      HOW I FIXED THIS SITUATION.

      Insert the game DVD of the game that failed to update properly into the DVD drive whilst the 360 is hung on the purple screen. I REMOVED MY MU (SO PERHAPS REMOVE YOUR HDD) HOLD DOWN THE WHITE SYNC BUTTON > CLOSE THE DVD TRAY KEEP THE WHITE SYNC BUTTON HELD DOWN > POWER OFF > POWER ON KEEPING THE WHITE SYNC BUTTON PRESSED ALL THE WAY THROUGH > after the xbox 360 splash screen my box updated as it should it's now fine.

      ANOTHER POSSIBLE FIX

      If your box hung to purple using a backup game, get a copy of the original this should work and finish the update

              apparently there should be a code on the bottom of the message..the cv (current version ) is the number you want.. then i dunno.. google that code number and you may find a downloadable update that you can stick on a usb. this will update ur xbox

                  also found another prtential cause of this prob can be a corrupted profile either main, secondary or whatever...

                                  You tried clearing the system cache?

                                  What FW is on the drive and the revision of the drive. Reason i ask is if its a failed flash then poss it could be asking for the old/new fw
