I feel that my method really works. You just have to make sure that the EEPROM you're going to flash is not banned. Welcome back on XBL and have fun, Optimus .

AZ, can you clarify that? Do you think all these recent bans are just a case of a bunch of dickheads reselling eeproms?

I finally gave in and pre-ordered a new xbox (the X-mas bundle). Which I will get on the 27th.

Man all this crap had to happen before Halo 2, why could it wait after Halo 2.


I tryed everything (but changing my GT), the new harddrive and eeprom theory; did work for me. I'm not willing to change my GamerTag cus I'm pretty well knowen on LIVE and I don't want to lose this GT.


Thanks for your help and time guys.

It was fun while it lasted.

im not selling them im giving them away for testing purposes. and

And you will not get banned for selling them anyways, xbox-scene doesn't care.

Have you changed your EEPROM to unban yourself? Have you also changed to the stock one?

joker469,
I think what everyone wants to know is:
When was your first bann?
When was your last bann on same xbox?
What was the last method you used to get the same xbox un-banned (step by step)?
How long have you been live since your successful un-banning method?

[mc_365]

dogfish,
To be clear when you got banned 2 weeks ago what caused it?

my first ban was back in 2002
i havent had another ban yet
i replaced the old hard drive with a cloned copy using the method i posted in my link a couple posts back ...after i fixed it i got back on live and have been on for 3 days now

i replaced my old eeprom with a new one from zodiac and i got another just incase things happen.
probably the only thing that is still from the old xbox is the processor and thats it. and just so you know brienj of the xbox saves forum posted in the ninja hackers forum about  how not to get banned but amoung other things i think the way to not get banned is if you copy your xbox hard drive properly your c$ partition can not be moddified in any way or else MS will ban you repedidly anyway this is the best of my knowledge so hope this helps you guys much


edit:
one thing
1. new hard drive
2. new live account deleted my old one and made a new one
3. flashed eeprom
4. thats it i think

[XboxGamer25]

I flashed new eeprom over, played on live last night (last thing i did on the xbox),

Boot up today to go back on live and I'm banned again. So it takes some time for you to get rebanned...if they were checking hard drive then i should have been banned right away..but it took some time...

Luckly I have a spare box with no modchip in it...

[joker469]

well one thing if your account is flagged you have to be carefull becuase they could bany our new one too and if you all have halo 2 installed they will ban you from live no matter what any traces of it and your banned before the release date.....halo 2 has an update that not many know about so becarefull.

[dogfish]

joker, I think you are posting a few rumours. I have seen first hand, that a halo 2 save does not Ban you, I mean I have literally seen someone with many many H2 profiles saved on HD log on and off live multiple times over a period greater than 3 days.

Xboxgamer25, your experience mirrors mine exactly, I think they are checking hard drive though, because regardless, if you leave a modchip on, go on live, immediately log off again, switch off the mod chip and try and log on, you will find you are not banned. Whats happening is your machine gets read, for whatever details, it looks like HDD serial and eeprom at the moment, if they don't match or were banned previously then you are flagged and banned next time they do a sweep, which appears to be every 24 hours or less.

Has anyone tried

1. Getting banned
2. replacing HDD
3. Reflashing eeprom

I bet this works. and I bet this works if you have a halo 2 save on that new hdd. Just be careful because H2 always prompts you to sign into live.

[blacksonic]

ill do it but let em buy a stock unlock hdd, does any one know were to get one. llamas.com is to expensives.

ok first of all get things right im not talking about HALO 2 SAVES im talking about XBOX LIVE UPDATE.XBE FILE that  updates the dash board amoung other things. that is why thiers a patch out that will delete those files for you if you dontknow how .

o

andi have done all that plus more
i also created a new xbox live gamer tag so that my old one wouldnt get me banned thats the secret to this if you get banned its due to a check on the processor

One friend I have, and he IS VERY SMART, so, he is not fuck1ng up anything neither making false statements, has told me something that made me afraid... He said that he has his XBOX on a no-break. His XBOX is TSOP flashed with a Xecuter 2 BIOS and he doesn't use XBOX LIVE at all (well, since the TSOP is not split, it is not possible). He has XBOX default dashboard, and has XBOX MEDIA CENTER as evoxdash.xbe, so, when he turns on his XBOX, the Xecuter2 bios will open XBOX MEDIA CENTER. Just right, right? Now the scary thing... He has updated MS default dashboard using Burnout 3, turned off the console, never used it again with no games in drive (so the XBMC loads).... Until today, when he turns on the console and XBOX Dashboard appears.... Scary hun?  Simply, the evoxdash.xbe file of his C drive is gone, simply that (no, he doesn't use XBMC as xboxdash.xbe and as evoxdash.xbe). So, what could have happened?

With friends like these, you don't need enemies.

This is just not true! I have done the exact same thing with Burnout 3 (it was the only way I could get the updated dash, I got "technical difficulties..." when I tried to update from dash). I also have Evox on C without any problem at all.
