i wouldn't go online and wait till we know exactly how people are being banned. did you get the spring update? if you didn't then im pretty sure ur safe to go to original! and if its a 078fk im guessing that if they didn't ban a lot of them yet it is pretty hard to detect so you can probably if really desperate to go on live flash to original!

no couple chips got banned. im planning on getting a chip but im not sure which one. im stuck between the globe360 all360 and possibly nme. im closer to the all360 but nobody is giving strong directions on which is better. the main point with the chip is that you can turn it off for play original games on live! but im wondering if its okay to have the auto original game chip turnoff feature. or does it have to be a manual switch? someone answer!
edit: just found out that the all360 goes on the motherboard of the 360, i really don't like that idea now im going for the globe 360! but im wondering is aladdin good because it only has like 4 wires to solder! all i want is a switch for online playing!
edit: im wondering after booting a backup can you turnoff the chip and the game will run? if so we can do this the go on live as it won't get a modified firmware to catch! SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE PLZ REPlY!

nope. its not going to work. once you turn the chip off your going to get a disc read error. the modchip basically replaces your firmware and its going to be just like putting a burned game in a non modded console. its not going to do any good.
but on another note, as i posted in my new thread, it appears that C4E may have a fix for all you banned people. once the new firmware is out you should be able to call ms and tell them that you were banned without having a modded console and they will rescan your xbox and find that your new firmware is fully stealth and they wont know that you have a modded firmware and they will unban you. Assuming this is true, the this will open the portals to really sticking it to the man.

That sounds good, but I can't see MS unbanning 1,000s of consoles that were actually modified especially if your 360 ever powered up on without a DVD drive connected to it which is believed one of the reasons for the banning. Basically MS checks several things and when you get 3 strikes your out.

Peple who are whinging don't really have much choice as everyone here knew what they were doing when they got their 360's modded in the first place.
Microsoft probably let it go on for a while until they thought uit was best - the release of the Elite and Halo 3 beta. Not bad timing if you ask me. I am going to buy a new Elite about September and a new plasma to boot for the new Halo maybe earlier if anything fantastic comes out for multiplayer I'l reconsider. Anyway my question.
Will there be a way that a patch can be added to the system to change the system number / serial number / console number or what ever info it is that Microsoft has to ban the console sonthat it isn't banned anymore?? To give a false I/D or something??

Hey Memnock, where'd you read this? I'm not saying you're wrong or anything like that. I'd just like to read more on it as I've never used my 360 to power my drive during flashing. I've always used a TE connectivity kit to power drives for flashing.
I've got a ms28 w/5.3c which hadn't been banned yet.

I have a flashed 78 HITACHI Drive. I played a backup version of Gears of War last night for a few hours. Everything is still working fine. I have downloaded all the lasted updates for Crackdown, but not the Halo 3 Beta. I live in Canada though if that makes a difference at all. I dont think it would though.

Hmmm I haven't messed with Crackdown since that came out so if there's been any kinda screwy updates with that lately I haven't downloaded them. Maybe they're hitting people who have been on for hours at a time?

It's from Commodore4eva himself. He was recently interviewed, but it's in Spanish. http://www.foros360.com/foro/exclusiva-mun...va-vt15295.html If you don't speak Spanish google does an ok job of translating it. The fact you aren't banned adds support to it which I'm glad to hear. Out of my own curiosity have you been using scene releases or ripping your own games?

Im a UK Banned Xbox 360 owner. First wave went out saying they were banned and i wasnt so was very happy! Then few days after, they banned me. So dont got your hopes up much.
MS25 w/ 5.2 Xtreme
Played Crackdown OFFLINE, never played online with it but i was signed in obviously.
Never played/downloaded Halo 3 beta.
Went onto Live BEFORE i flashed.
Overall im not too miffed about the bannings, but my bro is lol. I just wish I went for the chip method now. Played backups offline and played originals online doesnt effect me tbh. Thats how i used to do it with the PS2 with a harddrive.
However i take it there is NO hope for us with banned consoles? Thats the end of the line? TBH I aint got the cash to blow on another console like that and if i did, i would go for a PS3 just to have the greater variety. Sure Live is a good selling point for the XBOX, but not the only one and definatly not enough to get me buying one console dedicated for online gaming! Just my opinion though.

I have a Sammy ms-28 flashed with 5.3A. I've played Crackdown with the updates and downloaded and played the Halo 3 Beta and still not banned. Maybe I'm just living in danger? I did these steps however with the recent updates:
Flashed 5.3A firmware BEFORE Spring Dashboard update. Then I updated Crackdown and downloaded the Halo beta.
I specifically remember my release of Crackdown not being stealth patched and I manually added the DMI/PFI/Image and SS. I make sure ALL of my games are stealth patched before they go in my 360. I would like to know if banned users know for sure if their discs are patched. Also, did anyone read on Xbox Scene that MS may not be able to make the same checks with the Samsung ms28 drive as they do with the Hitachi-LG drives and others?

according to C4E you may be able to get back on. once you have the new xtreme online firmware, call ms, tell them you were banned for no reason at all, they will rescan your console and it will come back showing that you have legit firmware on your console and that all is good. if thats the case then they will unban you. simple as that. C4E even said that himself. so dont go around posting false info.
Edit- They will unban you. if they have no proof at all that you have a modded drive they cant unjustly ban you. that will cause lawsuits because with no breach of contract on your end, if they breach a contract you can sue for millions. MS cant afford 1000's of people suing them for large sums of money.
