Well, guess what....MS DOES have mod chip detection on XBOX live. I'm a beta tester for 2 weeks now.
I have a Matrix, with ybox bios, blah blah.....all of a suddden today, i was unable to connect to live. After calling MS and checking the problem, I still coulnd't connect. I finally tried my other XBOX never modded - and guess what, it worked. Using the SAME NETWORK cable and all.
Wondering even more, i pulled the Matrix out and deleted evox off the hard drive. Guess what, STILL CAN'T CONNECT. They obvously block your serial number once it detects the mod.

I wonder what people are getting if they have the TSOP flashed and boot from it. For example if you flashed the TSOP using the matrix like previously figured out and then took the matrix out and tried connecting to Live. I would think that might be the best option but who knows maybe MS is actually detecting the bios.
I also wonder if MS is doing a CRC check. Which indeed I would think we are screwed. But I find that very unlikely. So the mystery goes on...
I have faith in the Xbox mod chip community...

X-ecuter 1.0, MS Dash with Live Beta installed. No other mods except probable still have a renamed dash or 2 unsused on the C: drive. No games or other HD hacks.
All was fine till sometime last weekend (Discovered problem on evening of 11/11/2002, USA EST).
Even system live settings menu with no disk installed won't connect...ie...XBox Live Not Found.
Tried IP Address change...no-go.
Kicker is...I was one of the saps that honored a MS request on the beta forums to leave your xbox connected to live after playing for network tuning! This may explain why some can still connect....cause MS can only find you when your not playing????
Open to suggestions to test...but don't have equipment to try eeprom serial change. I do have switch in hand to install when I get home.
Cheers

Server from M$ could match mac addresse and IP and buffer them.. or It could be your Router that do that... So If you change the box but still use same ip it could do some conection problem...
Do a arc comand to see what ip is assigne to mac addresse..
arc -a in command line will show you all of your ip/mac address..
to release them all from your router wait 10-15 min ( to be safe) or do a arc command.. arc -d I think...

but i am still able to play motogp on the starter disk & fever onine but i can't play anything on the beta disk or wacked on the starter disk because they sais that it can't connect to xbox live.
This is when I load the evox 2.5 bios with the openxbox:
Everything doesn't work
I don't know what to think.
Hopefully it just a server problem (that is probably why i am getting a "xbox live not found" error even on the originla bios but i don't understand why some games will still work, but not all--& when i load the evox 2.5 bios, no games work)

Before bitching, read the User Agreement. You cannot access the XBL servers with a modded system.
Anyway, here is the deal.
It is some kind of HDD detection. We have tried 3 systems. All modded with same TSOP flash.
1) Xbox Live not detected. 120GB HDD.
2) Xbox Live not detected. 120GB HDD.
3) NO PROBLEMS ON XBOX LIVE! Original HDD.
So beware, when you get on and get denied, and restore your system to stock or whatnot, you are still shitbricked. Looks like they are killing serials server-side.
This party is over.

NONE of this proves anything.
I have 5 (count em) Xboxes hooked up right now, 2 "virgin" Xboxes with accounts that have never been used on a modded system.
The other three with two other "beta" accounts that have.
NONE are working as of NOV 13 4:00am EST, no have been for the last 3 hours.
This thru two different ISP's (we've even tried keeping the Virgin boxes off ISP accounts that were used for modded ones.)

I don't care if you think they are not...they are...you are in denial.
I have a switch on my mod.
With evo 2.5 written to mod:
Mod on = live doesn't work.
Mod off = live works.
And with original MS BIOS written to mod:
Mod on = live works.
Mod off = live works.
If you don't belive me try it.
Which implies to me that MS are doing a CRC to the BIOS. This is probably done in various places in the live code. I would place a bet that a CRC is also done on the live code too!
Personally, I had no intention of using pirate games on live anyway. I suspect that this "problem" will take the scene some time to resolve, and as soon as they do, a MS live "fix" will be unsuspectingly rolled out via an automatic update! It's a lost battle already.
Face it guys, live = legal copies required.

The RETAIL Disks point the XBLive software to the "new" servers.
But guess what, it will not "activate" until the 15th.
Until then we are sucking wind.
When MOD CHIP detection is ever implemented, you WILL see the server connection working. I'm using the same beta software that I got day one several months ago for XBLive and it doesn't connect.
There has never been any MOD CHIP issues with this older software. Now it suddenly cannot connect AT ALL!
Remember: for something to be downloaded (to prevent mod chips) a connection MUST be established long enough for an update or software xfer to occur.
This is simply NOT happening at the moment. The servers (at the old addresses) are not responding AT ALL.
Post by: bornonce on November 14, 2002, 05:03:00 AM
This is significant, because the Beta software of Motogp and Whacked! expires at the launch date, and the NEW demos must be used. Guess what! The new demos may also have modchip detection and REJECTION built into them. Trying to use the new demos on a modded box may not work. It may require you to disable the modchip. And it may do a periodic and random background check on the BIOS so that if you switch it on after the game has started it will cause the game to hang later. This has been verified by some who could connect through the dashboard but who couldn't play either the new Whacked! or motogp demos. On an unmodded XBox the new Motogp demo works fine.
And this form of protection could be used in all future games. Unlike, a PC, the XBox has some rather sophistocated encryption/decryption buit into the hardware, so the executables are digitally signed and cannot be easily modified unless you know the encryption/decryption key. This means that EVERY new game would have to be individually modified to remove the BIOS check code. On the PC, this is a piece of cake; on the XBox it may be nearly impossible.
The modchip would still allow homebrew software, Linux, modified HDDs, etc. but it would NOT allow playing games from the HDD, or from backup DVD's because the games wouldn't work with a modchip. If this is what MS is doing, piracy on the XBox is just about dead.

