You know what I want to know ..........Halo 2 - I want to know if the XBL Xecuter Bios blocks Halo 2 live traffic, because I have a feeling MS probably stepped it up a bit and probably did work arounds from the X bios ....possible no?

I'm running UDE2 with PBL metoo (EvoX M8 bios) and an UNleashX dashboard. I was banned on B-day and got 3 eeproms banned in rapid succession. After that I changed my harddrive and played for a week. I just read this and reverted to stock and new eeprom to test the theory and I seem to be ok. I deleted all my homebrew saves and made sure my C drive was completely stock. I logged onto xbox live a few times and now i have UDE2 reinstalled.

Tomorrow I will test live again and see if im still not banned.

Well I've got Xbox live, never modded my xbox, but I want to do it and put in a new big hdd. Reckon I should wait till after Halo 2, or should it be fairly safe playing on live with the chip turned off, seeing as though I've never been banned before or anything?

So I switched eeproms, got on live and was fine up until the last week.

My question is; Ever since I changed my Eeprom My Xbox won't recognize my Stock HD any more? I get the error 16 message.

Why is that?
Thanks

Before I modded anything, I ran the xbox live thing and it downloaded some kind of live update? 2.0 or something to my STOCK hd. I then installed my chip, backed up my c:\ and e:\ drives to pc and then installed my new 160 gig maxtor and just transfered everything back over, then added my dash's ect.

I'm in the same boat. Updated the dash on the retail hdd, backed everything up, installed chip and new hdd, and put everything back on XBox.

I've never had XBLive, but was thinking about it for Halo2. Can anyone say whether or not I'm going to get banned for swapping hdd? Probably too early to say, I'd guess.

Ok don't know if this has been covered or not yet (got to go to a class soon and don't have time to go through all the prev. pages.) As far as getting banned if you switch Hdds and not your Eeprom, I don't think this is what is going on since I still had a virgin xbox when I got live at launch ( modded last summer.) and have changed my HDD since then and I have not been banned. This is not to say that they ARE banning our HDD serials when they ban us now. But since I have never been banned before so I have not had a problem even after this new security kicked in even though I switched HDDs after I had been on live for about 7 months prior to modding.

Sounds like they are flagging people who have already been banned and hitting them again whether its a new hd and new epprom so hopefully i'll be ok when nov 9 comes around. I guess i'll have to wait to find out.

It looks like I just got a little delayed with my test.
The three subscription codes that I had to do my test are all invalid.
Anyone have an extra valid Xbox Live two month trial subscription code?

EDIT 1: blacksonic came through in shining colors and helped me to continue my test! His generosity is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

EDIT 2: Xbox Live account (with new GT and billing/credit card information) created after 18.5 hours being unbanned without an Xbox Live account.

My point was in reference to theory posted in the earlier pages about that if you connect to Xbox Live using a HDD other then the one you where using the first time you got on live  without changing your Eeprom you will be banned. I was just saying I have changed my HDD since I first started using live and still am on my stock Eeprom. Thus saying I doubt changing your HDD is causing people to be banned, that's all.

oh and the above cancels out the first theory (tried 2 different hdd's) - the banned one was the one id been using for ages and last time i went on live with my 80gb hdd was about 1.5 mths ago
