for like an hour.  thats a supervisor they went and got from a different floor to come down and speak with me.  he himself assured me he would call me back with a solution today.  he said he would go and research the problem and talk directly to the live online team.  if he knew it was a modchip he would have fed me some bullshit yes, but he didnt give me any.  he said he didnt know.  they have had a few calls like this and most of the people with this problem logged on before the 15th when they werent supposed to. i dont really care either way, i have a job and can just go buy a new xbox, i would rather not have to but i can.  so if its modchip detection then fine ill get a new one.  if it isnt then i wont.  im just trying to get my shit fixed and help you all out also. if you dont wanna take my help then okay

I think it's safe to say that everybody wants Live to work on every Xbox, modded or not and right now it's not working perfectly with any setup - people have success doing certain things while others don't, some have no problems on modded systems while others can't get new ones to work, etc.

Everybody is just frustraited.  Just gotta chill and wait I guess.  Go rent MGSS or something, get a tall drink, I dunno heh

This falls in line with what I think is going on.  I can confirm that you are assigned a server the first time you log in. I can also confirm that the numbers on the  Y screen have nothing to do with modchips.  It has everything to do with network settings.  I got a tech support guy here (Live support is in austin, tx as am I) and he told me that those people who bought early are having most of the problems and that Target got a stearn talking to :/ .  What I didn't expect him to say was that I could get rid of the "patch" or "update" that live sent me by restoring my XBOx to factory settings.  At this I was surprised.  He looked up a reset code based on my serial number and told me to enter it and it will reconfigure my xbox.  This code is under the sys info screen. You press Y and it asks you for the code.  Its 4 keypresses long and supposedly completey restores the system.  He said all saved games go bye-bye.  I have not tried this but there is some hope in this.  Someone more brave than I might want to try this.  I have no need as I returned my live kit to target for a refund.  I am gonna wait this out until they get it settled.  You have to get the code from tech support.  Good luck. Derfel

                                      i pressed Y at the sys infor screen under settings and nothing happens...

on the phone with xbox now they called me back but now im on hold

                                    shwey....i was on the phone for an hour yesterday and today and still waiting for tier 2 call back..

[Derfel]

Well then the son of a bitch lied to me.  I have yet to try this as I was on my way to return it when he told me how to reset the system to factory.  I will try it on mine when I get home to see if I get anything.  Thats only 2 hours from now.  Anyone else try this at the sys info screen and get nothing?

[Derfel]

Yeah thats what I was working at doing.  Hell you might be talking to the same guy.  If they give you a 4 key code to reset the box then thats the same procedure I will be trying. Keep us posted.

Yes, the code is console specific.  I can give you the code that corresponds to my xbox, but I was told it will only work for some.  Best bet is to call tech support and ask for your own code. up-y-x-y Thats the one for my serial #. Derfel

                                    heh.... up yxy exactly!!!  whY Xbox whY

                                    So whats the deal BOB?

[Derfel]

heh, his live accounts prolly working now and he's too busy treating his body like an amusement park to let us know.

[XBOB LIVE]

i dont know yet gimmi some time to figure out whats going on.  i just had to call my service provider to see if they kicked my off or wont direct me.  i got some forign lady so no help there im going to call back and talk to kevin at xbox.

[Derfel]

So you fell for the "its your provider" line.  Damn, and you had potential.  Have them explain why every provider decided to "block" the people starting monday and at the same time lets people through who just installed the retail kit today.  Like an ISP has the time (or knowhow for that matter) to selectively block some people from xbox live.  Don't make no sense george.

[Derfel]

Yeah but if they ask you about the config settings (ie. the Y screen) what do you tell them? Would be best to actually have to xbox's sitting there to back up your story.
