XBOX BANNED

ok i have had mods on my xbox for a long time, but today for some reason i cnt get on live.

i was on live for awhile thn i signed out.

i signed on and it couldnt connect. under trouble shootin it said i cant connect because my xbox has modified, hardware/content.

my modchip was shut off and i thought it was supposed to be undetectable shut off. what couldve happened

 

Were you Modding on Halo 2?

 

ya i did but i dont see how tht would get me a ban from signing on with my xbox

 

xbox live dectects the mods on halo 2 even if you turned of softmod or what ever mod you have

 

yea even if you turn your mod off XBL will detect your halo 2 mods and ban you.....

 

no im not banned, my xbox is banned. i can sign on my xbox 360 with the same account and ittl be fine. but if i try siginin on with me xbox itll say cannot sign on cuz i have [bold]HARDWARE[/bold] MODS


it says nothing at all about modded maps. i deleted thm i still cant get on. my friend has had mods for months tht i gave him and he can still sign on perfectly, just not play matchmaking.

i cant even sign on my god damn xbox.


so dont say tht the mods banned my account because like i said, my xbox 360 uses the same account and it works fine.

ive deleted them ods too and it still doesnt work.


all i really wanna kno is if they just like ip banned my xbox or sometin


or is there a way to unban myself at least

 

they banned your xbox eeprom.....you will have to get a new unbanned eeprom to go onlive....

 

is tht possible?

i need an new eeprom.bin thing?

 

yea from another xbox....that means a freind that dont go onlive will have to give you theres...

 

Doesn't he need a new hard drive too.. I'm pretty sure they ban your eeprom and your hard drive serial. So if you only get a new eeprom and go on xbox live, the new eeprom will get banned too. I think that's how it is..

 

Ah, the marriage theory, correct?

In truth, only the EEPROM is banned. However, it's also true that the EEPROM and hard drive serial are married. The Xbox Live account itself is never banned.

Meaning, if you play on XBL using the stock hard drive and upgrade afterwards, you'll be banned. The reason? The serial numbers don't match. However, keep in mind that EEPROM and serial aren't listed on XBL from the get go. Only after you sign up and play. So if you upgrade the hard drive before you ever use that EEPROM on Xbox Live, you'll be fine.

Additionally, if your EEPROM is banned, your serial number isn't. So like theridges said, you can just get a new EEPROM and be fine. Problem, unless you know what you're doing this is a very easy way to ruin a soft modded Xbox. Not much of an with a hard modded one, since most issues can be resolved as long as you keep back-ups of all your vital information.

 

Yeah I was talking about the marriage theory. Couldn't remember the name of it . My bad I thought you needed to replace the hard drive too xD.

 

Venom5880-wow ur like pro at after dawn..lol

 

Nah, I just know a lot of general information.

The only reason I know about the marriage theory is because way back when I used to play Mechassault and PSO on XBL, I had planned on swapping EEPROMs with a buddy since mine got banned. I ended up not doing it because shortly afterwards I found out many of my game saves are actually tied to the EEPROM, and by switching it I would have to replay all of them.

 

like i said dude pro!!..i see u help like hundreds of people a day

 

and i learned something new today i have never heard of that....i know people that had gotten banned and just changed there eeprom and were up and running the next day i know because i let them have a couple of eeproms i had on my computer from past xbox's but i didnt know u would need a new HD aswell.......thanks for the info venom

 

Actually, you don't have to replace the hard drive, only the EEPROM. Simply changing the EEPROM should work fine.

The point I was trying to get at was that if you swap hard drives and try to use an EEPROM that has already been used on XBL with a different hard drive, that EEPROM will be banned since the hard drive serial numbers don't match. Hence, the marriage theory.

 

Yes, Which makes total Sense.

 

?????????????????????????????????????DRUGS..lol

 

but um if i get a new eeprom from a working fine new or softmodded xbox, wont i have to like flash it again. cuz i was looking through my xbox and i saw that for the chip to work i had to flash the eeprom thing i think. and if i make a copy of one, can i just keep usin tht same one when i get banned?
