I just got one of my old boxes back, it's still on an older firmware can't remember which one, but i have to patch all the games to wave2 for it to work on it.
mw2 wouldn't play it needed to do an update on the console as it never gets connected to live, but the update from the mw2 disc refused to work, it just said disc dirty unable to update...
I connected the box to live and updated that way, but now i won't be able to go back online with it, as it will 100% be flagged for the next ban wave!
My question is did patching the game to wave2 disable the update somehow??
well, I meant i never played multiplayer, always single.
Well that doesn't mean that it wasn't online. You don't need to play a multiplayer game for them to catch you and it's quite naive to think that you do. If anything, I'd say that whatever check they use to determine the state of your firmware either takes place when you boot the machine or as soon as you log into live via the dash. Not when you are in the middle of a team deathmatch on COD6 or any other game.
Plenty of silver members got the chop aswell BTW, so you're not telling us anything new here either.
i get the whole "you modded your console and we reserve the right to keep you off live". that makes sense. disabling the HD install feature also makes sense, because they gave it to us free (i use that word lightly) of charge. in other words it wasn't guaranteed to you at purchase.
i can also see them doing the corruption thing on the profile. that way there's non of the super safe play copies offline and update your achievements on a legit system. sucks, but makes perfect sense also. what i DON'T get is the corruption of your save game files. wouldn't that classify as personal data and wouldn't that make altering it unusable wrong? sure you can still use it on the banned console but what about going legit with a new one and playing online. oh that's right you can't, you'll have to start said game over. i realize it's not that big a deal for most games but think of something like crackdown with the orb collection, or hell any massive RPG type of game for that matter.
aren't they breaking the law on some level or another?
oh that's nice as i post that i get an email from microsoft. more spyware or is this the update that's on the recent wave 4 stuff?
Information about the upcoming Xbox Live Service Update
There will be a mandatory service update on November 17th, 2009. The update will occur automatically when you start your Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Read on to find out what you'll have access to on November 17th.
Anyone seen the latest round of bullshit? "C4EVA Unban DVD" followed by the obligatory "PROOF!! IT WORKZ!!!" videos on Youtube
Spoiler:
If you want to see a video of the unban DVD search on you-toeb for:
"C4EVA Unban DVD"
GUYS who claim FAKE in comments, do not know how to make this work! TRY for YOURSELF PLZ! Proof Video of unbanning Xbox 360 is being uploaded SOON on you-toeb as video-response to "c4eva unban DVD"
from the TXT file:
Team THXI Presents LEAKED C4EVA UNBAN DVD for any Xbox 360!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't ask how this got leaked, it has and there's nothing Microsoft can do about this unban DVD. This Xbox 360 Unban DVD is confirmed to be working by many trusted scene members as well as C4eva himself.
I. Features
--------
- Will unban any Xbox 360 from XboxLive
- NO CPU Keys required to alter NAND data! (don't you just love us)
II. More Info
---------
The techical details behind this unban DVD are not to be revealed in it's exact formula, but I can shed some light on the general details behind it.
There is code present on this DVD even though it appears to be a Video DVD on your Xbox 360. This code will alter certain parts of NAND data of the Xbox 360, it randomizes the console specific data, data unique to each Xbox 360 (like MAC address, Serial Number and Console_ID), and will still look unique. Since the code randomizes the data, there's a chance it will randomize the data to another banned console_id. Again we will not reveal the technical details behind this process, due to the the 8xxx kernel being very vulnerable (we are hoping to release an exploit soon for full system compromise of any Xbox 360 and any dashboard kernel version. Expect a major breakthrough soon for homebrew, we are leaving Microsoft in the dark this time (unlike other hackers that have found exploits for the Xbox 360. In the past they have given away the technical details behind every exploit so far))
III. Instructions How To Use
---------
- Make sure your Xbox 360 has the 8xxx kernel (any will do).
- Burn the .ISO to a single layer DVD (make sure the booktype is DVD-ROM)
- Play the DVD in your Xbox 360, and it will start the video and code to unban your Xbox
- If it doesn't work for you the first time the Unban DVD might have randomized the console specific data to another banned consoles data... Once you get to replace the console_ID with an unbanned unit, you're 100% able to go on Xboxlive again.
