@Eh: I do believe so, as my personal tests have showed nothing of the same. Taking a virgin box with a gamertag that has been banned for almost every possible reason results in no problems whatsoever. I have tested this and a few other things myself, and cannot see where this information has been coming from. I believe that it is mere stupidity on the user's part (Not satisfying the Marriage, allowing their box to communicate in a modded state)... etc.. If anyone has any proof against what I have spoken, please *attempt* to persuade me otherwise.

@Angerwound

I have had XBL since Christmas after it came out, and upgraded my HD about 14 months ago. I have yet to be banned on XBL since.

Gamertag's are not flagged. They are banned if they connect with a modified kernel or a mismatch of eeprom/hdd in they're records. Gamertag's mean nothing, I wish people would realize this.

Do any of the softmod techniques incorporate Live blocking? I hear that nkpatcher 10 may do, but I've been unable to work it out for myself so far.

Wow this cleared up a lot of my questions about softmodding and live... however Ive heard from many many people that coldbooting is not recommended. Are these people doing something wrong, or is their really a risk?

cmiz · « **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2005, 02:26:00 PM »

i would suggest you use a kernel patcher/bios loader with live blocking (so that in the even that something went wrong and you tried to access live with a hacked bios, it wouldn't let you.)

other than that, it appears to be that MS is not scanning hard drives at this time and so it really isn't a risk cold booting. (realize that theoretically, they could start scanning drives whenever though and in that case, you could get banned...that's where the potential risk comes in)

the hard drive marriage theory still applies however, so you should read up on that a little bit. (basically, once you sign onto live, you can't change your hard drive without getting a new eeprom).

go on live and sign up before modding your xbox

Coldbooting is only possible with original games, not backups because the original bios needs to be the one loaded, correct?

correct
