hes 100% correct, all three of those are tied in with the eeprom and hd serial matchup

lol, that sux. that would explain me getting banned after playing the french one. After i played that i flashed my eeprom and i was unbanned temporarily. Looks like some1 finally got it. Im just wondering if that whole method posted about switching back to the retail and everything is right.

But wait, I still have never changed my harddrive. It is still stock and I have never done anything to it but add evox to the C and programs to E. Or maybe it could be me reflashing my eeprom 7 times. hmm.... lol. Im gonna try the harddrive swap method and pray i dont have to buy another box.

I have not banned and I swap to the stock drive when using live

This may be the only sure fire way of not getting banned... IMO they have no way of detecting a chip that is off... everything else is stock, bios, hd, everything... so, maybe this is the ticket?

nah man, it looks like if youve ever changed your HD or your eeprom(probably eeprom) then you are fucked. I assume it would be safe to say if you have never changed your eeprom or your harddrive then you are fine.

Let's pretend i'm a little slow....
what does this mean?

dfroot · « **Reply #25 on:** November 09, 2004, 09:55:00 PM »

it means halo 2 is checking the harddrive.
One more reason for me to hate bungie.

i dont know why some people arent banned, but this looks like the reason most people are.

No, it has nothing to do with Halo 2.

I don't even have the game and never downloaded the pirated copy and I was banned today, as have many others who never even touched Halo 2.

It may not have anything to do with a recent game. MS probably had your named on file for months and chose today to ban.

I think it's safe to say, if you have a mod chip in your Xbox, MS has found a way to find you, regardless of whether you have a stock drive or a 250 GB drive, or whether your mod chip is on or off.

ok, ok. it seems most of us here are screwed...i'm really really really hope that MS will pull this as a warning?

if there is any slight chance at all that we can fix this without having to get another xbox, somebody better start crackin. ither that or hack into MS's xbox ban list...
