Can Xbox Live be hacked to allow backups to work? Don't count on it. MS owns and runs Xbox Live. To put things very short, if were figure out how to beat MS's protection against modchips on Live, MS will just change the system and stop that method from happening too. We can't beat MS on this level. |
I agree with you but couldn't we emulate the
xbox live servers just like pvpgn emulates
blizzard's battle.net. This would seem to me
to be a very interesting project, do you know
if anybody is working on this?

You need to install a switch on to your Matrix, unless you want to continously open the XBox and change the dip switches.
External switch for Matrix:

It means that, if your banned, putting in another HD will not unban you since the EEPROM is on the motherboard.

Only if the EEPROM was the same on all the Xboxes.. that is a way, but it's not the best way.

No.. you can not randomly create an EEPROM. It has to match the one MS has.

I got banned from LIVE due to AutoSign on Counterstrike. I'm a big boy. I can take my punishment.
But if they really only ban your "XBOX" via your EEPROM, could I just call M$ Support and ask them to transfer the remaining balance on my LIVE subscription over to my friend's unmodded box?
Thanks.

Version 4.0
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY BACKUPS (DVD/HD) ON XBOX LIVE. IN DOING SO, YOUR XBOX WILL BE BANNED FROM XBOX LIVE BECAUSE THE MODCHIP WAS ON. EVEN ORIGINALS WILL RESULT IN A BAN IF THE MODCHIP IS ON AND YOU ARE ON LIVE.

