today i did all the steps necessary to unban myself from live
new eeprom, new hd, new GT
and everything has been going good for about 1 full day now
my advice is just get a stock hard drive, and get a bios that does not allow booting into xbl (that saved me once already)

I have a v1.0 box with an Xecuter 2.3 Lite and 120GB HD. I swapped the HDD and installed the mod about a year ago. I tried connecting to Xbox Live for the first time (after the mod and HD installs)  and it was unable to connect. No message saying  "your console has been modified"  appeared. I called tech support and after reading them the error codes they said that my Xbox needed servicing because of an error on their part (remember all that talk of old Xboxes not able to connect to Live?) They even said they would do all repair free of charge. Obviously, I could not send in my modded box for repar, so I bought a new EEPROM. I was able to play Live fine for a long time. When Halo 2 came out I played all the next day and a couple weeks after that. The last time I played was probably early December. I turned on the box to play today and BAM- "Your console has been modified." Well, they probably just started scanning LPC points, because the marriage theory flunks my situation.

Another case that those in the know could use to tie down the new banning trick.

This is my setup:
Xbox 1.3 PAL
HDD: Stock with NO added files
Mod: Xecuter 3
Games: original NFSU2 & Burnout 3

been on Live for about a year (un-modded) so not likely to be flagged.
brand new install, got banned within 24hrs of install.
first got error when connecting from MS Dahboard (with X3 disabled of course)

am using live pass-code, so no accidental connects from within games.
also have X3 feature enables to prevent live connection when X3 enabled.

I would have to guess that only likely snag could have been a LPC "scan".

Lucky for me my original subscription was due to expire anyway, and Live is not worth the £40 for me.

My scary experiance after being banned:

I have a xbox 1.0 and a 1.6
Both softmodded
Stock HD
The 1.0 was already on live.
After softmodded on live for a week, I got banned.
The scary thing was, that all the Settings .XIP files had 0 bytes !

So M$ is checking content of the HDD, and even modifying files.

I'm just wondering is this all could be blocked by a linux firewall?

MS looses a large sum of money every time they sell an xbox, just because they make up for it when they sell you a few $50 games. So when you dont buy those games for your new console, they lose. It lookes like they lose either way... smile.gif


Anyway, on to the reason I posted...

To test out the LCP theory for all those out there with Xecuter 2s...

 My theory is that X2 can't get LPC scanned with or without a flagged GT and X3s can , but only with a flagged GT, not without.

 Alright, as far as I know I can do the following, WITH a flagged gamertag, and get unbanned:

-  I am going to try and replace my eeprom with a new random eeprom, and replace my hard drive with a new random hdd also(not my stock hdd, and not from the same xbox as the eeprom, however, neither has the eeprom been 'married' to a harddrive, nor the harddrive been 'married' to an eeprom). I am going to play with my modchip unplugged for a few days and make sure I don't get banned.

 When I feel stable back on XBL for a few days, and know that everything is working & that i'm not getting banned for what I replaced, I think I am going to try and plug my modchip back into the LPC point, leave it disabled, and try using xbox live. Remember now, my Gamertag is flagged so this will most likely proove if XBL is doing LPC points and whether or not it applies to Xecuter 2 chips also or only Xecuter 3 chips - because as I have been going through these forums, I have been noticing a trend that mostly people with X3 seemed to be getting LPC scanned, and this wasnt happening to people with X2.. This is just my theory.

 I also believe that there is no Hard Drive scanning taking place. This seems out of the question, but again, I honestly don't know.

 If you know that simply doing what I said above (4th paragraph only) will not get me un banned, please tell me before I waste another eeprom, but it seems like it would work to me, as there is no modification that can be seen(no alien files, no married eeprom/hdd, no LPC plugged in)

 Also, someone stop me before I sign in with my modchip (plugged back in to the LPCs and disabled), if you are sure that I am wrong about my X2/X3 theory... otherwise i'm going to test it.

Thanks a lot, Dan

Dan, I can't wait to see your results!  I have been searching for an answer to if this LPC scanning is true or just a rumor.  Thanks for taking on the challange.

This whole topic is very interesting to me, but this completely agrees with how i am getting banned. I was playing on live and i accidently logged into live with a different bios (subconsciously thought i was signing onto live) and i got banned right away. Got a new eeprom, played that night, next morning, banned. Got yet another eeprom, played that night, next morning, banned. This is the reason i have been getting banned. from now on, after i get my eeprom, i guess ill just remove my chip when i wanna play live. either that or a new box, and i just dont have the money for that
