First of all, hello, I'm new here and to the Xbox world. I've been on Playstation forever...
Just picked up an Xbox one from a kid who said "it just needs a USB update"... so I looked it up, no big deal....E102...should be an easy fix...right? Maybe.
So I came here, and educated myself a bit before I came knocking on your door. I understand that Xbox uses ntfs file system, and uses five partitions to make things work correctly. I have operating system 1610.160920-1900.... which from what I understand, is one of the latest versions? I've had the console for two weeks, never got the thing to update or whatever, and I read yesterday that a new 1608 update came out on the fourth??
Anyway... I have a laptop running Linux Mint.... I don't know much about Linux, but can follow instructions. So I followed the instructions to build a Xbox One hard drive... the original drive is toast... won't read in Windows, won't register in Gparted. So I get a new drive. It's 640gig, I format it at 500gb in Gparted to ntfs. Great. Run over to Terminal and create the partitions with xboxonehdd.py. It creates the partitions, with a message saying that they aren't alligned correctly...which I understand isn't that big of an issue...?
Now...here's where it gets a bit confusing....
I'm using OSU1 because, from what I understand, it will work with even the Xbox One S....
I've read to copy folders A and B to "system update", as well as leave the "updater.vxd" outside of the folders, yet still included in the drive. I've also read NOT to copy anything to the drive at all, then just run the hdd.py script again, then plug it in and update. Not sure which one is correct because of my next issue:
I cannot get the xboxonehdd.py script to run again. The final step to get this working is to run the original script to finalize everything. Whenever I type "sudo python ./xboxonehdd.py sdc", it just runs through the naming partitions bit...telling me I need to run mkxboxfs.sh again.
I've tried this with OSU2, 3, 1...with Jrunner...nothing works.
I'm stuck. I appreciate the help in advance.
