A couple of months ago, i had a friend who offered to flash my xbox so that i can play his games (copied). Now, I don't want to risk getting banned but i do want to go online onto xbox live. So the question arises: First of all, is it possible to do some sort of restore to get rid of the modification? I want to go back to the way i got the xbox from the box, and i have even purchased a game (there goes 60$) to play on live.
The only problem is that i am, as you would put it, a newb. This friend is currently out of town and it is unclear when he will be back. Can you guys help me out?
I also found a thread that discussed the fact that M$ doesn't ban people for firmware. However, said topic was dated to 2006. Has anything changed?
I have never gone onto Live, and the games that I have were stealth patched/checked with ABGX360.
I would like your guys's help in going Legal
I have no idea if if this is true or not and i don't feel like experimenting with my xbox, people say that you can go on Live no problem if you BOUGHT the game, and still have a flashed drive. Is this true?
Anyways, thanks for all the help I will get in advance

the fact is that you can restore your drive and there is a possibility that you wont be banned but nobody knows... if there has been a backup/burnt game played in your system (either offline or on) even if they were stealth verified whatever (which nothing was stealth because thousands of people who played stealth verified 1:1 backups still got banned) there is a chance you will get banned.. the only way to be 100% sure is to get a new never modified untouched xbox