Ok, so you got your Xbox modded and want to play the top games on Xbox Live. But, you heard that you can't play a modded Xbox on Live. What should you do? Well, here is your answer.
Playing on Live 2.0 with a modded Xbox
I made this the first question because it's very important. You can still play on Xbox Live 2.0 with your modchip off, but regarding playing your modded Xbox, do not access the MS dash with the modchip on. As, Live will connect automatically and with your modchip on, you will be banned. I recommend taking out the link to the MS dash in EvolutionX too.
(Other Q/A's about Live 2.0)
How to play on Xbox Live with a non-flashable modded Xbox
The most important thing to know is that your MS dash must be named xboxdash.xbe. When you first run Xbox Live, it will update that file with the new MS dash with the Live tab. So, you may ask "What about EvolutionX?" Well, sorry guys, but you will have to run EvolutionX off a CD.
So now that you know that your MS dash has to be xboxdash.xbe, you will have to install a switch on your modchip. The switch will disable it, or enable the modchip.
The most important thing when playing on Live with a modded Xbox is that you must always have the modchip off when playing on Live. Turn your modchip off, and then power on Xbox. It is always best to have the modchip off, even when you are installing Live for the first time.
Now, if you want to play backups, turn your modchip on and power on Xbox. You can boot your EvolutionX CD and load your backups off the HD, or you can boot your backup CDs. However, you must make sure you DO NOT access any Live-oriented tabs within the game. DO NOT select "Download Content", "Play Live", etc. tabs in a game. When doing so, your Xbox will connect to Live, and MS will detect a modified BIOS, and you will then soon be banned.
How to play on Xbox Live with a flashable modded Xbox
So, you have the best field of modchips out there, so you have better options. The first thing you want to do is flash your modchip with a BIOS that boots a file another than xboxdash.xbe. For example, flash with a BIOS that will load evoxdash.xbe first. You can store your EvolutionX dash on your HD, and have it be evoxdash.xbe. But, be sure you keep your MS dash as xboxdash.xbe. That file will be updated when you first install Live and having the MS dash as xboxdash.xbe will make it a good update.
For those of you with the Matrix, you will set your Matrix in mode 3. How mode 3 works is, your flashed BIOS will load when the XBox is powered on. This means the modchip is on, and you can check that by looking inside the Xbox at the modchip and it will have a green LED. But, for those who want a nice, put together Xbox, I recommend getting a BIOS that is a colormod. So, when your Xbox boots, your Xbox logo will be blue for example meaning the modchip is on.
MATRIX MODCHIP USERS - DO NOT USE THE NEW X2 4977 BIOS. WHEN YOU HIT THE EJECT BUTTON TO BOOT WITH THE MODCHIP OFF, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT REBOOT. USE THE X2 4976.02 BIOS INSTEAD
So, you are now at your EvolutionX dash or MS dash with the modchip on. You will then run a game (an original or a backup) or even a homebrewed program, and when the game is running, press the big eject button. Your Xbox will reboot and the original BIOS will load. The normal green Xbox logo will show and this means the modchip is off. Also, the modchip will now show the red LED.
As I said above, you must make sure you DO NOT access any Live-oriented tabs within the game when the modchip is on. DO NOT select "Download Content", "Play Live", etc. tabs in a game. When doing so, your Xbox will connect to Live, and MS will detect a modified BIOS, and you will then soon be banned.
How to play on Live with an upgraded HD and/or running an EvolutionX CD
Playing on Live is easy with an upgraded HD. It must always be locked. The original MS BIOS, when the modchip is off, demands a locked HD or else your Xbox won't boot. You may ask if a locked HD is ok to do with the modchip on. Yes, it's okay.
Relating to the xboxdash.xbe file, this must be in the root of C:
As a quick note, if you are in a situation where you must run the EvolutionX CD, you can keep all your EvolutionX files (skins folder, evox.ini, etc) in their usual places on the HD, as you just will need default.xbe (EvolutionX dash) on the CD.
How to get back onto Live if you were banned
So, you made a mistake. Your "little brother" selected a Live tab with the modchip on and now you are banned. Well, you can get back on Live. Xbox Live just bans your Xbox's HD key. Not your gamer account.
To get back onto Live, you MUST obtain an unbanned EEPROM. These are not posted at the usual places, you must get it from a friend who has a modded Xbox and doesn't plan to go on Xbox Live. To update your Xbox's EEPROM with a unbanned EEPROM, download Configmagic and use that program. The program is easy to use and it is all menu driven.
Here are some key notes for using Configmagic
- Your HD has to be unlocked for the update to occur, but relock it when it is done
- If you do get a PAL EEPROM for any reason, here is what you should do:
Go to "on-the-fly" edit command and change the region from "PAL, Region 4" to "NTSC, Region 1". That's it! Now you have a NTSC EEPROM. But, you will have to go to your MS dash and update the clock.
For more information on Configmagic, check out www.team-assembly.com
YOU CAN NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM THERE
How to get your account back if you lost it
If you upgraded your Xbox HD by installing a new HD into your Xbox, you will lose your Xbox Live account. HOWEVER, it is easily to get it back. You have two options:
1) BEFORE you install your new HD, copy your Xbox Live account to a memory unit by using the memory manager in the MS dash. Then, install the new HD, format it for Xbox use. Finally, transfer account back to your Xbox using the memory unit.
2) If you already installed your new HD and didn't do the above option, you can either hook up your old HD and follow option 1, or log into Xbox Live and select "Account Recovery" option. Fill in required fields, and you will get your account back.
The reason your Xbox Live account does not carry over from a backup of E: is that your account is hard-coded into the FatX table of your Xbox HD.
Can Xbox Live be hacked to allow backups to work?
Don't count on it. MS owns and runs Xbox Live. To put things very short, if were figure out how to beat MS's protection against modchips on Live, MS will just change the system and stop that method from happening too. We can't beat MS on this level.
What if I access Live with my network cable unplugged?
After recent testing by myself, accessing Live with the modchip on and the network unplugged, WILL NOT result in a ban. Since the Xbox has no information to send to MS, MS won't know your modded Xbox tried to access Live with the modchip on.
Final Notes
These are just some quick tips again
- DO NOT select any Live-oriented tabs within a game or on the MS dash when then modchip is on.
- Your HD has to be locked to play on Xbox Live.
- You can use the MS dash all you want with the modchip on, just DO NOT select the Xbox Live tab.
- You can use an upgraded HD with Xbox Live. Live does not ban upgraded HD users.
- Some new Xboxes already have the Live selection on the MS dashboard. No worries, you can still install your modchip just fine.
- ONLY original games work on Xbox Live, backups do not.
- HD swapping with an unbanned Xbox does not work.
- Loading a backup, and then turning modchip off while the backup is running will not be safe for Live, as the modified BIOS has already been loaded.
- Once your EEPROM is banned, its banned. Even the backup of it.
- PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME FOR ANY PROGRAMS OR FILES.
Rumors
- There has been some instances of people accidently connecting to Live with the modchip on, and not being banned. Again, I must highly stress that I would take this as a grain of salt. Just be careful with accessing the Live tabs. In other words, don't!

