Your the only person i have found that knew this, i had my disc reader disconnected and it wouldn’t update. As soon as i plugged it in it started to work THANK YOU!

Finally a video that makes sense of Error 100. I bought a lot of 10 consoles off eBay and one of them kept giving error 100. You and Andrew Paul have been God sent. Your script for HDD is the best on KZfaq. Rock ON!!!

I wish I had seen this two days ago. I spent hours fiddling with xbox and replacing the hard disk over and over and using the OSU1 boot file and didn't leave 58%. Watching the video, I realized that I did the whole procedure with the console open and the blue-ray disconnected, then reconnected and the process went smoothly. Thank you very much!!

Great to see another upload XFiX👍 don't leave us so long 😄

You really need to upload more videos. They always help me improve my knowledge and experience with the Xbox One every time.

Hey XFIX, I was impressed with your expertise on the error. I went ahead and swapped the motherboards in the Bluray drives and now the drive is responsivewhich is fantastic. This actually solved my problem thanks a million man!!

Finally! Thank you so much! You are the only one that makes a lot of sense. Please continue making videos like these. I will defined sub!

Thanks for making this video, i didnt do enough research before replacing the blu ray drive and I got this e100 error.

Having this exact problem, and this is the very best video to inform and educate on what needs to be done and what the actual problem is. I did a HDD replacement and now I am getting this error, so I am going to check out the bluray situation and see what I can find. Thank you very much for isolating this issue and making a bullseye video that hits all of the information properly.

Tbh i just came here to thank you ifix you are a god and idk why its been already 2 years and you haven't uploaded more informative content thanks again and i hope you do more of this content thanks

Thanks for the detailed information! I only watched the first 7 minutes of the video to fix my sons console! Thank you!

Thank you for giving this advice and tips and to looking closer to errors. By watching what was wrong I was able to fix my Xbox one.

This video is very informative. I”ll watch it again. My Xbox one fat hdd died on me. It was making clicking sounds. I haven’t taken out the hdd and do some testing. Thank you XFIX for the video.

I think the reason to e100 errors are more common on one S models is not exactly the console itself, but, as being more accessible, there are more people to buy it as a 4K bluray movie player and entertainment center than people who buy One X models which are a more "enthusiast" focused model and when the laser fails, they exchange the laser incorrectly (and movie discs are more intensive to the laser than game ones which are checked once or twice to read licenses), other than people shutting off during system updates.

Bro... this was so awesome for me. I had replaced my blu ray drive in my xbox one and I watched a video that left out the swapping of the daughter board. So when I turned the xbox on with the new drive there was this new E100 error and I was thinking, great what did I screw up now?? When i started your video, you explained how the problem is related to the swapping of the boards in the blu ray drive. So, I swapped the boards and viola! Thanks so much for making this important video!

I upgrade my hard drive from 500gb to 1 tb and I'm having this issue so do I need to replace the blue ray driver now or there is way to fix this with software ?

Hi! Excelent explanation. I have a question. It's possible to "convert" an X-Box One S to an X-Box One S All Digital to avoid this problem with the BDD?

Greatings I've tried to fix the error torugh OSu 1 2 and 3 without getting any result. By the way, If I turn on my console and let it start on its normal way I get the error "E100" , but if I try to solve the from the throubleshoot the error changes to E101. Another issue is that my console is singed in on the insider program, reason I'm wondering: is this issue cause of the error E100?

Very informative. Thanks!

Thank you. I was getting E100 after putting my console back together after another repair. Turned out I just didn't reconnect the optical drive after positioning it during reassembly. Whoops! This helped me identify where the problem was.

You've just earned another sub bro keep goin🔥🔥

I love you sir. You helped me out more then the actual xbox site did

Is it possible to repair if I only unconnected the blue ray and the connected it again? Edit: Ive already repaired my one s, and sometimes when this happens after an hdd change, it's because of the new disk not being compatible, mainly because of the brand

Hello I have an Xbox one x with an alternating e error code, either it's e100 or 102. I plugged the HDD to my computer and I can't see the system support (W:) folder. All others are present. Any ideas what it could it be?

I apologize but my question isnt related to the topic you covered in your video but I cannot find a straight answer online. What size thermal pads are used in the xbox one x? I see 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm thrown around a lot and was hoping you would know for sure.

what if it is the same exact disk drive as bafore but there was something stuck in it and that is why e100 error

Many thanks! Your job is very important!

