Okay today I purchased a "pre-modded" Xbox 360 (Jasper) [Modchip] , and I heard that once I go on XBL my console will get banned. I searched around the forum and found iXtreme LT firmware can prevent banning. So my question is: " Do I really have to flash my DvD drive to prevent XBL banning, or can go on XBL with genuine games/ 1:1 backups? "
I'm sure this question has been answered many times but it would be much obliged once more :)
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."
You won't be banned with a globe modchip online if you don't use a globe modchip online. No firmware is safe but LT is certainly the safest. Don't go online with your console or you will likely be banned in the next wave. You're better off buying a cheap second hand console for online play and use it for originals. If you play mostly online, then having a modded console isn't worth it. Though imo, most games are better offline. I use LT firmware and have no problems online as of yet. Though I could well be hit in the next ban wave.
