I dunno how you do it mate but i watch all your videos when you fix things. I cannot believe you made me sit and watch you fix a fridge for an hour! love the videos !
Thank you mate. The fridge one was surprisingly watchable. When I have to watch the videos back after editing and processing them it can be painful as I know the outcome, and have already watched all the bits during editing. BUT for some reason that Fridge video was even enjoyable for me!!!!
Glad you got it up and running! The problem with these modern systems is (for security reasons) the drive has a signature - an ID that the XBOX has stored in its flash ROM also, and when updating etc it checks the drive to make sure it has the same signature as the XBOX expects. If the signature is different they won't allow an update because you could be using some hacked drive or drive replacement solution. It's a little bonkers tbh because with the right level of hacking any replacement drive could be made to present the correct (original) signature, but I guess its a lot of work to hack these. Same thing was true of the 360 I believe.
Yes, I know regards the 360 - I was one of the people looking at the 8051 firmware when they first started looking at the 360 DVD. In theory the same thing is probably possible on the XB1 drives, but they will have beefed up the security since the 360. Maybe the XB1 drives have already been hacked - no idea!
@@EllisPerhaps Actually it doesn't apply to the OG Xbox. Instead, the Hard drive is the one tied to the console but it can be easily replaced with modding tools
why on Earth am i sitting here and watching you fix things when im not even looking to fix anyting myself. i cant put my finger on what exactly you are doing so good with video making but you are definietly doing something great here. so dont stop
I swear this is the best youtube channel ever. I watch this when im eating, i watch this in the car, i watch you everywhere lol. I love your content man.
hi Vince... you mentioned you didn't want people sending you stuff in to fix because you didn't want to let them down if you couldn't fix it... but what if people wanted to send you things to fix like as in a donation... freely ... if you will... without asking for it back fixed or not... to do with it what you like? maybe you could fix things... cover you're costs and donate them to kids/people that are not well off...? just an idea. good video again.
Hello vince, So today I turned my xbox on and the error e100 happened! Stuck on 58% something went wrong! I went to a local computer shop twice to purchase USB stick 64gb and external hard drive caddy! I tried the offline update method with no joy. So with that matter I had to remove hard drive as I gained access to the inside the sata cable from Blue Ray disc drive to the main motherboard was actually disconnected. Dont know how as my xbox hadn't moved but I reconnected the cable in hope it would fix the problem as you said on this video to check all connections. I put the xbox back together turned it on with the troubleshooter and reinstalled the offline update! It passes the58% stage and it's now currently up and running. Thank you vince and to everyone else who gets this problem in the future and willing to open your xbox check the connections before purchasing a new hard drive/console
I worked out what the issue was as soon as you said he swapped the optical drive, microsoft have for a decade or more tied their optical drives to the board for anti tampering. Did he ever explain to why he brought a new optical drive and swapped it?
Hi Vince, The way you try and fix things is exactly how I started. I never believe anything is unfix able with a little patience and good old google generally sorts it out. Yes your right about the bluray drive, it has a key thats locked to that motherboard, if they dont match then you get the errors you see. A quick swap of the board would of sorted it, but am glad you went a different direction at first as that is part of the problem solving routine for us amateurs. Anyway Im a big fan of your series and always watch the guides. Good luck in the future from Daz
Vince you have inspired me to learn as much as I can about repairing electronics and have given me a goal in life. Just wanted to say thank you for all the videos. Keep up the great work mate!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for the comment and watching them. There are loads of good RUclipsrs to watch that are really good at electronics. It is amazing to have this much information at our fingertips (we are very lucky).
