Title: Unban Your 8955 Console.
Post by: k0mpresd on November 08, 2009, 07:58:00 PM
[edit XanTium: more info about this hack: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=696317 ]

what you need:

your 8955 live console + cpu key
a 2nd unbanned console
nandpro b + flash cable
xell loader
degraded
1888 fs
robinsod's flashtool

process:

use nandpro and dump nand from unbanned console.
flash xell and use jtag hack to obtain cpu key.
use flashtool to extract file system.

dump nand from 8955 console.
use flashtool to patch nand dump with kv.bin from unbanned console.
save patched file (patched_kv.bin).

open degraded + 1888 fs.
create 1888 downgrader image (downgrader.bin) from your patched_kv.bin file.

flash downgrader.bin  to 8955 console.
attach hdd + ethernet cable and boot console.

connect to live and update to 8955 dashboard.

console is now fully working and unbanned!

Omg this is amazing, what does 8955 Console mean? And also can you post a site where you can buy all the necessary tools for unbanning a console  biggrin.gif

Post by: majinsoftware on November 08, 2009, 08:50:00 PM
All the tools are free,
a 8955 console means you have played on live and have the update.

The only way to get the cpukey is to have run xell.
Only way to run xell is if you dash version is below 8XXXX you can find this in the system info of the xbox.
Or if you played on live in the last 3 months your out of luck. Also all the new wave 4 games have the update that will disable xell from working so your out of luck there aswell.

Unless you backedup your cpukey from in the past.

You think there will be a way to run Xell if the dash version is above 8XXXX in the future?
Also this question wasn't answered

Yes, for 30 seconds or less, then you will be banned again. (I think)

So if u have your unbanned cpukey (from xbox: a) from before summer 09 update, then shouldn't (after u get banned on xbox: a) b able to reflash the xbox with the old cpukey? Or does it automatically reban u as soon as u log back into XBL?

contents of the keyvault are banned. not the cpu key. that is why you patch orig.bin from 8955 console with kv from unbanned console.

k0mpresd: but who has the updated console and doesnt has the cpukey, isn't possible, because to use the jtag hack(need to catch the cpukey) your dashboard need to be in a version earlier of the 849x.. Do you know how to resolve it?

Sorry for my ignorance but I have a banned console, and i also have a console that has the old software on but that has an E73 error - would i still be able to link this up and retrieve the information i need from it so that i can use that on the banned one or would the pc not recognise it due to the error?

Heres a tricky question.  Lets say you have a banned 360 and a whole pile of RROD boards kicking around, can the following be done.  (lets assume the RROD boards have been sitting around for at least 2 years obviously with no updates).

 If i was to either read the nand off a rrod board or remove the nand and cpu is it possible to do the following to get the box  unbanned... (i am not worried about resoldering them, thats no big deal for me)

 option 1.  get a read from the Nand of the RROD board, overwrite that bin file to the Nand of the banned 360 and then replace the CPU of the banned box with the RROD CPU, do the jtag hack to get the cpukey, DVD key and then put original fw back onto the correct dvd etc..

 Or...


 option 2.  remove nand from RROD board and resolder to banned 360 and then replace the CPU from banned box with the RROD CPU, do the jtag hack to get the cpukey, DVD key and thenput original fw back onto the correct dvd etc..

 Any thoughts, it seems to me this should satisfy the checks in order to get it back online again ? (assuming of course the RROD console wasn't banned to start with, that would be my luck LOL:)

both would work. the point is to get a matching nand/cpukey + unbanned keyvault. however you can accomplish that will get you back online.

 K, heres my status.  I read the Nand perfectly on the RROD 360.  I have removed the CPU (from RROD box), and for the hell of it i attempted to read the Nand again after i cleaned up all the solder blobs left on the motherboard...  I was able to read the Nand again, and got an identical comparison to the read i done initially. Next step now is to remove the GPU from the banned 360, do the swap, reprogram the Nand and see what happens, but that is for tomorrow.
 At least the Nand doesnt have to be desoldered from the RROD board so that is a plus

edit... i did practice on the RROD board with my Solder Balls and CPU mask overlay and it took a couple of attempts but i was able to get the solder balls on all the pads.  I know it should be on the CPU itself but the pads on the mobo look more solid.

