i think Y has C2 and that equals BANNED check other fourms to make sure but i'm pretty sure its banned.
since he purchased it, could it be eeprom from the wrong xbox version??
I read fuzzy's post about it, but the only thing i don't get is the ATAPWD/HDDUNLOCK/LIVE thingy, where is a tutorial for this? OI have the programs, just don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I did the enigmah switch, and it said it was already a NTSC box, which it should be.

Good way to go for if the marriage theory dosent work for you and you can afford to get a new XBOX go ahead 1 for Live and the other for Pimping, Personally i was gonna do that but my XBOX worked and i havent been banned yet.
hey poppeseed tough luck, in the xyz thread you said something about the dvd region being a 1 and now its a 0 or something of the sort, i dont know where but i remember reading about that. personally my box has no region dont really know how that works but, that could be a problem. from what i hear zodiak is one of the most reliable eeprom sellers around, if he did send you the wrong one im sure he'd help you out. try switching the dvd region and if that doesnt work then i would start thinking about buying a new box, but if it happened to me, i would just try and wait till the new xbox came out. hahah and before i figurd out my problem i spent around 3 hours with M$ tech support, and an hour with my isp, hahah my neck hurt like a b*tch. im really sorry i cant give ya the info you need but, just keep looking someone somewhere has had this same problem. I spent about 12 hours looking in forums before i found what cured me. Maybe try switching the mode to pal and then back to ntsc, thats what i did, then see what your codes are. maybe we can go from there, just an idea,
I tried the pal then back to ntsc. Didn't work. Tried changing the dvd zone, didn't work. I just have to find a tutorial for using ATAPassword, HDD Unlock, and Live Info.
my xenium ice chip has an operating system that reads the key and locks and unlocks it correctly but now that i know that all this crap can go wrong i just leave it locked. if it werent for this chip and its incredible noob interface i would be lost and probable banned of there would be smoke coming outta my box. i also have a friend that has the same chip as me and the same version box, he helps me a lot. try finding some one with your chip that really knows what they are talking about maybe they can give ya a hand.
same thing for me, i am fixing live for somebody that got banned. i put a new eeprom on the board using config magic 1.6.
everything went correctly, now however instead of saying that the box is banned. it
cannot connect to live now.
everything boots up righ you can get to the m$ dash, see what your xyz codes are, go to network settings and tell it to connect, then when its done go to the connection status screen, and push y. you can check out the thread that fuzzy posted its got 48 pages of people not being able to connect and what theyve done. i couldnt connect but i found my answer in that thread
I'm so special, they gave me new codes!
Was:
1.00.5971.01
W: 0000-000B
X: 0000-F001
Y: 00C2-03C0
Z: 0000-0000
L: 0ms (0ms) p:0/0
Is now:
1.00.5971.01
W: 0000-000B
X: 0000-F021
Y: 00C2-03E0
Z: 0000-0000
L: 0ms (0ms) p:0/0
right on ya, right now im looking through fuzzy's post to see if i can find any matching ones, probably not but who knows.
I looked, and didn't find an exact match, and there wasn't a solution for the closest I found
have you tried the enigmah video switcher since youve updated? i read in another thread that a guy switched to pal then got on live then changed it back and it worked but im not sure how really
No, I haven't tried it since I've updated it. I just updated today, and haven't had a chance.
well when you get the chance try it i dont think it will work but that is the easiest fix and its worth a try.

damn sorry bud, like it was said before is it in anyway possible that you have the wrong version of an eeprom. not really sure how to check other than buy just knowing from the seller.everything should work new hdd, new eeprom, your gonna need a new gamertag but first you need to get on live. im stumped, and your also sure that your hdd was formatted and copied correctly when you changed it? and try logging in on pal its risky but it might work. some how a guy in another thread got it to work ill see if i can find it again.
I'm having the same problem.
The new EEPROM and virgin HD I bought worked fine, but it was in German when I booted things up, so I'm pretty sure it's a PAL>NTSC problem. How do I fix this? New EEPROM?
i think if you use the enigmah pal-ntsc video switcher and change it to ntsc see hwat that does. it rewrites your eeproms i believe, correcly of coarse.

hmmm that does look like a fake serial number, i mena mine has a crap load of different numbers. are you sure that the eeprom was virgin, someone could have tried messing with it before the sold it to ya. hhmmm. what version do you have.
and just to make sure just try using the enigmah switcher if it was incorrectly switched be this could be your problem, ive also read that configure magic, in a few cases has incorrectly unlocked a hdd and that messes with the eeprom and can give you the c2 error.
and poppeseed the thread is here http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=374674
