well if you all remember my posts i was confused about why i wasn't being banned. well i did a little research and discovered that i had done something no one else i know had tried yet. i'm going to wait a couple days and make sure it comes out. but anyway, i flashed pixel8's blank serial eeprom and went ot live. sure enuf, it detected the mac as 0's and the serial was blank. but even more surprising was it STILL CONNECTED. here's a video for proof:

http://users.rcn.com...iler33/xbox.avi it's 9mb, sorry for the size, but i hop eit proves my point. it's in divx btw.

can someone smart out there somehow explain why this is owrking? if no one can, i'll post what i did l8r.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, I hate to say it but it is almost always true, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. But hey, we can dream can't we? That would be very nice if he doesn't get banned after a couple of days.

I think he said he'll post in a couple of days if he doesn't get banned.

i think he got banned and is panicing and forgot about this post

I would hope if it stopped working he would come back and tell us. I'll wait till he posts exactly what he did before I would attempt anything like that. Can someone answer this for me though. I considered flashing the pixel8's blank serial eeprom to my eeprom but I read posts from opjose where he swears it is just a zeroed out eeprom and the xbox will cease to boot? Whats the deal, does it work or not Anyways I remeber when pixel8 made it he said he could get onto live but who knows if it still works (I'll wait for someone more reputable or with more to say before I beleive it). Another issue this brings up though is if this works and MS has to ban peoples account (maybe they can't ban the zeroed information for some technical reason) then is it leagally possible for them to close our accounts without refund? I know they can block our modded xboxes but to sell someone a subscription and then simply shut them out without refund seems illegal (maybe thats why they havn't done it yet). Anyways just my 2 cents.

no, no, no, this isn't the case lol.

well it's been a couple of days and i'm still not banned, so i'm gonna buy a live kit for myself soon

Just I note from my experience. I had no troubles connecting to Xbox Live with a Mod active when I wasn't banned, but i was unable to join any Xnbox live games??

It appears you can connect, but it doesn't show that you can actually join a game.

you're the first i've heard of htis happening too. bu ti'm buying a xbox live! starter kit so i'll see if this is the case.

this only happens if you don't unlock your HD permanently. i did unlock mine so i didn't need the correct HD key to unlock it. that's the trick to making pixel8's eeprom to work

and here's what you've all wanted to hear, i'm STILL UNBANNED.

. so by sunday i'll probably post what i did and see if it works for all of you
