How to unlock the Stick it to the Man achievement in Dead Rising 3 - Definitive Guide

(This method was discovered by me.)
READ THE WHOLE THING BEFORE DOING THIS!
PLEASE DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOU LOSE YOUR DATA FOR WHATEVER REASON

This is super easy to get but multiple things can cause this to glitch.
(You did a new game, the game crashed, you loaded up a previous check point, or the worse offender; it just simply glitches.)

This is what you'll need to do to hopefully fix the problem and get the achievement.
Go to "My games & apps", press the start button over Deaad Rising 3 and select "Manage game".
Move all the way to the right and find your gamertag, press A.
Select "Delete from console". ("Delete everywhere will permanently delete your file, don't pick that.)
Now go to the systems "Settings" and select "Network" to disable your internet connection. (Or just remove your ethernet if you aren't using WiFi)

PHEW! Still with me?
Boot up the game real quick while offline and save the gamma settings. Once at the main menu you can go ahead and quit out.
Reconnect to your WiFi connection (or plug back in your ethernet) and boot the game again.
After you Press A at the main screen it will ask you to select either brand new local file (This console) or your old cloud file (Xbox Live). SELECT NEITHER!
Picking one will overwrite the other, instead click the bottom option "Stop syncing". You will still play with the brand new file but it will not overwrite your old one.
Now boot up Episode 3 and move as fast as possible to get out of the police station.
Start hunting down the Emergency Phones which are marked as bright yellow circles with yellow squares in them.
You shouldn't really worry about leveling up but I highly suggest you get to level one and put a attribute into "Smarts" so you can find all the phones with a lot less hassle.

Make use of your DLC vehicles.
Destroy all Emergency Phones in one sitting to reduce the chances of you deleting your old save by accident or the achievement glitching again.
Once you get this done, quit out and boot the game one final time to select your old Xbox Live save file and get your old save data back.

Thankfully I didn't encounter any problems playing normally for this achievement so that's a plus. I would still suggest people listen to this guide just in case. Great guide btw!

So the achievement unlocked for me.. it's strange cause I didn't try the method posted. I just waited till the next day to play and I noticed it was already unlocked for me even though I didn't see a notification. Maybe it just fixes itself after awhile

Could be a server-side patch BeCool.
Glad this helped some people.

Would I be able to just reset my character stats and try that?

You could try that but then afterwards you would have no way of getting your leveled character/any stats you had towards other achievements back.

This method allows you to get back all your old stuff instead of having to start from scratch again.

Delete your save and do everything else as I've instructed in the guide above, hopefully you'll unlock the achievement.

I didn't actually have the issue with this achievement, but I did have a problem with some opportunities in the new Hitman that weren't counted properly in a similar way, and I remembered reading this solution when I completed the game, so I decided to try the same method but with that game instead. It worked perfectly, so thank you, for getting me a completely different achievement!

The only problem I had with this one, was it took about 10 minutes to pop.

Will try this out soon mine was glitched didnt pop at 20/20. So when does the achievement exactly pop in that guide? After collecting the 20 in one session file or when i switch back to original save?

It should unlock right when you meet the criteria, it's possible you're getting a server side achievement delay glitch.

This glitched on me and I saved it for last, followed directions until you had me load up the game again, I just finished it, once I got the last one, I turned online back on popped in about two minutes.

I can confirm this method still works. I was using XB1 series X to complete.

If it helps anyone who sees this before getting the last emergency phone... I knew of the possible "issues" this achievement was going to have. So I made a save (hit start->save game) right before I destroyed the last one. And surprise, surprise, it glitched on me. I quit my game, then continued story on episode 3, then went and got it and it unlocked.

Hope this helps someone.

Think I did something wrong as after I got the achievement I went to load my save up but brought me up as a level 10 character instead of my level 50?

The game however remembers I had 2 days left in the main game and that I have gold starred all the challenges but all collectable are showing up on the map?

The achievement did not unlock on my first attempt, so I followed the guide but altered the steps to make sure I didn't lose my original save. I followed everything in the guide, I just never connected back to Xbox live until after I destroyed the 20 phones. I then deleted the current save, connected back to live and as soon as I did. Achievement popped. It should load back up your original save but if it asks, select the cloud save option. It may take the progress tracker a few hours to update.

This is part of the Chaos Rising DLC.

There are 20 Emergency Phones that you need to destroy; 5 in each area. They will be marked on your in-game map via a solid yellow dot, however the indicator will only appear when you are close to an Emergency Phone.
