I warned him about updates/new account buttons so that he does not nuke his box since he boots off the HD. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to boot X-ecuter v1's in an evoxdash or yboxdash manner so its not Xboxlivedash safe unless you use CD. And please correct me if I am wrong but there is no flash utility for those chips??
In the end he got a modded XBOX and I got back on XBLive without scamming the retail system or hack methods. So it worked out good for both of us. And to top it off he got my nifty Xskins I bought from XBOXWrapper.
So you may want to opt for the same and find peops that you know are hooked on phone modems for atleast another 1-2 years or just the type that wont spend the extra $15 over AOL for High-Speed plus another $49.95/yr for XBLive. Trust me there are plenty of them
Ooops..Note: I should tell ya that I do have another XBOX with Matrix installed, 80G, searching for a 120G right now or can I use a 160G, which is the limit if any? Didnt want anyone thinking the XBLive ban thing converted me or something Geez imagine how big, Bills head would expand then....

| 120 gig is the largest you can put in the xbox or a computer for that matter. Anything larger requires a special ide controller card which you can't simply put into an xbox. |
thanks aGeMo

As somebody else here said, if it was just an XBL update that "somehow fucked (your) dash" then just replace your C:\ with the backup of the 'virgin' c:\ and you're good to go.

| You are missing the point. I didn't fuck the xbox up, M$'s live update cd did. It fucked my dash so my xbox is dead. I did nothing wrong to fek the box up so I don't feel like it's my fault. If my box was just unable to connect to live, but still worked, Id keep it, however that isnt the case, so fuck it, Im returning the bitch. |
You're not serious, right?
You DID fack your box. No one forced you to MOD it.
Listen, I'm ALL for modding, but you MUST know the consequences of what you're doing when you do it. You have to do it with the full knowledge that your system may no longer work at that point.
Just because no one bothers to research what they are doing (did you find out about updating with live ahead of time?), does not me you need to go out and scam some store... it's horseshit.
You kids need to learn responsibility.

This is starting to sound like the official M$ xbox forums...lol

I happen to agree with them, but then again, I don't pirate/"backup" games.
Could this just be inciting people....? Hey, probably.

| fuck THAT! i don't care if you ARE a mod! as i stated before, NO ONE is to tell others whether things like this should be done or not. IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO COMMENT ON IT! You can teach your kids shit, but you can't teach others on a modchip forum shit. just keep it to yourself. |
No, I will NOT keep to myself... yes, I'm a MOD and it's my PLACE to comment on this shit. I do NOT like to "censor" however, and I believe in "freedom of speech".
Yes, you have the "right" to talk about this, but I don't think THIS is the place for it. This is a PUBLIC forum, that includes impressionable children (teenagers). I don't want some kid busted trying to exchange his jacked up Xbox, nor do I (and I know this happens) want this Xbox to be sold to another paying customer. It is NOT always given back to the manufacturer.
How bought if I taught someone to steal your mother's car? Is THAT okay? How about if I teach some kid to slash your sister's tires? ...I can "talk" about that on the forums... but it's not RIGHT! You are talking about something illegal and you can NOT justify it. Talk about it all you want... but not in these forums... it's not the PLACE!

I totally agree with this comment. It IS theft and should be totally discouraged.
However, ( and this is me playing devils advocate
) teaching people how to bypass security on a remote system, to which you have no legal right to access, by spoofing your information might be considered illegal too.Not that I give a fuck
