Solution to the xbit 1.5 non-working stealth mode:
Ok, I have heard so much about these 1.5 xbit chips that a lot of people cant seem to disable. This is not because of a bad install, but because there is a fault in the chips design ( I think).
Anyway, the easiest way to get around this problem is to take advantage of the xbits large flash memory.
The way xbox live works is by checking which bios the xbox boots with. At this date, they are not checking where the bios has been booted from, so we can use this fact to trick xbox-live into believing that we dont have a modchip installed.

This can be found by looking under the xbox dashboards information option, and reading after the legal text.

xbox v1.0 : 3944 (usa only) , 4034 , 4036 , 4627
xbox v1.1 : 4817, 4972
xbox v1.2-1.5 :5101, 5713
xbox v1.6 : 5838

Then whenever you want to disable your chip, simply boot the retail bios from that bank, and play