Wow a you tuber that admits they make money on thier videos and only 1 ad for a 30+ minute video!? I fuckin love this guy and will keep following! Very informative and entertaining. Thanks my mate!
this helped me immensely, thank you. I went through the same exact troubleshooting process you did - I ended up reconditioning the old drive by cleaning the intake roller with rubbing alcohol and applying some white lithium grease to the exposed plastic cogs and didn't even have to do a bd drive daughterboard swap. Upon closer inspection of the replacement drive that was causing the error i noticed it was a different model, DG-6M2S-XXX (dated 2015) instead of the original DG-6M1S-XXX dated 2014, hope this helps someone as i suspect MAYBE replacing a dead drive with the same exact drive model would avoid this issue. anyway thank you so much for making this video, i was pulling my hair out - at least i learned how to format a new xbox hdd and got a 500gb spare and an extra disc drive in the process
i always wait for your uploads..there is such a good vibe about your content...keep it up bro..you deserve much more subs...much respect to you comin all the way from a fan in Dubai
You are absolutely brilliant. It was staring me in the face the entire time never wouldve thought using a 01b instead of the original 03b DVD would hinder the xbox so much. You just saved the few remaining hairs in my head.
Badass bro,, you totally got me wanting to start working on these myself...did my first controller mod, hard drive swap and shell swap yesterday day and have a new hobby im about to dive into..thx alot for your video man
I had this on the old 360 , there is a key on the firmware of the cdrom, you could copy it over to the new drive from a pc , but it had to be a certain chipset on the pc motherboard can't remember which one now that long ago , don't know if the newer ones are the same but judging by the fix it is still the case ... great job Vince !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I bought my second 360 from ebay, it was giving an error and was 30$ because the seller just gave up. A quick google search later provided a failed update error code was the problem, after buying it and applying the update, voila! All it takes is a little time and effort sometimes. And yeah, even the 360 won't be happy if you swap drives all willy nilly. It's got a key in the drive that has to match up to the system's record. It's important to search error codes, as it's there for helping you find out what went wrong!
I love your channel! Even tho I don't fix things this is addictive a wonderful channel! I see this on my phone, tablet and also Switch! Loving your channel man!
Hey Vince, you most likely my favorite youtuber because you seem quite helpful for most people like me and show us things that some of us have never even heard of or tryed doing before keep it up! 😉 👍 #MyMateVince
Another great video @My Mate Vince! I appreciate your methodical way of troubleshooting issues. I have also attempted Sega Game Gear repairs and so far I'm about 50% successful. It seems like the LCDs have their own issue unfortunately. I'm going to try transplanting an LCD from a bad board to a good board. You are my inspiration!
Great video! I had the same problem. I unplugged my drive while it was applying the update, then plugged it back in and it worked. I did not use my console for a whole semester so I thought the update messed with it but I believe that the Xbox checks the hardware when updating
Hi I just want to say big thank you mate. You have helped me to fix my console the original xbox one. My solution for error e100 00000703 80910006 was to plug only disk board(cause I had few lol) to the console of course being very careful to not short anything and then I switched console back on. I have been surprised because it started from the point where it stoped so about 60 procent and finalize the update process. I fixed few consoles in the past and had few disk boards so by my mistake I put wrong one inside lol. Hope this will help to anyone. Your video is regarding wee bit different error code but it looks like there is connection and might help others too. Take care
love your vids. i loved fixing things when i was young. i became a heating engineer fixing boilers and central heatings for a living. you should try that
I would do this some more. Not all People but some people. For the challenge just make sure to let the People that wanna send something that you want to fix. Just the risk of .... I would take the more difficult challenges. Nice video and keep it coming! Doing this to, and i'm also a amateur. Like the challenges in fixing
I'm hoping one day you get a PS4 with a faulty PS4 camera port on the back - my OG PS4 has that so I had to get a pro to use my PSVR because I can't find any info on how to fix the port on a normal PS4
Get a hot air station or soldering iron and then get rid of the solder on the old port get a new camera port then put it in solder it in and that should work idk anything about ps4 hardware but im guessing that would fix it
Friend thank you very much for the tutorial, and to all who with their comments provided alternatives. I had already tried almost everything to fix the ERROR E100, until I stopped to watch your video and if you were right, format the hdd with the win program, create the usb osu1 and reinstall the original cd-rom boot. Problem solved my Xbox One S is alive again, updated and working properly. Thank you from Puerto Rico
At the end, when you couldn't use the controller to turn off the console at the beginning of the initial setup, wouldn't just pressing the power button once turn it off nicely as well? (As opposed to holding the power, forcing a shut down). Great job on fixing another piece of hardware!
