OU1 $SystemUpdate failure

Daniel Behnke · Mar 15, 2023

Please help! I am not sure what I am missing. I have had to replace my Xbox one HD. I have partitioned the new H, labeled etc. I have downloaded the OU1Zip file. I can extract it. But when I Move, Copy, Extract to my formatted usb it fails. I have done multiple downloads, tried different usbs. I am able to place the file on a FAT32 (but that doesn't help). Any ideas? (this also goes for the OSU2)

Second part

I was able to borrow the file/formatted usb (from a friend) and tried to update the Xbox but fails at 58%. Any ideas on that?

Yes I know this is a second question, but on the off chance the file is not good, I figured I would get the latest and greatest.

Please Help

:)

Can I just check, do I copy the $systemupdate folder itself to the USB drive, or the contents of the $systemupdate folder?

Just to make sure. Can you verify that you've copied the $Systemupdate correct to your USB drive like this: Copy the "$Systemupdate" folder from the ZIP-Compressed file to your USB drive.

Do not copy the individual files to the USB drive from the "$systemupdate" folder. If you did this correctly, Open your USB Stick on the PC with a double click, you should ONLY see the "$systemupdate" folder (with the dollar sign). And nothing else. Thank
you!

Hey there KraBird090,

What update are you looking for exactly? If it's not available on the console then your console is already up to date.

Just to make sure it's not a misunderstanding: You need to copy the "$Systemupdate" folder from the ZIP-Compressed file to your USB drive or Disc.

If you went into the "$systemupdate" Folder and copied the individual files to the USB Stick, then it won't work.

If you did it correctly, and you open your USB Stick on the PC with a double click, you should ONLY see the "$systemupdate" folder (with the dollar sign). And nothing else.

Only if you double click on the $Systemupdate folder you should see the individual files.

And again, make sure the Stick is FAT formatted, and doesn't have any special features like built in encryption, or
U3 functions.

The same is true if you burn the update to the disc. If you open the finalized disc on your computer, you should ONLY see the $Systemupdate folder, and nothing else. If you go into the $Systemupdate folder, you should see about 32 individual files.
