My xbox 360 keeps saying update failed n i cant get on my xbox page i have no screen 2 get on my sign in or front page it only shows update failed

With the console off hold down the sync button. Continue holding the sync button and power the unit on. Holding the sync button should clear the failed update and allow you to boot to your dashboard.

Purple screen - that reads update failed

I finally found out how to fix this! go to this website :http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4801064/XBOX_360_Update_Files and download the torrent. Follow the directions from the second page of this forum: http://360mods.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=9796 . all you have to do is copy the $systemupdate folder that you need onto a usb drive and plug it into the 360 then turn on your 360. you can find out what number update you need by the number at the botom of the screen or if your like me and dont have those numbers youll have to go back and forth untill it boots up to the right update. make sure your flash drive is cleared out except the $systemupdate folder. go one at a time until it boots up with that update file.