Post by: AllSewnUp on November 12, 2009, 02:21:00 AM
This does work!!!

I tested it today just to see if it would.  Not really that difficult either....thanks for the heads up.

I don't play burnt games online because any game good enough to play online is worth buying to me, but it is still useful information.  Stuff like this can only lead to more and more advances in the future.

I personally bought a banned console for like $30 a few years back and just play burnt games on it from time to time to see if I like them.  If I do I tend to buy them for my non-modded console.

This really is pretty easy....the problem is for some reason opening a gaming console intimidates people.  They don't think of it as just a PC so it scares them.  And soldering!....oh no. LOL.

Everyone is all worried about the recent bannings and think that Microsoft has finally fixed the problem permanently.  I don't see that at all, in fact, I see the opposite.  I say within the year the xbox 360 is fully hacked and you have xbmc360 with endless rom's and still have the ability to play burnt games online relatively worry free.  Maybe I'm optimistic, but this about a 360 that actually has good media center capabilites, free games, endless rom's (including xbox 1 rom's), plus natal and all that jazz.  Sounds cool to me.

The main deterrent is the relentless updates, but as I understand it there is only a limited about of update fuses the xbox 360 has....so what happens when they are all used?  I am sure Microsoft will still be able to update, but the nand will remain the same after that in all future updates.  Then we have something concrete and permanent to work with hopefully.

Post by: kipper2k on November 12, 2009, 08:37:00 PM
if you know the dvd key of the rrod 360 then you dont care about getting the cpu key (although that would be a nice bonus).  Once you transfer the new cpu and nand bin file all you need to do is put in the original dvd with original bin file that belonged to the RROD 360 (or same model dvd rom with orig bin file)

 I would really like to find a zif socket or equivalent socket for the cpu so i could put it on one of my Free 60 machines.

i have a question.

banned console A
not banned console B

unbanned console A using KV of console B.
then if console A will be got re-ban, this meaning console B get ban too? because of using same KV both of these.

Back to the dual online scenario.

So Both box A and B can/cannot be online at the same time?

The 30sec comment means that someone has to be logged in with a difference greater then 30 seconds?

Or you have under 30 seconds to wtf get off?

Well if you read some of the posts, you would realize that RRoD 360s may be used and there are a lot of situations were this is applicable.

Pretty sure the OP wasn't posting a fix all / end all solution.
Just rather sharing with us something they figured out.

EDIT: Have you done any testing on Falcon/Opus/Jasper boards? You did say that you had been holding on to your key since 2007, which leads me to believe you are using a Xenon, and this method won't work for all consoles.
QUOTE

I have two old xenons with NXE (7371) that I can do anything I want with their keyvaults.
Both were made *before* the KK exploit was released and NAND modification tools were made public.  By what I noticed, Falcon has extra obfuscation and layout was modified to make sure that flash tool would no longer work.

OK. I've got an interesting situation here. Hear me out and tell me if this will work. I've got two Xbox 360's with THE SAME SERIAL number. Both are the same revision Falcon motherboard and they both have the same serial number in the dashboard. One is pre-summer 09 dashboard (7xxx, and obviously unbanned), the other is 8955 and banned. I don't have the CPU key of either console.

My question is, can I use the CPU key from the 7xxx Xbox 360 to unban my 8955 banned console or is the CPU key unique to each Xbox 360, regardless of serial number?

Yes, on any motherboard that you can properly edit the keyvault on post-NXE (Read: none past Falcon without heavy modification [Source]), you can patch the region/OSIG to your hearts content. However it might be easier to simply read the OSIG in 360 Flash Tool, and spoof your mismatched drives accordingly.

do you mean because they hash check the keyvault now after nxe so as soon as you update above nxe you get red lights with newer consoles

if this is the case i agree it does need to be added before people start trying it on newer consoles

No, it's hardware-based. Xenons can do what OP described. Newer mainboards cannot. Check the very top of the first post for a link to a an x-s news posting.

