How to unlock the Perfect Explorer achievement in ARK: Survival Ascended - Definitive Guide
This achievement is buggy and requires the Bob's Tall Tales DLC to unlock.
Just a warning: It isn't recommended that you buy the DLC in the hopes that you can refund it afterward, as refunds are at Microsoft's sole discretion.
The command GiveAllExplorerNotes should be enough to pop this, but it may take some time to register. If it doesn't pop after 10-15 minutes, try deleting all single-player data in the game, and if that does not work, try deleting your data for the game from everywhere through Xbox.
To delete single-player data, press the "Delete all single-player data" button on the single-player tab.
To delete the game data, go to manage game and add-ons>Saved Data>Profile Data>Delete from everywhere. (This will reset the skins you earn from achievements, the map, character presets, etc., but will NOT affect achievements you have unlocked previously)
Re-enter the GiveAllExplorerNotes command again and wait till it pops.

Did you have the DLC purchased or downloaded when you got this achievement? Or did you do anything other than what you've outlined?
I've tried your methods above, I've even left it running for an hour just to be sure but to no avail.

I had the DLC downloaded, and before I retried the command with the DLC installed, I wiped single-player data and my Xbox data for the game. It's still a buggy achievement sometimes, and sometimes it feels like luck if you get it to work.
Also, let me know if you find another fix to get yours to work, and I'll include it in the solution for others having the same problem.

UNOBTAINABLE - As of patch 36.4, this is currently locked behind paid DLC; however, hopefully this will be fixed in the future and the method below will work to unlock this as intended.
Simply use the admin command cheat GiveAllExplorerNotes.
This will unlock all explorer note related achievements, as well as, Veteran Paleontologist (50G).
