Anyone?
Edit: I think i figured it out. I'll try to install a game to the hdd. If it works, i'm flagged, if it doesn't, it's banned. Right?
If MS told you you're banned, then your banned. If you haven't tried to access Live, then your 360 will function like a normal 360. Once you try to access Live, it'll write to your NAND ('bad' secdata) and 'cripple' your console, not the HD. If you play games on that console after 'crippling' then the saves will become corrupt.
Easiest method to check bannage: dump your NAND pre Live connecting, make sure the NAND dumps are good. Connect to Live without your regular profile/HD, if your console's banned, it's banned - write good NAND dump bcak to 360 and you've got a normal 360 (sans Live).
