They can't just be checking for homebrew saves. There are alot of modders on Live that are not getting banned. So I doubt that is the problem.

There I go, poking holes in my own ramblings. And I have now hit the point where I feel like I am talking to myself. I think I better leave and go do something else for awhile.  huh.gif

Opti don't leeeeeeave  unsure.gif   I wasn't poking holes I'm just really parinod that I could be banned before Nov 9th, and I really don't want to have to go out and buy a new Live Only Box and GT...  The only reason I got live in Sept was in anticipation for H2.


It just seems so odd with this latest group of bans.  I for one really hope that they are not scannind drives cause I have C:, E:, and F: all full of non retail goodies.

I have not been banned yet :crossesfingers:

I just hope that the community can find some reasoning behind this before more and more people get banned and waste money on EEPROM changes that no longer work.

Why can't we just find somebody on the inside... muhaha.gif

Okay, here's my story...
Yesterday, I installed a solderless Xenium ICE modchip in my v1.0 Xbox.
Using the preinstalled Xenium OS 2.0, I enabled the retail TSOP, installed the EvoX M8 BIOS, and installed the EvoX Dashboard.
I might have loaded and played a game of French origin for about ten minutes from a DVD.
I didn't install any other hardware, software, or games, just what I mentioed above.
The modchip seemed to be working great, however, I accidentally launched the Xbox Dashboard with the EvoX BIOS running at one point.
After restarting and disabling the BIOS, I could still connect to Xbox Live, so I thought I was safe.
This morning when I tried to connect, however, I was banned (first time ever).
While reading over the forums researching how to get unbanned, I obviously discovered this whole new mess everyone is having with banning.
Today, I just got a brand new Maxtor 120GB HDD (still sealed in its packaging), and I also bought two EEPROMS.
At this point, I am just waiting to see if any new solutions/problems are presented, because I don't want to waste my EEPROMS, or get my new HDD banned.

K guys....

I just installed a new 160 gig hdd and a new eeprom.
But I started a new account with one of those 2 month cards you get here and there. I used a slightly different name for my account, different credit card and phone number just to play it safe.
Of coarse, I chose a totally different gamertag as well.

Everything went smoothely.
Lets see how long I last....

I should mention that I used Slayer's 2.6 to load all my homebrew stuff.
I'm running an X3 chip with M8 bios....
I currently have no gamesaves on my hdd since I didn't mirror my old drive....

I'll give you guys an update tomorrow....

Sounds like it could be something to do with some dodgy save games you might have picked up off that game to me...  Perhaps they are scanning for them.

To me, it's looking more and more likely that as soon as we figure out what it is MS is doing, they will change it.  These forums are public and they're probably reading our efforts.
But perhaps that's just me being paranoid - if they really wanted to stop mods from going on live, I can think of plenty of ways to stop it that I'm certain they could pull off.  Why haven't they?

Okay, as I mentioned before, I have a brand new Maxtor 120GB HDD and a few EEPROMS.

I would like to remove the hacked BIOS from my Xenium ICE modchip, restore my HDD without copying anything from my old HDD or elsewhere, install a new unused EEPROM, and attempt to connect to Xbox Live again. This would be a good test. If it works, I can slowly start adding a BIOS and stuff to my HDD, hoping that I won't be banned again. However, I have a few questions, and please provide any input you have before I start and screw something up.

1. I've never done it before, so how do I completely restore my new 120GB HDD to retail without copying anything from my old HDD, and without copying any other hacked software, etc?

2. Can I restore my Xbox Live account without copying any old files to my new HDD?

Thanks for your input!
