5. Select Clear System Cache.
6. Confirm the action.
7. Restart your console

Solution 7 – Power cycle your console

If other solutions don’t work, you might want to perform a factory reset. This option will usually delete all files from your console and reset it to the original state.

This means that you’ll delete all your accounts, saved games, settings and files. If you want to keep your files, we strongly suggest that you back them up to a USB flash drive before starting the reset process.

To reset your Xbox to factory settings, do the following:

1. Open the guide by scrolling left on the Home screen.
2. Select Settings and go to All Settings.
3. Choose System > Console info & updates.
4. Select Reset console.
5. You should see two options available: Reset and keep my games & apps and Reset and remove everything. We suggest that you use the first option since this option will only reset your console and delete potentially corrupted data without deleting games and other large files. If that option doesn’t work and the problem still persists, be sure to use Reset and remove everything option. This option will delete all downloaded games, saved games, accounts, and applications, therefore if you want to preserve some of your files, we suggest that you back them up before using this option.

Xbox error PBR9002 will prevent you from purchasing content online, but you should be able to fix it by using one of our solutions.

If the problem still persists, you might want to call Microsoft support and ask them to unblock your card.
