going on marriage theory, you would still have the same xbox serial.  would need to have all of them edited and locked.

Simple
I use 2 pieces of software
1 Ethereal
2 A good hex editor

Start Ethereal and start your xbox try and log into live  .
stop Ethereal and look for KRB5 under protocol (ther should only be 2 on a banned xbox 4 on a working xbox)

open the first KRB5 and save it as a file .
Use a hex editor to look at this file and scan for your MAC and serial number .

You will find both there

Workning on posting the hex file here as an image ..

here you go ...

I have blanked out my s/n




And whats that at the end of the s/n   @xbox

A small team and I are still working on this ,

Will keep you all up to date .....

[Lord-Icon]

Will do bro .!!

There are 5 of us working on this problem   ..

Quite a scare aint it ...  mind you , you have to know what you are looking for .

As I said in a few posts , I can see both
xbox s/n
MAC Address

[mrjkwik]

from what i read from another post, the hdd information is not actually listed in the eeprom, config magic just makes it look that way.  he said it actually uses strings to receive the info from hdd.  so it just gets the info and lists it in there, but its not embedded.  (from what i gathered from the posts).

seems fully possible, my eeprom lists my upgraded drive, and i never used config or anything else.  so it updated itself.

what i was thinking is if you could remove those strings, embed hdd info, maintain same .bin size, and have an operating xbox.  

i dont know, just thought i'd relay what i saw.  i have a hex editor and opened it with my eeprom.bin, but i have no idea what i'm looking at.  its all jiberish to me.  point me to where i can learn about reading that stuff, and i'll see if i can.

[Lord-Icon]

Did this yesterday ,
Booted !!!!!.

:I

I wonder if there is a match with the xbox s/n and MAC ,,,,
still working on this


PS.  Keep up the good work all , Im sure we will have a solution by the end of the week .

First off, watch the ConfigMagic video. The EEPROM does store the HD serial and HD model (and apparently it can be changed). This is everything stored in the EEPROM: XBOX VERSION KERNEL VERSION XBOX RAM XBOX SERIAL NUMBER XBOX MAC ADDRESS XBOX ONLINE KEY XBOX VIDEO MODE XBOX XBE REGION XBOX HDD KEY XBOX CONFOUNDER XBOX HDD MODEL  XBOX HDD SERIAL  XBOX HDD PASSWORD XBOX DVD MODEL

That's a stupid lie. EEProm contains:

XBOX SERIAL NUMBER
XBOX MAC ADDRESS
XBOX ONLINE KEY
XBOX VIDEO MODE
XBOX XBE REGION
XBOX HDD KEY (my Xbox is dead ATM and I can not verify it )
XBOX CONFOUNDER (dunno what it is, so I'm puttin' it here )

And how do you think; that after changing the hdd EEProm changes just like that? LOL, you're funny, it looks that you've never been playing with CM. Try editing EEProm on the fly and try to change hdd s/n .

And the things that have to be changed in an EEProm to make it 'new':

XBOX SERIAL NUMBER
XBOX MAC ADDRESS
XBOX ONLINE KEY

--------------

Taken from xbox-linux.org:

The serial number looks like this:

418932 33205

LNNNNNN YWWFF

FF is the code of the factory (02: Mexico, 03: Hungary, 05: China, 06: Taiwan), L the number of the production line within the factory, Y the last digit of the production year, WW the number of the week of the production year, and NNNNNN the number of the Xbox within this week.

-----------------

Change only one N of the NNs value. Nothing more! The MAC adress: change of the digits- whichever you like and for the Online Key... I don't know . Try to change one of the digits that you like/ don't like . Shall work after this. BUT: remember that you can ban an innocent person! Remember that it won't give you 100% guarantee to unban you and make a fuckin' backup of your EEProm (even banned as long as it works good with everything else), befeore playing with CMF.

It's all just to give you some sight on the case. I think that there might be some holes/ mistakes in this info . I don't and I won't try this method, cause I don't have any modded Xboxes and don't wanna get banned/ don't want my GT to be flagged.

[solid7x2]

In order to do this experiment, your going to need a bunch of virgin stock drives... correct? Each drive you try potentially can only be used once...

or am I thinking of this incorrectly...

[A.Z.BEST]

Dunno, maybe it is possible, but it's not so sure that "changed hdd online key" will work, so maybe only your console will get banned. Hard to say.

[solid7x2]

Heres an Idea...

1) take a modded xbox that is currently on xbox live unbanned and working
2) take an old random banned eeprom.
3) take the info off the working xbox eeprom, and manually put it on the banned eeprom
4) flash the changed eeprom onto the unbanned xbox

This way, if the 'marriage theory' is correct, it wont be violated because its still using the same hard drive.

In addition I was wondering if when you get  banned it writes something onto your eeprom, which poses this question (which may have previously been answered). If you have been banned, but have a backup of your eeprom before it has been banned, what happens when you re-flash the backed up eeprom to your hard drive. (probably stays banned, but just curious as i thought of this just now)

so with he said, its basically agreeing with what i said in my last post.  that the hdd serial and model is not STORED in the eeprom.  but the info is retrieved and shown.  when you get a copy of config magic, it is showing you what your current setup is because its retreiving that info.  note that the dvd drive is not on that list either.  so i assume the 2 easiest harddrive upgrades do not have their serials/models STORED in the eeprom.

why i said about being able to remove these retrieve strings and replacing them with STORED data wasnt to get people back online.  but to protect a new setup.  if i had this info stored in the eeprom,then upgraded the drive, the problem wouldnt be there.

of course, this is if they aren't retrieving the info from the hdd itself.  i just dont see why they'd have to if its being reflected in the eeprom.

more code to write, more money to burn.  seems to me they always take the cheapest route to get the quickest result.

[zerouseven]

can someone send me a banned eeprom files cause i didn`t backed up it...

abd now my xbox nuked

[spinr34]

 it would help if i knew where it was getting all these values from and if they are really encrypted to begin with and the dash is decrypting it or if they are really stored in plain text.

We need someone with a banned xbox, willing to try and make a new EEPROM, by altering the xbox serial using configmagic! We really need to know if this creates valid EEPROM's! It would help us supporting the marriage theory!

i'd be willing to test it, i mean wtf do i have to lose ;p  something i would like to test though is getting a known valid eeprom, swapping and stealthing my original hd for my current one and seeing what happens then. there might have been reports already on this but i've read so many posts i don't really remember all of them.  if this is true, it could further prove the marriage theory and disprove say the lpc one or vice versa.  but hell i'll even try "generating" an eeprom, don't think it will work but like i said what do i have to lose
