Issues with Hard Drive replacement in Xbox one post update

Hey all

I'll try to keep it brief and succinct, and happy to answer any further questions regarding what I have attempted. Mainly posting to bring more attention to what seems to be a pre existing issue with the way Microsoft rolls out updates to consoles and when they upload the OSU1 file on their site.

First off, background. I have an xbox one x that was getting really sad with its boot up and load times and the drive tested as bad. Before taking any drastic steps I knew Xbox was different to Sony so did some research.

2 weeks ago I backed up all the files on the original drive just in case, and kept it aside. I got a new 1tb WD blue if it matters, and I followed the process outlined by Microsoft and echoed in a few YouTube videos I could find.

I had no issues with the console initialising and setting up not failing at all. After this there was an update to be done, and also as it matters my console is enrolled in the insider program.

Not thinking too much of it, I decided to get greedy and install an SSD instead.

Following the same process I got hit with an update error code at 1% when the OSU1 tried to do its thing.

Now even if I put the old drive in, the 1tb WD that I used or the new SSD I get stuck between reset loop or update loop. After a lot of trawling I found that IF your console has been updated to a later version than the OSU1 file on the site you basically have a bricked console until they release the newer version of OSU1.

I rang and spoke with Microsoft today and they confirmed this. Does anybody know how long it might be I have a bricked console until then?

I have tried using several methods online to get it to work from replacing every file from the old drive onto a new one, the original drive itself, and the SSD to complete clean installs.