Please read I wrote alot. So I'm getting an e100 error i just formatted a brand new 1tb hdd same one that orignally came with console using your script and was installing osu1 from a flash key. I get to the point where the restart occurs at around 71% on my system. It restarts and takes me to the power off troubleshoot screen and it says I have an e100. So the system was refurbished but I'm pretty sure the optical drive and mother board are a match because we had the system running well for a few years before the 106 errors started occurring then subsequently the e100s im now seeing. I have two main questions. 1. Is it possible that the e100 error is occurring because a preview dashboard was in use before the 106 errors i tried to fix by formatting a new replacement drive. Still waiting for the newest osu files to be released. Once i have them will I be able to install them and possibly avoid this error from popping back up if its not the true issue. 2. Kind of unrelated to the e100. How does the system know that a preview dashboard was being used. I completely reset the xbox and have installed the new hardrive and have not put in new account information as I can't make it past the offline update. How does the system retain the memory of the preview dashboard without having data from the old hard drive. Is it stored inside the gpu or something? Also how will having the updated osu files help when the most current ones can't operate because of the preview dashboard. Thank you for all the help. I wasn't even able to get the offline update to start without your help. But I've made actual progress so I appreciate it. I have a big expensive computer so this really isn't for me. I'm hoping to have the system fixed up for my dad by Christmas. All this started happening when we weren't able to connect him to the internet and it was like some kind of system cascade failure after I reset the Mac address. Anyways thanks again.

So if I swapped dvd drives and don’t have the original one anymore I’m screwed ? I threw it away and don’t have the daughter board to put in the new disc drive

When this problem comes up, if you cannot find a purchasable or viable replacement of parts, is there any way to maybe turn an S console into a SAD console and simply not have a blu ray drive?

So what do you do when you have the error 102 and you plug hd in pc and it says "the drive is not accessible. The request failed due to a fatal hardware error."

Hello! My Xbox one S had problems with reading discs then after some weeks it wasn't working at all anymore not even starting to read. Now after that in a few weeks I also got E100 error while updating. Is it probably because my blu ray driver died? I mean probably.. do you think if I bring it to service and get the complete driver replaced will help? Thank you!!

Is there a way to tell if the motherboard and daughter board in the BD Drive are the matching? Maybe parts of the serial code are the same?

Are the log files meant to be present on an X1x's HDD? I'm getting an E100 error now on my X1x but I can't diagnose because I don't have the log files D:

Hi, when i hold the eject and pair buttons to reset i get 1 power up tone quickly followed by power down tone, any idea why? Any help appreciated, thanks

Can you help there was a problem with a update on my one s kept getting stuck on 93% so went to troubleshoot and tried restoring didn't work made a osu drive and when I started told me i had a e101 error. I started the osu update once more it's on 0% should i restart and try once more ? What's the solution thanks

Hey are you gonna do the HDD upgrades for the Series X.

i have the exact error you had but there’s a loud knocking sound that happens every 10 seconds or so. i also pulled a few coins out of the disc drive and the xbox booted okay after i cleaned out the disc drive. what could i try?

@XFix I am trying to find a definitive answer on upgrading the Xbox 360 drive. Most of the internet says you can only use a small number of WD hard drives, while I've seen some people shove an SSD in there but not explain how. People are claiming you need to jail break your system for anything other than WD drives. Then people are also claiming that Microsoft or the console itself (the answer changes) can tell if the drive is not official and will result in a console ban. Can you please offer some educated insight on this?

I pulled the data cable out of the blueray and accidentally pulled off the data connector block on the blueray drive. Trying to put this back on I damaged the pins. So I purchased a new blueray drive and when I opened them up I have now realised that the pins are directly on the daughter board. Is there ANYTHING I can do here ?

can you show where the xbox one s soldering points to add led stripes are?

I did a HDD -> SSD swap on my Xbox One X and got an E100 error. Turns out when I unplugged the Blu-ray drive from the system the plastic clip pulled out of the drive a little bit so the pins in the drive weren’t contacting the contacts in the plug. I went through the startup error log and found that the system wasn’t detecting the drive. I took a fine tip Philips head and pushed the plastic clip back in the drive so the pins were exposed again. Plugged her in and it started right up.

well my bluray drive broke the other day and my xbox auto updated now im stuck on the E100 error! Any suggestions?

Hi mister, I wonder if I can switch a 960GB SSD to my Xbox internal drive? I know 1TB should work fine, but that's a whole 1024GB. What about 960GB TLC devices? Can I use that internally?

so a daughter board without the mechanical parts but still plugged in wont work even if the daughterboard is the original? assuming the board is still good? im going to try this. but i want clerifacationand if so just replacing the mechanical side should solve the e100 UNLESS? the board is got a bad component? alas how would one know without trying and the firmware was just corrupt so the now rebuilt drive that does pair because its the original daughterboard, is repaired by the osu1. which is only for slim systems. please and thanks in advanced.

You sir, are doing the Lord's work. My xbox one x had a hard drive failure and I followed a combination of your videos and links and was able to not only replace but upgrade my hard drive. The unit is now working better than ever. I did run into an e100 error in the process where it would get stuck during the update, but that is because I had removed the blu ray drive to get to the hard drive but once I plugged it back in I was able to finish the update and the process. Can't thank you enough!

