I heard that if you have a modchip in your xbox, that when you connect to xbox live, it will know that you altered the hardware and it will cancel your xbox live subscription..

Is this true? If true, does this also happen if you flash the bios and remove your modchip?

you can put a switch on your chip and turn it off or with the matrix you can turn it off with the switches but you have to have the original in the drive and if u replaced the HD it needs to be locked.. if you do a search you should be able to find out alot more about it since i don't use it..

So, is it true or not then? How about if you do the chipless mod? or if you put in the mod chip, flash the bios, then remove the chip? does this keep them from canceling the xbox live subscription?

I personally would not run the risk of losing my xbox live subscription over something like being able to backup my games.

If anybody knows the answer to these questions, please reply. Thanks

when you flash the bios, you're flashing the chip. So if you remove the chip, you of course remove the bios too. If you're referring to the chipless mod as flashing the TSOP, then it will still ban you. You have to go online with the original bios.

hey VCD, hows it going? you can run a matrix chip a nd just go into mode 1 to disable the chip and boot with an original game and live is just fine. i actually got external switches on my xbox running to the chip, pretty damn cool.
