Error code E81 on updating

klm7777777777 · Apr 2, 2014

Hello, I bought Forza 4 and therefor i had to update my xbox. I tried to update, but always got the error E81 (update via network, via USB)

I also tried to clear memory cach, to reboot while pushing the sync-Button. Nothing changed. Updates resume in E81

Is my console banned ? I never opened the console. Or did I make something wrong on my account? I c'ant remember when i was last tim online with the xbox. I think it was in 2010 when I bought the XBOX. But I never changed or modified the XBOX (only the batteries
of the controller)

box 360 Pro

Serial: 113960190405

best regards

:)

Perhaps it's due to the drive. Remove all drives on the console and see if the issue continues. If it does not then add one drive at a time until it repeats itself.

2 days later, I turn it on and it works? Can an E81 code occur from it simply *** up? (Or maybe the sync trick takes time to delete all updates, because it restarted at default purchase settings)
