Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey NuegosRancheros, how are you today? Hope you're well.

NuegosRancheros, there are a couple of things we could try.

First check if your 360 Internet services are up and running

Settings > System Settings > Network Settings > Wired Network > Test Xbox Live Connection.

Everything right on there, try this:

1. Press the XBOX button on the remote, go to "Settings" and select "System Settings".

2. Select "Storage".

Highlight, but do not select, a storage device and press the Y button on the remote to access Device Options.

***Note It does not matter which storage device is selected. This procedure will clear all cache storage devices.***

3. On the Device Options screen, select Clear System Cache.

4. When prompted to confirm storage device maintenance, select "Yes".

***Note After successfully clearing the system cache, you will be returned to the Storage Devices screen. Press the XBOX button on the remote to return to Xbox Home.***

Then, roll back and reinstall system updates. To do this:

Press the Panel button on the control.

Go to Settings and select System.

Select Storage.

Enter the following sequence of buttons: X, LB, RB, X, LB, RB, X.

Select the option to roll back all installed system updates. The console will automatically restart and download updates again.

Reset the networking hardware. Find out how to do this:

Unplug the power cord from the back of the router, modem, or gateway. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cord from both devices.

Turn off your Xbox 360 console by pressing the power button on the front of the console.

Wait five minutes.

If you are using a router, plug it in and wait for all lights to return to normal.

Connect the rest of the hardware and try to connect to Xbox Live.

The error code means there is a problem with the Xbox LIVE service, so you could try it again in the next few days. Also if the game name appears in your download history still, then you have definitely not lost the content, as it is still associated to
your account. There are cases, where the download history says something on the lines of "content no longer available"
