A) MS25/Samsung... using iXtreme 1.3
Not sure, but used 5.2 and at least 2 other versions before that.
C) Assassin's Creed (have not checked yet)
D) Orignals played: Just some Xbox Live Arcade games downloaded.
E) Kreon

!!! I want to mention that last game I played on Live was on November 21st. Before that it had probably been a week. I was NOT banned until this Sunday (maybe earlier, as my friend called me on Saturday to report he was banned, I didn't get to check till Sunday).

I have not played anything on Live between the 21st (after reading X-S about the bannings on the 20th) and now. So they are obviously going by information they could have obtained a month or more ago, and just now putting the bans into place. The only other explanation I could see is that they are detecting the new FW. I doubt that.!!!

I have only been on Live since the 21st to get the new Live update. I wanted to see if I was banned, and figured Divx support was worth jumping online for.

I figured this might help a lot of people since most people are reporting they have played in the last week or so, I just wanted to help clarify they could have flagged you a long time ago.



ALSO important question:

My 360 died last week, and when calling Microsoft the hardware division claimed my console was modified (they had apparently flagged it November 23rd). Only problem is that the console had NOT been modified in any way.

I wonder if MS will replace my box if it RRoD's, Did they tell you not to send it in?

Latest iExtreme, banned on the 14th after playing Virtua Fighter 5 on the 13th.  System also promptly went RROD after I tried to delete some items from the hard drive, figuring I'd never finish downloading the demos I had queued for download.  Personally, I think MS is doing something new in the new Fall update.  Prior to getting banned, I did not even have my system connected to the internet for the last 3 months.  The VF5 I played was a real copy I rented.  This was a launch system that had worked perfectly until after I got banned.  Could MS be doing something to cause RRoD on systems they ban?  Seem far fetched and maybe I was just hit with RRoD by coincidence.

Same thing happened to my system aswell.  The RROD hit exactly after I was banned. I just pulled the sata cable out and turned on the system a few times.  The RROD went away and my system is fine.  It was done by Microsoft.

[shlipshlip]

Banned - haven't been on live in a while but checked on sunday, dec 16

A) ixtreme 1.3, samsung ms25 upgraded when ixtreme 1.3 came out
11-10-2006, been upgraded everytime there was a new ixtreme, i don't think this console has touched the original xtreme firmwares
C) halo 3, viva pinata (viva pinata is old, haven't checked with kreon but i'm gonna assume it was good, halo 3 had a bad SS, but I was not banned with the wave a week or two ago, and that was the last time i have touched halo 3, before those bans)
D) Crackdown
E) Kreon


Good luck c4eva

There is something I want to try to clear up.

Some of you are saying you have not "played" on XBL. Are you saying you just did not play any multiplayer over XBL? The 360 is "live aware". Every single game is on XBL, even if you only play singleplayer and never select the XBL option in what ever game you play. If you truly did not play over XBL, then you are saying two things.

1: You had the ethernet cable unplugged.
2: You never signed into XBL via your gamertag. (you signed in offline)

2.3rev2 does have stealth features. read up on it again. 2.4 added jitter and ixtreme added anti-firmware detection. 2.3r2 would still do all the stealth implementation. the fall 2006 ban was because people were using non patched discs on xblive. if what you said were true everyone with 2.3r2 would have been banned last fall. c4eva made ixtreme, which makes stealth information mandatory and wouldn't boot nonstealth. all my discs were stealth. the only features i was missing was jitter and and ixtreme 1.2's improved firmguard. i skipped only v2.4 and ixtreme 1.2 and 1.2r2. so it's either because of jitter, hitachi firmguard or bad (or flagged) data on the disc. all my games are stealthpatched.

i forgot to mention. i updated to 1.4 xtreme and then did the fall update. it was probably the firmware update right before halo3 launch (the sceneit controllers one)

from the 2.3rev2 nfo:
* Removed old media detection and replaced with better media detection
  (media detection ver 2) from Geremia.
* Incorporates Maximus Firmware Stealth (Full Firmware Stealth)
* Added support for 59b firmware (what a stupid fw)
* Not yet Media Stealth... I have not heard news on this topic

read the last item... The firmware had FIRMWARE stealth, i.e. a protection against the xbox reading/dumping the firmware. What it did NOT have was MEDIA Stealth, which is what SS/PFI/DMI are all about. So no, the Firmware did not disguise the backups properly. In fact, even your originals appeared "bad" to detection routines. They merely didn't ban you back then, because they probably wanted to save some dudes for later. Same thing for me by the way, I have a 59D and survived two waves, but got banned 3 days ago.

Imo IXtreme 1.4 is save as long as you did not use any previous firmware versions, that's why I'll be modding my new box when it arrives. Probably will take them another year to ban that one as well.

Read my post on page 5. I played Assassin's Creed (single player while signed in) on Nov 21st. I have not "played" any DVD based games since then. I only signed in to get the update, and I played an Xbox Arcade game once I believe. Before the 21st I think I hadn't played anything for maybe a week or so.

[screwedupsmitty]

Samsung Ixtreme 1.4, I performed a harddrive swap when playing backups and unplugged the ethernet, not playing any backups on live, which seemed to work until now.  Actually got banned in the middle of playing COD4 retail, but have recently played backups of Assassins Creed, Mass effect, Orange Box, and GHIII using XBC.  Only originals I've used over past month have been COD4 and Halo 3.  I only play originals on live and backups w/ different HD and ethernet disconnected.  Meh, it was a good run.  

[screwedupsmitty]

I doubt it, I have only played backups offline,( and yes by offline I mean i have the ethernet cable unplugged, and actually performed a HD swap so the saves werent on the same HD as my "originals" HD)and COD4 was not one of them.  I own a retail copy of COD4 and thats the only copy I have played, on my Original HD, and I got banned on Saturday along w/ the rest of ya.

2 360's, 1 banned, 1 not.

BANNED
----------
A)ms28 - iXtreme 1.0
B)None, flashed to ix1.0 straight out the box.
C)COD4, Halo 3, GHIII, Kane & Lynch, Orange Box, PES2008
D)None
E)N/A

NOT BANNED
----------------
A)ms28 - 5.2C
B)None, flashed to 5.2C straight out the box.
C)COD4, PES2008, RS:Vegas, C&C3, Kane & Lynch, Halo 3
D)None
E)N/A

It's a little strange that my original 360 flashed with 5.2C has lasted since October 06. It has been online regularly since then, but is yet to be banned.

I also have another 360 that is not banned, but that has not been moddified in any way and only plays originals, so that's irrelevant.

[telo{+}]

A. iX 1.3 when it came out, unplugged for a few days upgraded to 1.4 noticed I was banned

B. x5.2, ix1.0, ix1.2, ix1.3, ix1.4

C. H3-Good and a H3-BadSS (my mistake), COD4, Tetris, All checked good with Kreon checker (minus the wrong SS in my first H3 rip)

D. None

E. N/A

My guess is that they have been collecting for a least a month but probably more.
