    My Xbox is pretty much unusable after a factory reset.


    When I turned on my xbox today, it unexpectedly showed the green boot screen and eventually the troubleshoot window. I chose to reset it via the menu, but it happened again. I have had to factory reset my Xbox many times before because this exact thing happened, (with the exception of the first time, where the microsoft store was glitched) so I wasn't very worried. It had kinda become a routine at that point just to go ahead and factory reset it (keeping my games) and get it over with, since I knew doing anything more most likely would have been pointless in my experience. Directly after, if I remember correctly, the Xbox turned off and that's the last time it displayed an image. Now, it turns on but doesn't do much else; the controller doesn't connect at all and the pair button on the side of the console does not work. The pair button also doesn't make the xbox logo blink like it normally would. The eject button worked, but when I tried holding it and the power button together to reset the display settings, nothing happened. I then tried to enter the troubleshoot menu through the buttons on the console, and nothing seemed to have happened then, either. In the process of doing those two things, I never heard any beeps, and based off what I read online, im pretty sure I was supposed to. Also, some tutorials said in a step that in order to completely power off the device, I needed to hold the power button for 10 seconds, but it really felt like 5 before the light turned off? It could just be me. Anyways, after a while the Xbox just turns off. I had also done some basic troubleshooting with the tv like switching hdmi ports for the xbox, but to no avail. The last time it had worked normally was the the night before, when I fell asleep to a youtube video with the screen off. I was also downloading a game. At that time, it was behaving usually. I have an original xbox one if it matters. How can I fix this?

    Major issue with XBOX capture app

    I remember that happening a couple time's, I think it's a temporary glitch.
    Happens to me at least half of the time before I did the factory reset and pretty much everytime after the factory reset

    installation stopped - games/updates refusing to start

    Thank you all for your help but none of the suggestions so far have worked, even factory reset. My xbox is now pretty much useless.

    Resetting xbox360

    Definitely return ASAP if you can. 99% of modded consoles it is hardwired into the system itself and a typical factory reset won’t clear it. I mean, after all, you probably got the system pretty much factory reset when it arrived so doing it again won’t
    change it
