360 wont go past update required screen

[tazzbr60]

when i turn it on it does the xbox splash screen, then it says cannot find update disc please reinsert disc, when i boot with game in drive it says same thing, when i press A to continue it looks like its going to update then it stops and says system cannot be updated please contact microsoft.   system has been opened and the x clamps been remove and fixed with the mod.  any ideas on what this could be?

With the console off, press and hold the sync up button (the small white one)
While holding the sync button press the power button to turn on the console
Continue to hold the sync button until the Console has booted up completely.
During the boot process the console should clear any failed updates, allowing you to use it normally.- from google

Did you try and update from a gamedisc, you sayin it failed and won't proceed anymore?

i tried update from two different game disc and yes when update fails it wont go any further, should i hold the sync button with game in it or just with nothing in the drive

i held the sync button then push power button and it still went to cannot find update disc  reinsert disc

go to the thread with all the update files for the 360 somewhere on this forum, or right off the xbox.com website. grab the latest one, burn it to cd/dvd, pop it in. you may have to start the console with the disk already in the drive.

would  changing the firmware on the dvd drive do anything to help my problem, already tried to burn update disc and update 360 with no success

not at all, this is a system thing, nothing to do with the drive.
