I am thinking about buying the Xenium Ice Modchip and i dont know if it has a on/off switch so that i can still play Xbox Live. Is there someway for me to turn it off so i can play xbox live?

it doesn't need a switch because of the OS. you can just launch the onboard bios from the OS on the chip. its a better chip than the xecuters. in english yes you can play xbox live. its very simple.

I agree the xenium is more advanced than the xecuter 2.3/2.6 but if youre only playing backups, apps, emulators, connecting to a pc, you dont need the OS, save yourself the cash, get an xecuter 2.3/2.6.
If you LIKE the advanced features the xenium offers, then get a xenium.
For the everyday xbox user however, any chip will do the job.
Its not worth the extra $20+ just for the fact you dont have to manually flick the switch over.
But, having said that, is a damn fine chip.
XB360 hitachi xtreme f/ware, chameleon case, whisper & airflow blue led. XBOX w/ 2.6 2x custom "djboogie" bios. PSP 1.50 w/ devhook .52 % 303 f/ware.

the xenium can also be much easier to install because of the ftp server on the OS. and u get to choose from all the different colors. you can add as many LED's as u want to pay for

hey,
ok guys
i bought an xenoium ice modchip, to switch it off you want to load the retail kernal (i.e the official microsoft dashboard), to do this goto the launch menu, click add new item, choose from TSOP, and name it what u like i.e original dashboard/ retail kernal, and then when you launch this the xbox mod chip is off. I suggest you goto www.teamxodus.com, its excellent there in their guides!
good luck
muncey!
P.s.,
I ahve a dvd writer (only soingle layered) , how can i abck up games that are too large for single layered discs, i.e dual layered discs?

Turning off the modchip will help prevent you from getting banned. But what about if you add a new hard drive and a chip? Will you be banned if you add a new hard drive after you have been previously online with your old hard drive? Is there anyway to prevent that? Thanks for any info.

Just make sure that if you have a chip that you just turn on or off that the hard drive is locked. The xenium turns itself off when you boot to the normal dashboard. They have no way of telling how big your drive is. I got back on and had no problems until I turned on the auto sign in and then started up my xbox w/ my chip on and it signed itself in. Bad idea. ALWAYS turn off the auto sign in and leave it off. I went a month or so before they found out.

so if i boot the original bios (retail kernal) then i will have no problem with xbox live and i will not get banned (i have xenium ice). I have not replaced my hard drive. Also what is the auto sign in?

If you boot the original bios with no disc you will get your 3 or 4 options. Choose settings, then auto sign-in, and then choose no. This will keep your xbox from signing you in automatically whenever it is possible. Such as when you turn on your xbox with no disc in it.

If you check TeamXecuter.com, you'll see that it is recommended to have the hard drive you want to use installed before you sign up for Xbox Live because of the new mod checking techniques. You will also see that they are working on a firmware hack to get around this new feature, so if those of you who have installed new hard drives can hold out a bit longer, than hopefully this problem will get solved.

Are you saying that you went 1 month before you got banned from Xbox Live? The people who find out are Microsft, through Xbox Live when you connect. It means that they discovered that you have a modchip or changed your hard drve.

If you are going to install something like Slayer, put it on the F: directory. That is if you have a upgraded hdd. That is supposed to be a stealth install. This also requires a F: booting chip. Most are. Yes, it was 1 month before micro$oft found out and banned my serial number from xb0x live. Since my last post I have fixed the problem and am now back on live.

i've got a problem. We installed our xenium ice, and its working. we got the the splash screen for the first time. and the first thing we did was upgrade my hard drive to a 120 gig with the wizard and that went fine. then we put the new drive in and we set up the retail kernal in the launch menu so that we can get to the origonal xbox splash screen and set the time and date. but when i select retail kernal the eject button startes flashing red and a screen pops up like you have no xbox service. whats wrong?

Are you absoloutely sure that you have all the original files from the original HD on the new HD? It will FRAG when certain files can't be found.