Ok so if you have misplaced or lost the original xbox one disc drive and have a new one already in it how do you fix it? Like is there a way to “pair”the disc drive to the xbox

hey xfix, I am gonna replace my xbox one s hard drive. is WD Black or Baracuda pro better?

thank you so much!!!! i tried an update and had this error, forgetting ive unplugged the dvd drive lol.. you've saved me so much time and effort! thank you so much

My Xbox keeps on like freezing or not listen, and when I load a game it crashes and I start the game up again and random error keep on coming when I try to load the game ect

I tried taking apart my xbox one x but thought I had all the right tools but didn't. I think changing the hard drive would resolve my issues. You mentioned you had an ebay service. Does that mean people send consoles to you and you fix them? If yes I'd like to do that. I would go to a local shop but I don't know how familiar they are with installing your scripts.

Hello, greetings from Utah. With regard to the first minute and a half of this video, how does this work exactly? Can I sub in any original Xbox One disk drive? As long as the board in the drive and the main board can talk to each other will it work? I recently purchased an xbox with this error and found that they had tried to replace their original disk drive with an aftermarket one (non-xbox original) it didn’t work, and now I also don’t have that original disk drive. Am I out of luck?

Can I get more information about your eBay service, I want to upgrade my XB1X to 2TB SSD

My xbox series X thats barely 2 weeks old just got this error, is it possible blue ray wires got damaged or something of that sort ? It did 1st system update when i got it fine. But 2nd system update (2 weeks later) i got E100 error. Offline update didnt work

I wish I would have seen this a week ago. I have spent hours messing with the xbox and replacing the hard drive over and over and using the OSU1 boot up file. Stops at 58% each time. Now I am going to search for your blue ray repair video, I hope you have one.

Do I have to put the front part of the Xbox back on or can I leave it off

If I put the original disk drive back in, will it work?

So I got a question I have the e102 error and it will not even factory reset or anything what do i do?

ive been trying to add a seagate 1tb drive to my XboxS and ive been getting E106 or E100 errors and the new drive stops at 6%. ive cloned the drive which might i add at the very end of the cloning my anti virus freaked out and closed everything saying there was malware... and then ive tried last night as a fresh partition setup install with the USB thumbdrive OSU 1 2 and 3 with no luck.. do you have any tips??

Can I put the original disc drive back in to fix

Hello I'm having an E102 error can you help I have a 64GB flash to download the latest update to perform

I am facing E100 error but didn't swapped or replaced anything....except changed BD sata data cable but no result. Any advise pls? I am broken right now same as my xbox one s...

Thanks for another great video. The error logs are really useful - they showed in my case that the ODD wasn't detected and I was able to get it back up and running by replacing the SATA data cable. Doesn't appear to be very easy to find an exact replacement cable in Europe. The size and plug orientation is a bit different and it's quite a tight squeeze when everything goes back in. A 13mm clearance is required below the hard drive.

Bro this video saved me so much headache thanks bro👊🏾

For some reason every time I plug in my desktop to the monitor this seems to happen

i got an 1st gen xbox one, 500 gb for 25 dlls and keep the 100´s errors, i´m trying rigth now the update with an usb, if that doesn´t work i will have to purchase a matching mobo and blu ray ?

I know this is an older video now, but I figured it's worth a shot. I am having the same issue you have described, but when I open the logs in the support partition, I see a different error. I see "GetOddPhysicalDevice Failed, COddDevice::_Open Failed! Odd Open failed, retry in one second" over and over. Updates hang around 58ish percent as stated. I checked connections, it all looks good. This was a refurb unit, but I've had no issues with it for a few years until now. Why???

I have the digital version with e100 error and it's stuck in the loop what should I do ?

Found an issue! Make sure no other drive on your pc already has the GUID value that is required for the drive. It was causing mine to get an incorrect GUID when I ran the script

Good night friend, how are you? My console, Xbox one FAT is crashing in an update in the application part and whenever I restart it goes back to that same part, I took the hd and did some of the processes of your videos to create the partitions and return to the console with the OSU. But in the same way he returns to the update and just stays there. Would you help me?

IS THERE A WAY to partition a 5tb hard drive in an xbox one x to 2tb internal and 3tb external?

so what is the cause of e100 on an all digital xbox one s?

Kept getting this error code on my Xsx. tried everything then saw this video. I had removed my disc drive awhile back so all I simply had to do was reconnect my disc drive and system was able to update. Thank you!!

Thank you for this video, helped me fix my xbox

Question: what about the all digital versions of the xbox one s?

Really works, thanks alot..

I didn’t understand, so do I have to buy a new console or is it fixable at home?

