Team Executor has given us a gift for the New Year; a BIOS that disables Xbox Live. The BIOS is called

X2 4981.06 (no G: drive support)
X2 4981.67 (G: drive support)

Just flash your modchip with this BIOS, and when you try to connect to Xbox Live anywhere, your Xbox will quickly report a connection to Live issue. Even if you run the troubleshooter, Live will still not connect.

Of course, this is all with your modchip on because the BIOS doesn't allow the connection. Turn your modchip off, and Live will work just fine.

Since Xbox Live will not connect with modchip on, backups will not work.

Any questions, just post. However, about the G: drive support mentioned above, this topic isn't about G: drive support. That is for Xbox HDs larger than 137 GB. Any questions about that, go here:

So I am guessing that when you use the software control with the chameleon that you will be able to connect to live without a problem... right?

Sounds really sweet to me. I was using Evox M7ef but it looks like I am switching now (or I can try out one of those other 3 banks.)

As long as you access Live without the modchip on, then you won't have any problems. With the Chameleon, just load the onboard BIOS from EvolutionX.

That's what I thought. I figured using the software control wouldn't be a problem as it completely bi-passes the BIOS on the chip.

The way I do it now I have to go through a bunch of crap changing all my setting back to auto. Now... I can leave my cable plugged in and change my settings back to normal and have instant live when I use the software control. Man... I will be getting this BIOS as soon as I have time.

Sorry about my noobness.  I thought that I could only install a bios for the kind of mod I had... and I am still not sure about this, but maybe a quick yes or no from any of the wise guys could help me learn something new.

The bios released for Executor can be used on any ModChip?

I have a chameleon, and as you can see... I thought that the Executor BIOS was only for the new Executor Chip...

Thanks in advance.

you can use this bios with your chamelion mate

I have a question (probably stupid)-
I will finally be getting adsl and live within a week, i've been reading about how to make my xbox safe for live and there's a bit I don't understand... the tutorial I read says I need to hit the eject button when in Evo-x, thing is nothing happens when I do this because X2 bios' have that eject hack so the xbox doesn't reboot.
I just flashed my mod with this latest bios btw.

please note i'm doing this bit by bit (trying to get my head around everything so I don't fluck up) and I haven't locked my HDD yet, I realise I can't turn my mod off with an unlocked HDD.

Will locking my HDD solve this?

thanks

Of course you can play backups...you just can't play them on Live...no matter how hard you try.  Before, you could play backups on Live...for a couple minutes - then you got banned.

Thanks for the info mate, appreciate it!

my chameleon is in mode 2 and I have the new x2 bios in bank 0,1
I hit disable chameleon in evo-x and it rebooted to MSdash so it looks like everything is ok.
only thing is it's a bit of a pain to go deep into the menus to do this so I might look into setting up a link to disable chameleon in the main menu.

Looks like it's ok to run the dash update with PGR2 now, hopefully i'll be LIVEing successfully within a week.

thanks again!

yeah I just locked my HDD

These bios look really hot. Shanafan please let us know when the new XBtool is released preferably with a link    I cant wait, now i can actually leave my friends ALONE with my xbox haha. Cant never trust them when it comes to live  

Props to team Xecuter to make this, im sure it involved a lot of hacking. Xecuter has been ontop of everything since day 1, from in game reset to macrovision off.

Cheers for this fine addition

It will be on the x-s news page!

whew, finally.  I knew this could be done at the bios and knew it would be only a matter of time before xecuter implemented it.  Awesome job, now I wonder if the number of bans decrease drastically if msft will start implementing other ways to ban... time will tell but for now this is great.

[mrRobinson]

yes it will...