I got banned recently (i have since fixed that ;) ), but I was banned right after I went Live and I installed the skins folder, the bios folder, evox.ini, and evoxdash.xbe on my hard drive. Mod chip was definitely disabled, I triple check that everytime. Only thing I can think of is that a few days before that I tried going Live and my modchip was on. So I don't know if it just took a while to get banned and me installing evox dash was a coincedence or what.
BTW, with this being a sticky I don't think there will be any posts in this area anymore. Seem like you answered every question I keep seeing asked in here :rolleyes:

Now i read in one thread which i cant find now, that you said you can change the region by using the on-the-fly edit, but im not sure what to do here?
My current region is 4, not sure what the one is that im replacing it with tho, can you pls tell me what i need to do?

You can't use the old banned eeprom, you need to get a new one, even if you backed up the eeprom before it was banned.

MS bans your Xbox by your EEPROM. Once that EEPROM is banned, it is banned. The one you have saved as a backup is banned as well. You have to get a brand new one.

He wants to know if two people can use the same eeprom. I believe this is possible, but I know that they cannot both sign on to the same game. At one point you could do this without getting banned, but I don't know if M$ has done anything about this.

I really haven't made much of an effort to follow up with it. But, I will say you are risking quite a bit because if you or your friend screws up with going online with the modchip on, both of you will be banned.

While running the backup I inadvertantly hit "sign into xbox live", and was then banned. So I got a new eeprom from a friend, and deleted everything I could find related to what I had done. It worked for 2 days, then I was banned again. Got another eeprom, again worked for a couple days, then banned again. I think with the new Xbox's (Halo Green) there is some hidden file somewhere on the harddrive that can tell if a modded bios has ever been run. No matter what I do I always get banned again. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a new xbox if I ever want to get on live again. |
It seems to be that MS are banning both your eeprom AND your hard drive (ie recording your HD serial number). So if you just change the eeprom, you will be banned again because of the HD - from reading through all the threads recently, it seems you will now need to change both the eeprom and install a new HD (still just a theory at this stage, but seems plausible).

when you want to play live. Because the modchip has to be disabeld.
Are there tutorials how to install a switch for your modchip.

You shouldn't have any access to files on the HD if you have an unmodded Xbox so you've just confirmed to Tech Support that you have a modded box!

| ok a relative noob at this so heres the story got an executer V1 installed,(with a on/off swithc) installed Evox thanks to slayer and his auto installer in a V1.x with upgraded HDD now trying to run eeprom management to lock the HDD but the screen just says loading and stays there. does this mean the hdd is already locked or that it cant be locked??? when i patch c for live it basically loses the evox screens and allows me to boot with modchip off would this be ok for xbox live? as i can alternate between my upgraded hdd and the retail hdd no problem. |
I suggest using Configmagic or even your PC for un/locking your HD. I myself have never heard of EEPROM Management.
The reason you lose your EvolutionX screens when you update your MS dash with Live is because xboxdash.xbe was before your EvolutionX dash, and since the Live CD updates files, it looks for xboxdash.xbe and updates it, thus overwriting your EvolutionX dash
As my tutorial says, I recommend using EvolutionX off a CDRW if you have an unflashable modchip, like yourself

