Xbox 360 S bricked after accepting mandatory system update

Well folks, Microsoft is up to the same old tricks! 9/3/2014 I accepted a system update from Microsoft on my xbox360 s 4g console and it complete bricked the console. It turns on, but that's about it. Cannot log in. The console does not boot up. All I get
is an error message telling me to reinstall my hard drive to complete the update. 4174-417F-B780-0F00-C000-007B I have. It didn't work. I have removed the 320g hd and tried to start the console without the hd installed. Same error message. I have been on the
phone with customer support for the last 3 days to find out, that yes my console does need repair and they want to charge me $79.99 or $99.99 to repair a problem that never existed before I accepted Microsoft's mandatory system update. To compound the problem,
Microsoft's computer system they use for customer service has conveniently denied my repeated attempts to pay for said repair, saying I entered my information wrong. The card is good, I checked with the bank. There is money in the account, I checked with the
bank. I was also informed Microsoft cannot use paypal to attempt this payment. I am being told by Microsoft that they cannot do anything if the system wont accept my card info. So to recap, I accepted a mandatory system update that complete bricked my previously
flawlessly working xbox360 s console and Microsoft is saying there is nothing they can do. Anyone else having this problem? Please email me at

XBOX ONE Broken after applying April 2015 Update... Microsoft wants ME to pay for it

Terrible the way us loyal customers have been treated after downloading a mandatory update that's bricked our consoles

 

Xbox Bricked after Microsoft mandatory update.

my friend had this time ago, take your console relax few hours and try again

 

Update: I was not able to open the disk tray when the device was turned off. It would make the noise as I touched the button, but not open. After playing around a bit, I turned it on and tried the same... it opened. I inserted the disk I burned after a gamer
suggested to do so. It worked! I now have a working 360. It loaded the system update just fine from disk. It blows my mind that not one of the 7 people I spoke with at microsoft over the last 3 days ever came up with this.

 

Just FYI I have the same problem as well and your fix worked. I suppose my 4GB 360 picked up an update overnight that went bad and would no boot to the dashboard just remained stuck on the update failed screen, first I tried updating using the usb stick
I was using for additional storage on my console and of course that didn't work then I burned and copy to the disk and worked like a charm.

 

I think I'm looking at this problem right now... ugh!

I tried live update over the net, no dice...

I put in a CD I burned with the update and I'm looking at a blank screen, I started the update at ~9:45.. its now almost 11:15 PM

This sucks!

 

Just wondering for your two that it worked for, did your consoles tell you your HDD was corrupted? I have about 250 gb worth of patches, games, and save files, one is a lvl 89 elf on skyrim...
