Banned Again...wtf?
« on: April 05, 2006, 09:41:00 PM »
I've been doing some reading and I've seen some stuff on eeprom versions and version changing.... Could this have anything to do with my repetitive bannings? I took eeproms from several Xbox's but have no idea what versions they are anymore... Anytime I loaded the new eeproms into the systems they seemed to work fine... Any help would be appreciated, these bannings are pissing me off hardcore!!

if the eeproms were for the wrong version the xbox wouldnt boot at all, 1.1-1.5 all use the same version eeprom

so you ever use any hacked or modified content online? when you replace your HDs are they stock or large HD?

sometimes its best to just buy a second xbox and keep it 100% stock for Live

Instead of buying all new hardware everytime why don't you just get a cheap xbox to use for XBL and have your modded one for everything else?

I only want one xbox hooked up to my set, I've got too much other crap going on to deal with another xbox. Besides, I REALLY want to know why I keep getting banned...

When you bought the eeproms are you absolutly!!! by no other way possible, for sure, on mother natures green earth positive that the eproms ya bought were never on live before? I had a friend by an eeprom b4 and got screwed.

Ok, here's the deal, I got all the eeproms from friends systems that have less than zero interest in Live, thus they were NEVER on there and never will be. Also, every time I switched eeproms, I always made up a new GT.  Any other ideas?

I've experienced the exact same thing with my TSOP mod. I have a switch installed and everything had been going great. After a few days of playing on Xbox Live, I got banhammered. The only thing I can think of is that MS is cracking down harder on mods because of Halo2 cheating that they came up with some other means of checking if you have a modded box. Unless someone has any bright ideas, I think we're boned.