| Shanafan thank you so much for this invaluable tutorial I was a beta tester for live and then when it went public i was banned. I was pissed off and followed the news for the way around it for a while and then got discouraged. I finally decided tonite to trudge through the message boards to see how exactly it was done. I was figuring it would be immensly painful and then i saw "New Tutorials" in the main page news. And there was your trusty little tutorial. I'm gonna get a friends unbanned eeprom in the next few days and try it out. My main question right now is if you both use the same eeprom and go online at the same time, can u access the same game at the same time? Just wondering if you knew anything on the topic. Once again thanks for making an easy to read tutorial, much love Mekapo |
I echo Mekapo's statements, and am pretty much in the same boat. I too was a beta tester, and was banned. How ever, because I'm such a newb, instead of swapping Eeproms, My nephew got an Xbox for christmas, and is never going online. So I figured I'd trade systems with him, and get his virgin Xbox modded with a switch so that I could use my Xbox live. My question to you now, is what's the best chip to go with in regards to ease of use and external switch? I initially thought Matrix, but hearing about the X2Pro in this thread has given me second thoughts. I don't have any huge hardrives or other bios in my Xbox, but would like to leave that possibility open in the future.
Thanks for any input, and thanks again for making this Faq.
Post by: shanafan on February 12, 2003, 10:34:00 AM
The Matrix is the best modchip out there for Live because (IMO):
1) Switches are already built onto the modchip
2) Mode 3!
3) Very easy to install the modchip
With the 1 meg add-on coming out soon, the Matrix (again, IMO) will be the best modchip out there.
X2 has pogo pins coming out to allow you to install without soldering, but right now, they are not available. X2 also doesn't feature onboard switches like the Matrix

Signed, Ignorance |
If you do not have broadband access to your Xbox, then you will be safe. The modchip detecting software is accessed remotely by your Xbox
Not having Live is totally fine. Your Xbox will work flawlessly but you just won't be able to go online to Live with it.

Instead of transferring all my emulators and roms off the hard disk, I want to keep them on and access them via an Evox CD. From what I understand, Live doesn't do any hard disk searching so I should be safe right? Any advice appreciated. |
The ONLY way right now to be banned is using your modchip activated when playing on Live. Live does not search your HD or DVDROM for any information related to emulators, backups, or whatever

No, you need a new EEPROM from an unbanned Xbox. You can not just change the information (MAC/SERIAL/Etc.) in the EEPROM, either. Those info are checked against the XBox Live Key in the EEPROM.

I have a few questions regarding a Matrix chip and Xbox live:
|
1. Yes the game not only has to be on DVD, it has to be the original game. How could you play off the HDD or with a copy of the game if you can't have the modchip on while playing on live?
2. Yes, the HDD has to be locked. You cannot go on live with a modchip on therefore you need to lock the drive so you can access the real xbox dashboard. If your HDD is unlocked and you have the modchip turned off, you will not be able to do anything.

It will allow you to play live with the mod chip disabled for one. Locking the drive makes the xbox think its an 8 gig drive.
And, yes you will be able to transfer files the same way you can now. Obviously you need the mod enabled to do this.

Locked or unlocked, you will still have 100% access to your HD when your modchip is on.
Download Configmagic to lock your HD. It is the best and easiest way.

I have a a Xecuter 2lite installed with an on and off switch. Installed evolutionX as my dashboard. I took all the necessary precautions.. ie backingup c and e drive of my Xbox. I had LIVE installed b4 I got my Xbox modded.
When I installed evolution i renamed the default.xbe from evolution to xboxdash.xbe. I then copied over the original xboxdash.xbe and renamed it msxboxdash.xbe. I configured the evox.ini file to boot with the original xbox dash by putting this line in ... MSDashBoard = "c:msxboxdash.xbe" if the mod chip is off. Everything is working fine.
My question is, how do I safely get on LIVE without being banned? I read somewhere here in the forum that i need to rename the original dash back to xboxdash.xbe. Will i now need to boot with evolution to play my backups? Isnt there an easier way to set this up without haveing to keep renaming files and booting from disc.

No, not at all. That means your network isn't properly set up. If you get "Xbox Live not found", then that means you are banned. But, it seems like your Xbox isn't hooked up properly to your network

by the way, does it matter if the MAC id is uppercase or lower case? on my pc,
it's uppercase but when i go to the website with my ports, etc. it's lowercase.

First, you need an unbanned EEPROM. Do a backup in EvolutionX on the unbanned Xbox, and in the backup folder of the C drive, will be EEPROM.BIN. Take that file and transfer it your PC. No work has to be done on the unbanned Xbox after this.

Config Magic lets you change the Serial number, Mac, region, Online Key, HDD Key, DVD Kit zone.
What in this EEPROM is used by XBox live to identify your xbox?
Is it the serial number? Does MS have a database of valid Serial numbers, or are the serial numbers in some sort of way that only some are "valid" like a Windows serial number?
If it's not any of these things, then what is it?

