Microsoft is not seeing the firmware as many of you think. They just basically know who is using backups and who is not. The method? No one really knows and no one is going to risk their job for nothing. The new update is not just an update obviously.

There will be firmware that comes out that will supposedly be undetectable, but just a matter of time before MS will ban you for that-especially if you have been banned before.

Yes I know, the LT (lite touch). But if I buy a new xbox and flash it with that fw and create a new gamer profile, I don't think the risk of being banned is higher just because I have been banned before.

Here are the NPD numbers for U.S. console hardware sales in Oct 2009:
* Wii: 506,900
* Nintendo DS: 457,600
* PlayStation 3: 320,600
* Xbox 360: 249,700
* PSP: 174,600
* PlayStation 2: 117,800
I see why MS decided to do something this drastic to increase the sales of their console. After this mass banning, it will be interesting to see if 360 sales increase next month or if the PS3 will dominate due to angry (banned) 360 owners.

Date of flash: April 2009
Flash powered by connectivity kit or xbox: xbox
ABGX verification: Level 3 all the time
Played pre-release games: No
How games were acquired: Rips/Torrents
Test/spare unit thats always offline. Plugged it online for the first time today to check for ban and was banned. No game was in the drive. This leads me to believe that 1) I was flagged days ago (but I survived wave 3 bannning)or 2)FW is detectable.

i have 100% survived the ban wave as my xbox is offline and will stay disconnected forever... i will install any dash updates by usb thumbdrive...
i may even go to the radical step of squirting superglue into the network port so as no one will ever accidently connect a net cable..
THEREFOR I HAVE SURVIVED AND MY CONSOLE WILL NEVER BE INFORMED IT IS BANNED !

....aye, i agree. well this post has a good run. I sent enough info to the scene. To my findings though...people that have stealth patched correctly (as well as flash) has in fact been banned. Some people who flashed and stealth patched other people's boxes (ie: girlfriends, children, etc) have random banning. This leads me to believe that its (for now) random bannings but eventually they are TRYING to get everyone in due time. I hope thats not the case. I haven't flashed my drive (unflashable liteon) but I want to help out the scene.
To me at this point, it may be something M$ is doing to check flashes OR a new stealth check that we don't know about. I wonder what c4eva plays (if he does) on those 360's he has that are not banned. If he doesn't really play much with them then that leads me to believe that its a new stealth check. If ANYONE has the opportunity, ask c4eva what games have he been playing lately and if it is original back ups... this may solve our case.

Banned: no
Drive type: Ms25
Firmware: 1.6 Ixtreme
Date of flash: April 09 (Somewhere around here)
Flash procedure: Used xbox to power the drive to flash.
Way of acquiring of games: Torrents
Activate.iso and wave 4: no
verification: ABGX w/ auto fix 3
Installed games to hdd: no
Played games early: no
Games played online: Few, mainly COD4.
Before I ever went on live, I flashed my drive w/ Xtreme not Ixtreme, 5.2 firmware, and would play my games for a bit from there, I even played some games from Xtreme 5.2 online w/o a problem and w/o getting banned. After I felt that I want to play wave 3 games, I upgraded to 1.6 and started playing all my games that are stealth patched. Good luck to all, Btw, I doubt they can read your drive, otherwise I would have been banned anytime now since i've been playing online on COD4 during this entire banwave, I have yet to touch any new games that have been released and I tend to stick to 1 game at a time until I play around 1-2 hours of it. Good luck to all, sorry to hear you guys getting banned. (My Suggestion: Burn your own discs, verify them yourself, stealth patch them yourself, and never, ever play a game early regardless if you are offline (unless you don't care about live then by all means ignore this suggestion).)
Edit 11/15/09: Banned as of today, I really could care less about live though as well as installing games to the hd. So yea, Good luck all. =)

I stand corrected, I have been banned. Not that I actually give a rat's ass about it, I only used my testing month on live and downloaded some demos and divX codec. The ban didn't disable the divX codec by the way.
And also it didn't come unexpected. Time for an unstealth firmware.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Im sick of your BS, i heard it several times now. Since you yourself said no one knows how they ban people YOU DONT KNOW its not firmware...idiot
In light of c4eva's posting of this new UNDETECTABLE litetouch it is safe to make the connection that the other firmware's were indeed detectable otherwise he wouldn't of made the statement the new one is undetectable. I have burned games,played them early, done everything everyone else has. I am NOT banned, why? I have not installed the new updates from live that are able to detect the firmware. I know im not banned yet because my warranty is still intact on xbox.com. So i would daresay this, coupled with playing games early and bad iso downloads with improper use of abgx is the reasoning.
I also might not be banned since i download all my own games and don't use abgx :)

I'm wondering for those who got banned did you purchase anything from Live i.e. games,movies,add-ons etc. The biggest occurring theme I've noticed from people who said they were banned was the abgx that and people who used torrents. Sadly my box was stolen from me so I can't tell you but I'll check in with a friend to see if any of the boxes I did for him got banned.

John_Donn...you will be banned..you are not safe either..dont get cocky dude..I did and I got banned and I rip all my own games also.
Mark my words man you will be banned...As for the updates that supposedly contained the detection methods...how did you avoid not downloading those? They were mandatory to go on live...
