Hmm...I have an upgradded HDD and decieded to change back to my stock HDD before I go on live.  I have never signed up for live so I think if I go back to the stock HDD everything should be ok.   But since I switched HDD does this mean the HDD key is wrong and now I have to use my upgradded HDD?  Which HDD key is being used?  I think I will continue to switch HDDs, will I be ok?  I also just used slayers 2.6 to format my factory drive and make it look like a factory one(I used to use this and it had many apps on it).  Does this do anything that could potential ban me from live?  I also noticed a save that said something about "unknown save" in dashboard  I'm not sure what that means, but hopefully these questions could get answered.     Thanks.

You are welcome to use your upgraded hard drive. I am currently using one without problems. Just be sure to follow the rest of the things I've posted through out the thread.

has the upgraded drive your using been banned before?


Many Times.

i have a xenium ice and used the xenium os for the hdd swap. is that one that just reuses the key to your knowledge?


Your HDD Key should not have changed.

QUOTE
and if a virgin xbox is upgraded, your saying to take the hdd key off the virgin box, upgrade it with the new hdd, input the "old virgin" key, and all should be good as far as preventing a ban. (some people want me to mod their boxes, but are now scared because of all of this, thats why i'm asking so many questions. sorry)


Yes, you SHOULD be fine as long as nothing is on the 'scannable' partitions

i have a banned xbox with a 250g maxtor so i've used a new eeprom from a new xbox and got the hdd key from it then flashed the new eeprom as the old one is banned but the unique hdd key changed anyway because i flashed a new eeprom so i dont understand what you mean

are you saying use any non banned eeprom but if the eeprom might have been used on live before change the unique hdd key to one that has never been on live?

Angerwound, I read your post. then what you are trying to say is I can just change entire EEPROM except for changing only Hdd-key? If you are saying that I think that is not true. usual EEPROM has Hdd-key information as well as Online key information. So changing entire EEPROM for banned Xbox was traditional method can fix being banend. but the people in this fourm know that it has been useless anymore since M$ change their XBL procedure. I want you to answer me about what is different between changing entire EEPROM and only Hdd-key.

I've answered this many times over.

I shared this info to show the exact piece of data that was being 'marked' 'banned' whatever you wish to call it.. From live.

This is not supposed to be a 'Miracle Fix" from getting banned. If you got banned once before changing your eeprom WILL unban you for the time being however your more than likely to get rebanned unless you fix the 'ORIGINAL' problem that got you banned.

If you box is banned.... Reflash the entire eeprom with a 'VIRGIN' eeprom. OR just copy the HDD Key from the VIRGIN eeprom and place it into your eeprom's data. Either way will work.


EDIT: I'm off to bed for the night, hopefully this thread won't get too Crazy by the time I wake up in the morning. Please be patient and I will answer asap

The 'Online Key' is not checked.  (I filled it with false information and it still proceeded to connect.)

Here is the link to why the security updates were implemented. Maybe if you read this you will understand why they HAVE to be checking at least 'c:\xboxdash.xbe' and 'd:\default.xbe".  Therefore, in essence proves they are scanning.

how about the OnlineKey ? MS wont ban the onlinekey?? since the old eeprom is banned, by just changing the HDKEY is ok? ms will know that the onlinkey is banned before, why it can pass this time.. Or ms just only looking for HDKEY not OnlinekeY?


with the time it takes to edit the key you might aswell just change the eeprom

M$ IS scanning E:
How do I know? I have only played 4 games on my box in the last month. 1 is sega NFL 2005. 2 is RB6 3. 3 is Crimson Skies and 4 is PGR2. I have only connected to LIVE with PGR2 in the last 2 months. Other than that I have connected to LIVE via the dash nightly to check my status and as of yet have not been banned. Strange thing is that if I look at the content of TDATA and UDATA in E: I see that there are at least 25 save game folders with files that have been modified in the last month. At least one of these I can identify as the HULK which I have not played in at least 6 - 8 months. Yet it was modified only a few nights ago. Hmmmm???? Strange how something I have not used has been modified. OH and NO one but me uses this box. SO no it was not a family member or friend that may have done it.


I'm gonna go out and say that they are checking saved game files especially because of the halo2 leak. Either that or anything funny on the E drive

Upgraded my HD w/ Xenium Os which KEPT the same HDDkey as my original hard drive

My original HDD was never banned nor was my eeprom

I'm assuming if I used Slayers i would have had a different HDDKey than my stock hard drive ?

btw only thing i had on my E drive (besides saved games) was my dashboard folder avalaunch

now if I was never banned before my c drive is completely clean and had the same HDDkey as my original stock HD so that must mean they are either checking saved game files or any folders that don't belong on the c or e drive.
Its kinda easy for them to find saves that do not belong there

for example all of my emulator information still on my E drive along a/ XBMC , a dongle free dvd player , and SF anniversary collection which caused a problem w/ xbox live because MS found out a bunch of people w/ different region XBox consoles were all logging online to play the game (Pulse - g4techtv)

is there any way to move those saves to a different partition of the hard drive and save there by default (when not using a retail bios and dashboard) ?

What files should be on the C partition? I would love to know which ones are supposed to be there and which ones aren't.
