Xbox restarting during initial setup

Hi There,

You could try to see if you can system reset your Xbox One through a USB drive on your computer.

Step One

If you can't restore the factory default settings because you have no picture on your screen or you can't access the Settings menu, you can perform this action by using a file loaded onto a USB flash drive.

To use the USB flash drive to restore your console to factory defaults, you'll need:

• A Windows-based PC with an internet connection and a USB port
• A USB flash drive with a minimum 4 GB of space formatted as NTFS

Important Most USB flash drives come formatted as FAT32 and need to be reformatted to NTFS.
Formatting a USB flash drive for this procedure will erase all files on it.

1. Plug your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.
2. Select the following link to download the reset file to your computer. This compressed file contains the files needed to reset your Xbox One console to factory defaults: Restore
   Factory Defaults
3. Select Save to save the console update .zip file to your computer.
4. To unzip the compressed file, right-click on the file and then select Extract allfrom the pop-up menu.
5. Copy the $SystemUpdate file from the .zip file to your USB flash drive.
   Note The files should be copied to the root directory, and there shouldn't be any other files on the flash drive.
   
6. Unplug the flash drive from your computer.
7. Step 2
8. 
   
   1. Unplug the network cable if you're using a wired network connection.
   2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
   3. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.
   4. Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your console.
   5. Press and hold the BIND button (located on the left side of the console) and the EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button  on
      the console.
      Note The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition does not have an EJECT button. On this console you only need to hold the BIND button (steps 5 & 6) and then press the Xbox button .
      
   6. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
   7. Listen for two "power-up" tones a couple of seconds apart.
      Note If you don't hear two power-up tones after 15 seconds, it means this failed. Likewise, if you hear any "power-down" chirps, that also means this failed.
      
   8. You can release the BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
   9. When the console restarts, remove the flash drive.
   10. Once the console restarts, you should see the digital setup experience to guide you through resetting your console.
   
   Note The console restart may take several minutes. If you’re using a wired connection, plug your network cable back into the console. If you have never connected your console to the internet, you will need to connect at least once
   during the system setup process.
   

I had the same problem when installing a second new XBox One S upstairs at my home. Here is how I overcame it.

1.) Hook the box up to a wired Ethernet connection with internet access

2.) Complete the initial setup and updates.

3.) Take the box back to the place you want it setup (for me this was upstairs)

4.) Go into settings and setup the wifi....for me, it did not reboot when entering the wifi password in this manner and everything works just fine via wifi since then.

Crispy, try unplugging or restarting your console and see what that does. If your problems persist, restart your console and run the Initial setup again. One question for you, is the game turning green during the multiplayer or campaign modes?

I'm really sorry about that. You should be using the same account that was setup during the initial setup procedure. Are you using that to install the game?

Now back to my original question, does it need to be plugged in during initial setup. Yes or No
