I am here to prove this way of unbanning to be 99% working.
The main reason why I say 99%, is because I've only connected to live three times. First after registering a new two month free account, restarting my box and resigning in about a minute later, and about three hours after a meeting and dinner. I haven't been banned yet, I'll update later.

I installed a new 200gig Seagate, without having any prior knowledge of the "marriage" theory, and, because of this, I got banned. I looked around gathering information and ideas on the safest way to get unbanned. I also did not want to return my brand new 200gig HDD because that is too much of a hassle. The steps I took were easy and quick, and got me unbanned in about an hour. I obtained a EEPROM from a friend with an ancient Xbox that has never touched live. This is basic procedure for any type of unbanning. The trick is not with the EEPROM, or having to use a stock or brand new HDD, but with finding the right disk.bin to format with. Having no luck finding one, I went on IRC, in the usual places, and asked if anyone had a Xbox with FTP access that has never been on live, or have live files on it. Sure enough, I met a guy, and he more than gratefully gave me a copy of his. What I did, was extract the Slayer 2.6 xISO, and copied over the new disk.bin, and did a stealth F drive retail Xbox installation. I registered a new account, and I did not get banned.

This proves that no, you do not need to get a new HDD, or revert to buying a new one. "Revirginizing" worked great for me so far, and was a very simple task. No need for a six hour low-level, or any other time consuming task.

The original thread I got this from is here:

Many thanks to -Gadget- for his input on this theory. Hope you guys get unbanned!

I thought it was after the second login. That's how it was with me when I got banned.

Hm... It appears that I got rebanned, but no worries, I have other EEPROMS! I'll have to ask Gadget what he did to help slyt.

I think that EEPROM I used was bad. Gadget told me to to use any disk.bin, I'm going to try that after I cancel two accounts that are flagged

I ment to say, format with no disk.bin, just erace that file on the Slayer install.

Just throw a stock HD in there on a switch and get a 4 connector IDE. You're spending more on flagged accounts anyway. With this setup even a flagged GT will not ban you.

I'DE (pun intended) like to, but with all that modding, I don't want to. I just use that two month free stuff, I got like five of them from friends. Let me tell all of yall about my story and trying to cancel my flagged accounts.

I called XBLive support, and got to a service rep. (after almost twenty minutes on hold) that was going to help me cancel my accounts. I have one account on a two month free, and another old one on a year subscription. After the rep. tried and tried to stop me from canceling the account, he finally did. But when I got to telling him to cancel the year subscription, he really didn't want me to. So he said he would break a deal, he would send me a free copy of Counter-Strike if I kept my subscription. So I thought to myself, I'm trying to get rid of something that I no longer want, and getting something that I do want in return, and that kicks ass! The game is shipping tomorrow I belive. All of you should try this with old flagged accounts that you no longer want. What made it even better, is that the rep. had no idea that I wanted to get rid of them because they are flagged.

Ah... for once M$ did something that I do like, and that would be giving me a free game.

I'm canceling my subscription tomorrow

!