Apart from being illegal that's also immoral, and against the rules of this forum, imagine some little kid buying that console only to find out it's a banned one.

IF YOU ADMIT TO RETURN FRAUD
If you returned your banned console to Walmart or some game store or otherwise offloaded your console to someone who didn't know it was banned/broken/modified/etc you will not only be banned but will we likely contact law enforcement in your area and report you. Yes, we can get that information, it's not difficult to do and we have done it before.

I wonder how many people will get excited only to realise its impossible for them to do?

Just wondering, is there ANY chance of a console hack coming out for the summer 09 dashboard? Since my console is banned and I am now using a second console I might as well use it for hacks.

Yeah why would they put it back on the shelf and sell it to someone else. If they do that then that's their own fault. If an item is defective it is sent back to the manufacturer or a repair place....more than likely the manufacturer.

I would like to know if this would work in my situtation.

I have:

1. A dead, Hitachi RROD Pre-July 2009 update console which is NOT banned. (It died early this year)
2. A Jasper, Lite-On banned today.

Would I be able to get the key from that old console in order to transfere it to the newer console?

That is incorrect. There are numerous ways to acquire a system that hasn't been updated and many of us have more than one of them on hand. However, something like this probably won't be of any use to you. Above all else, this involves reading and paying attention to detail; two things you've clearly failed at horribly.

Isn't the idea to transfer the key from the unbanned box to the banned box? If so, why wouldn't this fix work in his case? Is the problem that the banned Jasper already has the summer update? I was under the impression that only the box you are pulling the key from needs to be pre-update, not the other way around. Please correct me if I am misunderstood, which I believe I may be.

You need both CPU keys. You need to decrypt the KV from the unbanned xbox with said CPU key, then patch it into the second 360's NAND, which involves re-encrypting it with the second one's CPU key.

The CPU key is inside the actual CPU, so the only way to change keys is by swapping the CPU (and the image on the NAND).

This goes beyond the realm of soldering.  It is more along the lines of reflow/reball, as you may need to do just that to replace a CPU.  If only it had a ZIF slot!

I have to tip my hat to the guy a few posts up about failing to read!  Too much legit info gets buried because people would rather post a question than read to see if it has already been asked or answered.


I hate to sway away from the topic, but I would like to say I am part of a small, but very slowly growing number of people who have accepted the banned fate and moved on to play online with Xlink!  it does suck that there is no voice in MW2, but it beats hearing some annoying 12 year old screaming for joy every time he gets a kill.

It's completely possible to do without swapping the CPUs. The problem is that you needed to retrieve the keys prior to the Summer 09 update.

Ok...I think I'm back to being lost again, but let me ask you something. Wouldn't, for example, an unbanned RRoD box that hasn't been online for around a year be good to get a key from? If so, why wouldn't you be able to use that RRoD box to unban a Jasper? I'm trying to use a very simple example here. I don't really understand where the breakdown would occur if it would not be possible to unban the box in this example.

Jaspers cannot run the 1888 kernel, which is needed in this tutorial.
Aside from that, you would need the banned xbox to power on (with video) long enough to retrieve the CPU key, and you would need to already have the CPU key for the Jasper (to re-encrypt the kv).

Let's say you got the really good idea (not so much) to swap the CPU/NAND from the unbanned xbox to the newly banned xbox. At that point it comes down to compatibility (You cannot use a 90nm CPU from a Xenon on a Jasper) as well as your own skillset. Reflowing/reballing would be extremely difficult, and would cost a lot of money if you don't already have the tools.

There is no solderless solution, since you need to solder LPT points to be able to read/write the NAND on both consoles.

