I purchased an unbanned eeprom.bin file for my 360 because I was banned originally for having a softmodded xbox. Is there a bootable disc that I can burn this bin file to and flash it?

You bought this for your 360?
Bad news, there is no way to be unbanned on the 360.

yep, they seen a sucker come in.
Mehtevas is correct, as of now there is no way to unban a banned 360.
who sold it to you and what did you have to pay.
i would like to expose them on so no one else gets ripped off.
I have lost all and any respect i had for this site!

Dude is a member of a few different forums and goes by the email and aol instant messenger tag "iyricaiiy gifted"
I'll even post up some email correspondance since I asked him numerous times to tell me how the flash works. This was his original email to me:
Here is your requested EEPROM.
If you need additional assistance, feel free to email me.
Here is how to install your EEPROM.
Please read the entire instructions and notes carefully before proceeding:
*Note: To Install your eeprom, make sure you are using Configmaigc Final (for XBOX versions 1.0-1.6). If you have a 1.6 XBOX Make sure you use the new Configmagic 1.6. Also, Do not use EEPROMER to Flash, only use Configmaigc)
****GETTING THE EEPROM FILE FROM THE UNBANNED XBOX***
[This is only if you want to backup your original eeprom file. For version 1.6 XBOXes, I highly recommend that you proceed with this step]
1. In EvolutionX, do the "Backup" command in the Utilities menu. It will generate files about your Xbox specs.
2. FTP in your Xbox, or use a file manager tool, and in C:Backup, you will find a file called EEPROM.BIN
3. FTP that to your PC HD or remember its location for future reference.
***SETTING UP THE FILE FOR CONFIGMAGIC FOR THE BANNED XBOX***
1. Once you have Configmagic loaded onto your HD or on your PC, there will be a directory in it called DATA.
2. Move the EEPROM.BIN file, that Zodiak has sent you, into that DATA directory, overwriting the EEPROM.BIN file that is already there.
3. If you are making a Configmagic CD, you can now make the ISO of it and burn it. Xbox HD users, don't worry.
***RUNNING CONFIGMAGIC***
1. Load up Configmagic.
2. A warning screen will be shown, press "A" to bypass it.
3. When Configmagic finally loads, it will show your current EEPROM on your Xbox. Make a note of the DVD KIT ZONE and VIDEO AND XBE REGION information. "NTSC, Region 1" for US Xbox gamers "PAL, Region 4" for UK Xbox gamers
4. Select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM" in the menu.
5. Select "UNLOCK HD" in the menu.
6. Load the EEPROM.BIN file in the DATA directory by choosing "LOAD EEPROM FROM .BIN FILE"
7. If you see that the VIDEO AND XBE REGION information is different, you MUST change it. Go into the menu and choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM". Change the VIDEO AND XBE REGION number to the proper information of your former EEPROM.
8. Now, select "UPDATE XBOX EEPROM" in the menu.
9. Your Xbox's EEPROM will now be updated with the file in the DATA directory.10. In the menu, select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM". You will notice your EEPROM is now different! Success
10. Select "LOCK HD" from the menu.
11. Select "EXIT CONFIGMAGIC" in the menu.
***IMPORTANT TIPS***
- If you were using the XBOX DVD KIT to play DVDs, and the Xbox gives an error about region, load up Configmagic and change the DVD KIT ZONE number to the number of your previous EEPROM. UNLOCK the HD, choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM" in the menu and simply change the DVD KIT ZONE number. Then, UPDATE XBOX EEPROM and LOCK HD. Exit Configmagic.
- You can view any Xbox EEPROM using your PC by getting Liveinfo PC program. It will show all the details of an EEPROM.BIN file. You might find it easier to edit any possible changes to your DVD KIT ZONE or VIDEO AND XBE REGION using the program, rather ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM in Configmagic.
- Sometimes, with a PAL EEPROM, your Xbox's time might be wrong or video settings will be different. Go into the MS dash and change the settings to the way you seem fit.
Special Notes:
- If you were banned with your original eeprom, once you replace your eeprom, you will need to recover your account. To do this, simply select the account recovery option. Once this is done, you will need to verify some personal information in order to retrieve your account.
- DO NOT Burn the eeprom. You must FTP The eeprom from your PC to your XBOX HDD. It has been said that this causes some errors
- DO NOT RENAME the eeprom on your xbox. When you transfer the eeprom, make sure it is still named eeprom.bin
- There is a current theory being discussed, regarding new XBL procedures, that may account for quick bannings. It is called the Marriage Theory, For details view:

So aside from this asshole screwing me even though I made it very clear that I had a 360 in many aim conversations, theres no way of me unbanning my 360 through any other methods, or circumventing the security on xb live to let me get online?
If there isnt, are there any retailers left that arent checking Serial Numbers when you return xboxes? cuz I could always pull a swap and get myself a new box.