I know this is a super old video but I had this exact issue a few weeks back while learning how to repair Xbox One X's. I swapped disc drives without swapping the internal board of the drives and every time I ran the offline updater it failed as E100. Once I swapped the daughterboards of the disc drives everything worked fine. E100 usually applies to hardware issues in my experience.
Been dealing with this problem for the past year. If anyone sees this, I finally figured out a fix for myself. May not work for everyone. Take your console apart, unplug the hdd and disk drive. (Clean her real good if it needs it.) plug everything back in and bam. No more update loop. Granted I have a feeling I will need to do this every time it throws the code.
The anti static mat is a really good purchase, I've got it too. Just be careful with parts of it as theres a few magnets inside it for holding screws or other things.
I have used it for around 2 months (I think). I would buy it again. You have to give it a good clean as it stinks when new. I left it outside to off-gas for 4 or 5 days and now it is perfect :-) BUT I do not have anything else to compare it to :-)
Xbox One Error E100 Code indicates a hardware update malfunction. According to Microsoft's troubleshooting website, this error is caused by a failed hardware update. The site recommends contacting Microsoft support, and indicates your console will require repair.
Hi vince, love watching your videos, I have learned loads from you, can you tell me if its possible to have two external hard drives for storage on the xbox one s?, I know there is a few videos on RUclips about this, but you never know who you can trust, many thanks,
For future consideration: Microsoft puts a security code on the motherboard to pair the disk drive with the motherboard. So if they don’t match, all it will do is read DVDs and not play any games and if you try to update the console you will get Error E100 (00000703 80910018) since during the update the console checks for any disk drive problems. So if you plan on changing the optical drive you must match it with its married motherboard.
great video keep up the good work one thing i'm curious about is that the Xbox one S is close to £400 new or more in some places but there still using a standard mechanical 5400rpm or 7200rpm 2.5" hard drive surely for that price they could fit a 500GB ssd instead as that would stop this issue from happening in the future also it would improve speed,reliability and load times.
Hello, I was wondering where you get your lots as I want to try fixing some consoles as I have the same building passion as you, however, I don't seem to be able to find these on eBay. I may be searching wrong. Thanks!
Hi, I search these words on eBay....faulty.....broken....spares or repair....not working...I look for ending soonest on All Auctions or newly listed on Buy it Now :-)
@@Mymatevince Thanks! Just one last question I was wondering what type of screwdrivers I should get and if you have any recommendations that are cheap as I have already picked out a multimeter.
So I was having the same problem and finally god has answered, the wires that connect the Hard drive to the Xbox I switched it out with another one then the update started to continue and now I have 2 fully working Xboxs, hope this helps someone.
Liking the vid, but I have to ask about your methods. Did you swap the BD drive before wiping the HDD and it didn't work? It just occurs to me that if the swapped drive was the only issue stopping it updating then the data could have been saved. Seeing as that was the thing that changed prior to failure, it would have to be the logical first thing to check IMO. Having said that, not knocking you & all interesting vids plus the guy got his console working again. Now if there is an issue with the drive at least you can tell him he needs to swap the board over if replacing it... (or just repair whatever the issue was with the original drive.)
I just read the description after posting lol, it was already formatted so there was no data to be saved. Still might have saved you some time checking the original BD drive, wouldn't have been as interesting a video though. FWIW when it kept failing at the write stage consistently on 58% I was thinking damaged HDD as well & thinking a partition might get around the dead area.
