Ive ever played on live with my originals or backups the only time i ever used live was to download the odd demo and at them time update my 36 so whats the chances of a ban.What happens when you need the new updates to play the latest games.

If you wish to update, find a mate with a 360, go to his, he comes to you, whatever, take your HDD out and put that mother in a nonbanned console with your live profile, then insert orginal and wham, there you go

On that point, I love what Bunny said regarding he spoke to M$ about allowing homebrew to run on the xbox and prevent people copying games... Hes so neieve M$ will never do that, why? Simply put consoles including the xbox/ps etc are all high end expensive pieces of kit, that cost more to produce than they gain from selling them. Thats why games are expensive and thats where these companies make their money...

Then why does Sony let us run Homebrew? And Sony does NOT make a profit on their consoles. It's a smart move...it takes away the urge to hack it....for some of us ;-)

IMO flashing out of the box before even making a live acct. is still the best idea. Its just that most of us didn't take certain [/b]other precautions. While others may have taken them... i would think most who aren't banned just got lucky with their gaming habbits, not even aware of what was explained by C4E tonight.

And if you read C4E's comments correctly, EVERYONE who has played a copy on XBL will eventually get banned.
No matter what firmware, drive , if you flashed it out of the box etc etc
its just that the banning is done manually, thats why its taking a while for everyone who should be banned, to get banned.

read the C4E comments again m8

The idea that people are going to go out and buy PS3 because they can no longer play copies is rediculous. If they weren't prepared to pay for games on 360, they won't pay on PS3. Logic eh?

Anyway, great work C4E and GaryOPA, great work lads.

Manual bans?

That's a hell of a lot of xbox profiles to scan through by hand, even if flagged so they aren't having to go through every live user.

Not banned yet, haven't played a game on live for months but iXtreme FTW (Firm the Win).

So all i have to do is take my harddrive to someone else's 360 to update but i thought it updated something in the 360 its self

hmm i think the checks implemented at the moment have something to do with kreon rips vs ms28 rips. I have flashed close to 100 drives and most people have been banned. Of those games earlier on I ripped them using my ms28 on my xbox and the rest with the kreon drive. One of my mates who only plays a few select games which happen to be ripped from the ms28 happens to not be banned. garyopa himself said that kreon rips aren't safe so people that are not banned are you using ms28/ms25 rips only or kreon ones also?

quote from front page: "which means that probably only the Toshiba-Samsung / kreon setup has been extracting correct SS"

but maybe the kreon disks are different slightly I dunno?

I hope the Kreon drives are correct, if so I wasted money buying that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I think this is good but for now I've decided to buy a 2nd 360 later in the year and actually buy the very few games I want to play on live. This way I have it all, most games I never played on live anyway and there were very very few I did and I can afford to buy them. MS will find a way to ban in the long run, it's nice to see the effort, but I don't think it'll hold. They will always be able to create new discs with new methods of check implemented on them and still ban.

amen, I agree. We will counter for a while but not for good.

Unless as above it is down to non stealth firmware and not using 100% stealth backups, can anyone claim to only have done so?

well seeing as i'm not banned i'm sceptical as wheather to update when this new fw comes out

bucko · « **Reply #86 on:** May 22, 2007, 06:11:00 AM »

I think the best way to play backups now is to buy a Core along with your Premium/Elite and mod the Core Unit but set it's network gateway to 0.0.0.0 and set a manual IP address. Keep your Core up to date via CD updates and make a hard drive using HDHacker or use a Memory Unit (use the memory Unit to load your saves on your Premium/Elite to unlock achievements under your gamertag).

wcrov · « **Reply #87 on:** May 22, 2007, 06:18:00 AM »

yeah....

Great job C4e and Garyopa! Freedom off the M$ world!!!

i can't wait for this release!
thanks!

How do you do the updates via CD, several people here have mentioned that but none answer to how it is done.

Can't wait for the new FW. I just bought a Blaster360 so hopefully I'll be good, I like to push the limit though.

Just use a banned console for your power solution. I.e. take the drive out of the new console. Plug the power of a banned console into the drive and connect your sata as usual to the pc. When flashing is done, put the drive back in the new console and done.

No need for molex or adapters..

I don't know anyone around me with a banned xbox 360. Not everyone does.