IV. Credits
---------
Writing this Unban DVD would not have been possible without the work done by many hackers like arnezami, Redline99, Robinsod, SeventhSon, Tiros, tmbinc, xorloser, and anyone else I might have missed.
V. FAQ:
---------
How do I update my Xbox 360 to a 8xxx kernel?
You can update the Xbox 360 using an USB flash drive (put the SystemUpdate folder on the USB drive, download from xbox.com)
It doesn't work to unban, help me?
Run the DVD again, and again and again, make sure the booktype is set to DVD-ROM when you burn it.
maybe he killed the hitman. How can you guys be certain it doesnt work? and for real, wont my saves work on a new xbox when my current one just got banned?
as long as didn't access those game saves on that banned xbox. they will only work on that console if you have.
you can pull your tag off live but it won't read those save files. that's what i was saying, somehow seems wrong for them to fuck with the save file, like altering personal data that they have no right to.
Well I bought it now. Yet again. For some reason I thought they had missed me cause I lasted this long and most people seemed to have been banned a week or so ago.
What really sucks is that I bought this new box pretty much only for Live!, decided to be as "safe" as I thought I could be with abgx and what not and three months later I get this
Oh well, not like I didn't know the risks. Think I'll buy yet another console and keep it legit for the few games I do want to play online like MW2.
im curious has anyone gotten there modded console banned that has never played a game online, or played a game before its release date then signed online to get dlc?
also if u have a game installed to the hard drive and u sign on it shows the date the game was installed on the hard drive. it might also log the times it was played.
im thinking thats why i was banned because i never played online but i did sign in with games installed to the hard drive that were installed before they were released. i just like to get dlc.
im wondering if u use a different hdd to login and get dlc will i still get banned on my new hacked console? we dont know for sure if they can check the drive itself for the hacked firmware. even if u never put a game in it while online.
They seem to be really serious this time. Wave 5 now wave 6 will be there very shortly ...
// Wonder why they waited this long to sort it out.
waves are not protections, simply xbox updates put on game disc. we wouldn't even be talking about them if ixtreme didn't check them. New ixtreme LT won't care for any waves.
Is it still unknown how they detect modded consoles? It's funny that nobody have tried finding out by using a few consoles differently. For instance it would be interesting if somebody had a modded console that had NEVER had a backup game in it and only played originals and see what happened.
Also, its the drive they detect being modded, right? And the drive has a unique ID? if thats the case then why cant people just change the drive? I'm guessing because the 360s serial number gets banned too but Im not sure
And yes , always survived the ban waves (think 3 years now ). But this time ...
Just wanted play modern warfare 2 , tried to login on my account , and i get " this console has been banned for violations of the terms of use. To protect the xbox live service and its members microsoft does not provide details about console bans. There is no recourse for terms of use violations .
Microsft thinks they are gods now,
I will buy a 360 and Pirate their games,the "Hell and back"
what they are gonna do?,ban Me?
I will just not use Live
I have my PC for online Gaming anyway,and most of the worthable online games
are coming to PC already.

C4Eva released a statement saying that he did just that and has 3 360s running under different config and he didn't get 1 of them banned. C4 says that his biggest suspicion is that people used pre-released P2P game releases and/or used abgx360 incorrectly (like not setting the autofix level to 3, etc).
I haven't gotten banned and I played all these games recently with ix1.6 on live: DAO,Forza 3, Halo 3, Tekken 5, Borderlands, MW2.
Make proper backups, don't use p2p, know how to use abgx360, DO NOT PLAY pre-release games on Live[/b]
c4e also said that he's working on iXtreme Lite Touch FW, NO ETA, but the most exciting feature is the absolute undetectability of it, c4e claims. Can't wait , until then i'm using activate.iso in offline mode and then turn to live once i'm in the game already, game running off of HD.

Hmm c4e didn't say 1.6 iXtreme is detectable on live....this is new, is there confirmation that all Ixtremes are detectable on Live when playing good backups?
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
