Prepare

  • be sure your XO is turned off
  • plug your XO to a power source.
  • plug the USB stick into any one of the three USB ports.

Start

  • hold down all four gamepad keys (on the right side of the screen, above the power button).
be sure to get all four.
  • while still holding the four gamepad keys, push the power button to turn the XO on.
You may need your other hand to do this.
  • keep holding down the four gamepad keys until the message "Release the game key to continue" appears on the screen.
This will happen fairly quickly, a couple seconds at most.

Go

  • Release the gamepad keys. If you see a grid of black and other colored boxes on your screen, congratulations! Your XO is reflashing.
  • Just sit back and let it do its thing.
It will take about 10 minutes

Done

  • your XO will automatically reboot when it is done.
Your XO may reboot twice, playing the little XO tune both times.
  • it will reboot automatically and ask you for a name, as if it were brand new.
In extreme cases of software failure you may need to remove the power source and the battery if any light keeps flashing in your XO.