Mode 3 disables the modchip when the reset button is pressed when a game or homebrewed software is running.
To put the Matrix in mode 3, put dipswitch 1 off, 2 on

| Okay I have a question. Config Magic lets you change the Serial number, Mac, region, Online Key, HDD Key, DVD Kit zone. What in this EEPROM is used by XBox live to identify your xbox? Is it the serial number? Does MS have a database of valid Serial numbers, or are the serial numbers in some sort of way that only some are "valid" like a Windows serial number? If it's not any of these things, then what is it? |
MS identifies your Xbox by the combination of HD key, serial number, and MAC

What obvious parts? If you want to get back on Live, the parts along with serial number have to be the unbanned numbers.

No because your Xbox will boot the modified BIOS all the time. If you have not tried to use Live yet, do a onboard flash of the original BIOS
Modchips in France? I have no idea, expect the Internet. Sorry

I got banned because I started to play a game on my HDD and it automatically connected to Live. I saw what it was doing but couldn't get to the Xbox fast enough to turn it off and prevent the connection. I was banned immeadiately.
I read all the forums that I could find on modding, and using Live with a modded Xbox, before I modded mine and never saw a post saying that it would be best to disconnect your Xbox from the internet BEFORE playing a game on your HDD.
My recommendation is that you disconnect the internet feed from your xbox before EVER playing a game on your HDD to make sure that it is impossible for your modded Xbox to connect to Live without your express desire for it to connect. If I would have just done that, I could still play on Live if I wanted to.
On another note. I phoned the (800) 4my-xbox number and after a long discussion they told me that my Xbox SERIAL number was banned permanately and that my Xbox would never be allowed on their service again. (Anybody want to buy my Live Starter Kit w/Crimson Skies HRTR?)
I hope that this will help some people out.

Just to be sure then, I have a 1.0 Xbox firstly fitted with an XTender Chip... Initially i couldn't change my HD with that MOD so I put a switch on the Xtender and flashed the XBOX TSOP with an evox bios to enable HD SWAP... But now that it's done i could use my 60GB (LOCKED) with my Xtender... is that right ???

Installing a switch disables the modchip so you won't have to open the Xbox to turn it off or on when you want to use Live.
Yes, you of course can't play a backup game when the modchip is switched off. When the modchip is off, the Xbox is in "normal" state.
As of right, buying the Xbox Live Starter Kit gives you a full year of gaming. No word yet what happens after that year.

Mitsu50:
I'd be curious to know if you figure out how it happened too... I have a similar setup (Xecutor mod and switch, 120 GB locked HD.) When I go Live I turn off the mod chip and plug in the network cable, when I want to play backups and homebrews I turn the mod chip on and unplug the network cable. I'd like to know what else I should look out for, cuz it sounds like you do the same yet still got banned.
Thanks for any feedback.
(I read your comments in this thread about Splinter Cell's new downloadable level -- is it possible this had something to do with it... forget to unplug your network cable perhaps? Or did you try to download content with the mod still switched on?)

Well I was chatting with a buddy who got banned too. Here's how it happened to him:
He was using Xbox Media Player, his mod chip was on (obviously) and his network cable was plugged in. He hit the wrong button, got sent to the original Xbox Dashboard. According to him, the Xbox dashboard checks for mod chips, and flags your "mod status" so that the next time you connect to Live, it tattles on you. So he got banned. Simply by being in the Xbox dashboard with the mod chip enabled. He didn't try to connect or initiate any "Live" activity.
I know my current setup only boots to the original Xbox dashboard when the chip is OFF, but there seems to be a few places in EvoX (and my installed homebrews) where it might dump me into the Xbox dashboard. So I tread lightly, as I get to know the terrain better.

Shanafan, please answer my question. I was curious to know why config magic can lock my hard drive with a different password and yet still have it work with my xbox with mod-chip disabled. I used configmagic on a new hard drive that I purchased and had it lock the new drive. I had already prepped the drive with evox and after that I used configmagic to lock it so I could use my xbox w/chip disabled and on Live. All the mac, serials and online keys are the same, just a different locked hard drive pass? Why does this work? Doesn't XBL use the locked key as part of the mod check?
I have previously locked a different hard drive in a different xbox with identical lock codes using hddlock on the pc. This way seemed more secure to me? Is it or am I just worried, mislead or confused?

