I have just got a retail version of Assassins Creed Brotherhood, and I have a few questions for connecting to live in order to access Uplay only.
First off, I don't know alot about X-Box Live, since I have never connected to it before. I think my 360 is flagged since I accidentally tried a downloaded version of the game(which didn't work), so I'm not sure about connecting.
What I have in mind is, can I put my Hard Drive and disc in a different X-Box that isn't modified? I intend to download a few extra costumes for the game, and I'm considering to go to my friends house in order to use his X-Box for that. And another thing to mention is, can I download DLC using the same method? Downloading it to my HD but using an unmodified X-Box.
As I've mentioned, I don't know alot about X-Box Live, so any tips for connecting is very much appreciated, and I would also really appreciate anything you'd have to say, thank alot in advance.
you should be able to do that, but there was a rumour that if you go on live and actually get banned, your x box hard drive will be corrupted along with all the data on it.

Thanks alot for answering.
So if I use my Hard drive while connecting using an unmodified X-Box, will the data be corrupted?

most probably you mean that the gamedata and profile becomes corrupted (clean secdata.bin).
if you download any data on a unmodified and clean xbox on your harddrive (your friends xbox) and you put that hdd in your modified xbox; it will not work. since the download is linked to the xbox on which it is downloaded (that has been the case for years; i doubt that has changed). unless off course you have a jtag xbox; then it is not a problem. if you only have a dvd fw flashed xbox; it won't work.
i'm not sure whether xval (XVal_v2.0.zip) still works; up to some extent you can see if your console shows any flag. that might give you an idea whether you are flagged or not.
but if you are flagged; you are screwed anyways. no way back; and a ban is coming. in that case just try to dl the content quickly while you are still live capable. but that is my opinion.

Thank you very much for replying.
I think my console is flagged since Xval said "AP25 Fail", but I'm not sure yet. Even if there is a ban, how would my console get banned since I never even went online?
Could I still prevent it if I don't go online? And would I instantly get banned if I try to go online if my console flagged?(even though there isn't a wave ban)
Is there anything else that the ban would affect my console besides accessing live? If the only thing that would happen to my X-Box is not accessing X-Box Live anymore, then I'd give it a try, since I want to connect to Uplay.

Anyone willing to help? I hate asking many times but this is the only way it seems.
Another thing to add is, I will only be using Uplay to download content for the game specifically, so its probably not considered DLC. So will it \work if I use another X-Box with my own Disk and Hard Drive to only download from Uplay?
