My 54420 Box Got Unbanned?

So this is a legit way to check?

And you get the error right after you click request a repair right? not after submitting form?

I'm getting white blank page when I go to the repair page

xbox.com seems to having some issues.  Most of the time I am getting blank pages when I try to check my repair status or warranty status.

Heh, got banned as soon as I logged on. Seems to be hit or miss so far. PS3 until the dust settles.

Yeah. Both of my consoles got the 54420 error so I decided to flash one back to OFW. Put in a retail game but right as I signed on the banhammer got me.

How long was this system not online before you flashed it back to the OFW?

I was going to do this myself but I've decided against it for two reasons; 1) the code could mean I'm already banned, which would mean as soon as I connect it up I lose all HD functionality and corrupt all my saves etc., and 2) only two people have had success un54420ing themselves so far - at least one person has been banned in the middle of attempting it.

I've been thinking, could the error code mean that there's been an error in communicating with the box (i.e. it got banned and now the US site can't check the status of it)? Some people are still playing away with that error code, and that's what I find fishy. But then I suppose I haven't heard of any legit 360s getting that error so...


If I get banned and my HD gets nuked, could it be fixed by swapping it out with a new HD?

No. The "saving games to hard drive" feature is disabled in the banned console, in the NAND. The hard drive is fine and can be used in a non-banned console.

What does this do?
EDIT:

Now that i acutally look at my 360, my case has a different serial number then when i check in Settings.

The Serial Number on my 360 case registers to an Elite (which i have) and does NOT have the 54420 error.
The Serial number on my 360 settings registers to a pro (which i DO NOT) have and HAS the 54420 error.
IM SO CONFUSED!

Sounds like someone bought your elite before you and swapped it out...

Now that i think about it, before i got into the 360 scene i had some guy mod it for me. He fucked he mod up and had to give it to someone else to fix. But before i sent it away i wrote down the serial numbers on my 360 case and my 360 drive so i know i go tmy shit back. I got it back and it was all working. So i guess the guy gave me a new mobo?

But how could all my settings be back to normal once i poped my 360 HDD back in?

Wouldnt i have to recover my avatar? Pretty sure i didnt do that...


EDIT: Id also like to inform you guys that ive been playing Gears online for almost 4 hours now lol

Last day of October. Day after banning started so maybe that has something to do with it. My other console hasn't been used in a month but its a Liteon so can't get back to OFW. Keeping that offline until the new firmware, maybe just maybe.  rolleyes.gif

Nope, everything would be fine except for XBLA titles or the divx update. Those would be fine as long as you were signed into live, but offline they wouldn't work. If you didn't have any xbla games or the divx update before you got a different mobo, you'd never know the difference.

Backing up my NAND before I try. Any particular way to go about Live after I flash back to OFW?  blink.gif


Hi R3volt

Can you briefly explain the steps and materials needed to back up your NAND. Could you also point me to any reference material such as a tutorial. Thanks
