Xbox 360 "update failed" after attempting to install newest update via USB

Hello ay, thanks for reaching out for help on the Xbox forum. I'm happy to help you in any way that I can.

That can be a bit tricky. Do you see an error code?

Try reformatting the drive and trying again. Maybe the files did not download fully on your first try.

Double check that you followed all the required steps from these instructions:

Hope this helps! I'm here in you need any more help.

Greetings, Z0Z0. This error code is listed in this support article titled "Error code after console software update". Keep in mind, if you are attempting
to use a USB to install the update, it must use the FAT32 file system. I would recommend trying to install the update via a USB again, but make sure it is formatted correctly. Thanks!

I would just follow the link I provided, follow the instructions for putting the newest update on a Xbox 360 formatted USB drive, and see if the newest update will correct the issue.

Hey Jogador! If I understand you right, you want to install an Xbox 360 system update using a USB?

Let us know if you need any more help. Cheers!

Sadly my problem is that the message says update unavailable meaning I can't get it, which is just weird as I need it to log on and you get updates through Xbox Live. I recently updated my Xbox via USB and that update won't install twice. I'm assuming though
it was the newest one available it didn't contain the information required to log on Xbox live.