Yes, bottom line is when swapping HDs between Xboxes, make sure the HD you put in the other Xbox is unlocked. If the HD is locked, then it won't work on the other XBox.
So, unlock the HD, swap it into the other Xbox, and then relock it using that Xbox.
If your modchip and its BIOS supports HD swapping, then you are good to go. Just remember any unlocked HD will work in ANY modded Xbox that supports HD swapping.
Just use Configmagic for your un/locking needs.

I thought my Xbox only accepted the key to my old Hard Drive. My Xbox can now use either hard drive fine. I can switch them back and fourth with no problems. I just don't understand how because they have different keys. I can't just switch my xbox hard drive with another xbox hard drive because of the different keys; right?

Nobody has come up with an eeprom generator yet...? (Wishful thinking)

What if I used an eeprom sold to me, and then the seller sold it twice, would the first to use it be ok - or would we both be busted?

Ok, great topic but I have one question. It's probably already been answered but I don't have the time to read through all 26 pages of this topic. I've already got an Xbox Live account, if I get a Harddrive for my Xbox and "lock" it I can still play right? I heard that you have to get your Xbox live account AFTER you install your hard drive, is that true? Also, one last question. Can all hard drives be "locked"?
Thanks a lot and sorry if these questions have already been answered (which I am sure they have).

This error sometimes occurs when your stock dash is missing some of its parts. You might need to try reinstalling the original dash from a slayer cd. Also playing on live with a nonstock bios running is the easiest way to get banned, if your are running any new bios then your should be fine since all the popular ones are now live blocking. So error
21 has nothing to do with a live ban, but once you get back to the original dash then you can see if you are banned. But is you havent gone on live with your hacked bios running you should be fine.

Are there new ways M$ is banning...what is the new updated requirements before going on live?
My xbox is modded with the X3 chip and the X3 bios programmed not to allow xbox live login when the modchip is on and a 200GB HDD locked with configmagic. EvoX installed with Slayer's 2.7. I went online with Halo 2 from an original disc with the mod off and a week later I get the xbox has been modified error and cannot connect to XBL. Never have I logged on live with the modchip on. My live account is password protected. Please help me understand what happened.
What were the cause of my ban? What can I do to get back on live? Do I really need a new HDD in addition to the unbanned EEPROM? Thanks in advance!

could be couple of things:
1) Halo 2 modding,
2) playing with Modders (brings attention to you)
3) used LIVE with stock HDD, then got on with your 200 GB HDD
YES, you need a NEW HDD and a NEW EEPROM to get back ON.

I played with a friend with an legit original xbox (no mod).

This was a new xbox that never had XBL installed.
Thanks for the help, but I'd really hate to replace my HDD and EEPROM then get banned again.

Its also possible that the gamer feedback caused your account to be flagged. Ms checks for hdd sizes as a check up to stop a lot of modders.
Recently there have been more accounts of this random bannings, Im not sure if there is a new technique they are using, but if it persists we might need some type of investigation on this.

Hey guys, just a few days ago i pulled the trigger on XBL service. I have a legit unmodded Box and a softmodded one with Krayzie's Ndure v.1.1.
I setup the XBL account on the legit unmodded box and was able to play XBL on it fine. I then transferred the account to the modded box via mem card. Cold Booted Halo 2 on there and was able to read the new XBL account.
I keep getting the error message that i have no connection though, Any ideas what's going on? I know for a fact that there is a connection and it works fine through XBMC all the time. I have no idea what it's trying to do in coolboot state. Help me out, thanks.

Great topic. Read many of the pages but not all of them. I have a more specific problem anyway. I just moved to Canada and brought along my European xbox. So far I found out that I can only connect it to my TV if I get it modded so that it sends a NTSC signal to the TV instead of PAL (European standard). According to the tutorial here I have to switch of the Modchip before connecting to live. However, I guess if I turn of the Modchip I also loose the NTSC signal?
Any comments or help on this problem? I really have no clue how to solve this. And I am really not keen on buying a second one

Disabling your chip will not revert your console back to PAL. The changes will stay.