There could certainly have been code to detect modchips in the beta versions sent by MS. Every time you played a game it may have sent the crc info of your bios or perhaps some other flag to MS which they were ignoring until 2 days ago. There is no need for a software download to enable something which may have been existing already. This seems even more likely given the fact that NFL 2k3 was still working for many people. It was not one of the demos sent out, and was released much much earlier. It probably had no code to check for chips.
It is also pretty hard to dispute the fact that on the same xbox, people can't connect with modchip enabled, but can when they disable it. My friends xbox works the exact same way. We toggled it like 5 times on separate days and every time the chip was enabled, we could not log in to live, but once we disabled it, it worked like a charm. It's hard to believe that it could be caused by server issues so repeatably on different days.
Yes the servers are unstable right now and for the past couple of days. That has definately been confusing the issue, but it does seem likely that they are detecting modchips. It's no big deal. Just need to disable it.
What is most interesting is the fact that some people cannot connect even when they disable it. That is the only real mystery here. Perhaps that is just server issues.

There's a lot of us that still can't connect with the mod chip disabled/removed. Personally, I even tried using the original HD with just the original files and couldn't connect using the dash utility. What worries me is the serial number it shows during the connection test. I have a feeling some of us may be blacklisted and changing the SN with a patch won't work because they keep track of the valid, shipped SNs.

Post by: bornonce on November 14, 2002, 09:18:00 AM
This is all just speculation, of course, but you have to remember that MS has been dealing with security and encryption at DOD levels for over 10 years in the very unsecure open PC server and Internet world. The XBox environment is much easier to secure because it is relatively closed.

Lucas,
There would be no need to blacklist you. Even if you have a modded xbox you could not use either xbox live or any new game because they wouldn't work with the modchip enabled. MS might have used the last few days to get an idea of how many modded boxes are using the service. They have said in interviews that "Yes, they can detect modchips". They also said they haven't made a decision on whether to ban modchip users. If all of the new games won't work with a modchip enabled, they don't have to.

1. They are outright blocking some accounts until tonight/tomorrow to counter the influx of early retail users.
2. They are checking SOMETHING on our modded boxes that is raising a flag. Something on the HD, bios, whatever.
The person that has 5 (count em) and can't get on with any, may fall under number 1. (Can't remember if he said he loaded the retail early).
Most of us fall under number 2.
As for the people that have non switchable mod chips, 120GB HD's and can STILL get on? I'm at a loss... there are some out there yes?
So all the different evidence that is coming in can (most of the time) be explained by one of these issues.

"That Person" was opjose. I'm still planning to worry when he tells me to. That being said.
I think that you're right about the 2 different issues - some people blocked no matter what, but definitely a mod issue as well. How are the few with similar setups (like xbob with his 2 modded machines, one works and one doesn't) - still a mystery that needs some sorting out.

If MS ever trys to detect anything I think in my opinion it would be hdd. They would detect to see if its locked or maybe look at the C:\ partition and see if what files are on it. Any unknown files MS didn't intend to be on there they don't let you connect. Or maybe they just check how we boot, hence booting to yboxdash.xbe or a modified xboxdash.xbe wouldn't work. Or maybe they'll do all three resorting us to boot from CDRW everytime. But I don't think they will and if they do I think it will be awhile from now.
But honestly I don't think MS will try anything and besides why would MS update their servers with something about detecting mod chips when they haven't even tested on the XBLive beta?
I stand by opjose.

If you go to the XBox Live groups, you don't hear ANYONE complaining about not connecting. The people who are complaining are the ones that are modchip users.
That should be all the proof you need, but then again...crazier things have happened, and maybe it's just rollout problems...but I've pretty much accepted that they are doing something about the chipped machines, and I suggest everyone else does the same.

That alone says something to me - it's like a 'standard' patch day with anything MS related, a mess

Sorry to all those who gave their testimonials, but right now, the only people I trust are the mods and admins on these boards.

(although I can imagine it)
Now all we need is to start talking about class-action lawsuits and then we will have a real forum discussion!

You hit the nail on the head. ANYONE at this point making sweeping statements that they claim are true, is more than likely wrong at this point. It is still too early to tell on any of this.
Keep an open mind guys.

I'm stuck at the Live setup screen with the 4 points (IP, whatever, DNS and then Live connection)
Everything is good until the last step of connection which gives me a big red X. So in other words I cannot even connect to Live to see if any games will reject me.
If this setup is not properly set, no games will connect, so here is where I'm stumped.

That same procedure didn't work for me yesterday, but I'll try it again tonight.

From reading all the post, it seems like as long as you have your original HD and disable your chip, you should be able to connect to XBL.
I am a beta tester as well but I have not gone online since Saturday night due to school work, not connectivity problem. I will install a switch tonight for my Enigmah and hopefully when I get my final disk tomorrow, I should be able to go online.

How did you get the retail disc to work? I recieved my retail disc in the mail today. Been in beta since first wave. Played fine. Popped the retail disc in and NOTHING happened. I know I still have the Beta XBL Dashboard but nothing is prompting the disc to update. What is SUPPOSED to happen? Is it automatic? do I have to wait? |
Nothing happenes....it dosn't update...I tested by recoping over my old c drive then trying to update...still won;t connect

I just hope that everyone who cannot connect is on a temporary ban until 12am PST Nov. 15th because they used the starter disk too early---& we will all be able to connect tomorrow.
