Obviously MS had logged his MODDED HD serial and Banned him today (he had been playing on live for a while w/o problem).
He did not change his EEPROM when he put in his stock drive (who would have known).
So making the HD serial the same as the Original drive would not be useful, just to change the serial period should allow you to use the same drive.

If it is done it would probably only be for a select number of drives. If at all.
I'm saying. Don't hold your breath.

I know what you are thinking but it would be usefull because someone that was banned could just get a new eeprom and change the serial number to anything.(ofcorse not the original which would already be banned)
Otherwise one would have to get a new eeprom and buy a new harddrive, am I correct.
P.S. I could be missing out on somthing here, it seems like there finding new stuff every minute.

for the stupid people like me, what does this mean for people that replace eeproms, and use original unmodified stock 8 gig hd. Will it still work?

If you do BOTH you should be ok.
MS will see a "new" Xbox. Even if MS starts taking HD model #s you should be ok with a stock drive.
I however, if MS starts getting model #s I will be banninated
Just change the EERPOM too. My friend un-modded his box. Chip off, HD replaced for stock = BAN.
MS had his old HD serial linked to his EEPROM

but, if people are formatting their original drive with slayers, and then getting banned, could explain their bans. since formatting the stock drive would not change the manufacturers serial/id, but it would change the volume id.
just a thought for those that are far smarter than i am.

only way to test this is if people with stock drives and no harddware changes are getting banned, and if they aren't committing human error (signing on with mod chip on)
after doing more research, i'm not sure they are checking the volume id. i believe its the manufacturers serial, as that is what shows up in the eeprom.
but could still be a theory for those getting banned with a stock drive, no harddware changes, and modchip off.

. The point of this 'exploit' is to let modders who had their hdd and eeprom logged is to let them change their hdd without having to get kicked off live.... This is entirely a model/serial # fake on the hdd firmware... dont see wat the super duper wooper cooper (ok i'll stop too) config magic has to do with this 
Post by: LyfsUXKuNT on November 11, 2004, 05:45:00 PM
you might be able to use config magic to change serial and/or model #'s. i can't check it out now because config magic isn't on my hdd. it's on the slayer's disk but i don't feel like transferring it over. too busy putting anime, rvb, and pr0n on it. i'll look into it tomorrow.

| How about this: 2 hard drives, one for evoxdash (or whatever you guys use) and the other the original untouched hard drive. Have a 4 connector IDE cable connected to them and put a switch on the power cables, so when you want to use XBLive, you use the original hard drive and when you want to use your evoxdash, use your custom hard drive. Could this work? unsure.gif |
if your talking on a box that hasn't touched live yet, probably. next issue is if they are doing a check on the lpc. so far that theory isnt popular. so i'd just say you "should" be.

| what M$ is doing isnt really illegal. If you read your user agreement it says you are buying a lease to your xbox, so you dont actually own the xbox you payed for, M$ does, they are just letting you use it. lol. |
Regardless of whether M$ own my xbox or not I know that here in the UK I have the rights to privacy of my private information, I'm pretty sure that this would include most information stored on an xbox hardrive.
I have not given M$ the right to scan to see what games I own etc. so by scanning the hard disk for all files indiscriminately I would have a pretty stong case for legal action, I believe in the UK only the appropriate law authority (police etc.) could scan my drive IF they had good evidence I was commiting a criminal act (a huge grey area as far as modding is concerned).
