Ok, so I have recently been having some trouble completing achievements in my MCX360. I currently have 780, so I know that they worked previously but I cannot for the life of me get them to work now. The last achievement I got was defeating the Ender Dragon and it was last week. Now, I can't seem to get any of the remaining achievements.
Let me explain: this started when I went to get the When Pigs Fly achievement. I had been looking/fishing/farming for a saddle for weeks now to no avail. Luckily, I stumbled upon one while clearing out a chasm and happening upon a dungeon. So I go get my carrot on a stick, slap that saddle on a pig and take off. First, I fell about 6 blocks. I took some damage, but didn't get the achievement. So I tried going higher; about 8-9 blocks. once again, I took some damage but didn't get the achievement. So now I dug down below the hill I was on so that the drop was at least 20 blocks, jumped down, took a ton of damage, killed the pig, and still didn't get the achievement.
This made me curios. I then went on to complete my railroad connecting both my villages to my Iron Farm (constructed out of a desert temple). It almost goes from corner to corner of the map. It is easily 500 blocks in a single direction. I road it from one side to the other and nothing. I tried again with powered rails. Nothing. Now I was getting upset. What finally tipped me off that this might be a glitch is my efforts to tame an ocelot. At this point, I was taking no chances. I switched the difficulty back to medium from peaceful (as I swap it down when I'm planning on building something large and time consuming outside my castle) and went into the jungle. Not 3 minutes later did I have myself a new kitty. But STILL no achievements. Note that I quadruple checked; all 3 of these efforts had NOT been completed yet.
So after reading online I found that taking a map into creative mode will disable the achievements. I didn't do that, but I thought maybe someone did while goofing around on my profile, or perhaps something similar happened while I was in the menus (taking off that damn fire mechanic). So I decide to load up a completely new seed, put it on peaceful, and spend 2 hours running around finding every last sub-biome. After completing my map, climbing every mountain, jumping every canyon, and diving in every lake/river I STILL didn't have the achievement.
Thats when I came to you guys. I don't know what to do. I've tried everything and troubleshot the best I know how. Please tell me one of you has had this experience and knows how to remedy it.
Not every world will have every biome needed, so multiple worlds may be needed for that. If your normal world was disabled, try getting an ocelot in a new world and see if that works. If it does, I'll get you the rail and pig ones for you since those would be a pain in a new world.
Keep in mind that using any of the host privileges also disables the world for getting achievements (in addition to disabling leaderboards).
BTW, if you do want to get the pigs fly in your own world, just use a seed from the seed list where people have given the coordinates of a dungeon with a saddle. For the on a rail, you can get it quicker even in a new world if you just use iron rails (laying them down quickly just along one edge of the map... and then use a furnace minecart to push you along the track. You can also avoid crafting the rails if you use a seed where you know the location of an abandoned mineshaft.
I have found a saddle in my new world so hopefully I will have a definitive answer as to whether or not my achievements are glitched. The Biome achievement is whats troubling me right now because I definitely should have it. I have filled out at least 5 maps on 5 different worlds. If the achievements are not glitched, I'll go look up a seed to deal with that.
As for the host privileges, I don't think I have ever enabled them. I have never been able to fly like in creative mode, so that would be a big tip as to whether or not they had been turned on. I'll have more information later today. Thanks!
Ok guys, I have an update at last. I tested both the Kitty Cat achievement and the When Pigs Fly achievement on the brand new survival world with no host privileges. I was able to get neither. My achievements are definitely glitched. If anyone knows a mod to contact it would be nice. Being so close to completing this game and not being able to do so is going to ruin my minecraft experience. I'm really starting to get agitated by all the work I've put into completing these achievements and not being able to get any of them.

Since this is not happening to everyone, perhaps you got a bad download of the TU. Try:
1) Backing up your game save files to a USB (using the Xbox main dashboard (Settings - Storage - Minecraft - "name of game save"
2) Then, deleting the TU and clearing your Xbox cache (see instructions on Xbox Support website).
3) Then, reinstalling the TU.
4) If you did step 2 correctly, your game save files should be OK without reinstalling them from the backup; but if they aren't, you can then use the backup copy to recopy them to the hard drive.
If that doesn't work, you can then try doing the same; but deleting the original Minecraft game file as well as the TU.
Well, I tried both of your suggestions. deleting the Title Update did nothing and reinstalling it didn't help. Doing the same thing with the game as a whole did nothing either. Just to double check and make sure I wasn't crazy, I went back and looked at the map when I did my minecart ride. The X coordinates were -299 to start and 240 to stop. It definitely meets the criteria. I also checked the achievements with the flying pigs. Nothing is working

This may be a problem with Xbox Live rather than just Minecraft. I've just had a different game entirely fail to unlock a couple of achievements that I know should have unlocked. Can anyone else confirm this?
6 Years ago?!? This was the only place that was having the same problems as me, I'm very new to this site, so forgive me if I do something wrong. Since I don't know how to make Threads, I'll just reply to this one. I'm trying to get the When Pigs Fly Achievement and some others, so I start off with the Achievement where you Craft the pickaxe for the first time and then later craft a Furnace to get the Iron Furnace mask and the Torch Headband rewards. Frankly, it didn't work. I crafted it a second time using the old crafting system. Nothing. What's even worse is that I already have the achievement, so I should already have it. Yet it's still locked, can anybody help me?

Mind you then Nether and End should also count; there are also odd biomes like Mushroom Shores and Jungle Edge biomes, so keep that in mind.

My friend can't get Adventuring Time, so this seems to be a recurring glitch, for which you may need to wait for an update to fix.

Was it a time period that you couldn't unlock any achievements or just for specific games? It seems like a very odd glitch.