I have the same error code and I opened up my Xbox to see the power cord to the disk drive missing I ordered one then installed it and I still get the error code. Do I need to order a new disk drive or hard drive
That's the same problem i have, my Xbox has never been opened and before buying a New drive, i want to know what did he do, yes yes, in the video it's everything, but to be honest i dunno anything about electronics and that stuff so, in other words, i think that he only format the Hard drive with help of a PC, yes he switched the Drive but he put the original, so... I dunno
if you want to fix the e100 error code the correct way is to apply the update from a usb stick.. Now this is where it gets tricky and why so many people fail at this... the update that got stuck applying originally is the exact one you need on the usb stick to finish applying.. the xbox 360 used to do this same thing.. you have to find the exact dated $Systemupdate file folder and once its correct, the update should apply and fix the console..you need to know what disc the update applied from and failed or what the date was approximately when it originally failed and go from there and chose closest update until you find it..this is why so many people keep having trouble with usb fix because it has to be exact..
It's understandable that you do not want to disappoint someone when they send you stuff to fix. But is it really disappointing? From my perspective, i'd rather pay shipping to & from and have an entertaining video to watch than pay someone else to fix it, who doesn't film their fix process. This way, we are actively supporting your channel by having the costs of buying the thing and shipping it covered. It's a "win-win" situation: if you fix it, well it's obviously a good thing; if you don't, we have the video to watch (which is a good thing in itself).
Was the console modded to allow the owner to play home brew games, That is right if the Blu-ray drive is replaced the you need to swap the PCB from the old Blu-ray drive into the new Blu-ray drive.
i have a similar problem with my current xbox.. im getting a mixture of error codes. could it be that my files are corrupted; and that i just need to wipe and replace the old files with the new?? (i never had disk player problems) can i have some help? :(
yes it true, the consoles marry bits and pieces inside the box to make sure they match, change one component like a drive and dont change the chipboard from the old into the new in an attempt to fool it into thinking nothing has changed then it stops the system completely, Nightmare...
Back in the 360 repair days drives used to be interchangeable as long as you extracted the original drives key from the pcb then that key could be spoofed to other drives and the 360 wouldn't be able to tell if the drive was different. You could also just replace the drive without any flashing by transplanting the original drives pcb over to the new drive. As long as the model number and ROM version were the same (4 different kinds of drives used in fat 360s, some needed soldering while others didn't) then the console would have the right kind of drive and the correct drive key so they would work flawlessly. I assume that the same would work here as long as they're the same model drive with the same firmware, pcb swapping should be enough to replace an optical drive. Microsoft have retained a few design elements from the fat 360 days such as the x clamps, metal cage surrounding the board etc, this could be another thing that hasn't changed.
Incredible what you did! I have a question, if someone could help i'll be great, i have the same problem (E100) so in other words, you just format the Hard drive with help of a PC? Or what did you do to the Drive? My Xbox has the original Drive and never has been opened
Future reference but you should never use a USB 2.0 hard-drive dock, even for laptop hard drives (2.5" ones like the Xbox One S uses, etc.). They *can* need up to 5W of power, which only USB 3.0 can deliver. The price difference is not big enough to warrant getting a 2.0, especially when said lack of power can cause intermittent issues that may make you think the drive is failing when it isn't.

Tanner Price I take it you mean bigger hard drive is that was the case why change the optical drive mates no sense

great video Vince, nice fix.
At the end, when you couldn't use the controller to turn off the console at the beginning of the initial setup, wouldn't just pressing the power button once turn it off nicely as well? (As opposed to holding the power, forcing a shut down). Great job on fixing another piece of hardware!
I know this is a super old video but I had this exact issue a few weeks back while learning how to repair Xbox One X's. I swapped disc drives without swapping the internal board of the drives and every time I ran the offline updater it failed as E100. Once I swapped the daughterboards of the disc drives everything worked fine. E100 usually applies to hardware issues in my experience.
Been dealing with this problem for the past year. If anyone sees this, I finally figured out a fix for myself. May not work for everyone. Take your console apart, unplug the hdd and disk drive. (Clean her real good if it needs it.) plug everything back in and bam. No more update loop. Granted I have a feeling I will need to do this every time it throws the code.
I saw the blue mat you're using on Amazon and have considered purchasing it, what are your honest thoughts on it?
The anti static mat is a really good purchase, I've got it too. Just be careful with parts of it as theres a few magnets inside it for holding screws or other things.
