hi,
can't do this without an active network connection
unless Ι lost something in FAQs page

had exactly the same issue (RC3, raspberry b+) , but in this case you can/could connect an usb-keyboard to your raspberry,
than start xbian-config , stop+autostart service xbmc, do a reboot, when the system starts up , it will show you a tty,
then you can do "ifconfig eth0 <raspberry's-ip> up" at your usb-kb, you should have a network-connection now.

an other solution is: simply do a rollback from your last snapshot ( at your usb-kb in tty ), and reboot
examples:
a) btrfs-auto-snapshot rollback root/@last_good_known
b) btrfs-auto-snapshot rollback root/@btrfs-auto-snap_regular-2015-01-18-1910
c) btrfs-auto-snapshot rollback root/@btrfs-auto-snap_daily-2015-01-19-1806
