No, no save on it. It only had my LIVE account on it.

Did you copy your Live account or use Account Recovery?

A.Z.BEST® WHERE U @

Right here, dude. I'm pretty confused. I'm waiting for some more info from Optimus. It would be good to get known how is he doin' now.

Anyway; a friend of mine has tried to totally erase his hdd, flash the eeprom, change gt and go on XBL, but as you all know- it takes time to get banned or stay unbanned. So... We're waitin' for info from all of them who are testing...

Please don't mention my name. But I had xbox live before I modded which was about 1 month ago. I have modded my box AND changed the harddrive.
All this banning hoopla got me worried so I signed up for Xbox live again with
the new Hard drive. I have played fine on it. I am thinking MS is only rebanning the ones that were banned before as they only recored the HD serial for people who HAVE been banned before. I hope this will help you out. Also it has been more than 72 hours since I have signed up with this new hard drive and my account is still active. Please Respond let everyone else know this new information.

Edit: No bios folder on my c drive. Not since back in the day when I used Evox. But that was a long time before I was banned.

This is a REALLY, REALLY stupid question, but how do you run ConfigMagic to update the EEPROM?

anyone think about opening up the E: with a gamesave app (ex.- the one from xboxsaves.com or w/e it is) and seeing if there are any odd saves?  

what about the x,y,z drives? any odd files?

anyone who posts about being banned needs to post the ENTIRE contents of their C: E: X: Y: Z: drives, so we know exactly whats going on (such as dashboard(s), homebrew save(s), save(s) from "that french release", and odd cache files.)  

we should find out more about the guy that changed his hdd and not his eeprom and became unbanned.

some guy on one of the earlier pages mentioned that he changed his eeprom and his xbox serial is still the same according to the XBL screen... maybe a hd/cpu/mcpx/graphics chip serial system now?

also, what about a debugger of sorts on the lpc bus to see if there's dataflow/probing during XBL communication.  it can be as simple as just grounding a led to each lpc hole and making sure it doesn't light.  however, this may be futile as it seems even softmods and tsop mods are being banned.

i personally don't know if i've been banned, my xbox is broken, but when i get it running again ill sure as hell give all the details and do everything i can to help.  this truly is puzzling.

I was banned before - so I go out and get a brand new xbox with new hard drive (and executer 2.6) and still get banned?

Maybe your EEPROM was previously used in another Xbox smile.gif? Ohhhh... these damn EEPROM resellers wink.gif.

Changing your HDD will NOT get you banned. I was playing with a regular xboxo n xlive and i modded it and played like that for about a year and no ban. As long as you lock your hdd you will be fine. And turn off your chip of course hen you go online. Just be careful and you won't get banned.

Yo spoons , u saying it was a brand new xbox ??? and u still got banned ???/ daaaaaaaaaam that sucks..

Did u copy saves from old box ?? if so though mem-card or pc ???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway im back onlive for now dont know how long its gonna last for though..

Info
Got eeprom and stock hdd from freinds xbox which had never been live but had been on xlink and xbc .
No evox or apps or anything apart from stock so far, but i must copy save for RSC from mem-card later (as its from mem-card im sure it must be safe)

As hdd is only tiny this is just a test for me cus i dont want no tiny weeni hdd, but if it still works in a few weeks i will put in a bigger 1 and new eeprom.

I wiil update regulary   (just hope i dont post "iv been banned agian")

heres a bit more info to add to the confusing list of stuff so far smile.gif
I was one of the people who kept getting banned, so I've gone off and bought a new xbox (pre-modded with new hard drive and a basic version of evox installed on the C partition).
Lo and behold I'm banned again - the chip has never been on when I've been playing live, and the only thing thats the same is my gamertag. I only set up my live account after all the changes were done.
Really cant be arsed with live anymore after this - I may as well give up and resell all my originals - emulation and XBMC will keep me happy enough grr.gif

As you can see, MrSpoons has bought a premodded Xbox, which may mean that there are some dumbfucks who sell EEPROMs from Xboxes that they've sold for someone else ;/.

Oh, btw, my friend has low-formatted his HDD and his on way to put it back to the Xbox (of course this will include EEPROM reflash to get unbanned). We'll be posting the results.

It seems to me that M$ could have had all the information they needed to ban all of us for some time but they just never used it cause at the end of the day they are still making money from us but I think that the Halo 2 leak has really pissed them off and they have decided that enough is enough how else can you explain the mass banning a day or two after the leak. At the end of the day when you click yes to that user agreement you are basically agreeing to let M$ do what ever they want with your Xbox. It could be just a coincidence but to be honest I don't like coincidences
