I got banned a week ago on my hitachi with ixtreme 1.51. The most recent games i played was GTA: episodes from liberty city, and COD6 with no hdd or ethernet plugged in. My other xbox hadn't got banned at the time, it has a benQ with 1.6 spoofed as a Sammy in it. Too scared to go online with it now to see whether it has been banned. Looks like it never will go online ever again. Lucky i currently have 5 xboxs atm to use :o)

It has been said that IX is undetectable well maybe MS countered with something similar to IX to counter and detect IX without us knowing and maybe they have a leg up on this but we'll all have to wait until next FW and see what happens.JUst wanted to add my .02.
I think you are on to something, although it might not be the main reason, but you never know. I do know the person who modded my console said you can send it to repair and don't worry they wont ever check your firmware on your drive, but maybe as repairs come in that's something they might check too.
Plus as I said before they are probably on this forum retrieving information on how we mod it and use it against us.
They might even be the people on this forum giving us false information about how they were banned so they can throw us off in making a new FW.
The only real way to know is with the FW, it really needs a lot of testing before being release and not just 1 week.

Anyway im happy now and cant be arsed for all this banning etc. Go get a job all kids out there or steal some money and get two xbox's one for online and one for single player. Why bother for all this hassle everytime and pooing yourself going online online for £160!!
Im out and im just an observer interested in this story.....how the hell did they do it!
Over and out, you win microsoft,well done ;)
i beat ms :)...im keeping 1 xbox that is banned but never officially got banned for single player games and imma swap a broken xbox that i got for 20 for a new one and just play cod mw2 on it....ms dosnt win :)
Same here, M$ didn't win all they did was create a little more work for me. I have 1 for online and 1 for single player. I playe single player about 85% of the time and only 15% is online with H3. I'm better off this way without having to fear of losing anything or features on my console. The only thing they did win out of me was disabling the install feature of games on the HD... I'm actually more pissed about that.

When I was banned, I had my HDD and memory card out. Is it safe to put them back on the banned console? All of my savegames and profile is on the memory card and I have RockBand 2 and the Forza 3 second disc installed, as well as a legit fallout save on my HDD...
Obviously I don't want to screw any of these files up, I have a backup 360 but I'm keeping off of it for now.

hi, I got banned also, a week ago, I will keep the banned box for testing the games off line, download them, verified or unverified - do not give a damn, anyway, I like about 1% games released, and this way, if I find two games a year, I will purchase them and play on my second, unmodified, recently a dirt cheap xbox that I got, and *bleep* 'em.

May have been answered already but this thread is madness.
What is being banned the profile or the xbox. A friend of mine got banned, bought a new xbox and is back online saying he lost nothing but the system. Others are saying that you will lose game saves.
Anyone have a clue?

F**K M$ and don't keep pitching them money for them punishing you!
If you are gonna buy another buy it used or refurbished from gamestop!!
You know jolly well xbox is amazing and the online live service is amazing. If you want to play online buy it legit. Have two. What microsoft are saying is you can play your offline games freely but if you want to participate online buy the game. You cant get fairer. I was going to gut swap then thought sod it ill keep it.

so its ok for them to sell a broken product. they fix it for free to avoid lawsuits and bad press. not because they care because if they did the would have fix it befor they sold them. the fial rate is super high. i have been through 3, my son 2, my bother 3 and lets not about my xbl friends list. every week ther is some one sending out mass msg about how they got the rings. some one on my list has been through 6.what if a resturant made you sick and said its ok i pay your hosptial bill.i know it not that serius. but you get my point dont just let them off the hook
Another idiot, loads of electrical items have faults at first sale, i have just bought a popcorn hour for £300 and its still got beta firmware on it ;)

I've read every page of this thread and here's some info that should help some people.
Ya, this one has been tossed around a bit. Your profile that is on the HD that got banned will be corrupted. It can be deleted using an unmodded xbox and recovered through live. If you put it on the modded xbox again to play some single player and anything is changed on the HD during play it will corrupt it again and you will have to recover again. When you recover your profile it reverts back to the gamerscore of the last time you were logged into xbox live. This is done to keep people from getting achievements on modded 360's then uploading them to live with legit 360's.
People need to stop talking about gut swapping. When you swap, your new serial number is on the case that you return. M$ looks up that SN on live and BAM!! There's you credit card and information for them to go after. It's fraud and definitely prosecutable. I know that modding isn't really on the level but lets stick to the things that don't involve mailing M$ solid evidence of the crime.
For the people who are thinking that M$ flagged everyone months ago and is banning everyone based on that data, what about the people who bought new 360's after getting banned (not yet knowing how severe it was), modded their new system, then got banned immediately when they logged into live? I'm sure your profile's flagged as well, but it seems a little harsh for them to get banned immediately. I think M$ has to have some way of reading FW or something very similar. Of course, that's all assuming that the people who posted that information weren't dirty informants sent to rile up false theories.

All games checked and verified with abgx but before burn only. No wave 4 games played yet.
Oh well, time to buy PS3 or just come back to PC gaming.
Sorry you lost me there....
Why the hell are you going to buy a ps3? You obviously bought the xbox as its better then the ps3 and paid for the gold membership too? Why didnt you get the ps3 first then? Price?
Go buy another fing xbox for £160 and use that on live??? Or sorry are you trying to get microsoft back by not buying another console?

according to this site and bbc you can still use your gamertag on a new xbox

My brother got banned and wants to buy a new console for online retail games. He wants to use his old system to play his backups. So he can still do this but he won't get the achievements? That really sucks for him as he is an achievement whore. lol

So I haven't been banned yet but I only assume its a matter of days. I'm not going to connect to live again. What I am going to do is buy an arcade system and hook my HDD up to it. That way I can still play my mod offline get achievements and play my retail games online. As long as I never get banned this should work right? I mean it sounds like a good way to still play single player games offline and get achievements. Anyone think this is a good idea?
Also since I won't be using the system online can I burn games without abgx or do i still need it for wave?