I have used it for around 2 months (I think). I would buy it again. You have to give it a good clean as it stinks when new. I left it outside to off-gas for 4 or 5 days and now it is perfect :-) BUT I do not have anything else to compare it to :-)
Xbox One Error E100 Code indicates a hardware update malfunction. According to Microsoft's troubleshooting website, this error is caused by a failed hardware update. The site recommends contacting Microsoft support, and indicates your console will require repair.
Hi vince, love watching your videos, I have learned loads from you, can you tell me if its possible to have two external hard drives for storage on the xbox one s?, I know there is a few videos on RUclips about this, but you never know who you can trust, many thanks,
+My MATE Vince Another superb video!! Congrats on reaching and surpassing 300,000 substers👍🎉
Wipe drive and reformat...Great Vince
Vince do you have a game collection, if so it would be cool to see it. Good video as well!
Love these videos but I have to ask mate. Why are you making most of these on the floor? My back and knees aches just thinking about it.
Maybe because so there's more room?
Its in good condition
"Hmm i dont know that one"
is it really?? DUN DUN DUN..
Good job - I bet Jamie was pleased!
Vince, there is a typo in the description
Thank you, you spotted that one quick. Thanks for letting me know :-)
@@Mymatevince you're welcome!
My Mate VINCE Shouldn't "Andrew Paul video" be "Andrew Paul's video"?
Yep, just changed that as well :-) Thank you.
@@Mymatevince you should make a discord server. It's free, all of your fans can talk together. And they can talk to you.
For future consideration:
Microsoft puts a security code on the motherboard to pair the disk drive with the motherboard. So if they don’t match, all it will do is read DVDs and not play any games and if you try to update the console you will get Error E100 (00000703 80910018) since during the update the console checks for any disk drive problems. So if you plan on changing the optical drive you must match it with its married motherboard.
They are matched but I still get the error code
@@deanweingard4353 same
great video keep up the good work one thing i'm curious about is that the Xbox one S is close to £400 new or more in some places but there still using a standard mechanical 5400rpm or 7200rpm 2.5" hard drive surely for that price they could fit a 500GB ssd instead as that would stop this issue from happening in the future also it would improve speed,reliability and load times.
According to a post on sevensins this happens when an update is applied without the (correct) Blu-ray drive connected.
Thanks for the info :-)
Nice one mate hope the lad ya done it for is grateful for what ya done I would be
Vince, you make me smile =3
Awesome video Vince. :)
Thanks mate :-)
You are awesome! Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Hello, I was wondering where you get your lots as I want to try fixing some consoles as I have the same building passion as you, however, I don't seem to be able to find these on eBay. I may be searching wrong. Thanks!
Hi, I search these words on eBay....faulty.....broken....spares or repair....not working...I look for ending soonest on All Auctions or newly listed on Buy it Now :-)
@@Mymatevince Thanks! Just one last question I was wondering what type of screwdrivers I should get and if you have any recommendations that are cheap as I have already picked out a multimeter.
So I was having the same problem and finally god has answered, the wires that connect the Hard drive to the Xbox I switched it out with another one then the update started to continue and now I have 2 fully working Xboxs, hope this helps someone.
Liking the vid, but I have to ask about your methods. Did you swap the BD drive before wiping the HDD and it didn't work? It just occurs to me that if the swapped drive was the only issue stopping it updating then the data could have been saved. Seeing as that was the thing that changed prior to failure, it would have to be the logical first thing to check IMO. Having said that, not knocking you & all interesting vids plus the guy got his console working again. Now if there is an issue with the drive at least you can tell him he needs to swap the board over if replacing it... (or just repair whatever the issue was with the original drive.)
I just read the description after posting lol, it was already formatted so there was no data to be saved. Still might have saved you some time checking the original BD drive, wouldn't have been as interesting a video though. FWIW when it kept failing at the write stage consistently on 58% I was thinking damaged HDD as well & thinking a partition might get around the dead area.
