worst case maybe use a windows live Id you only know and you managed the password

Make sure there is capital letters and numbers mixed in with regular letters

If your son knows who hacked his account he gave the info to thee said person

I suggest you set contact info to friends only and parental control

If he is an adult account add him to a family plan
