What DOES work is a modification to the BIOS kernel that prohibits booting off the CD while the mod chip is on. When used in combination with a F_BOOT type modification you can set your Xbox to ONLY play non-xboxlive games from the hard drive.

Thus with the chip ON (if you've taken the proper precautions!) NO ONE can play a Live enabled game since you keep these off the hard drive.

With the chip OFF you can play original games and get onto XBLive.

You have to jump thru a few hoops to do this, and you loose the ability to boot backups with the mod chip ON, but it does work.

For the moment this is the ONLY "safe" solution.

Dear god, now this board will get flooded with people asking how to do this. Hell, I don't know how, but I do know how to use the search button.

I may write up a tutorial on this.

Unfortuntely it will be somewhat long since I'd have to deal with

1 - Mod chips
2 - Unlocking/Locking the drive (now abbreviated thank's to the new utils!)
3 - Obtaining your EEPROM image
4 - Unpacking the kernel/BIOS
5 - Hex editing the ntkernel
6 - Repacking the kernel/BIOS
7 - Hard disk configuration & F_Boot

It would be one mutha of a tutorial, but it does work and it does enable you to make an XBLive "proof" xbox.

It should also incorporate directions to get your machine UNBANNED utilizing an existing unbanned EEPROM.

If I do this, it will not be till after XMAS though.

Dida, it seems that if you access any part of Live (from dash, from a backup) with the modchip on will get you banned. However, fatbastard911 has a running thread saying that he access the Live tab with the modchip on and he hasn't been banned. But, I rather go with opjose's statement and say it will get you banned.

Yeap fatbastard may be a fluke....

The XBLive tab on the dashboard gets you banned.

Downloading content gets you banned.

Connecting to an XBLive game gets you banned.

etc.

What?! What if I have a unmodded Xbox? Will I get banned?

So what you're actually saying is that even I don't have Live and that it will not arrive until March the 14. I have to forget about Live because I'm banned. So don't spend money.

But about the the diffrence in software between PAl and NTSC. My xbox is PAL and the updated.exe was NTSC, could there a slim chance for me to get online because live tried to find a ntsc box but could find it and what about the connection, I connected trough flashxp but how was it possible that live could connect to the net and report to ms server because the xbox was in network with my cpu.

Using FlashFXP is ENTIRELY different than using XBox Live. You are accessing Live remotely while FlashFXP is completely local with your Xbox.
