Updating an Xbox One with a USB stick is a three-step process
Those looking to update their systems offline will need a USB stick with at least two gigabytes of space on it, and will need to format it as NTFS on their computers. After checking their OS version on their Xbox One consoles, they can then download one of two compressed files to their computer from the Xbox support page, unzip them and copy the contents to the root of the USB stick. Given that the system isn't out yet and players can't check for their OS version, those looking to get a head start on the process will need to account for that missing nugget of information.
After setting up their USB stick, the next step is to power off and unplug your Xbox One, plug the power cord back in after 30 seconds then hold the bind and eject buttons while turning the system on. The console will emit two power-up tones after 10-15 seconds, at which point owners can release the two buttons and wait for the system to automatically restart, completing the update process. Microsoft says the button combination forces the console to search for a USB drive update, which isn't the default chain of operations when the Xbox One normally boots up.

extfex I thought they stated that USB sticks cannot be used on the Xboner
Well they said that no external space was compatible, but I guess it is. Still MS messed this console up a bit, they will bring another one out like the Xbox 360 Slim.
Yeah, with a doubt they will bring out an Xbone S, thats why they made this one so fat

ext Shouldn't even be a three step process, should a "1" step process, MS made the Xbox One stupid.
Yeah It should just be click, download/install, done.

Lavish At least it can be done.
Someone that can follow simple instructions should be able to do it.
It really doesn't look like a too hard process to undertake.

BallparkTouchableTX_F1ERCE_TX Very simple and easy to do. Can't wait until the mods start coming in.No. Just no. I hope the Xbox One never gets hacked, at least not as much as the 360. But we all know it will eventually...
I think there will be a "Jtagish" sort of thing that will be implemented onto the Xbox at a very early point. Its like jailbreakers to the iPhones
Let's be real here, the technology that was turned into a JTAG is a decade older than this.
I'm sure they made this "unJTAGable", hahaha.
