If Update Fails with Other Errors
If you face an E101 00000507 8B05008E error while offline updating on an Original Xbox One, the OSU1 update is not compatible with your Xbox and you will need to use OSU2 or OSU3 after checking the OS version of your Xbox. If none of the above works, replace the hard drive in your console and retry the update. Otherwise, contact Sony Support.
