    We're still working on a fix for error21.. But it will mean opening the box.. Better to find a pro repairer who has the equipment needed, and has some experience of hdd rebuilds.. There should be someone local to you..

    @ tane 2005 Turn on box..put in live enabled game..switch off and on again...when game starts go to live section..choose update..

    You should get a screen saying Updating.. when it finishes reboot and all should be fine..

    NO , I cant do anything with XBL at all and its been like that since I got softmodded. If I click on register new account , it says Error 21. If I click on sign in it says you need an update and when I try to get it , It brings me to Error 21. When I put in the Multiplayer Map Pack Disc and hit update , it says update failed ... does anyone think this has anything to do with the linux save I used?

    No it's a bug in the live software.. So you have a softmod box..you need to downgrade your dash and then let it update itself again.. The cure is the same as for error 16.. You can try running the game that you modded from and loading the save again.. Sometimes works, just depends how messed up everything has got in there.. :)

    You don't want to be connected to XBL while doing any of this..unplug everything..

    Have a read of this..thanks to TheReturn..
