Xbox One X Series of Malfunctions. Is it ruined?

Shankadelic · Apr 5, 2020

After recently purchasing my Xbox One X last month on the 26th, I enjoyed flawless gameplay for about a week. However, recently I turned on my Xbox to be greeted with an E101 error, followed by several attempts to restart it, followed by E102, E105, and
E203 errors. Even on the few attempts (~30% of the time) my Xbox was able to fully boot, I noticed a large number of glitches in the game I was playing (Red Dead Redemption 2), followed by a system crash ~4 minutes in and "Corrupted Save File" messages, which
I knew was a terrible sign. I have done the following:

- Hard restart (too many times to count)

- Full factory reset (5+ times)

- Clearing of cache

- Clearing of local game files (both 360 and One games)

- Update via USB drive (Instantly failed numerous times), and yes, the USB was formatted EXACTLY how Microsoft asks

- Factory reset via USB drive (Instantly failed numerous times)

- Use of multiple networks

And even when I manage to load my dashboard, I am receiving instantaneous error codes (0x8007045d) with "Installation Stopped" messages almost instantly upon trying to download any of my games I previously uninstalled via factory reset (all digitally owned).
The download struggles to make it anywhere over 100mb before stopping, sometimes failing to download any data at all. Half of my apps won't load and if they do, the system is running much slower now. In other words, my Xbox appears to be completely useless
after <2 weeks of using it. My best guess is the internal hard drive is ruined (I do not use an external HD), but I have no idea what would have caused this other than poor build quality/software from Microsoft. If anyone else has experienced a nightmare like
this, please let me know what I should do (or where I can find the nearest Playstation 4 Pro!)

Since it is new, the console might be under factory warranty, in that case, you will not pay to get it fixed.

You can send in for repair or have a local game console repair place fix it for use, most of the time it is a failing hard drive

The fact that you can’t use your Xbox Series X account ruins backwards compatibility. Do you agree?

Hi there Shinigami, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I'm sorry to read that you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox Series X console!

If by "rebooting the system" you mean you reset the console to its factory settings and the problem still persists, then as a last resort, I recommend trying an offline system update for the console using the instructions from the following link:

https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/offline-system-update

When this type of problem isn't resolved by resetting the console, the only alternative is to perform an offline update. This should resolve the issue if it originates from the console's software and not its hardware.

Please keep in mind that in this public forum, we are just fellow players like you, trying to help other players with our best intentions.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

As long as it is working normal, there is nothing to worry about.

However, if you witness any issues in the future you can reach out for assistance or get your Xbox serviced!
