move "EvoX" to "F" and Reflash your chip. so it loads from "F" and remove the "Apps" folders on "E" u sould only have 3 folders in there. "CACHE" "UDATA" "tdata" Edit* I'm so sleepy I forgot to look over what I typed.

I was planning to put all my stuff on F as at the moment I've removed all my apps. My concern is that the apps may still use the E:\UDATA folder which MS could detect.

you change your eeprom (HDD key) with ConfigMagic

Very interesting.
Now how can we switch hardrives without changing the initial key that is used to lock it with cause each hardrive has a special decoded key or whatever I believe.

How can we get rid of teamassembly, too that should be a big issue here guys but everyone wants to ignore it. just like people ignored this until MS stepped up a notch and its only a matter of time where they step up again.

How do you know that there not gonna check for an illegal bios file and then nock on our door steps and sue us or warn us?

1.  what if i got onlive with original harddrive BEFORE new banning system, upgraded harddrive BEFORE new banning system, and then successfully got onlive BEFORE new banning system?  would i have to worry about getting onlive with new harddrive AFTER new banning system?

2.  what if i upgraded my harddrive before ever touching live?  do i have to worry about anything about getting onlive (minus foreign xbox files)?

OK, I've tested this theory out (am I the only one besides Angerwound to test it?)... My Xbox was banned on the 9th.  Haven't got around to getting unbanned until tonight.  I decided to try out this HDD key theory.  I used a backup of an EEPROM from one of my other (XBL virgin) Xboxes to get a new HDD key. I followed the steps exactly as Angerwound posted: I did not change my HDD, or anything else on the Xbox. My results: When trying to connect to Live I get the "Technical Configuration" error.  My XYZ codes are posted below.  So, this HDD key unbanning technique did nothing for me, except get from the "Moddified hardware" error to "Technical Configuration" error. X: 0000 - 000D Y: 00C2 - 0184 Z: AFFF - 0018

From what i have read in this post, if you were unbanned you wouldnt have known it because you didnt change what got you banned in the first place. You were probaly re-banned with the new HDD key because you didnt change what they banned you for in the first place. This is only a fix to get unbanned, not a solution to get on xbl according the angerwound.

What's the difference between "getting unbanned" and "getting back on XBL"?  It's the same thing, and changing the HDD key didn't do it.  To be honest, I didn't expect it to work.

By the way, when I went ahead flashed my EEPROM with the virgin EEPROM image (the one I was getting the HDD key from), I was immediately able to get back onto Live.

[Nick1472]

The Difference is:
Getting unbanned - you are unbanned, but when the servers see your xbox is modded you are banned again with the new HDD key.

getting on XBL - Figuring out why you being banned.....LPC scan, stuff on E, modifed xboxdash, etc......fixing that problem, then replacing you HDD key with a virgin and getting on xbox live.

How i understand what angerwound is saying(i may be wrong) is that this will only get back on xbox live if what you got banned for before is changed(which is unknown at the time). This is not why your getting banned, but what is getting banned when they ban you.

Correct me if im wrong, Nick

Has anyone else besides Angerwound gotten this goin?

At work now, going to put my banned hard drive and flash my banned eeprom back to the box, then Im going to use a fresh eeprom's HD key and see what happens. Im with DZV on this one, and don't see how this could possibly work, but if it does?     Has anyone else besides Angerwound gotten this goin?

ive gotten it working on 1 xbox so far by jsut typing in a HDD key from en eeprom thats been sitting around for 2 years. works great

you did this using a previously anned large hard drive?

[zoomer777]

Angerwound...

Couple of things: first, moderators should make a sticky for your procedure that doesn't allow replies (except by you!) - this crap is getting messed up with everyone freaking out coming on and saying "OMG! OMFG! Help me, my xbox is banned, oh no!!!!!!!". And then people throwing in random stuff like "I think M$ is scanning your brains for bad thoughts and banning you." Opinions are like elbows, everyone's got em.

We need control here people, and a thorough investigation of particular setups and solutions!

First off, Angerwound, I have flashed my EEPROM before to become unbanned, and it worked, so I know that procedure, but I am not sure what you mean by your step 4:

4. Place new HDD Key within the correct box

Is this something typed in manually, or read from a good EEPROM bin file? Sorry, I'm not anywhere near my Xbox at the moment to see how to use ConfigMagic to do this.

Second, you talk about "scannable partitions" - would you care to share what your C: drive looks like (listing the files)? I need to make mine match it. And what have you done to your E: drive to make sure nothing on there is suspicious? Did you just reformat it? I notice that when in no-hacked mode (hard switch with my X2 lite chip), you can see certain files when you go to manage your memory from the xboxdash that are associate with mod-software (XBMC, Pxx HDDLoader). Can we just delete all this from that list, saving regular savegames to solve the issue of partition scans finding anything suspicious?

Thanks so stinking much for your time!