Thank you. Well, this pretty much closes the book for me. I'm just going to buy a new box this time I believe. All I have is a banned Jasper and some old RRoD boxes, so I don't think there is any way for me to pull this off.

1) Did you update to Summer 09 (84xx)?
2) Is it newer than a Xenon?
3) Do you have an unbanned xbox that meets the requirements of 1 & 2?
4) Do you have soldering skills, an understanding of how the filesystem works, and how to boot XeLL?
5) Do you know what a CPU key is?

If you answered yes to 1, and you don't already have your CPU key (which you probably don't), you are fucked.
If you answered yes to 2, you are fucked.
If you answered no to 3, you are fucked.

There is no way to recover from this BAN i've tried.
I was ban 11/13/2009 for being a impatient dumbass and wanted to download modern warfare 2
so i could brag but it was a trap made by Activision that why they push for microsoft to do something
my advise to however underground gamer that this has a modified Xbox  DO NOT DOWNLOAD GAME BEFORE IT COMES OUT even if you just play offline cause that what I did. I waited 2 days after it came out to go on online but i still got banned.

Also I dont know if yu know but microsoft instead banning your account they lock your hdd so that all your games saves are lost so 4 years of gaming data is gone.

I tried to Xplorer to extract and see if I could recover them but Xplorer says the hdd is empty but last week everything was fine.

Also the word from NElson ,the xbl producer, for every big release there are going to place a bait game torrent on the internet for underground gamers to fall for.

This million gamer ban streak was not by accident it was to lure like hungry never see the line on it.
MIcrosoft can monitor our progress as underground gamers through the internet but we have no way to
phatem whats coming for those who plan to remod their xboxs cause microsoft really has done little
to prevent us when they could come done on us with criminal charges.

Hi,

       I am new here. I was reading about this MS banning campain. I just want to say that it is obvious that it is pure marketing movement. MS want to increase sales before christmas. They think after getting banned we will come back to game shop to get new console. Why would we do it. Personally I was using Xbox 360 becouse it is possible to flash it. Now I will get PS3. Almost same price, WiFi built in, no need to buy aditional accesories such us bettery, charger or anything. Which is more important no need to pay for playing online. Better graphics, you can install any hd and they will not ban you for that.
Microsoft want to play with us, lets play ...
Guys if you got banned don't buy new Xbox 360, get PS3. Maby it will make them think !

I am going to bay brand new PS3 today

The last is banned and have 8955 update.

The question is can I make a working nand  dump from RROD boxes to banned one, using cpu key from unbanned console?

I just can't understand - what is cpu key doing? Why this key is so important and why people just can't make nand dump using other key and just flash it on banned console.

LoL I feel you Xoxide. I have been following discussions like this since the first bannings started, and I wish I had backed up my nand stuff before I updated, but at the time there was no hack for the 512mb nand jaspers... oh well. I got an xbox under the bed that had an old hitachi i burned out that i lost the dvd drive key to (back in the days when our flashing "tools" was a paperclip as a jumper), and another RRoD box. Match made in heaven? we'll see.  Actually, I saw some back and forth on it, but I really didn't see a definitive answer.  Can you or can you not read the nand off a RRoD box?

Unless both of you already have your CPU key from the banned xbox, you are fucked. If you don't understand what I mean by that, you are definitely fucked.

I'll hold my hands up now and say that I don't follow all the nitty-gritty of what's being described here, but I do get the gist of it.

But isn't it immaterial ? Cos as soon as you take your now unbanned XBox back on line, won't M$ use the same method they used before to detect your updated firmware or mod-chip and immediately ban you again ?

Or do I have the wrong end of the stick (again) ?

Ok so lets say I have a few old Xenon's that are RROD junk boxes and I have nand dumps and the cpu keys for them.
I also have a Jasper with the nand dump and cpu key for it.
Can I take the KV and patch it to the jasper somehow ?

I have read conflicting information on this because of falcon and up having a key vault hash check or something.

i believe so. the hash check is for the keyvault itself. you cant edit the keyvault internally. but i would assume you can patch a whole new vault and be ok. since the vault itself is not edited.

someone correct me please if im wrong.

