And bob_barker, my friend tried running his original bios off his mod chip and tried loging into Rainbow Six 3, and he was ban.  So maybe its your X3, but im not sure.  He used a X2, I think.

XB version 1.0
(Im guessing its 1.0 because it says Kernal 1.0 in Evox) I got this xbox about a year after launch-right when the enigmah chip came out.. Is there a better way to tell what version XB im using?

**BEST WAY TO NOT GET BANNED**..quoting too many to list here
-GET A SECOND XBOX FOR  XBL!!-used ones are only a buck twenty..then you dont have to worry about what hdd's,or if you have the chip toching the lpc or what not

Just my opinion...i dont have the time to replace eeproms anymore

Something that doesn't make sense to me about the marriage theory is:
I had 1 xbox, modded, with stock 8GB drive and no mod files on HD.  I used this box for 2 weeks with no problems on XBL after Halo2 release.
I put in a larger HD, and it got banned.
I used the stock HD from that xbox and put it in my friends xbox (which had been banned due to large HD).  Reflashed his EEPROM, and he's been on XBL just fine since.
So, if M$ had collected the HD serial number of that drive when it was being used on the first xbox, why wouldn't my friends box be banned after using it now?  Also, this was the 2nd time his GT had been on with a banned box (so I would assume if they are flagging it, they would have checked his box)

Well...one thing...its called "marriage theory" for a reason. "Theory" means "A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.", and I pulled that off http://dictionary.com because I dont feel like typing it out myself.  But, it hasnt been FULLY tested, so you cant just count on it to be right.  Also, did you put your EEPROM and shit on your larger harddrive?  If you didnt then that could be your problem.  And I thought you could change your harddrive serial number using Config Magic.  Im not sure, Ive only used Config Magic once and I forgot to lock my harddrive, so I ended up with a fucked harddrive (I have no mod chip).

Good one Digital Marine, lol.

Here's my 2 cents. Has anyone considered this?

Maybe MS is intentionally NOT banning some modded xboxes just because they want an array of confusion going on in the modded society.

And when i say confusion....... i hope i dont have to explain that. I say leave it upto the modchip companies, trust me they will figure something out sooner or later, its bad for their business.

I say just use a fucking softmod!  Damn, it will solve all your problems, atleast it did for me.  You can do a harddrive upgrade without messing around with your LPC ports.  Just make sure you transfer the right shit (EEPROM, etc) to the upgraded harddrive.  Then voila, you can do almost the same shit a mod chip can do but cheaper!  I saved myself about 50 dollars from just softmodding.  It might take more time, but ur chances of getting banned due to LPC ports is ZERO percent!  So then you just have a upgraded harddrive, and if you get banned for that too...then sol, next time go with a switch to switch between original harddrive and upgradded harddrive.  I personally think mod chips are a waste of money, but that is my thought.  If I can do almost the same shit for free, then wtf, im going for the free path.  I also think its easier and less stress installing sofmods.  You also dont ruin your warenty by opening your Xbox (if you keep orignal harddrive).  If you fuck up your harddrive, nobody will know (like repair people), ITS MESSED UP.  They will either reformat it or just pop a fresh one in for you.  I forgot to lock my harddrive once, and my local repair guy just popped a new one in for me.  Of corse I was ban from XBL, and didnt know...but thats besides the point....

And yes I did use profanity a lot, im pissed, at some fuckers, and I think softmods are the way to go if you dont wanna go through all the confusion of the gay MS banning.

Lmao, there are definitions of "fuck" at http://dictionary.re...m/search?q=fuck
The 3rd definitions is all stupid (and funny)..."Used in the imperative as a signal of angry dismissal."  They could of just said something like "Used when someone is angry" instead of like a scientfic definition....

Now since I think about it, it would be kind of hard to do a hard drive scan.  They would have to upload a bios that can read F and G partions and then remove the bios so we cant use them.  That would take some time for them to scan like that.

Same here. I started using live with my stock HD. Swapped HD for a bigger one in July. Banned 9th Nov. Flashed EEPROM, put original HD in, Slayered HD to retail. It would seem that they aren't logging serial numbers as I was able to use the original HD again with a different EEPROM. Now if they spotted my HD marriage broken, why did it take them so long to ban me?

Now, you were banned soon after swapping your HD, in the post-Halo 2 world. I think I have enough to propose a new theory:

There is no marriage of Xbox Serial and HD Serial. The Live 2.0 updates allowed the Xbox to secretly write data about changed components to the partition table (cookies), but XBL was not able to access this data.

Just before the Halo 2 launch (Say Nov 7th) M$ rolled out the updates required for H2. These allowed XBL to read the data from the HD. Thus, everyone who had changed their HD after 2.0 was banned. Anyone changing their HD (without a new EEPROM) post-H2 would be caught fairly quickly.

Perhaps M$ scanned every HD just before H2 and caught most upgraded HD's. After H2, people with flagged GT's would be scanned more frequently, wheras those with new GT's would be scanned perhaps every week/fortnight.

That makes since, but cant you subscribe with a Xbox Live 2.0 still?  Just copy the dashboard over to your upgraded harddrive, pop in a Xbox Live 2.0 game, and then try to log in.  It doesnt detect an account so you click Regester, and would that upgrade your dashboard or will it let you sign up??
