Thats exactly what I had stated in another thread Arakon...I believe that you are on to something. I simply believe that MS has a way of detecting that you have a chip installed and people will continue to get banned until they remove them.

@A.Z.BEST®

of course the 1.6 bios runs off the lpc port, but it would be very easy for MS to distinguish wether it's a modchip or their own xyclops chip.

and a tsop flashed box can either

a) not go on live anyways (256 kb tsops)
or
b) they can easily check if the entire tsop contains a valid bios or not.

also, have tsop boxes been banned multiple times yet?

@Sacrilego

I swapped the HD along with the eeprom, but I also restored stock state on the HD.

I have a question... Has anyone without a live account on a modded box, went to create one only to realize they are banned already? Or does this happen when logging in to live?

My question really is, if you don't have a live account on the system to log in with, can you be banned?

I asume that if u tryed to connect to live with chip on the xbox would be banned, whether u have an account or not

I think the guy 2 post up meant to ask has anyone with a old xbox that never came with live, modded it, then upgraded it to live from retail disc and started a account, found themselvs banned immediately?

just thought id add ive never been banned always play live with the chip off, and all those files that are with your game saves worried me to some point been ive been good for over 2 years now with chameleon 1.3 120g drive evox 3921 evox dash

even after playing SWBF ive never had to change auto sign in back to off, no game for me thus far has enabled it

i would have to say its the eeprom issues as stated the whole time or something in your info that you give MS when signing up for live like your name and credit card info for the people multiple bans , maybe they flag your name as well since it has to match CC info

who knows

Who have actually got banned:
- people who have bought premodded Xboxes (EEPROMs might been sold for someone else)
- ppl who have been banned at least few months ago, and then got rebanned
- ppl who have bought EEPROMs from those damn resellers

I'm just laughing of those guys who sell EEPROMs few times, heh. If you wanna steal, do it with style. Steal millions not 4-5$ for an EEPROM, lol.

i just got banned from Live today, i log on to play and boom, i'm banned...i was able to play 6 hours before that successfully and i thought it seemed fine (i put a new EEprom in the night before because i was banned before) and i played all last night, all i play is Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO and Guilty Gear XX #Reload, this is the 5th time i've been banned (just got banned 2 times in 2 days), i got banned for signing in with the chip off (i have an apple x-3) the console was set on chip off and i get banned, (Regular Green boot-up screen = Chip off, Orange boot-up screen = Chip on), what the hell is going on here? should i erase everything from my HD to prevent something? i don't even have a bigger HD but all i had in my HD was a lot of saves, Street Fighter : Anniversary Collection and tons of Dead or alive 3 Costumes

ps.: is there a way to decrypt v1.6 EEproms? LiveInfo Beta 2 can only decrypt V1.0-V1.1

KPunk, how do you know MS is doing what their doing?

Never been banned before...I dont even have a live account yet, getting one this week, prolly gonna find my old one and renew or just get a new one. I have a new version of xbox 1.6 with a xecuter 2.6 chip, mod disable and everything, i use the slayers evox i think 2.5. my xbox is a virgin to xbox live, now since i dont have a live account, if i play a backed up game it wont try and connect will it? i'll make sure to remove my xbox to the net when i enable my chip and only ftp using a cross over cable. i have not nor will i attempt to DL the game we cant say here, why would i, its only 2 weeks away.

you guys think if i take the right precautions i wont get banned? my chip is sooooo gonna be off when i get a live account and my box was factory sealed when i bought it

and only one time i did connect to the m$ dash while my chip was on, but that was only before i flashed my chip

I have a quick qeustion. For all you peoples that HAVE been ban, have you guys played Halo 2 on your Xbox? If so, then I have 2 solutions of why they are doing this. 1) Scan for Halo 2 profiles (not likely) or 2) They scan your catche files. I do have XBL, and I havnt logged into it for about a month because ive been hacking Fable. Then I downloaded Halo 2, and now after reading all these posts about changing your EEPROM and shit, I am thinking they ARE doing some scans. Not certain what kind of scans, but your catche files may be one. One day I was searching my catche files and I was hex editing them and it had EVERY game ive played on my Xbox. So im about to log into XBL after copying a whole freaking back up of my Xbox. Hopefully I wont be getting ban like everyone else! Ill post in a couple of minutes of my results...

Digital Marine · « **Reply #86 on:** October 29, 2004, 05:41:00 PM »

Oooooook, had a little problem with my UDATA files....they were all corrupted. I am copying over again and seeing if that will fix anything. Ok, I deleted all my Xbox apps saves, like the DVDTongleFree thingy. Now im about to log in...and im in. 2 friends online, and like a million off...thats unusal. Ill be posting in a day or so to see if I get banned at all! So far I got into XBL.

Digital Marine · « **Reply #87 on:** October 30, 2004, 01:12:00 PM »

Still not banned....now I have an audio exploit. I finally figured out how to install the freaking bitch!

Dieseldoug · « **Reply #88 on:** October 30, 2004, 01:45:00 PM »

. Is it also possible that Bungie & M$ could have leaked a Halo2 version onto the net for the sole purpose of tracking modders because they would be the only ones that could get their hands on a copy.