No you can't. You heard correctly.

If it was the other way around then,
patch a Xenon with a KV from a Falcon or Jasper?
As I understand it, this would be possible, but the question is:

Would the Xenon be detected (because of the cross motherboard type KV patch) and XBL banned pretty soon anyway?

Are you serious? Did you read something about xell, jtag or summerupdate? Nothing will work for you. You cannot get your cpu key and there is no way to downgrade.

incorrect,  tons of people are playing mw2 with jtagged xbox's and they are lasting for days without being banned, and i'm talking 8-10 hours a day playing.

even running MODDED games.

having modded firmware on your dvd drive is what insta bans you, they are a bit slower on jtags

I  bought an unbanned keyvault from somebody and they only included the rawkv.bin

Did I get scammed?

From what I have read, I need the full dump and cpu key also.

i have a PAL xbox360 that recently got banned, i believe for putting MW2 backup in my machine using a bootdisk/activation disk first.
never played it, just put it in.. offline mind you.. it isn't even in my recent games etc.. but yeah. banned.

that or my console was banned just now when i tried to play an original xbox game i backed up for my 360.
i backed up starwars battlefront 2, and the xbox read it correctly, but as i needed the backwards compatitble update i tried to sign into live and it said i was banned sad.gif


so first question, could it have been either of those? or is it definitely the MW2 backup that got me banned.


but my main question is, aswell as my PAL360, i have an old NTSC-J 360 that has never been modded at all, nor played for a long time.
from what i gather here, that console could be my key to getting my PAL360 that is modded, unbanned....

is this correct?
and then, would i just avoid playing MW2 on my PAL360 until i get newer firmware to avoid a ban.



Regards,
Aaron.

Ok so I have a 360 that is banned, I have the nand, and the cpu key. And I THINK I have an unbanned KV. Is that all I need? Everytime I try to import the key into the nand I get a 'Invalid size' error.

Also, is it legal to buy KVs and if so then where would I be able to buy one?

Thanks in advance,
Annihilator

quick question the people who sell unbanned key vaults, how do you know that they get rid of the keys after, so they dont sell the same keys to more than one person, because of if 2 log on xbl with the same keys another ban on the way.

 

Also does anyone know if xboxs with the 3 r.l.o.d. can have they're nands extracted still even if they wont boot but stay powered on.  Just thinking because there's a load of them on ebay, might be able get a cheap bargin if you can do it that way.

I was wondering if the KV has to be from the same type of Motherboard as the banned console or if it could be off any kind.

I have more than 20 keyvalts dumped of XENOX and ZEPHIR boards !
Today i try to insert KEYVALT type 2 on my FALCOn and get 2 Green and 2 Red lights flashing!

I confirm THIIS ONLY WORK´S on XENON !

Zephir and falcom and jasper have hash protection inside CPU !

My test:

1921 CB (zephir) keyvalt moded and dash 4232 and 4248 BOOT FINE:

1921 CB (zephir) keyvalt moded and dash 4552 WONT BOOT !!!!!!!!!

The dash 4552 verifiq new has inside CPU or other !

I belive the new hash is inside of CPU ..

XENON boards LOADS any DASH with keyvalt MODED.. ZEPHIR not!

I have done half-a-dozen dumps from Xenons and Zephyrs with 3RROD's.  I'd guess if the board has standby power to know if you press the power button, it would have power to read the nand.  Maybe someone with more knowledge can offer some inout, but I have had no problem doing this.

My question before I even attempt to unban is; Once it's unbanned, can't it be banned again whenever MS decides to do another round of banning. Since I only use silver (which is all I had when I was banned) for downloading DLC, I'm not sure it's worth it for. There is some cool single player add-ons I would like get though.

2 questions:

- Does it work with jasper boards with 9199 dashboards?

- Changing the cpu key from the banned console also changes the dvd key, rigth? So I'll have to change the drive key too.
