I modded my xbox and did a backup of the hdd.  Then I changed out the hdd and used xbl for two months without problems.  Yesterday I got the "modded hardware error" so I went back to my original drive and it will not connect.  I do not have halo2.
Do I have to replace the keys?

So Angerwound...you're still going strong on LIVE?

No ban yet?

Yup, still not banned. Been playing Halo 2 like crazy too, mod on and off.

Yeah.. think that's true, as when I ran Halo 2 it installs an update, then connects to live fine but after I quit the game and went into the dash to go into Xbox Live on MS dash, it give me the modded box message.  So I'm going to do some more tests and report back.

Okay, I cleaned my E from what I can tell, only 3 folders, Cache, TDATA, and UDATA.
Still getting Modded Hardware or software message.  I'll try some other things later.  Any ideas?

When I first signed up for xbox live, my system wasn't modified and I still had the stock hd. Later on I decided to mod my system and I got a bigger hd. I've been playing on XBL from the bigger HD ever since, but I haven't been on XBL since June 2004.

So angerwound, according to your method, could I attach my old stock hd to my Xbox, install slayer's auto-install 2.6 onto the stock hd, get the HD Key from it using configmagic, attach my bigger HD back, and then put the key on it, then I will be able to play on live?

First of all, flash a new eeprom or change the HDD Key. Erase the 'E' partition competely and make sure only the dashboard files are on 'C'. (The MS Dash will create the /tdata/ and /udata/ DIRS) Then, create a new gamertag and I'd say you will be covering all your bases.

So, when you play with the mod on (not on XBLive of course), are you running a backup copy of Halo2 from the HD?
I assume using the same profile/savegames offline with modchip on (from the HD), and online with modchip off, is safe to do?

Yup, I have run it both from HDD and from DVD. I also use the same gamesave.
However, when I want to go live, I remove it from the HDD of course.

This is in reply to my post-


What are the files that I SHOULD NOT remove from C and E? I think that my dashboards (MXM and EVOX) are located on C. Where can I move them to and how would I get them working again? Also, do i have to get a new gamertag?

So, Angerwound, your saying you got a retail HDD Key, swaped it out with your banned one, still have a mod chip, still have an upgraded HDD with modded files and saves on it, and you still havent been banned?

I do have an upgraded hard drive, however I do not have any files on the drive that shouldn't be there. After changing the HDD Key(EEPROM), I created a new gamertag and have been playing since. I just keep the mod off. However, if I do use the chip, I am sure to erase whatever I placed on the drive while using it.

If I were you, I would find a copy of slayers and replace everything on your /c/ partition. If you can't find slayers then this is the average setups.

/media/*.*
/fonts/*.*
/xboxdashdata.*****/*.*
/xodash/*.*
/xboxdash.xbe

As for your /e/ partition, you can entirely erase it. The /udata/ and /tdata/ DIRS will be created by the MS Dash.

If you have an upgraded HDD you could place your homebrew stuff on /f/, the /f/ partition is not available while running a retail kernel.

I would suggest getting a new gamertag, I am unsure of how the new 'banning' system works entirely; they could very well be flagging gamertags. I would suggest to go ahead and create a new one so you won't have any problems in the future.

Alright another test I did has ruled out that it's detecting the Mod chip, took the chip out booted up and get the modded xbox hardware or software message when I try to connect to live.  So its on the software side since all my hardware was original.

so let me get this straight
i have a Halo LE XBOX that *had* an X2.3B Lite+  that i recently plucked out and installed for a friend, in anticipation of the release of the Xapt3r and the X3 control panel. i will have his xbox for a while as the plastic was soft and now the mobo standoff is unthreaded, and the screw will not go in, wait for replacement, bla bla bla. he told me he has ZERO intention of going on XBL EVER, so i have his entire EEPROM at my disposal. in the red corner, i have a seagate 120 gb that was supposed to go into my box a week ago, but then the whole mystery hd ban thing came up. now my hard drive..... is a total mess. unsigned code all over the place. i have evoxdash.xbe on C:/, god knows what is on E:/, and i have a backup of a game i own, and lil sis scratched up on E:/...... i think, i have to check. oh yeah, and there is certain PAL gamesaves on there too  ph34r.gif , i was gonna remove them, but i was really far into the game, so i left them, and lucky for me, my X2 liked to set the date to something ridiculous like 11/02/8907, so M$ has no clue biggrin.gif. i play H2 on live just fine, play motogp, PGR2, all that. so if i install the new HD, in theory, all i have to do is snag my friends HD key only using configmagic, no need to take his whole eeprom, and just replace it with mine, pop the seagate in, copy all my old files back, and shazoom, thats it? oh yeah, i have that one DVDX2 thingy on there somewhere.
