Please guys, start reading the post before yours. You need to ZERO your hard drive and get a new eeprom, and gamertag. The key alone wont work in this case!

why do we need a new GT if we low level format ,new eeprom ,and never have any more non MS code?

Because its possible that even though all of this has been done, it is believed Flagged gamertags (regardless if restored or transfered via memory card) are liable to cause heavier searches of hardware/software content in your xbox. Ur probably safe if you have zeroed out ur stock hard drive, but if its larger, ur taking a risk.

I'm up on a new box with my "flagged" GT,I'm safe so..If I reformatted my banned drive in my modded box and got a new eeprom and had absolutely no unsigned code anywhere they shouldn't ban me unles there is something to the lpc theory or hdd password theory.If there is a flag on banned drives a new GT is only delaying the inevitable

The first post in this thread should be edited to say that a new gamertag is necessary, along with a zeroed HD, or atleast one with a removed disk.bin. Basically, this thread is confirming the Marriage theory, but is saying that MS is not keeping HD ID's on their servers, but writing info to a part of the hard drive that is not erased with normal file commands.

one of us should put the new factory hdd in the modded box and connect to live and since MS "loses" money on new console sales the estimated 100,00 + mod users should buy new boxes remember you get a 30 day warranty for testing purposes

well, i will apologize for posting before reading everything.  thing is, i was keeping up with the "marriage theory" and someone on the hdd theory until about 4-5 days ago.  i started working on something else.  unfortunately, you start getting bounced around from thread to thread and it starts to get a little confusing.  that is where i picked up making sure that c and e are cleaned up.

just tell me real quick, what do you mean by zero out.  completely reformat c and e? i have a completely stock box, that i installed a wireless adapter on so i could slap my ice in there and copy my c and e drive out of that.  so if i reformat c and e, can i just transfer the stock files that i copied to my pc onto that drive.

again, sorry for no being completely read up.  generally i try to.  

thanks.

Why is it so hard to believe that they can tell the difference between a stock drive an an upgraded HD?

ALL INFORMATION AT THIS POINT IN TIME SUGGESTS THAT YOU WILL BE BANNED IF YOU GO ON XBL WITH A FLAGGED GT AND A NON-STOCK HD!

A non-stock HD is an HD which was not sold by MS inside an Xbox.

I'm getting so tired of hearing this crap!  MS Looses money with every XBOX BUILT!!!!  NOT SOLD!!

In other words, if its on a store shelf, then they have already lost all the money they are going to loose from it.  All you will be doing is making the console sales figures go up, which makes the system look more popular, which makes them MORE MONEY from the sale of licenses to third party devolopers..

Angerwound instructions do not work, and this thread should be locked or erased.

I used a new eeprom, went back to a previously banned stock hard drive that was erased and returned to original state, and was rebanned within 24 hours.

Once a physical hard drive is banned, MS records the serial number most likely, and marries it to an eeprom.

To get unbanned, you need a new eeprom, and a new physical drive. End of Story. Additionally, if you use a large hard drive, there is good evidence that a previously banned gamertag gets extra hard drive scanning. When they do that, it's probably not hard for them to figure out that you are using a big drive, and you will get banned.

See the above post.

Obviously you haven't read the entire thread...

This thread's original purpose was to explain that they are using the HDD Key as the piece of data that is being banned from the servers. Not a miracle to stay unbanned. I merely stated that to get unbanned; one would need a new eeprom or HDD Key. However, I did not state that this would KEEP you unbanned. You must first fix whatever got you banned in the first place. (The numerous 'theories' flying around).

This is the last time I reply to such a question since I have answered it numerous times throughout the thread.

   Angerwound, Whats the lattest?


I'm still remaining strong on this box. It's getting close to a full month of not getting rebanned and I have never done a full format of the drive. Just wiped the 'C' and 'E' partitions and registered a new gamertag. Therefore, I see no truth in this 'disk.bin' theory. However, I will not bad mouth it since I have done no research in the area.
One more thing, it is okay to keep whatever you like on the 'E' partition. At the moment my 'E' is filled with random junk as well as hacked gamesaves. They are definately not scanning this files/folders. However, I do believe that /c/xboxdash.xbe and /d/default.xbe are being checked at authentication.