Okay, I was trying to make sense of the help in this thread but I didn't find a direct answer. I currently have a modded XBox with the Xecuter 2 Chip. I can sign on live fine when I boot without the chip on. I read that I would get banned from XBox live if they detect a larger HDD. I read that I need to move some files to "lock" the drive, but I can't find any specific answers. Thanks for the assistance

Cold boot means that you
1. Turn on your Xbox ,Put in an original game(no backups) in the Drive
2. Turn off your xbox
3. Turn the Xbox back on
You have successfully done a cold boot and now can go on Xbox live
so if I go on xbox live on my softmodded xbox with an original game (mainly Halo 3) it should be fine? and there will not be much of a risk of getting banned?

Error 5 means your HD isn't locked. MS BIOS wants a locked HD when the modchip is off.
With the modchip on, games will run no matter if the HD is locked or not.
Have you tried locking the HD with Configmagic?

I just need some pointers cuz i want to get live.
here's my xbox
pal v1.0
xecuter2.1 lite + switch
x2 4977 bios (i know i have to get 4976 back)
evox 3921
120gb hitachi hdd locked.
some games on hdd
original v1.0 ms dash.
so if i want to go live, i have to downgrade to x2 4976.02, turn off the chip and is that it?
whats up with that auto-go-on-live option in live 2.0 i've heard about?
is it anything to be concerned about?

No.. the X2 4976.02 BIOS is for Matrix users, as I said.
For a X2 Lite, use a new BIOS like X2 4977.
About auto sign-in, just disable it in the MS dash. There is a topic about 2.0 pinned in Live.

so apart from the auto sign in option i shouldn't be concerned about goin LIVE right?
also i already have the first version of live installed by someone who installed the x2 lite in my xbox. i bought a new live starter pack, so what should i do?
should i install live again?
thanks.

I got banned. I forgot I had my chip on when I signed on to play ESPN NFL Football, anyways...
I've read this whole thread, well at least most of it, there's 20 pages for God's sake!
Anyways,
I just need some clarification on some things.
1. I have my original 8gb hdd which was not unbanned. Why is it that I cannot use the backup eeprom from that drive? Is the eeprom a hdd and mobo thing?
2. What is the difference from getting an eeprom from my friend who does not go on live?
Thats it, I think.

Question: to save the new region setting what do I have to do?
This is my story.
I got a new eeprom.
It was PAL and I did not use ConfigMagic in the first place because it was not installing the new eeprom, so I used EEPromer.
EEPromer worked but I could not change the region.
So know I got a screen that won't stop jumping. I seek help.
I get help in the form of using the Enigmah video select boot disk.
Thank God for the video select boot disk.
I switch the video to NTSC but now the region is set to 4.
So I go to ConfigMagic like the tut says but it does not work.
Here are the steps I took
1. Run ConfigMagic
2. Unlock HDD
3. On-The-Fly Edit. Change region to 1.
4. Try to lock HDD. Error Msg: "Load Xbox EeProm To Lock HDD"
5. I load XBOX EEProm. Region Changes Back to 4. AAAAARGH!!!!
What do I have to do so it saves the change?
I also tried just using "on the fly edit" without unlocking the drive and nothing.
Someone please help.
Thanks,
Sammy

I used EEPROMER and it messed up my Xbox. It put a maximum security lock on the HD (which I was able to fix). So, I really can't help with EEPROMER because it is such a crappy program, I have no idea how to fix it.
I question why you didn't use Configmagic, but oh well.

yes, you should be worried, if you try and play a game like Rainbow 6 off of your hard drive (with modchip turned on) it immediately goes on to xbox live and banns you without warning.

quick question for xbox that's does not have a xbox live account on it yet. what would happen if the xbox is connected online but without live setup on it and you happened to click on any live access tab? would that result in banning the xbox on live eventhough live is not setup on that particular xbox?

