    Xbox elite 2 controller bricked after update

    I was having the same exact problem. Xbox Accessories it told me that I needed to update. When I clicked update, the process failed, and the controller no longer functioned.

    Your suggestion to use the Xbox Accessories seems a bit silly as it was using that app that bricked the controller in the first place.

    I actually did manage to fix it though! Hopefully this helps people:

    The problem seemed to be what USB port I was using. I have a USB hub, and with the controller connected to the hub, Xbox Accessories detected the controller, but attempting to do a firmware update bricked it.

    I disabled bluetooth on the PC, unplugged the USB cord from the controller, turned the controller off

    Then I plugged the USB (A) into a port directly on the back of my PC.

    I plugged the USB (C) side into the controller, which turned it on.

    (controller still bricked at this point)

    I then opened Xbox Accessories app and did a firmware update.

    This time the progress bar started moving, and the update was a success.

    The controller is now working as intended.

    Warning ! Do not brick your controller . New controller update procedure stay away like the plague.

    it's bloody unbelievable that the $40 i just spent, bricked my controller. now i have to spend another $60 on a controller, that also might brick if i update it.

    right before titanfall too.