Hay vince great vids good work, can you tell me please where I can get that blue mat your working on cheers buddy 👍🏼
I love your videos. The only thing I wonder about is: why are you doing it on the floor? :)
I have the same error code and I opened up my Xbox to see the power cord to the disk drive missing I ordered one then installed it and I still get the error code. Do I need to order a new disk drive or hard drive
That's the same problem i have, my Xbox has never been opened and before buying a New drive, i want to know what did he do, yes yes, in the video it's everything, but to be honest i dunno anything about electronics and that stuff so, in other words, i think that he only format the Hard drive with help of a PC, yes he switched the Drive but he put the original, so... I dunno
Great Work Vince
if you want to fix the e100 error code the correct way is to apply the update from a usb stick.. Now this is where it gets tricky and why so many people fail at this... the update that got stuck applying originally is the exact one you need on the usb stick to finish applying.. the xbox 360 used to do this same thing.. you have to find the exact dated $Systemupdate file folder and once its correct, the update should apply and fix the console..you need to know what disc the update applied from and failed or what the date was approximately when it originally failed and go from there and chose closest update until you find it..this is why so many people keep having trouble with usb fix because it has to be exact..
Good job Vince!
Thank you :-)
It's understandable that you do not want to disappoint someone when they send you stuff to fix. But is it really disappointing? From my perspective, i'd rather pay shipping to & from and have an entertaining video to watch than pay someone else to fix it, who doesn't film their fix process. This way, we are actively supporting your channel by having the costs of buying the thing and shipping it covered. It's a "win-win" situation: if you fix it, well it's obviously a good thing; if you don't, we have the video to watch (which is a good thing in itself).
Was the console modded to allow the owner to play home brew games, That is right if the Blu-ray drive is replaced the you need to swap the PCB from the old Blu-ray drive into the new Blu-ray drive.
Haven't watched the full video yet, however you set my Alexa off 🤣🤣 she said something about Wikipedia
Vince is the best Vince is the best
i have a similar problem with my current xbox.. im getting a mixture of error codes. could it be that my files are corrupted; and that i just need to wipe and replace the old files with the new?? (i never had disk player problems) can i have some help? :(
So have the fixable systems been good so far to this point ? Was thinking of doing the same as it is Kinda fun to fix .
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
yes it true, the consoles marry bits and pieces inside the box to make sure they match, change one component like a drive and dont change the chipboard from the old into the new in an attempt to fool it into thinking nothing has changed then it stops the system completely, Nightmare...
Back in the 360 repair days drives used to be interchangeable as long as you extracted the original drives key from the pcb then that key could be spoofed to other drives and the 360 wouldn't be able to tell if the drive was different. You could also just replace the drive without any flashing by transplanting the original drives pcb over to the new drive. As long as the model number and ROM version were the same (4 different kinds of drives used in fat 360s, some needed soldering while others didn't) then the console would have the right kind of drive and the correct drive key so they would work flawlessly. I assume that the same would work here as long as they're the same model drive with the same firmware, pcb swapping should be enough to replace an optical drive. Microsoft have retained a few design elements from the fat 360 days such as the x clamps, metal cage surrounding the board etc, this could be another thing that hasn't changed.
Incredible what you did! I have a question, if someone could help i'll be great, i have the same problem (E100) so in other words, you just format the Hard drive with help of a PC? Or what did you do to the Drive? My Xbox has the original Drive and never has been opened
Awesome video as always
Thank you :-)
The drive was definitely tied to the mobo on the 360 and if you just swapped them a game disc would just come up as a DVD.
Nice of them to make you wait until 58% before they tell you the hardware is locked. Nearly as bad as Apple lol. Good work.
The bluray drive caused the error most likely bc it wasnt married to the xbox motherboard
Future reference but you should never use a USB 2.0 hard-drive dock, even for laptop hard drives (2.5" ones like the Xbox One S uses, etc.). They *can* need up to 5W of power, which only USB 3.0 can deliver. The price difference is not big enough to warrant getting a 2.0, especially when said lack of power can cause intermittent issues that may make you think the drive is failing when it isn't.
Good fix Vince.
I got the same issue in Xbox one x. I don’t understand what you did by adding it to the pc. Did U format it ? Did u put the files from the osu ?
