Config Magic Instructions added in top post.

As for changing the serial number of your 250 gb.
This is not needed, just be sure that the HDD Key is in fact that of a virgin xbox and you should be fine.

I'd love to be able to confirm this, but after replacing my new eeprom with my old eeprom and changing the HDD key to a clean one, I'm still having the "Communication Error" problem that I had after I put in the new eeprom.

So I'm back to square one.  But I'm not giving up damnit.

The 'NEW/Clean' eeprom you speak of must not be unused. Did you purchase this on the forums or back it up yourself? Please be sure these eeproms are clean before testing.

I'd say you got screwed. Grab an eeprom from another seller, or back one up yourself.

if this is the case..
why cant we just flash entirely new eeproms and be good to go?
why are some people getting rebanned after doing that?

I have a feeling because they are leaving what ever banned them in the first place on the drive. PEOPLE ERASE YOUR /E/ PARTITIONS COMPLETELY AS WELL AS WIPE EVERYTHING FROM /C/ THAT DOESN'T BELONG.

i think this theory is true, but its not the ONLY thing that M$ is checking.  for instance, one of my boxes was  banned with an almost entirely stock box.  there is more afoot here than what we see.  what about the guy whose x3 switched to backup in the middle of an h2 game?  hmm?  i think that you're right, but there's got to be more going on than just this.

I thought we established that they aren't doing HD scans? So are you playing with a modchip in the off position AND a custom harddrive? Or are you playing with a stock harddrive now that you are no longer banned.

upgraded HDD

I know for a fact certain files ARE being checked when you login to live. TRUST ME on this one. As for which files specifically, I couldn't tell you. I detailed how people were getting around the authentication before on XBL (XBE Exploits Forum, somewhere in the pinned xbl thread)... It is because of that flaw these security updates were invented.

I'm not saying that this will solve all your problems. You need to find out what banned you in teh first place and rid yourself of this. As for making youself look 'new' to the servers. This is all that is needed.

checks will involve c:\xboxdash.xbe, and d:\default.xbe

other than that I wouldn't think they'd NEED to verify any other files
do you have these files changed as well?
