Hmm
i have an old 46 Hitachi, took it offline 2 weeks before the dashboard update - You think if i boot up ~100 original games that would 'clear' the flash memory of any backups being played? lol

[edrock200]

One thing I'd like to hear C4E's thoughts on is the lack of the video partition on layer1 of DVD+R DL discs. From my understanding, at present there is no way to properly replicate this standard which exists on original discs, and it is something MS can query.

People were talking about the xbox kernel logging if you were playing backups or not even if your offline.  Does anyone know if the xbox kernel from the fall update would log these things or if it only just started since the spring update.

It has nothing to do with the fall or spring update.  MS was checking to see if you had a backup disk in your drive whether you were connected to Live or not.  Only consoles that have been using stealthed backups are not banned at this moment.  I don't think anyone is sure when they started checking for this but it doesn't matter if you were using your backup for Live or offline.  If you had a non-stealth backup = banned console.

How do we know this for sure? How would this explain unmodified units being banned? When the new firmware gets released I will test that theory. I took the update before the bans started and disconnected after it was completed. I think MS is looking at more than we anticipate, maybe the new firmware won't even work. They'll likely get it right eventually but there are to many questions and not enough answers (yet). I'll reserve judgment for now.

I've got a couple questions that might be dumb or already answered somewhere, but here goes:

1)my xbox 360 has been banned, does anyone know if there is going to be something in the future that can "UNban" my xbox? just wondering, not expecting any miracles

2)If i put MY 360 hard drive into a friend's (not modded, not banned) 360, to update my gamerscore and go to the marketplace, is there a possibility of his getting banned? dont wanna screw him over for no reason.

thx

1) no, not at this time.

2)  He should be fine, since its your box that gets banned, not your account.

They are pre-spoofed then.

Anything 4.0 and above is based on an MS28 - either on a 28 or spoofed as a 25.

I have used non-stealth disks (yes, my own lazyness) disks before and after the spring updat. Obviously I will not be doing this any longer and I will re-do my backups.

I am NOT banned at this stage but I have NEVER played on live.

Same here, I've played oblivion, of which my copy  is not stealthed (no video and no PFI/DMI) AFTER the spring update.
Totalling 10 hours or so (bloody addictive game that is  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) )

NOT banned.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

NO, in the makefirmware.bat command in all of c4e's releases, you can choose to either make the drive report as ms25 OR ms28. they are pre spoofed if you make your firmware with xtreme boot maker though.
