Might be worth putting the drive back to the stock f/w for the dash you were on, then try to do the update again.
Its always advised to do this, although I didn't with my Live safe slim. With the last two updates, and it had no effect on my firmware.

It could be as simple as a bad download from MS. Try downloading the USB version and trying that.

Im aware of the dos and donts, however you dont know what dash the xbox was on. There has been a few cases where people have tired to update with the drive flashed and its failed, flashing to stock has solved the issue, not saying it will solve to OPs issue but it might.

Might sound stupid but make sure you have a hhd connected... Happened to me once (late night flash) and took me a while to figure it out :facepalm:.
