Grumpa Original · Feb 4, 2020

So signed up for thier insider program. It suggested updating. So I did.

It bricked my system.

Tried doing update offline...nope

Tried reset except games...nope

Tried reset everything...nope

All it does is screw me more and more...at first I could get to offline mode, now I cant even get there.

They say send it in for repairs but $$$ cause not under warranty anymore...

Any suggestions

I'm aware that the devs have updated the status of the Reddit post about the error code

8b050033, but your title is misleading.

There is always the option of a factory refresh when you change preview rings and/or you get a non hardware failure. The devs would disagree with the term "bricked" as that means you can't turn it on. If you can turn it on and get to the troubleshooting
screen the console is not "bricked".

What surprises me is how many Insiders try to attempt a OSU (offline system update) when it clearly states in the
XBox Insiders wiki that

"Q: Can I use Offline System Updates to install an update on my enrolled console?

A: If your console is running a preview build, no, Offline System Updates (or OSU)
are not supported. Attempting to use an OSU on a console with a preview build will stop with an error on the screen. OSU is only supported on consoles that have a public (or later) build of the operating system."

If a factory reset does not work more than likely you have a hardware fault and the console will require a service.

The Reddit XBox Insiders Forum is the goto site for all things Insider and staff monitor site to assist.

Search is available for a wealth of Insider knowledge.

Awesome. This was Microsoft's Xbox support solution to my problem. We can't help you, post in the forums for the insider ring for support from our insider support... Cool. Glad to have a day of wasted live and time with a console that shouldn't just
brick because it can.

I feel like that there is a fan inside my xbox power brick which is not working well. So, is there something I can do about that, rather than changing my power brick (as I am in a lockdown)!
