Hi,
Before anyone flames me, I have looked on this site for about 30 mins for an answer to this. Some are similar but I can't find an exact question/answer to this.
I recently got banned from Live.
I know I can't connect to Live anymore from this console and I know I can move the HD to another console which isn't banned and then download DLC to this drive.
What I want to do though is put my HD into another console, download the DLC I want and then put my HD back into my banned console and use it.
I am pretty sure I won't be able to do this but I haven't seen anything on here about it. I know my current profile will be corrupted and I will have to re-download DLC etc but can I do this?
If not does anyone know whether there are any tools that exists to edit the licensing somehow to get it work with my banned xbox.
thanks,
|

'Fraid not mate, you have to be connected to Live for DLC to work.

Not sure about the tools, but you won't be able to use any new DLC you download on the modded xbox, you'll only be able to continue using DLC you already have purchased.

That's not the case unfortunately, to play DLC you need to be connected to live. At least that's what has happened in my experience.

You're incorrect. DLC is tied to 2 things, the gamertag that purchased it, and the console it was purchased on. One of those things must be present to use it. If the DLC was purchased on the banned xbox, he is still free to use it. I'd assume you have gone through more than 1 xbox, and your DLC is tied to an old one, so that's why you can only use it with your gamertag logged into live.

Nope, still using the same console and gamertag I purchased the dlc on (Mass Effect fyi) and if i try and start or load a game with the dlc activated, but not signed into live, it say's it is corrupt and needs to be re-downloaded (which I have done) maybe it's just Mass Effect then?

Petries is right. If you download an XBLA game on console A, you can play that DLC online and offline with any gamertags that you like, but only on that console. If you connect your hard drive to console B, you have to be logged into Live with the gamertag that originally downloaded the game or it'll revert to being a demo.
That means that the OP could play games that were originally downloaded on the banned box on his new console, but he could not download games on his new console and play them on the banned box, because he'd need to be signed into Live with the gamertag that downloaded them and obviously that's not possible if you're banned.

Anyone else had this problem with the Mass Effect DLC then?

Edit: Only just saw your post funksoulb.
No I have only 1 xbox and this is the first time I have been banned.
There is some DLC I want but I haven't downloaded yet. What I wanted to do was download it onto my HD using an unbanned xbox then put this in my xbox and use it but from what you say this won't be possible. This is because the new DLC will be tied to the unbanned xbox and I can't sign into live with my account on my banned xbox.
Obviously the DLC is somehow signed to the unbanned xbox once it has been downloaded.
What about accessing the DLC on the HD through a computer and modifying the code to use the banned xbox serial?
Of course this is very complicate but it would be possible, yo would just need a programmer for it.
Of course if certificates are involved as in signing the DLC then it is actually impossible.
Any thoughts on this method or tools to use?

If this was possible then you wouldn't need to buy DLC at all, as it would be all over torrent sites and the other usual download spots.

Not necessarily. It just may be very difficult to do and unlikely that someone would have been interested enough to do it.
Think about it...The person would have to have been banned themselves first to show an interest, then this person would have to learn about or create tools to allow them to access the data off an xbox HD (I know there are some already out there). This same person would need to be a good programmer/hacker to find out where the information in relation to the console serial is stored in the DLC. Then build a program that can modify the DLC code for you. And no doubt Microsoft will have made it as difficult as possible.
I imagine it is pretty rare for the above scenario to happen and the same person to have the skills to do it.
I am not saying it is possible, it may not be. But just because it isn't available all over torrent sites doesn't mean it isn't.
Too be honest I am more inclined to go with your opinion however on it not being possible. I bet MS use certificates to digitally sign the DLC so that it only works with the console it was downloaded on. If this is the case then no matter what you try you won't be able to get around it.

YES and NO.
Fed law says that an ARCHIVAL COPY is not illegal. The disc says 'do not make ILLEGAL copies'.
2) The disc wouldn't read and I OWN a LEGIT COPY as well.
3) You have to mod the HW to get it to read the backup.
[M$ calls this piracy.Its funny what thier definition really is an excuse to satisfy someone else in the industry.I wonder who paid them off.]
4) You need another set of hardware and software to make copies.AND using them does NOT make you a pirate.What makes you a pirate is DL shit off the net and playing it.ALSO, distributing, even to yourself, titles you haven't purchased.
[THAT is the definition of piracy.M$ just want the violations of ToS, AKA, the fix it myself method to stop.The problem is all they will do is send you a defective unit back and charge you for it.
BECAUSE OF THIS SHITTY CUSTOMER SUPPORT, I HAVE OPTED to PERMANENTLY BAN M$ and NO LONGER, EVEN as a sysop RECOMMEND M$ ANYTHING. If you read the EULA on Windows anymore, it isnt much different. If M$ would actually do thier jobs and fix the consoles, then we (modders or otherwise) would not have to do it ourselves.If they can't handle the loss of service contract, then M$ needs to change thier business model, NOT EFFE the user base.]
Is it a Violation of Tos, what I have done, yeah.But its not right to ream me up the arse for it, whether I bought the system on ebay or not.The mere fact that M$ has proprietary code to scan the HW of ANY system behind the users back and without thier consent is basis for another class action suit.Its bad enough that XP and beyond use it.
Time for LINUX based systems to regain some market share if you ask me.IM pushing Ubuntu until FPOS is in BETA.It will be some time coming.
Will support ReactOS, Windows' open source counterpart, ANY DAY.

My question to the posts above is then What can someone use the DLC posts on usenet for since they are releasing a pile of Rock Band songs, and various other DLC titles for the 360.
Is there some way that these files can be transferred to a 360 drive using a cable or something and having them patched to match the system you are putting them on?
It seems odd to me that these are being released to the Usenet groups and people are downloading them.
What do you do with them?

Hi there.
You say that the DLC is tied to both the gamertag and the console, and that on of these must be present to use the DLC.
In these days there are some tools to uncripple the harddrive after a ban.
So is it possible to take a hdd from a banned xbox, uncripple and recover the gamertag and then stick it in a new, unmodded, xbox and re-download the DLC that has been bought once?
