if you are banned from xblive are you ok on xbconenct, or kai?

[solid7x2]

yeah, live has nothing to do with xbc and kai

now im not saying all this  is false but  i always can get on live without probs. i went thru 2 new hd  plus the stock and i was always able  copy my saves and play with no probs , never was i banned .  i guess either im lucky or there somthing else u guys are doing. i also notice shannafan is'nt  responding much in this thread. i guess either he been too busy or  he hasnt had the same probs as u guys

Okay here is my update

The v1.6 previously metioned as going well on Live, is now banned. This GT has now been banned 3 times since Oct.16.

My v1.3 with Aladdin ADV64 and stock 10Gb is still on, with dash files and apps on it too. I think this one will be fine. It has been on everyday since B-Day.

So now I flashed a new EEPROM to my v1.0, my XBOX, and also setup a retail 10Gb HD, with only MS files on it. It is working on Live just fine for about 12 hours now. So Im not out of the clear, except that I am also unplugging the chip from this one. So technically this XBOX is not modded at all when signing onto Live. If it gets banned, Im calling MS and raising hell.

Well thats all the info for now.

So here's my theory after reading all this


1st ban
- Your XBox (or one using the same EEPROM info) got caught on live with your chip on some how, wether it be Live Aware or accidentally clicking the Live tab
- Gamertag is flagged with infraction

Following bans (after EEPROM updates)
- Happen if you connect with chip on (duh)
- Using the same HDD that you were using when you got banned

HDD Swapping
- Safe if you've never been banned. Can do it multiple times.
- Must be done if you were banned. HDD must be locked to a new EEPROM.
- HDD doesn't need to be stock

Things to prevent being banned
- Use a bios that has Live Blocking
- Swap the HDD and EEPROM (if banned)
- Buy a new XBox and don't mod it

Ok, kinda new to this but I have a question.  I have a virgin xbox that has never been modded or banned but I do play xbox live all the time.  I bought a 120gb hard drive and a xecuter 2.6.  Will I be ok installing the new HD and Chip or do you think I wll be banned?  Thanks in advance.

[shank69xo]

I would be very cautious about installing a new HD if you already signed onto Live with your reatil XBOX HD. Nothing has been set in stone yet, but I beleive you run a VERY HIGH chance of being banned after installing that new HD.

To be safe, use the old HD only for XBLive. Thats the situation I am currently in too.

Shank69x0....

Please update us with your results.  I just acquired a stock hdd with eeprom and I'm wanting to take my xbox back to retail without getting a new gamertag.  I'm hoping that will work and that I'll be able to get it done before the real Super Tuesday.

poiygon: if you want a big HDD and have been banned before you MUST grab a new gamertag as well.

I'll test this when I get a new EEPROM for my banned XBox. I have a brand new 160gb standing by to swap in my XBox. So it'll go from this:

XBox v1.2
-- Banned once for a stupid mistake
-- Banned again 12 hrs after signing onto live after changing EEPROM
-- 60GB HDD (same for both bans)

To this:

XBox v1.2 (same banned box)
-- New, unbanned EEPROM that has never been on live
-- New 160gb HDD that has never been used (and never been on live)
-- Same gamertag (poiygon)

*edit*

And just for more information: I also have another modded XBox (v1.4) that has not been banned. I'm running live on it using the same gamertag that I was using when the other XBox got banned. This XBox has a stock HDD installed in it.

How are you people having your Xbox when you're trying to get banned? Are you just connecting to XBL and then trying again in a number of hours to see if you've been banned? As you may have read in my other thread I'm trying to get more information on the network stream and packets that MS are using so I can cut off the problem before it reaches the Xbox. I'm basically trying to replicate what you guys have been doing.

I dont think any of the ppl here are\were trying to get banned,
Is that what ur are asking maby i dont understand but if ur testing and want to get banned wouln't u just turn ur chip on a go live
