have you tried pushing b as soon as it starts? in hopes to get to the dashboard? you said you have downloaded the update cd? if so, why not just use that to install?

Put in the last game you had in it and reboot the 360. If that doesn't help, try downloading the update and burning it to a cd rw. Google is your friend.

call ms maybe they have a solution that doesnt require sending it to them.
try turning it on without any hdd or memcard in it and put in a game and play for a few mins then turn off and try with hdd or memcard.

one question...did u ever remove the hdd while the 360 was turned on??? cause i think that might cause something like this to happen maybe if it was in the middle of saving something. similar to turning it off when it is saving can cause corruption.

If you send me questions on Live about modding or anything related i will block you. Dont be an idiot.

maybe if u put the hdd in a different 360 if it will et u acces it maybe u can format it from there and start over? or put a diff hdd into the console in question and see if it resets anything.

No no no, press and hold the sync button and the power button at the same time, it will wipe out that update and you can start again.

taking it apart is not going to fix it magically. Have you tried putting the game back in and seeing what happens?
