my info:
running ms28 with 5.2 before and after spring update.
flashed to new 5.3a before any crackdown/halo3 updates.
updated crackdown and d/lded Halo 3 no problems. as of 5 mins ago not banned and still playing on xbox live
note:xbox dropped and i had to get a refurbed hd and i recovered my gameertag on new and got all crackdown halo updates etc and still can play on xbox live dont think that has anything to do with it though.all backups work and play 100%

they probablly know also because some of us were playing some of the games way before they came out....1 example Lost Planet..you have to have a modded 360 to play games released in other regions...or i'm just paranoid....

You have a point, but:
you couldn't play a game from another region if it isn't regionfree, so they wouldn't ban you for that reason - those games are regionfree for a reason. Another scenario is that some shops sell new games a few days or even a week earlier. (than the official launchday)

Same with a friend that I flashed before he ever went on Live, but it's seems to be a combo of things. I know he likes mainly sports and military shooters an he's on Live right now. We're both in Georgia. I'm banned though.

Me & my brother both have MS28 drives, located also in Georgia, both banned. I have crackdown, he doesn't. In fact, he's MAYBE played on live for 2 hours or so and only against me. Since real games have a video partician on layer 0 and layer 1 while xtreme stealth backups only have it on layer 0 is how they can tell you're running a backup. They've been collecting data for a while, I only know this because a guy who NEVER signed onto Live but to ONLY update his console after each season update got banned.

so there should just be more video padding on the games right? that could fix everything.

Could be, which could also be why c4e is going to release a new FW for unmodded 360's and un-banned ones. It'll probably support this layer1 video partician.
So in theory, all games would have to be re-ripped this way and all programs would have to be updated. This is just my opinion from what I see going on right now. Of course, nothing is official and no one is really talking because we all know Microsoft trolls these forums, xbox-scene and xboxhacker

come to think of it even if you dont have the cable plugged in they can still ban your console. they have your serial number recorded so all they have to do is hit that button and your gone. guess everyone will be handled either way. if your already flashed your gone now. no turning back.

I don't suppose anyone knows if this will also void your warranty? I'm not concerned at all about losing xbox live.....i'm going to use xlink from now on.....but if there is the chance that it voids your warranty.......it defeats the purpose of me paying the extra $30 for my 2 year extended warranty. Also is there a way to be able to turn live off so you don't connect to it when you turn your xbox on, but also be able to connect to the internet to use xlink?
Does that make sense?
I don't have an internet connection at home at the moment cos i am moving but plan to reconnect it when we move.....so officially i havent been banned yet.....but i'm sure it will happen once i plug it back in.

Good theory, but I modded my brother's 360 the minute he got it. He's only played me on LIVE (FNR3) and today, he was banned. MS28 with xtreme 5.2a
Quote:
Alright, but he didn't have the jitter protection.
Doesn't matter, they're banning people period. I've modded many peoples drives and they're ALL banned. Jitter-protection or not.
One guy I modded his 0078Fk with xtreme 1.7 and he never updated to the spring update, banned as well..
Another has a MS28 that I modded the DAY the new FW came out, Banned as well. He only had the console on live for 2 days.
There is no pattern. They just plain flat out KNOW.
the person who didn't update with the spring update how did this person get banned because if he didn't update then he didn't go on live because he will have to update to do so AND he got banned?

same thoughts here. but i think 360 has better fps. i want to quit like that but everyone else is stupid to ditch more money to M$ by buying an elite for the excuse that they were banned. so in the end the modders lose more money since they end up buying 2 of the same consoles and then original games for live!

you just made your self look like a fool. its your fault your banned. you payed someone to do it, or even worse you modded your xbox console your self. this is what you agreed to when you made an xbox live account and i am quoting this straight from the xbox.com site for the xbox live terms of use.

Im just glad i was able to recieve the spring update for HD viewing!!!!!! as long as i can play my backups and my HD movies im glad!!!!
Kudos to MS and Bill Gates for getting some fricking balls!
We needed this, its just a lesson to hackers! theres always reprecusions!!!

Well I don't think it was related to firmware just randomised, As me and my four friends purchased console pre-modded last december and we often play GoW online, But on 18th I was the only who banned and all of my friends are not banned yet.

It totally amazes me when people get banned and say: 'F*CK YOU MS!!! I'm buying PS3 instead! not gonna "waste" more money on Bill - let's boycot them!' somebody explain me the logic behind that.
IMO it's just pathetic, it's not like they bricked your machine, you can still play your backup games fine (and you should be grateful they don't actually ban your account alltogether). Something you can't do on a PS3. I also wonder how many games those people spent/wasted on Xbox360. A console and Live subscription? A few DL-disks?
PS3 means $599 and buying original games. Yeah, PS3 gaming is SO much cheaper ;(
