I didn't the only thing I can see is that the Marriage theory is right I was on XBL for like two years before moding the box and then two days after Halo 2 BAM I was gone

I have another XBOX that I bought which is at home, was made in October of this year probably a 1.6 but I am debating to mod it even though I have a X3 sitting right here, 1 year live subscription card, and a new 120GB hard drive, lol

. What ya think, should I do it?

I'm just throwing this out for speculation but my question for those people who believe that MS is putting power to the LPC bus. Couldn't you take a multimeter and check if the voltage changes on the bus while it is on?

I would guess that the POST-type check would verify certain aspects of the hardware (BIOS version and HDD type and size). The program itself could flag a FAIL if the HDD was too big or a different manufacturer, or the M$ XBL server could check for a FAIL when you log in...

But are you saying that MS would only run the check above in what scenario? They are obivuosly not doing this all the time or everyone with a larger than stock hard drive would be banned.
It could be possible that if MS has any reason to believe your xbox is modified, maybe flagged GT from before using the same info, or along other line, they could run this extra check if neccesary.
I still think MS is either randomly banning people with larger hard drives or have some secret security mehtod that Bill Gates made up himself just to screw us all over.

I have a 1.0, X3, 120 Maxtor. All apps and dashes on F:\
I'm pretty sure that I was banned because a friend who was banned before brought over his GT and we played on my Box. Sucks

Well I already got a new EEPROM from a friend who does not use his box on live and I'm gonna pick up an Xpod (good excuse) to fit my 120 and my old stock drive.

As long as I only log onto live with my stock drive I should be fine from now on correct?
Thanks guys

If I were to buy a new xbox just for xbox live purposes and I used my gamertag that I used on my modded xbox, will it be flagged and fuck me over for the new xbox?

if they do 'flag' GTs and you use it on a never been modified xbox, you will be fine. A completely stock xbox is the way to go if you have the money and dont want to be hassled with worrying about bannings.

on the other hand, tons of people have been banned and are now back on live... And there hasnt been any changes recently, which is why this forum has been relitively slow lately

OK, I'm just throwing this in here so maybe some of you guys can figure things out.

I got a SmartXX chip with the M8 EvoX dash.

My HDD is the stock HDD, although I did try to install some apps on to it so i did create some folders that were not ment to be there originally.

I bought my XBOX recently, so I think I have a v1.6.

I was playing live fine, then got banned. I deleted the extra folders in my HDD, and I'm getting a new EEPROM and flashing it to see if I can get back on XBL.

I think I speak for most Halo enthusiasts when I say that XBL is way better than XBC or XLink Kai.

one other thing... where do i find a decent Need for Speed 2 live forum??

StevenX · « **Reply #344 on:** December 30, 2004, 05:57:00 PM »

So what I'm getting for all this is very simple. We're screwed. Go get yourself a stock XBOX, play for a bit, then take it back to walmart.