I always get this on my Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition but i can always get it working again through hours of persistence by just hard resetting, unplugging and factory resetting over and over again until one time it decides to finally work and get through the update process but more than 90% of the time it will fail and its a very tedious process and happens all the time for me.

hey i've once took out the blueray drive and put it back in and it still shows the e100 error i tried all the e100 fixes as well i took my old ps4 hard drive didnt work as well

you really fix my problem i love u man, thanks so much i realle apreciate this video so happy

Thank you!!! I was so confused and this helper me fix my xbox. Thanks man 👍

i had an xbox one s with an e100 00000701 80070571 error. not sure if the odd was broken but i replaced the hdd and did the partition and osu update and it seemed to boot. did not test it any further than the sign in screen. tried to plug in original hdd into pc and it seemed corrupted.

What if it's a 102 error goes through the set up but my USB will not pick up my external hdd

Hello friend I need help with my XBOX One x that when I am in the dashboard the applications for example of the Microsoft Store close it closes when I want to start and the screen turns black and the console proceeds to turn off I changed the hard disk changed for a lot hard drive and still with the same problem I returned the original hard drive and still with the same problem I do not know if it could be some nand flash or a southbrige many of these things that can affect the console and the disarmed several times e verified power supply is all right and I do not know what to do

Now that they sell the all digital Xbox one S with no blueray drive, do you think there's hope? I'm thinking along the lines of tricking a regular xb1s to think it's an all digital Xbox. Just a thought.

E100 isn't necessarily due to the disc drive, or a faulty HDD! I had an Xbox One X with a faulty Seagate drive (caution on CrystalDiskInfo) and error code E101 I think. Replaced the hard drive with a Toshiba drive of the same size (1TB). After this I kept getting E100, at boot and after trying an offline system update (straight after verification stage) no matter what I did. Replaced sata cable on the disc drive. No dice. Disc drive still took a disc in and powered up though. I was ready to chalk it up to a faulty disc drive daughter board, but I decided to do more testing. I then replaced the HDD with an identical Toshiba 1TB; same result. Bear in mind both Toshiba hard drives were healthy (manufactured 2021, model MQ04ABF100 ). I checked the logs in the SystemSupport partition as shown in the video; mine just had 0.log and it was empty. It would fail just after verification so I'm assuming it didn't even try updating. Finally, I formatted the original Seagate HDD , on Windows using diskpart clean. Installed it back in, it went straight past verification and installed software no problem, if a little slow. No E100. In conclusion, I think the Xbox one doesn't like certain hard drives. So if you're getting E100, it may not be your disc drive.

Hey man, I'm having an issue with my One X and I'm really hoping you can help me troubleshoot. All of my games are crashing on startup, I've tried every troubleshoot that Microsoft has recommended and nothing has worked. I followed your walk through on swapping the HDD and once I reinstalled my games I'm still having the same issue. I'm pretty certain its a hardware issue but I don't know exactly what. Any help would be greatly appreciated as the console is just out of warranty and I can't afford to send it for repairs. Thanks in advance for your help!

I remember the 360 being similar to this. The daughter board in the DVD drive had to match the MB. Can the XB1 be fixed in the same fashion? I recently discovered your channel and I can't get enough! Thanks you for all the info.

I keep getting the e 105 error code then I reset or restart my Xbox then the e102 error code comes up, I had it fixed once they put more thermal paste and fixed a couple corrupted areas on hard drive worked great for a month the the other day the code came back up I reset it redownloaded the system and installed game and been working fine again for 2 days, what’s your advice to do from here? Upgrade the hard drive? Or what I’m lost and can’t seem to find exactly what’s causing it to mess up

Man imfreaking out.. I apparently did something wrong and got error106... and NOW I cant even reset my xbox because I dont have a usb flash... will a blank sshd work if I can get it to format to ntfs and plug it in via 2.5 to usb cable

I swap my Blu-ray Drive like a dummy because mine stopped working well never worked if I swept back to the original will it work again

Im having this issue on Fat, what could be the cause?

Thanks for this saved me from having to get a new one

This helped immensely

Cheers for this bro I actually used this info to fix my brothers Xbox cause he took the disk drive out for some reason but the Xbox is all workin good now, too bad it broke 2 years ago and he already has a new one

Bro no way dude thank you so much only guy online that has helps me fix my Xbox dude 10/10 ❤

thanks for all the info and help g unit

I recently replaced my HDD on my Xbox one x After getting an e106 error repeatedly, until offline updating no longer worked. I’ve never swapped my optical drive, however now I’m receiving this e100 error. Mine is slightly different I think given the system is an x (e100 00000706 80070002) however I believe it’s the same issue. Any advice or is this system now junk??

what i need to do if i have e102 or e103 error

Yes finally a video that fixed my problem I just relived my cord wasn’t hooked in I was scared I was about to loose the console I saved up for myself
