In your case it would be much easier to save home volume and all other things you want to preserve, install fresh image from today, install kernel from staging repo and restore everything you have backed up

Long story short and after sending 2 hours searching the forum and check if the sources list was correct (it was) in desperation i executed "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update", and somehow it solve the problem....

I cant post any logs if you guys think it will help future users.

Congratulation

Logs not required anyway. You did exactly that what the build-in upgrade procedure does (reinstalling xbian-update)
