It can be done.  You need to install infectus and downgrade the kernel.  Then you need to do the same on another system.  

Then you can change the console ID in the console.  But as I said you need a working unbanned console to do it so its not really worth it.  You are trading a working Live system for another one.  As two of the same I.D.'s detected with get both consoles banned pretty fast.

Will changing the Console ID effect the DVD key with the Motherboard?

Is this still possible? I thought that the timing attack holes for downgrading the kernel were fixed? I haven't seen much regarding timing attack lately, but did see a post that said the exploit was fixed. (I know in the newer consoles that there isn't the original kernel available so it isn't available on the HDMI consoles.)

Newer consoles, or repaired consoles, can't be attacked with the timing attack because the version of the bootloader (CB section of flash) is 1921 or higher. However, currently the bootloader is not upgraded when the dash is updated, so consoles with CB 1920 or earlier can still have the timing attack performed even though it's been 'fixed'. The CB version is not displayed in the dashboard, though - the only way to know if your older console is old enough or not is to dump the flash with an Infectus and check.
