Yes, you need a CC# to register.

So, should I actually phone in and say it won't accept my code? I just don't want to end up telling them my subscription number then having it banned too lol

What do you think? I wish I had a 2nd xbox to try this on =/

No, that can't happen. Accounts are not banned, Xbox systems are. Just tell them your subscription code doesn't work.

I meant I didn't want the guy to actually delete the code or something himself, on the phone. =P

No it actually works with the Xecutor2 bios unmodified (this was a surprise!).

Hey opjose, what do you mean it works? Booting your Xbox off a blank EEPROM or connecting to XBL with modchip on, blank eeprom, and X2 bios?

well i got it to dl, they are valid xyz codes but one thing, no offense dude but im a video editor and i saw 3 times in that video where it appears the clip was edited (which would explain the large file size editing+no compression=large files) one was after the xbox logo, it was unusually short, the second was the first time you moved the camera, it temporarily looked away then skipped a second and the third was when the live screen was loading it jumped at the end. And the codes are easily edited in adobe.

umm well first i'll say i didn't edit it.  i dunno how you could say that too since there are obvious TV scanlines, and the resolution is horrible.  plus a lot of the clips i laid down the camera crucid.  that's all i'm really gonna say for this one .

Fuzzy> i just checked the vid agin, and here are some of the points i have: usually webcams make HUGE files, my webcam(when useing with the provided software) makes files 10mb/30sec, or 20mb per min, while MS movie maker does it less then an mb/30 sec. so thats one point for the big size. 2nd, i did no notice ne other things that you pointed out like the short main loading screen or ne skips when he moves the cam. but i did notice that his live logo did end very sudden, but my expericane with live shows that the logo is also somewaht screwd up. one ofmy frend's takes around 2 mins to load(while it fades into the live options unlike the one emailer33 has) but my other frends takes more or less 10 secs and fades a lil bit faster, NOT as fast as this one but it does fade. so i dunt knw, mabey emailer33 did edit or maeby he dident. but i guess until we actually get some proof, its gonna be out there

if you're webcam is making huge files, it's cuz your .avi compressor is set to uncompressed.  i have a kensington vga camera, in it's options i can set the compressor to MS Video 1.  that's why mine is sorta big, but not as small as a lot of videos.  and i cut out the audio, in case you didn't notice, that's gone, and then i reencoded to divx 3.0.  if you want proof i didn't edit it like say, another video w/ something moving in a constant speed or something, oh hell i dunno i'll do it sometime.

No it actually works with the Xecutor2 bios unmodified (this was a surprise!). When I switched to say and Xtender BIOS (thank goodness for those 29 wire mod chips in combination with an LPC mod, yes I have BOTH on one machine for testing...) the Xbox would not boot because of the invalid region. So I actually tried EXACTLY what he said in identical hardware.

i'm working on recreating these results in a video.  hope you get somewhere w/ this too  

QUOTE

emailer33/opjose, what bios EXACTLY are you using? On XBINS I can find: x2_4974_MultiVer_256k.rar (Edit, I am an idiot, didn't notice the 4974 lol) x2_4973_v1.1_256k.zip x2_4973_v1.0_256k.zip <-- I assume this is the one I want for my 1.0 Xbox.. and many variations of the later 2. Also where is PIXEL8's site, I want to download this eeprom =) AND before I forget, my XBL account hasn't been used/signed up, etc, and I think I read that you can't choose the country using this method? Is Country a required field or will I be able to register my account find without it. I don't really have access to any other Xbox' at the moment...

i'm using x2_4973_v1.0_256k.zip.  i dunno if you can still get the eeprom online, his site is hosted over at xbh now but all his links were 404 last time checked.  just get it at xbins.  mine was modified tho, but i'm about to change that cuz i'm havin' trouble recreating that part.

well i hope this kinda thing helps and that this post gets us somewhere.

Well it's almost been a day now, ever since switching to xecuter2 4973 1.0 bios I can connect to xbox live, but it still rejects my code....

I think maybe their CRC check doesn't get xecuter2 bios, because I couldn't connect at all with evox 2.5 ybox bios..

I am still using my original eeprom, and I got the blank eeprom from someone on the fourms, but I don't want to use it if I can't choose a county to sign up =P

The probs. your having w/Xbox live probably isn't due to the modchip.  I've had 3 friends and all of them had some sort of problem setting up an account (I was ther to help them every time), and I made sure not to install a modchip until after live was installed, just to be even safer, especially with all the problems they've had.  Also, the servers have been horribly crunched due to a load that was much higher than M$ ever expected.  I wouldn't really worry about the modchip at this pt. especially if you can still connect, its probably just another wierd error.  Good luck!

Have you had a rejected subscription code?

The weird thing is that if I choose USA as the billing reigon, it takes 'longer' to reject it lol

[emailer33]

 i modified my eeprom w/ a fake serial and online key, and the HD is unlocked.  mod chip is ON.

[rewen]

So if you go back to your old eeprom does it still connect?

Ok, I've gotten 2 other people to try it, results aren't good.

unmodded - code is valid
modded (xecuter2 4973) invalid
mine (same as ablve) invalid
