I'm telling you guys and you have not listened....I have been cancelled on xbox Live (Account closed by M$ not just banned) I came to terms that I have changed my eeprom 7 to 8 times in the past few months so, here is what was the past setup;

--xbox w/ smartXX using 4981.67 (disable live) however b4 the X2 bios I was using M8
--3 HHD setup but unly using one for gaming and such this was my 250G (which I was using when i got banned so many times), 160G (Linux), 80G (MCE)

After account was closed and banned
----smartxx w/ 4891.67, 3 HHDs (using the case Xtender)
-------HHD1 = 250G set as before
-------HHD2 = 160G Linux
-------HHD3 = 80G stripped to stock with only XBL Game Saves (ligit)
New gamertag and eeprom

Now it has been one week since I was screwed over by M$ in there rage about H2 and I am still good to go.

Just thought I would share my situation.

I have an evox modded xbox and got banned a while back because I accidently tried to access Live with chip on. Stupid and new to this.

I then had my entire mboard replaced, including eeprom of course, and had been playing happily online for several months. Untill I installed Avalaunch and pretty much straight after was banned again. This was the only thing that I had changed, and I can assure you I would never make the stupid mistake of trying to play online with chip on. I had every base covered.

Guys, I reckon it could have something to do with Avalaunch.

Just my feeling.

well heres how i see it.

I know that M$ has a blacklist of Credit Card Numbers, because a friend of mine recently had a problem setting up an xbl acct because he canceled an MSN account at one point. However, this was becasue they considered it a, "nonpaying" card, and the legal problems with a gmaertag discussed later arise if they banned so called, "modded" creditcards.

I also know that it would be horribly illegal of M$ to ban gamertags. Cancell, maybe. But they would have to refund unused time. However, if they really banned the acct, then you wouldnt be able to buy another xbox and play with it.

Lets think this through though, people. They KNOW that a new serial number that was put out years ago isnt going to happen, so all of you 1.4 people who will swear that tey are banning gamertags, you just dont realize how obvious it is when you reflash your eeprom.

There IS a very easily accesible serial number on the hard drives that is not stored on the eeprom. They could have been logging these serial numbers and banning them as they came back. And based on the blacklist of creditcards, this wouldnt be beyond them.

However, if you LEGITIMATELY buy a new xbox, and transfer over your xbl acct using account recovery, I dont see how they can back up banning you. There is nothing illegal about that. Quite frankly, I thikn that the SH*TS who realeased h2 and brought this upon us are going to rot in hell, but its on their souls, not mine.

I am planning on purchasing a new xbox, and running xbl on that one. Nothing except the hdd serial number seems to make sense, and if they ban the new unopened xbox, it would be as easy as bringnig the unopened box to a service station to repair. I have had one instance on the phone where I lied and said that the xbox wasnt opened, but I had bought it used, and they said that if a tech looked at it they could unban it. So its that easy.

looking for a better way to use my remailing 10 mos. of live

Well that could be true cause I got banned a while back ago cause of avalanch on my xbox so that could be it. but here the thing from what I have been testing, The reason for all the banned accounts has to do with the hdd in the xbox . Some type of scan or server note cause I put a fresh eeprom on the box that hasent ever been on live. then booted up M$dash with the modchip uninstalled on the xbox and still got banned . So from what I know it isnt casue of the modchip . Feel free to help me figure out what live has done to us online gammers with mods thanks...

read my prior post, it explains why hdd serial is the only plausable ting we have mentioned yet.

I got banned after installing avalanch too. I think its to do with the the cache it puts in the Z partition.

But after beening banned now for 4 times in 4 days. I removed my modchip and installed a new HDD so my everything on my Xbox is different nothing but my gamer tag is the same.

Its been 7 hours an still no ban.

Ok guys listen up

I just was on the phone with 1800-4-MY-XBOX . I come to find out thew talkin to a tech that was strait up with me . Put all the bull$at to the side. They havent done anythin. No updates have been sent out for xbox users. Also it is possible we are getting banned due to the dash board u are using with the mod enable. Lets take down what dash board u are using and bios u are using for me to find out email me [email protected] and I will let u in on the emails from this tech who is helping me. I think that we are getting banned due to the ip config in the ini file of evox. Because I put a new eeprom on the box booted xbl with the modchip pulled out of my xbox and nothing happens xbox live work perfect. Now 2 times today I have had the mod installed put new eeproms on the xbox play offline in evox dash diffrent games went back on live and got booted . So lets do some research guys who in on this problem please email me and I will let u read the mail from live support . I have been banned from xbox live twice today after playin on the hacked dash. now follow these steps. 1 put a new eeprom on the xbox that is working on live. 2 boot evox and play a game on the hard drive. 2 unplug the xbox live nic cord to get on live. 3 reboot the xbox and fix the connection setting from manual to auto. the boot the xbox live with the nic cord in and you should be safe for now to we figure out were the data is being stored that is bootin us when we go onlive ..... I dont know everybody problem so keep up on this form and we will work together cause I got a inside on the support thanks guys .. and allso instant message me on thatboywade2 on aol instant messenger

most def man ill aim you now

possibly

but if theres one thing io know, the techs arent informed about the happenings.

I once got a tech who didnt know why I was getting the hardware modified message and said it was my isp. Im not saying they are dumb, im just saying, they are uninformed.
