Hello Mitty Witty,

Sorry for the inconvenience. That error usually indicates that there is a problem with your account information, such as your security proofs.

Here is a solution that can fix the error

Solution 1:

1). On the Xbox Home Screen, click on System -> Storage -> Hard Drive -> Profile, select Delete, then click Delete Profile Only.

2). Press "B" on the controller until you see "Hard Drive", Press "Y" on the controller and select "Clear System Cache" on the screen.

3). Shut the Xbox 360 off completely. Then turn it back on

4). On the Xbox Home Screen, Scroll until Social is selected on the top of the screen, Click "Sign In or Out", Scroll all of the way to the right and select Download Profile.

You should now be able to connect to Xbox Live, if not go to "Solution 2".

On Step 4, Replaced the parenthesis with this (**If not, skip this step and go to step 6.)

On Step 6, (Before the First Sentence) **Now go back to the Security info page. ...... (After the word
verified) **By clicking on Verify (if applicable). If there is no email address or phone number in on the page, add them in and click Verify.
