So today i flashed my lite on to LT (after keeping it offline for two months) and bam got banned, off course not because of LT but because I was already flagged two months ago.

Now that xbox is ready for the recycle bin. There is no hope for it because 8955 is not "homebrewable".

Now I'd like to know what you would do in my situation:

I have another xbox 360 lite on, not banned, not flagged, and -8xxx,
I was planning to flash the nand etc in a couple off weeks but now the situation has changed...

Should I leave xbox Live forever?
Should I update the spare xbox to +8xxx (lose homebrew possibility) and play on live?
Should I go for homebrew all the way?

I will defenitly dump my nand from my spare xbox360 before i use it online.

Is there any advantage of removing the efuse for me?

It's up to you - If you want Live:  Sell the banned one and put the money towards a new 360 arcade. Or update your spare 360 and lose all ability to 'homebrew'

If not: uncripple the banned one and use it offline. Have a JTAG'd spare console.

If you remove the resistor (R6T3) on your spare and try and update it to the latest dash, the update will fail. No point in removing R6T3 if you're gonna update to the latest dash.

I thought you couldn't jtag a console if you had a dashboard above 7xxx

use the unbanned xbox keyvault spoof it on the currently banned one, now the banned will pose at the unbanned one and will be usable on xbl
then, on the extra 360 (the donor) flash it for homebrew

edit
Nvm... forgot you need the keyvault from the unbanned console too

Or just practice doing the NAND dump on you banned console and clean up the NAND so that you uncripple your HD.

I replaced my banned xbox and bought a flashable one. I do have 2 xbox in all. The other I will never open. I bought way too many legit games scarred to hack my XBOX and recently got into flashing. So for me LT isn't a big deal.

Besides after getting 1 console banned, its not worth it for me. I've gone legit since the ban and will prob be like that for a while.
