I am about to have just about every error on my 360, or better said my 360s.
My recent inconvenience is having my 360 prompting for an update for every game i put in to play, even though i just updated it.
And it keeps doing so.
The solution to get rid of this is to clean up your 360’s cache.
To do this, go to your Dashboard, System , Memory and then Hard Drive.
Highlight the drive and press Y for the options.
Now press X, X, LB, RB, X, X.
Now confirm the system maintenance and follow the steps on the screen.
This will clear all your updates, patches, addons and so on, but it will not damage or remove your game saves.
Once the process has been completed, restart your 360 and download again the maps, addons and whatever you might want.
Note: You should be able to “download again” all your updates, maps and games extensions without having to pay for them.
This is the fix that stops this issue (or bug)….or whatever this is.

4Dark, this only clears the cache.
About an year ago, it used to clear not only the cache, but also the updates and packs.
I see now that it only clears clogged data.
You won’t have to download anything though.
Are you having issues with the chat, joining a friend or both?

5Cache clearing may not work under the NXE (New Xbox Experience). While the cache does clear, some games (namely Halo 3 and the original Gears of War) had this issue on my classic 360 (not on my Elite) and clearing the cache does nothing. I reverted the hardware back to the original dashboard, then installed the NXE and updates again, finally fixing this issue. 1-800-4-MY-XBOX will be able to give you full details on how to remove the NXE, as I don’t remember the exact process at the moment.

6It fixed my issue for all my games with one exception: Fifa. This one still updates, but is the only one.
How did you revert back to the original dashboard?