Correct. You connect to Live to make an account, so..
For instance, for Xbox Live 1, the Live animated screen was actually your Xbox connecting to Live. In the next screen, you chose your gamertag or your network setup.

this refers to xbox, not xbox360, if you want to make sure your safe to play h3 on live check in the 360 Live forums

With the modchip on, games will run no matter if the HD is locked or not.
Have you tried locking the HD with Configmagic?

here's my xbox
pal v1.0
xecuter2.1 lite + switch
x2 4977 bios (i know i have to get 4976 back)
evox 3921
120gb hitachi hdd locked.
some games on hdd
original v1.0 ms dash.
so if i want to go live, i have to downgrade to x2 4976.02, turn off the chip and is that it?
whats up with that auto-go-on-live option in live 2.0 i've heard about?
is it anything to be concerned about?

No.. the X2 4976.02 BIOS is for Matrix users, as I said.
For a X2 Lite, use a new BIOS like X2 4977.
About auto sign-in, just disable it in the MS dash. There is a topic about 2.0 pinned in Live.

so apart from the auto sign in option i shouldn't be concerned about goin LIVE right?
also i already have the first version of live installed by someone who installed the x2 lite in my xbox. i bought a new live starter pack, so what should i do?
should i install live again?
thanks.

I got banned. I forgot I had my chip on when I signed on to play ESPN NFL Football, anyways...
I've read this whole thread, well at least most of it, there's 20 pages for God's sake!
Anyways,
I just need some clarification on some things.
1. I have my original 8gb hdd which was not unbanned. Why is it that I cannot use the backup eeprom from that drive? Is the eeprom a hdd and mobo thing?
2. What is the difference from getting an eeprom from my friend who does not go on live?
Thats it, I think.
Thanks in advance.

do i need to reinstall live, even though it is already installed?
or should i just fill in the details?

| Go to "on-the-fly" edit command and change the region from "PAL, Region 4" to "NTSC, Region 1". That's it! Now you have a NTSC EEPROM. But, you will have to go to your MS dash and update the clock. |
Question: to save the new region setting what do I have to do?
This is my story.
I got a new eeprom.
It was PAL and I did not use ConfigMagic in the first place because it was not installing the new eeprom, so I used EEPromer.
EEPromer worked but I could not change the region.
So know I got a screen that won't stop jumping. I seek help.
I get help in the form of using the Enigmah video select boot disk.
Thank God for the video select boot disk.
I switch the video to NTSC but now the region is set to 4.
So I go to ConfigMagic like the tut says but it does not work.
Here are the steps I took
1. Run ConfigMagic
2. Unlock HDD
3. On-The-Fly Edit. Change region to 1.
4. Try to lock HDD. Error Msg: "Load Xbox EeProm To Lock HDD"
5. I load XBOX EEProm. Region Changes Back to 4. AAAAARGH!!!!
What do I have to do so it saves the change?
I also tried just using "on the fly edit" without unlocking the drive and nothing.
Someone please help.
Thanks,
Sammy

I question why you didn't use Configmagic, but oh well.

| yes, you should be worried, if you try and play a game like Rainbow 6 off of your hard drive (with modchip turned on) it immediately goes on to xbox live and banns you without warning. This happend to me. |
Sigh.. no.
Rainbow Six 3 is a Live Aware game. As my pinned thread says, DO NOT use your profile for the game that matches your Xbox Live gamertag.

| Ok, I was able to find out what I was doing wrong. Shanafan you should add the following to your tut on how to edit on the fly. On-The-Fly-Edit: Steps: 1. Unlock HDD 2. Edit on the fly 3. Update Xbox EEPROM (This is the one I didn't know) 4. Lock HDD 5. Exit 6. Set Clock to correct time and date. Hope that helps others out there who come accross the same problem as me. |
Did you see my Configmagic tutorial?

| quick question for xbox that's does not have a xbox live account on it yet. what would happen if the xbox is connected online but without live setup on it and you happened to click on any live access tab? would that result in banning the xbox on live eventhough live is not setup on that particular xbox? |
Correct. You connect to Live to make an account, so..
For instance, for Xbox Live 1, the Live animated screen was actually your Xbox connecting to Live. In the next screen, you chose your gamertag or your network setup.

| so clicking on any live access tab in hd backup game while connected on internet without live setup, the box cannot be banned right? also just want to make sure, in order for ms to ban you from live, you have to have an account setup first correct? |
Just what I said..
