Obviously none of them are "safe" but tomorrow i'll be flashing a ts-h943 and immediately going on xbox live. I have done all updates with stock drive and will be flashing with separate power source and playing abgx verified 4th wave game.
Now if you we're planning on flashing a drive tomorrow what version ix would you put on there? I'm thinking 1.6 and using the activation.iso for 4th wave games. crossed my mind that 1.61 doesn't do partition checks and what not so may be a little less conspicuous to m$'s method of detecting fw. Anyone suggest otherwise?
Ill be reporting back, let you all know how long i lasted if at all.
"This console has been banned from Xbox LIVE for violating terms of service, Yada yada yada..."

Well, if you absolutely have to do it now, I'd suggest Xtreme 5.3

Use iX 1.61, I know someone who flashed with 1.61 right after the majority of the bans happened and he hasn't gotten banned yet. It's almost been 2 months now too.

stock firmware. easy as that if you want to stay on LIVE without being paranoid if you're going to be banned or not.
ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure
got a whole lot more to list . . .

Can I jump in here with a question, XBOX is not really my strong point, but picked one up recently (for someone else) which has been modded and I am just wondering is it a good idea to go on Live with it at the moment or will it be banned immediately or is it a case that it will only get banned in the next wave of bannings ?
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

I am on Lite-on 74 1.61 BTW.

sorry to double post, I just did a xbox live network check and it says that i have been banned. I just dont understand howcome it wasn't banned before when I did the xbox live network check, do you guys think MS has already flagged me during the ban wave? or I just got banned as of right now?
another question, If Iextreme LT came out today and I flashed it with LT, would the LT have saved me from getting banned even though my xbox has already been flagged by MS?

When was the last time you had your console connected to the internet prior to receiving the ban message?
To answer your second question, once your console has been flagged, it's just a matter of when you connect your 360 to the internet again before you are banned. People have even tried going back to stock firmware. No dice.

You will almost certainly get banned next ban wave. The ban wave is over for the moment (or so it seems).

I know and I dont care if I get ban as long as the next wave is in October again =).
How long has your console been flashed?
It has been flashed for 4 weeks and I have been connecting to live every day.

go with xtreme 5.3a. i have been playing on live for 2 weeks using this fw and have yet to get banned. It is a non-stealth fw so it is it cannot be detected.

the problem is not only the firmware that can be detected or not. if you do not patch your backup properly they can detect you also.
there are also rumors that microsoft enters bad information in the Abgx v1.0.2 database where you can check whether your backup is stealth. there is no 100% security to stay unbanned. even people who only created backups by themselves got banned. when you download backups and patch them there is always a risk.
i decided to stay legit since there is no guarantee to stay unbanned. i think microsoft can surely detect it somehow and laughs about all this. when they need some more sells they say "let's ban another 200k consoles". only safe way is to buy another console for offline playing backups. maybe one from ebay that got already banned...
