Is there anyway to get unbanned? I didn't think there was, but I've heard some people talk about it.

Also, what is all this talk about eeprom, and what is eeprom? I hear people talk about it, but I don't know what it is. (Maybe I should check the XS dictionary).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can not get techinally unbanned, but you can change your EEPROM (lay man terms, identification) of your Xbox of another Xbox that is not banned.

btw...whats this XYZ code? is it in the eeprom? how do you find out what yours is?

shanafan · « **Reply #3 on:** December 15, 2002, 07:03:00 PM »

To find out the XYZ code, run the Xbox Live connectivity test, and when it is done, press the Y button.

There ya go!

Ok, I think I get it.
So, if I have a friend that will NEVER get Xbox Live or broadband, and I accidently mess up and get banned, I can change my eeprom to my friend's and be "unbanned" so to speak?

Also, what does it mean when people talk about a blank eeprom? Does that mean it is always "unbanned" or what?

And thanks to those who answered my questions.

Yes, getting your friend's eeprom will work. But, his Xbox has to be modded to get it.

The blank eeprom does not work.

I have two more quick questions:

-How do I find and change my eeprom?

-Is there (or will there ever be) an eeprom "generator"? Like, something that will randomly generate a MS-acceptable eeprom, or is this impossible?

And thanks for the FAST replies (that last one only took like 30 seconds. Man you guys are quick).

If you are running EvolutionX dash, go settings->backup. On your c:\, you will have a backup folder with the eeprom.bin in there. Superfro released EEPROMER which allows you to change your EEPROM easily (when you have the other unbanned EEPROM)

No, there will not be an EEPROM generator program. I am not as techinal as opjose, but I believe it is just not possible.

The Following are quotes from the Pinned XYZ code thread
at the top of this forum.
It answers all your questions:

"Great News Everyone! GOT XBOX LIVE TO WORK AGAIN!

( See my previous post on page 2 of this thread )

Well, I got an eeprom dump from another xbox and flashed mine with the data.
For reference it was Superfro's program EEPromerv0.4 that made it possible!
(PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL AND ASK ME FOR IT!)
Pixal8's blank eeprom will not work.

Superfro, you RULE man, Thank you!!!!!

I did have to recover the account but that was not too difficult. It was like installing my account on another xbox. Very easy and it's done through account management.

OK, here are the old settings:

1.00.4920.01

X: 0000 - 000D
Y: 00A8 - 6800 (Bad)
Z: 8015 - 190D

UL: 0KB DL: 0KB
L: 0 P: 0 / 0

And here are the new settings after the eeprom switchover:

1.00.4920.01

X: 0000 - 000D
Y: 00A8 - 4800 (Good)
Z: 0000 - 0000

UL: 9765KB DL: 3530KB
L: 105 P: 8 / 8

I'm in the US, use a BioXX (detailed setup is in my sig) and both IP and DNS are manual.

Good luck everyone and remember not to try to get on LIVE with your mod ON!

How To Get Your XYZ Info.

ATTENTION, THIS TUTORIAL ASSUMES YOU HAVE ALREADY FULLY INSTALLED XBOX LIVE!

1.Turn off your modchip and go to the Xbox Dashboard.
2.Click on the Xbox Live Tab.
3.Go to Network Connections.
4.Wait for the Green Lights (or red X'es depending on your setup) to load.
5.Once they load highlight the help button.
6.Over the help button press the Y button.
7.An X code a Y code and a Z code will come up along with more packet data including upload and download speed.
8.Take note of these Numbers.
9.Post results in Xyz Code, Uncoded on the Xbox-Scene forums in the Xbox Live section

Examples:
never been modded xbox...

all settings automatic...

X: 0000 - F001
Y: 00A8 - 4860
Z: 8015 - 1917

Xbox Live XYZ Codes Explained. ~Fuzzy

X:0000:F001
Y:00A8:4860 Good
Z:8015:1917

X: 0000 - 000D
Y: 00A8 - 6800 Bad
Z: 8015 - 190D

X. First of all, the first four numbers of x should always be zeros. They SHOULD always but I haven't seen one that isn't (if yours isn't contact me.)

Y. 00A8 seems to be common among banned and not banned boxes. Now here is where the problem is. Apparently 6860 indicates an LPC mod that is enabled or a non switched non-LPC mod enabled. 6820 means that the system had once had a modchip in it but at the moment is not running. Other wise it should be something like 4840, 4820 or 4860.

Z. The last row (a.k.a Z) has to do with packets and trashed responses.
(OpJose)
I've been able to confirm that an 8015 in the first Z field indicates
(only IF you have a full and valid connection to the internet/xblive servers)
that your EEPROM is "consistent".E.G. if you are able to change the HD key and get back a 8015, as far as the kerberos servers were concerned your EEPROM's state is "good".
Meaning that the servers think that the encrypted stuff is ok.
The information in the "user" area of the EEPROM does not seem to affect the 8015 results.
This does NOT mean that you can get on XBLive however.
It DOES mean that once we can get 8015 values out of generated HD key's we will have the right formula to unban Xboxes!!!!!!!
This is a BIGGGGGGG Hint for the hackers. (/OpJose)

A good code should look something like this:
X: 0000-F021
Y: 00A8-4840
Z: 0000-0000

IF YOUR SECOND Y CODE BEGINS WITH A 6 YOU ARE BANNED.
SO FAR NO ONE TO BE BANNED HAS EVER HAD ANYTHING OTHERWISE. THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO TELL.

I would appreciate if some more people (banned and not) posted their codes.

This is what I have deciphered and I believe it is 99.9% correct. I hope it is of some use to Zander, Opjose, Undead, Or someone. Thanks for your time

I dont understand this as a fix. Seeing as now you have two xbox's with a good eeprom. But if you screw up and ban this one now two xbox's are done for! Do I have this correct?

Azadar

LinksAwakening · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2002, 01:45:00 PM »

Yes you do. But as long as neither of the two (or ten for that matter) never get banned, it's a good solution.

erexx · « **Reply #11 on:** December 16, 2002, 05:59:00 PM »

At this time the only way to get a "banned" xbox back on Xbox Live is to flash the xbox with a
known good or "non-banned serial eeprom" and then relocking the hard drive with the new key
(based on the new eeprom)
(unlock the harddrive first before programming the eeprom... hehe)

So far "banned" eeproms cannot be fixed or unbanned.

There is a thread covering the successful use of the same non-banned
eeprom on several machines at once.
(I suspect this wont last)
http://forums.xbox-s...ST&f=21&t=17959

And Yes after all that if you get back on Live with the modchip on or access the original xboxdash
with the modchip on after installing xbox live your going to get banned again.
