Halo 2 on 360 Problem

I just got the Halo 2 game from eBay (excellent condition), starts up and runs fine, but when I try to sign in with Xbox Live, it says that it needs to update, which I saw continue, then it brings up the old style Xbox Live screen, attempts to update, but says it's unable. I can play single player, but it wont let me play on Xbox Live without the update.

Has anyone else had this problem, and found a way to fix it?

ive had to get those updates to play, but it never said unable to download. i think it just ran an update like that yesterday or day before.

i take it that you have the backwards compatability download if it loads the game.

beats me. have you tried it again?
 
I've been able to download all the other updates for my 360 games with no problems, but since this is an original xbox game it's different. I never downloaded a compatibility program, but if it works then I guess it already is compatible...
 
I have the Premium, so it has the 20GB hard drive.

I did some searching online and im going to manually try to apply the backwards compatibility update and see if that works. I also read that you need to have at least 2 original xbox games, but im not sure if thats true or not.

im pretty sure that thats not true. i have just halo 2 and it works fine. you could allways download the update and burn it onto a cd r disk
 
I just tried getting the update, putting it on a DVD, and installing it. It works fine and all, but Halo 2 still wont work. I'll take some pics and post back.
 
Ok, this is what it looks like when I attempt to play Halo 2 online:

That is quite weird, never had this issue. I would give Xbox a call at 1-800-4MY-XBOX, the customer support from MS has been surprisingly helpful. I am sure they will help you sort it all out in no time at all.
 
Just wondering before I call, but when other people had to get the update, did it go through the same process as mine (besides the error)?

Yes, any update with Halo 2 or an original Xbox game goes back to the original Xbox dashboard.
