here is my story to help the cause

Have not gotten banned

I have an x2.2 lite + and a 120 gig hd, installed them both at the same time, around a year ago i'd say, then got xbox live after the modchip and hard drive, got halo 2 when it came out and i play it for about an hour or two every night with some friends, i have non-ms files on both c and e drives (i don't think they can scan f so i'm not counting that lol) BUT, i do not have any hacks for games, because somewhere along the line i heard they were scanning for project gotham hacks

So far I've been playing on XBox Live for over a week now. I haven't been banned yet. I've only been playing Halo 2. I've even accidentally booted up with the chip on and tried to get on Live once. Call me crazy, but it looks to me like the marriage theory with the HDD is accurate. I did all my mods first, then created my account and haven't had a problem. Hope it helps.

Added a 40GB hard drive from my old PC, reflashed the EEPROM of the XBox, formatted using Slayers, installing Avalaunch on the F drive and nothing on C/E, registered a new GT and as of last week I am not yet banned again!

HUZZAH!

Putting a couple games on this HD to see if that makes any difference.

OK people, enough about this crap.

1. M$ does not scan for anything other than a changed xboxdash.xbe on your hard drive. Period. No debate. If you think you got banned because of alien files, you did something wrong.... that's it.

2. LPC points... whatever. Possibly X3, but they don't for sure anywhere else. Again, if you think you're banned from this, you did something wrong (forget to shut the f***n mod off?)

3. The Eeprom/HDDkey theory is true.... that is, it's true ONLY if you changed your HDD ever since you signed on live, unless you do the account recovery right (mem card, etc). I don't give a crap if you have stock HDD or not, as long as you signed on live after this installation, boot with mods off, and with teh HDD locked, all M$ can tell is that you're just another flippin' xbox live user. If you want to transfer your account after the change, do it right or get banned. That's all there is to it.

Chances of you getting banned because you did something wrong and are stupid enough not to admit it are very high. If you're gonna use the mods, do it right. You fools.

Now all you newbie know-it-alls can stop your griping, stop being idiots with your mods or just buy an xbox for live.

I have gotten banned recently (2 days ago) which is inconvienent since i just got a brand new bigscreen. Anyways I have a V1.0 xbox with a xecuter 2.3b lite i believe and this is in reply to theories about halo 2.
I have been playing xbox live for about 2 months now, signed up on thanksgiving day and have been playing halo on it for that whole period.
The reason i got banned was no mystery, it was because i was a retard and accidentally signed in with my modchip on.
In addition i had the copy of halo 2 that was leaked on the internet before the release day and was playing that and saving my progress, and all of this was done obviously with my modchip enabled. Those of you who think that they look for the french save files are wrong because i have had these french files on there since day one of me signing onto xbox live. As to reports of halo2 putting a file called nickname.xbn or whatever on your c drive I have no such file. So they couldnt have possibly put that file on my xbox because i would have noticed it and i have been doing all the things that would have made this alleged file appear. I also have all of my stuff like evoxdash.xbe and heck even a porno movie on my c drive. So i dont believe that they are checking the files on your c drive. Also a note though i am using my original hard drive and have not upgraded.

To throw in my info.

Have an xbox with x3, 300 gb drive and on xbox live with no problems yet. Don't think this box has ever been on xbox before, but I bought it used, so I don't know.

What you need to do is get a new EEPROM, and then change your HD before you go on live with the new EEPROM.

dyinman · « **Reply #370 on:** January 28, 2005, 04:22:00 PM »

Gumba's right. If you went on LIVE before modding, that means after you install your new HDD, be sure to also install a virgin eeprom (one that has never been on live). You lock your hdd with teh new eeprom, and all is well. Transfer your account.... and money.

Bullshit with other crap theories out there. Won't they ever die?

And yes, there are xbox tools for accomplishing flashing a new eeprom. In fact, to put all this shit to rest, here's what I've done in the past.

Since my xbox hasn't been on live, after softmodding a friend's xbox, and then installing a new HDD (this of course, all after he's been on live already).... I flashed his eeprom with mine, and then continued to lock his hdd using my eeprom. He's been playing halo2 on live ever since, no banning.

Just be careful with your shit.

Yo, just got a new box with alladin advance chip. I really want to get to Live, but as I can afford another xbox i´m afraid of getting banned.
How can I clean C and E partitions of not MS files?

And how do u know if ur HDD is locked or not and how do u do it?

DragonPark · « **Reply #372 on:** February 17, 2005, 12:36:00 AM »

I really dont know about this banning method... Ive had an X3 in my XBox for a few weeks now and have been playing halo 2 habitually and have yet to be banned. Mine is v1.0. It may be that only newer version have this capability, who knows.

ok, let me ask u guys something, sorry for being a n00b and all, but my xbox is signed up to live, and i want to install an x3 modchip. i also want to have another hdd, but, if i get another hdd, and format it and stuff, but then get a hdd selector, and switch off the modchip, and switch on the stock hdd, will i still be able to play live??? or will the ban me?

? so it would be like playing with a stock xbox, except with the larger hdd turned off, and the modchip turned off. would i still be able to play live???

yea dats wat the whole thing about Marreiage theory was. The EEPRom locks if u put a new HDD in. But the snag is.... if u get banned, u need a new EEPRom AND a new HDD.
trade in ur Xbox for a new 1. AND also sell ur HDD and get a new 1.

damn read the posts on the forum bfore u post.

And if i were u i wud also follow Angerwound's advice and put anything modding-related into the f drive

EDIT: Use ConfigMagic. Its better than Xenium IMO. Either way its nto too much work to get ConfigMagic and install it. I also heard of a few Maxtor drives that dont lock wit Xenium. (found that when i checked my drive lockability xboxdrives.x-pec.com) (If u wanna chk it too.. my drive is Maxtor 160GB ATA133)
