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??

I was referring to changes made when Live 2.0 was rolled out. The new "features" added then are still present in the current version (3.0). When I swapped my HD, we were on Live 2.0 and so according to my new theory my HD change was logged using cookies. Until Live 3.0 was rolled out, M$ wern't able to access this data so I wasn't banned immediately.

biggrin.gif.  I change the tab to say "D MARINE" and it loads Evox, but I still like the audio hack better then this one.

When I signed up for Xbox Live (Which was like 4 or 5 days after the halo 2 release date) my Xbox was modded (Xenium Chip) with an upgraded hard drive. I just got banned 3 days ago.

I don't know what could fix it. How can a new EEPROM (or w.e) fix it? How did they ban me in the first place, I signed up with the hard drive.

Do you think if I just take the mod chip off that they will unban me? Cuz I'm really fucking pissed, I wanna play halo 2, and I have like 11 months left of Xbox live... I don't really want to buy a New Xbox!  mad.gif

Thanks for all your help in advance!

M$ bans your eeprom, as each xbox has a unique one.  Removing the chip will not get your account back, although if it does we'd all like to know.  When exactly did you upgrade your hard drive, before or after siging up for your live account?  Evidence seems to show that M$ was "marrying" hdds before the newest update even, sometime in the summer maybe?

God MS is so lame... I can understand if MS scanned your extra hard drives and everything else for cheats and hacks, but they shouldnt ban us because of it "modded." That's bull shit, you know why?

Basically, the XBOX is it's own computer. All gamers around the world mod their pc's, with different graphics cards, hard drives, different CPU, etc... Well, why should XBOX be an exception? Now like i said before, the scanning of hacks and cheats is fine with me, but they shouldnt freakin ban you for a modded xbox. That's like banning all these gamers in Counter-Strike, Unreal, and Call of Duty, because they have an advantage of a better graphics card and memory. That's just stupid. We as the people have the right to mod or mess around with anything we buy, except selling the XBOX's that we mod. These people in court should do something about MS's way of "banment". Just so stupid..  mad.gif

Whats your problem chavanet?  Go through the whole thing you did.  Im really good at softmodding Xbox's, so I may beable to help you.  I was wandering, does anyone know if you will get banned for the Xbox Live tab exploit?  I finally got it working, and I figured out it doesnt clock loop at all (it loads some hacked fonts).  But now im wandering if it will ban me from Xbox Live if I dont cold boot off a game.  Im currently on Black Arrow after cold booting with it, but I dont feel like cold booting every freaking time!

Also, Stallion001, I think your right.  MS is gay!  Why the hell do they have to ban us?  We bought these Xbox's from them for $150!  I have 2 Xbox's!  One was like 250 dollars (when they first came out), and one was 150 dollars.  We are supporting MS by buying Xbox's, why cant they just let us mod it all we want?  We should beable to mod anything and everything we want!  I dont think there is a law saying "You cannot mod a Xbox console".  We bought the Xbox, its in our possetion, we should beable to mod without MS chewing our asses out.  I mean yeah, people dont like cheating online, so just ban cheaters for like a 10 day period, not forever. Thats a cheap ass way of getting money!

Also, I think I would throw something in about the marrage theory.  I dont think its true, because think about it...if you were to buy another Xbox just for the hell of it.  Never got banned at all, and you transfer your account over to your new Xbox via memory card.  Then you log in, then according to the marrage theory, wouldnt you get banned because its not the same EEPROM and/or harddrive serial?  I mean yeah, its a good theory, but it just wouldnt make sence in all cases.  But then again...its a THEORY...

Marriage theory states that you will get banned if a HDD key or eeprom show up on live again without its matching part.  A new xbox would have both a new hdd key and eeprom and would not get banned because neither has been seen on live before.

I believe (although i could be wrong and gladly welcome other's ideas) that you must cold boot, otherwise the exploit is enabled which loads another bios that live would detect.  I've set my leds to be orange/red when the exploit is loaded so that i could tell what state my bios was in.  As long as it was green (only possible if you cold booted with the game in the drive) it was Live sage.  This used to work prior to the new bannings, but I haven't had a chance to try it out recently.  Does any hae any experiences about soft mod and the new live?

Yeah, I know about LEDs and shit.  But this isnt just a font exploit.  It loads MS Dash, and I renamed the "Xbox Live" tab to "Evox Dash".  I dont think it loads a new bios.  It does work off some bert and ernie files, but they are redirected to Xbox.bak and XBox Book.bak (they HAVE to be renamed bak because they ARE redirected).  But then, I click on "Evox Dash" and it loads Evox with m8 bios supports F partion so I can have 2 extra gigs on my original harddrive.  I also have my LED solid red when it loads the m8 bios.  And I havnt found any new exploits on the 5160 dashboard.  I just use the 4920 dashboard....

Well at least i have another opinion that agrees with me...


And in reply to you, xKhAoZx, i know that we do have the right to mod our xboxes the way we want, but i mean why should we be banned if we go online on XBL with it? I'll say again, XBOX Live Services should just search your hard drive(s) for cheats. Look at Steam (www.steampowered.com), the program used to play Half-life based games online on ur pc, they made their own security module, where it searches your harddrive for cheats and hacks. They update it i think every week. But, they allow users to run their own config files, if its bieng ran in a funny way, you are kicked from the servers, not banned. You see, the configs are user-made, meaning they can tweak their graphics, boost FPS, and such, so thats NOT ILLEGAL. Now, if any hacks or cheats have been detected from the security module, your banned for a year. Why dont XBOX Live Services just freakin scan your damn hard drive for the cheats? Are they too lazy to come up with a module to do this? Or do they want to keep losing money from banning people who mod there xbox. Does STEAM ban people for people who mod their pc's? Or make their own config files? HELL NO. That's why MS needs to stop trippin, and just make their own little xbox live module.

Once you try to login to XBOX Live, it scans your HARDDRIVE, or it detects something bieng ran awkardly. THATS THE TIME THEY SHOULD BAN YOU. Not over a freakin modded xbox. Last time i checked, XBOX is a computer. So why cant we modify our "computers" just like we do the real ones? That's my point exactly. I'd nail these MS people with these questions if i was a lawyer, just to see their responses, or their lame excuses for their lazyness. I'm sure many people in the XBOX Modding community agree with me... (except the cheaters, who dont like my idea of the security module..)

Thats just my opinion, and i hope you all agree with me...

Digital Marine: Something that just dawned on me.  You've been using this exploit to play Black Arrow on Live?  And I'm assuming that you have non standard files on your c and e drives?  Therefore this would directly contradict MS scanning the hard drives (at least a complete scan, perhaps checksums on certain files or something).  It would be interesting to what files have been modified for your exploit and compare this to other's who claim that the only way they were banned was through "HD Scanning".  I know its old news but i recently came across this post (and subsequent thread) from angerwound http://forums.xbox-s...pic=292191&st=0 which would suggest that MS could be scanning some files, but if yours works then obviously not all files.  Perhaps this is the key all us soft-modders.
