I played Halo 3 online like on the 12th i checked it on DVDmulleter and came back as badly stealthed and havent got banned yet and people are getting banned after the 12th. I think m$ have to get more than one result of a backup before they ban.

m$ are either testing there theory on how to detect backups or still dont have good enough proof that they are banning modified consoles because of stealthed backups its making it harder to detect. My advise dont go on live with a backup until the hackers find out how microsoft are banning people. Its too early to say oh its the kreon firmware as it may not be its not worth the risk if its something else.

Its too much hassel to change your consoles id maybe some guy working for m$ can leak the software there using to give consoles unique keys haha then they would be screwed.

With registering your console it doesnt mean that they will check your console they can do that as soon as you sign into live. It funny how m$ are saying "ohh were banning people to protect are service and its customers from hackers"

Has any1 been banned for using a "good" backup according to kreon checker? or DVD Mulleter?

You need to wait for the Infectus downgrader to change your console's ID, then you can get back on Live, or you can buy a new system. Replacing the EEPROM alone doesn't work, at least from what I've read. YOu need to use the ID from a known dead system or something, or a console that never goes on Live.

About the modded GH2 - you can find info (the "info" you want) in one of the "usual places", and I believe there are some tutorials on scorehero.com as well. I'm not gonna go any further, cause I'd probably have to break the TOS, and I don't want to do that.

Seriously? Im sorry man, but if you're modifying the games in any way,shape or form...You deserve to get nabbed. *SMH*

I had survived the last two ban waves but got banned a few days after updating to 1.4.

I'm not saying 1.4 is neccessarily to blame but maybe there's something wrong with that release.
I got a Samsung drive, MS28.

Until 1.4 release I had 1.2 on it and I stealth checked every single game. I also had no "creon checker says bad" disks. The only reason (other then 1.4 being bad) I can think of is that I had played with a bad Crackdown DMI before Ixtreme implemented a check for it (I believe I was using 1.1 at the time).

I have also been banned this afternoon on my MS25 drive. I have two 360s one ms28 and one ms25, my ms28 drive is still not banned at this time. This is confusing on two counts I used the bad kreon rip of MAss effect on both consoles, yet one is banned the other is not. I had up until 1.4 ixtreme came out 1.2c on both consoles I updated both consoles last week to 1.4 now the ms25 is banned and the ms28 isnt. Very strange indeed Im not sure what that is all about to be honest. I was going to buy an elite after christmas anyway but no harm done, i managed to get the latest update with divx support so the banned one will have to suffice as a media hub in my bedroom from now on.

So be warned people the banhammer has a commeth once more even on 1.4... yuk!!

I wonder if I should even upgrade to 1.4. I am on BenQ 1.1 and have not been banned yet and am hearing about people getting banned right after upgrading to 1.4.

ZakMcRofl · « **Reply #171 on:** December 16, 2007, 02:18:00 PM »

There is a theory that only those who had a pre-Ixtreme 1.2 firmware installed were affected.

So please report if you had a pre-Ixtreme 1.2 firmware installed at any time.

My 360 has gone from Xtreme 5.3 to Ixtreme 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 (ban).
In my case I blame the bad crackdown for my ban, I just wonder why it took them like 10 months to ban me for that.

So as states earlier I have played bad Kreon Rips of Mass Effect and Orange Box while connected to LIVE and still have not been banned. I am using the original BenQ firmware, I believe C4EVA XTREME Benq V1.1 Multispeed.

Here is what the information says under the warranty page:

Device: Xbox360 Hardware
Warranty Status: In Warranty
Repair Status: No pending repair

Obviously I left out my serial number, but it says I am still in warranty. I have been reading that some have been banned by updating to 1.4 even though they were fine before. Should I risk it? Or continue on with my current firmware?

No you dont, I have been playing this afternoon I downloaded the extra media update before the console got banned and it works fine without live.

in that case then I would assume that my ms25 has been banned because like you say I started with 5.3 etc etc and worked upto 1.4. interestingly enough though my Ms28 has only had 1.2c and 1.4 on it, so it maybe the case that your assumptions could be correct.

Well I currently have BenQ Xtreme 1.1 installed so I guess I wont update.

i don't think it's the firmware,

i've updated my benq from 1.1 to 1.1 5x and now 1.4 5x

not banned, still in warranty

It could be the firmware i just read the update for it and it says it stops the 360 degree value from being sent which to me sounds like m$ will ban you for not submitting the value only a theory though. If you have played a newer game such as halo 3, PGR4 and orange box that are bad rips then firmware anit gonna save you no matter if you update. Once m$ have you on there list your getting banned. I so far have been lucky but i bet im gonna be banned soon.

The hackers will be looking into how people are getting banned and most probably will find out in the next month or so and then there will be a fix always the case m$ will never win. Hopefully it will get sorted and we can play backups on live without the risk of being banned would be sweet.

..........just read on XBOX forumsThe point is there is no appeal process and nothing will be done, that's a fact and Microsoft even state that case.

The problem they also have is if one person says I haven't modded i'll send in to prove it, well all they need to do is revert their "mod" to stock. I am not coming here saying your all liars I am saying there are people that do just that.

Every time a disc is inserted it polls it for timing of C/R if the drive/game does not produce all the correct responses that will notify the Xbox live system. It is unknown if automated or not. But it has to respond with wrong answers to cause a ban.

If you are geniune then fine. Your drive would have to be on its way out or weakening to provide incorrect responses. Therefore eventually you'd be in need of a replacement anyway. I do repairs and know how it works. However I will not modify any console to play illeagal games..........
Problems with your 360? Drop me a pm, i'll be happy to help.
