Opjose, assiming I get connectivity, and I used a matrix to reflash the TSOP (originally flashed with a TSOP clip, not practical to mail it back), then replaced the TSOP with an original 4034 bios and removed the Matrix, wwould it work, or would I still be caught because of the hardware modifications necessary to flash the TSOP via matrix?

                                    I have an xbox I did this to, that never had connectivity issues.

Yes it works.

I even reflashed the Matrix and added the switch to turn it on or off.

That machine now works fine with XBLive whenever the matrix is OFF.

The hardware TSOP flashing mods are not a problem at all.

I also tried this with two other machines.

One with an Xtender and another with Xecutor with identical results.

All are working fine with XBLive with the MOD chip switched OFF.

With the mod chip switched ON, REVOLT still works with XBLive but none of the new "retail" XBLive demos work.

In effect if you got the online update, NONE of the retail releases will work UNLESS you turn off your mod chip.

The BETA releases will work until they turn off the servers for them.

                                    You don't.

You install a switch to disable the Xtender.

With the Xtender disabled you will be able to connect to XBLive.

HOWEVER first test to be sure that the CONNECTIVITY TEST works from the XBLive control panel. If not, nothing that you can currently do will work.

The failure of the connectivity test IS NOT a mod chip issue!
If you get connectivity, you must disable the mod chip to connect to on line games!

Ok dude i take it when u say connectivity u mean this.

I do the test everything else works but the last test says "Xbox LIve can not be found".

I beleave u mean this, so there is hope for me?

                                    CORRECT!

If you DO NOT get the "Xbox Live cannot be found" message, then you CAN connect to any and all XBLive games if you disable your mod chip.

Boy oh boy oh boy


Once your CHIP has been detected, when you do the connectivity test it will say


"X box live not found"

(all other things, ip/dns etc found and sorted in green)

IF you had a chip and ran X Box live, it 'updated', let u play and then when u tried later it wouldn't, then u've been zapped and the x box live error is the CLUE/RESULT


IF you've never managed to connect then u have a tech support issue that can be resolved by someone who knows about networks and routers - you WILL be assing something up, somewhere


Third scenario, chip fitted, update downloaded, but machine still saying x box live found on connectivity screen, but games not finding x box live, then YOUR CHIP has beendetected, you've been pulled from access to games, and are no doubt on a 'pending' list for your box to be zapped (week/day, who knows) after which you'll get x box live not found.


SIMPLE.

                                    WRONG!

I've been thru this test. I even left a modded system connect all night just to check it out.

As long as you have connectivity, turning OFF the mod chip restores XBLive functionality.

[Deacon brown]

Well u have put my mind at rest.

please post a line to show me how and where to solder the bits please.

Again i thank all that tried to hepl.

It is 1:30 in the UK now to time for me to sleep, later people in USA and best of luck..

Accepted, to a POINT, but once the chip has been detected, a time bomb is ticking. Yes, you have connectivity, UNTIL they pull it. Read the NUMEROUS stories of happy chip owners who had a day or weeks fun and then turned on their machines one day and BANG - game over. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, ONCE CHIP IS DETECTED, BEFORE YOUR BELOVED CONNECTIVITY IS WITHDRAWN. THE FIRST STAGE OF THIS IS THE CONNECTIVITY SCREEN SAYS XBOX LIVE FOUND, BUT SUDDENLY YOU CANT CONNECT TO THE GAMES...WEEK LATER/DAY LATER, x box live not found... A friend has an xecutor mod, with disable switch. Played online for a few days, switch on and of, no problems. Then had a day of 'live found', but unable to play games, then dead So, he tried with an xtender, without switch. Fine for an hour, then 'live found', but no games...tomorrow...'live not found', no doubt.. It is so simple. You are detected, humoured at first (they let you play). You go on a list for banning. First stage, 'live found', but games won't play, second stage, 'LIVE not found' Simple.

NO NO NO NO NO!

What don't you understand about the above line.

Have you put a sniffer on your LAN?

I have.

XBLive NEVER reports the state of the machine!

It merely STOPS before connecting if the mod chip is on. There is -NO- information reported back to MS that the machine is chipped.

Nada, nothing, period!

The code merely checks to see that a. The machine is not "chipped" (or the chip is off), b. the disk is authentic. There -IS- an additional disk read performed which was not occuring before.

OK, Satan, there's good news and bad. I'm betting ur probably a mode 3 Matrix user, in which case this forum has already told MS that they haven't killed Matrixes, so expect an unwanted automatic update to zap you soon.... Or you are on a pending list for some fo the above treatment. Remember, MS are busy, but they will get round to you...

                                    What a crock!

[Satan00]
