Ok guys, lets try to figure out if this virus has stopped spreading. If you get banned TODAY ONLY FRIDAY. please keep us informed, if you got banned but it was the other day, please dont post we already know a lot of people got banned, and I dont think we are going to figure out what triggered it.

allstars call of duty was stealth but when it verified the data portion of the game came out bad on both abgx and XDVDMulleter remember when i say this but the reason people are getting banned is because of stealth games that arent real backups. being stealth doesnt mean anything except it has the pfi, dmi, and ss that are correct. the game data can still be corrupt.

here is an idea. What if these releases we are seeing that we suspect is the cause for the banning were really embedded with something from MS. earlier someone posted a quote from xs where a guy said he had a reliable source at MS saying there was going to be firmware detection built into the NXE when it comes out. so what if these releases have been testing their detection method. You know kind of like a beta test on their new ban hammer lol. just a thought, they would need to test somehting like that i would think before a huge roll out to insure that the wrong ppl dont get hit.

unless i have a different allstars release and im not gonna be childish and talk trash but here is my check info showing bad data because i thought it was good at first when it didnt verify and stealth passed then i checked a day later and the data was corrupt.
Checking Game

SS Media ID: 36B8BC5BEE2837ABA5B2D1A1-17723718 (matches game)

I agree, and along the lines of this too, let us know that you have indeed signed on live earlier this week, and it's not a case of you just getting banned today because you didn't sign in monday-thursday

I wonder which rip of the game (Call of Duty 5) caused it?
I saw x360int just released it to the scene like 2 days ago or so, and had a picture linking to an actual retail copy of the game that they used. It checks out stealth wise, so I would want to assume that that version works. I know there was one version leaked (of COD 5) that had a bad SS. So I'm guessing that was it...

Im banking that it is, its the first one I grabbed, but never burned a copy cause ive been too busy with fall out (which I now re downloaded again) im having too much fun with tom Clancy endwar. After reviewing all the boards and complaints , it would seem review and bad ss/crc etc are the issues, meaning its the games. I hope c4eva can get a 1.5ixtreme to procted against THOSE issues.

i have the bad version of cod5 and i ran it thru muleter and it applied a fix, so is this now a good version? im kind of confused on the fixing thing. do we really need to run 2-3 fixing programs for the same game or does mulleter work alone just fine?

For Those Who Have Not Been Banned but fear it.
Try Exploring which regions/Time Zones as well as the Country The Xbox is registered in.

WTF?
raise your hand with a comment like that.
R/F games are REGION FREE, can play anywhere, u should not get banned, I was in the millitary and had MANY R/F games living in japan and eurasia.
You can change your PST to lets say CHINEASE time, as example people trying to halo 3 boost playing in weaker countries (real weak imo) but thats irrelavent.

Ok people my first post, ive been following this thread quite a bit to get some closure but the cause of the bans still remains somewhat inconclusive (for me anyway).
Not sure what drive i have as a friend flashed it for me...i know it had iXtreme 1.4 and all games were stealth checked. Banned last night, oh well thats the consequence when you take the risk, wasnt like I didnt know.
Played Fallout 3, Gow 2, Saints Row 2 and Cod:WoW all prior to release but never online until after release. Still had the achievements from offline though and did login to play my originals online.
What im wondering, is if I get a new 360 and recover my gamertag, will the new unmodded 360 get banned, due to the fact the achievements are showing prior to the games actual release date? I know its a console ban, but when I look under the Xbox live status it says "yourAccount has been banned for blah blah".
Please help as i dont want to lose my gamertag, and dont realy want to shell out for a new 360 and have that banned.
Any help appreciated, sorry for the essay.

I think we have proven the case that the problem is select games. We should work to isolate with certanty which ones are the problems. I have scanned several of my iso's and ones that fail seem the database check are the same ones that people seem to be complaining about getting banned while using: Fable2, Saints Row2, GOW2, (these are the ones I scanned and got a failure on the .ini file against the database)
Are people able to play on xbl with CODWAW? This one checks out fine. It is the AllStar copy. Please speak up if you have been on xbl with this iso.

Very True You Seem To Have this completely taken care of. I figured after reading through all of the posts that this forum was about attempting to pinpoint M$'s pattern of xbox live bans. I happened to find it odd though that 4/7 of the people I personally know with modded systems have been banned in the last 48 hours have their systems set to the US. The other 3 have theirs set to Canada and the UK. I know all about IP, & MAC Add Tracing, PAL & NTSC Regions, ect. so I will admit it doesnt make a lot of sense. The fact remains all 7 of these people have the same MOD (no clue what it is) and share/play the same games. Many of the games before the release date.(Like 3 weeks) I'm most interested to see what happens when the New Experience Hits. My Mod Contact seems to think that the chances of being banned from live after the new upgrade are quite high. He doesnt understand the Time Zone thing and quite frankly either do I.

I have 2 consoles. One got banned today and the other is fine. The banned one played Gears 2 and COD5. It is only about a month old. Benq ix1.41. In fact I took a COD5 update on it just before it was banned. The other console is my Japanese console and I pretty much just play Japanese exclusive on it and the occasional single play region free game on it.
I'm in the US btw.

I joined the Banned Wagon this morning. It doesnt matter when you played or what time zone your console is set too. Me and a few friends all played Saints Row 2 and all got banned on different days. That said, it isnt firmware detection but, just putting in a bad copy of a game getting logged in whether or not you actually played it.
codes were
W 0000-000B
X 0000-F001
Y 00A8-6820
Z 8015-190D

I don't think is the firmware because i have hitachi 59 iextreme 1.4 was flashed about 3 weeks ago and played GOW2 before release but was on different accounts never online and only for the first two days cuz I started to get the "unreadable disc" crap so never really played alot of back ups did play dead space and same thing. I just logged on and was fine play acouple of games on GOW 2 retail though and will never play back ups onlive. so I highly doubt it's firmware and from most of the thread out there they are saying the same thing it's the bad iso that atract the banhammer. just my two cents.
oh accounts are only on memeory cards I have no hard drive

I cna see none of u newbies are looking at ABGX
GOW2 has 2 versions that are BAD
if u dont belive me, here u go
1 is jpn the other is region free usa, that had a bad DVD file, there is a possiblity if u bought it, the moron didnt ADJUST THE DVD file, or u downlaoded it and repaired it wrong.
Argue all u want, GOW2 is bad unless you correct it.
