The point is that he can connect to xbl with a previously banned xbox

Thinking about it, this topic too doesn't make sense. If he never did have Xbox Live, why was he banned then?

| you go into the M$ dashboard, Xbox Live, Network Setup, Advanced, Connect, and it says Xbox Live Found. |
Nope, it doesn't say that at all.
It will say "Connected to Xbox Live".
And, you are avoiding my question which furthers me questioning you. If you were previously banned from Live, how come you tell us you don't have Live?
Your story seems a little out of whack.

and here are two pictures that prove my point: (sorry for hte utter crapiness of these pics, that's what i get w/ a free web camera from kensington before they stopped making them)
this is the live saying it's connected on my tv:
and if this helps here is proof my mod is still on. that's the green you see emitting from that little LED on the xodus mod.

| this confused the heck outta me as i used to always be banned from live!. but recently, i reflashed my xodus' bios w/ the xecuter 4973 bios, changed it w/ the err and colormod modifications, and put it on my xbox. teh xodus is on always on mode (mode 2). I also wrote my eeprom w/ pixel8's or whoever it was's blank serial eeprom. the one that changes your serial and HDkey to all 0's. then for the heck of it since i got fever 2003, i did the update dash (my evox was evoxdash.xbe, so it worked) and went to signup. it actually connected! and i never turned off the mod. my XYZ code is: X: 0000-F001 Y: 00A8-4860 Z: 8015-1917 now i thought cuz of my Y code that i should be banned. can anyone clue me in as to why i'm not banned? thanx. well while i wait i'll see waht i can do |
There is one thing I don't understand.
The "BLANK" serial EEPROM invalidates the encrypted headers and throws the entire video system out of kilter.
The end result is that the Xbox hardware doesn't know how to initialize the video anymore since the blank EEPROM has no inherent video information in it.
When you flash with the blank serial EEPROM your Xbox should no longer boot until you reflash say a Matrix, with the Compex debug bios.
You say that using the blank EEPROM fixed your banned Xbox problem.
But this is contradictory. With a blank EEPROM your Xbox would not have booted.
So something is missing to this albeit interesting story.
Could you elaborate.

| but it appears there is a small checksum in the eeprom, so if you were to just HEX EDIT values, LIVE would show no serial number and a randomly generated MAC address. |
dunno if my live is generating a random mac or if the checksum was set to teh right thing so it owuld use a blank one. i'll post the blank eeprom if it isn't against the rules, since it contains no sensitive data such as a real serial or HDKey.
