How to update console when banned

[arbyman]

Hi all
I have tried to update my friends console as he is banned from Live. I thought if you copied the latest update from M$ to a USB or burn to a CD-R, it would detect the update and do it. However, it doesn't work on either! I have tried a DVD-R as well. Is there another way to update the console or is it because its banned it won't update?

Are you sure the 360 could see your USB stick and did you turn it off/on as suggested?

Another way to do it is to buy/rent a game with the update you want on the disc.
