Is there a way to restore to factory settings so I can install games to hard drive again. After ban it will not allow this feature anymore. Also I think you must trigger something in your xbox and when the update is done that is when it happens. So it could be something from months ago just my 2 cents.

To those who have had their accounts banned. Was your console banned as well? Were you playing games before release? Had you a gold membership or silver? How many games have you played with your account? How much DLC have you purchased with your account? How long ago did you pay the yearly subscription if you have a gold membership?
Just trying to see if there is any reason why Microsoft ban some people's accounts and other people's consoles. It could just be random but I think they will do what is most profitable for them to do. For example, they might wait until a modder renews his annual subscription before banning him or maybe they won't ban gold members at all. They also might not ban profiles that have played a lot of games because they know the owner might be more likely to move over to the PS3 if they do.

Hey everyone sorry to everyone who got banned that really sucks. Anyway i modded a lot of my friends xbox's and none got banned. All have 1.51 ixtreme with a wide array of disk drives (lite-on, sammy, benq, and even a hitachi or two.) As for the games the most up to date game i burned was forza 3 so i'm thinking it could have been borderlands or a wave 4 game. Hope this helps and hopefully no one gets banned today. Good luck everyone.

Seems to me like that ones who were banned were not necessarily those who played wave 4, but those who took the attitude of, "I can't get banned because I unhook my ethernet cord when I play backups!" Go figure.

Quick question how many of you are not banned and have played the new gta with the boot disc first. I'm not having any problems at all yet but I'm wondering if maybe I should hold off on using that boot disc and just wait till the fw for my drive comes out. Probably would be a case of to little to late but who knows. What u guys think

The boot disc has nothing to do with it.

If your banned what happens when you sign onto xbox live online? Do you get a message saying that you were banned or is it like it usually is? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm at work and can't check my xbox. I can sign on to live from my work computer and it doesn't seem like there is a problem. Checked my box before I left this morning and everything was A-Okay. I just would like to check frequently here at the office.

This has been talked about already. They actually show a message and someone posted pics of their screen.
It basically says terms agreement violation. its around 2 sentences. No code errors or anything in that nature. Very straight forward.

First of all im not banned, but i have a benq spoofed as a liteon, I traded my old box which was already modded(toshiba/samung 1.6) to a guy for a unmodded elite box, because I wanted the HDMI. I first modded it back in May I think, and I was new to the whole flashing scene, so stupidly I played a few games early without getting banned. I found out now that the guys box is banned and I know he hasnt played any games early because im the source for his games. Ive had the Elite for over 2 months and ive played every game thats come out nearly, but never early and only when it verifies, so I may be wrong but I think M$ may be going back and checking from much earlier dates, and thats why they are swooping in the way they are now with some being banned and others not. PPL think back try to remember wut u played and when, and did it verify.

Playing online last night till about 9PM EST (That was Oct 30) and was not banned. Didn't hear about this till a co-worker messaged me today about an article on IGN regarding this. I have played Forza 3 early so I am probably at high risk for it. Are they still banning consoles today or is the wave over? Reading over the internet, nobody really has a clue how they know the consoles have been modded. My theory is the last update with WPA2 and to restrict unauthorized data storage (memory cards from Datel for example). Could there have been something in this update that they could read what firmware you have on your DVD drive? I'm sure there was to be a way of them being able to do that and maybe this update has. I could be wrong, very wrong, but just a guess. I will check tonight if my console has been banned, if it has, no biggie cause I could care less for XBL. I work all day and come home and play some forza and a few songs on rockband and time for bed. I have no time to go on and play with other people. If I am banned, I can play games early with no worries.

Speaking of dumb, have you ever read the suspension section of the official Xbox forums? It's always good for a laugh, for example: -

This guy should be banned from reproducing. I can't believe he has a kid. I hope this kid doesn't seek help from his dad for grammar and spelling. You need a license to catch a fish, but any bum on the street can have a kid.
