Xbox One S no longer working after December Build

I have been searching for every single bit of information since it occurred more than 2 months ago. I was playing Dark Souls 3 and noticed I couldn't use the Nexus Button Menu, which at first appeared as a black rectangle at the left side of the screen. Then, I wanted to quit (rage quit, since I got invaded and killed) but the menu won't appear; I suspected nothing at the time. Kept playing and tried to get into a boss area when it happened: the game crashed and after 3 minutes, the screen got black and showed the error message out of the blue. Error E106. Restarted the console and got a new one, this time I was unable to boot into the main menu: Error E101. Nothing worked. Tried to factory reset using the BIND and EJECT method at startup. The console just restarted and got a black screen. Several times, I left the console without turning it off after doing this and encountered a black screen with a Red Selection Square (Red is my profile color and it appeared as such); tried pressing A with my controller which connected as if nothing was happening. Nothing. I was running out of luck since my guarantee ran out 1 month before this build. Just about to cancel my Game Pass Ultimate suscription as I tried everything possible at my disposition. My Xbox is dead because of the Insider Program and I wanted to try something that everyone has already said is futile: OSU. Did not work.

I'm not asking for help as I know what I can do and what I can not. All I ask is that everyone that got their Xbox unusable after certain Insider Update to put your issue in this post and start asking for an especial Offline System Update so we can keep helping this community. It's not fair that we lose time helping with bug reporting or even playing the games we buy for this platform just because the console no longer works because of a bug. In the Insider Policy it says that the OS could malfunction at some builds but it never says that we have to send the Xbox for repairs as it would be a NO from me if it means getting my console to malfunction at any time, giving me a brick I would never play again with. It's not fair that everything they say to you after posting a new issue with any E1xx, E2xx in this forum is "You have to send it to Xbox and ask for a repair" when a "custom" OSU would fix many of the issues. My Internet sucks but I wouldn't mind wiping my HDD if this would solve any issue like this and hope to not have a brick for a console. I hope the Insider Staff or Developers would read this as it would make a Hardcore Gamer and Technology Enthusiast very happy to fix an already dead Xbox...
