Needs a slot for "Refuse to log in to get banned". I have a Lite-On and I doubt I have been banned, but it is not worth losing my HDD to log in to see.
Rockin a LiteOn modded with 1.6. Played a few games in the last few days with no problem. Even on live. ODST and GTA. No problems. Even beat MW2 campaign offline, no network no HDD attached about 3 times now. No problem connecting after each. Now I do let the internal clock reset to 2005/11/22 (or whatever) before I play MW2. Dont know if that does anything, but all seems well so far. ...

It seems the Aussie wave just hit yesterday with quite a few Aussies all getting banned consoles at about the same time. Ok here is the thing, there are very few differences between the people getting banned and not (I know as I've done the modding and supplied the backup equipment to a handful of people and have checked in with them on the status). In seems less people have been banned so far...
QUOTE(Ericn84 @ Nov 6 2009, 01:37 AM) Only me and one other person dont have modified firmware? So... what are you doing hanging out at xbox "scene" forums with unmodified firmware...?

After reading all of these posts, I really have to wonder how they are detecting us. M$ previously could not detect modified firmware. As far as I know they still can't, but you have to wonder, with all the recent bans, if M$ found a way to directly detect the firmware regardless of what games/media/stelth was used. With my new knowlege of the situation I would say if your cache is clean, meaning that you have not...
3 days ago i filled in that i wasn't banned, but now i am (benq ix161 and CODMW2(prefectly patched through abgx)) (now i can play AC2 with no worries:D) This post has been edited by afhaaljap : Yesterday, 01:44 PM
I have A 360 That was flashed, but for some reason does not read backups. ( some mod huh? ) What exactly is wrong with it, I cant say But it has not been banned, and the console that I do my DVD drive hot swap with is not banned.... What is it that you all are doing wrong, you didn't know that Microsoft can literally see the disk that is being played by the firmware that is on the drive, and if the seek time is not right they know your...
QUOTE(DarkBlades @ Nov 7 2009, 06:14 PM) Like Stewie once said "Your my eyes Goose" Have you played the MW2 offline w/ hard drive? (ON A DUMMY ACCOUNT) I haven't touched anything that has been 4th wave, like COD:MW2, Cars, Tekken 6, etc. I contemplated downloading activate.iso but thought it's just as easy to wait. I had also contemplated upgrading to 1.61 but after reading all of this, I have...
QUOTE The idiot that charged me $40 to flash my FW powered the liteon with the XBOX itself... that jackass powered it on without the DVD drive... "BTW ppl, if your banned and just cant figure out why, thats it" "Probably why 1 guy here was banned in the middle of playing a legitamite game" Theres a ROM chip that records activity on your xbox and power on without a dvd drive connected is a pretty...
QUOTE(fark_liam@hotmail.com @ Nov 15 2009, 02:07 PM) Why are people still stupid enough to go on live? The firmware is DETECTABLE with the new update. Live = Ban Well, I'm sure some of us are like me. I like taking risks, LOL and i've been doing this for over 2 years, even though im caught i actually think i got my moneys worth for the time being. gotta get another and mod it when the new solution arrives, hopefully...
QUOTE(ozman911 @ Nov 11 2009, 01:41 PM) 1) I pay the monthly live subscription faithfully. 2) I use the console mainly for movies and such. 3) If I have to pay $60 to try a game and decided I dont like it... Not gonna happen. So my thinking is this... Christmas time, PS3 price drop, No subscription fee for PS3 internet (as far as I knows), PS3 plays movies, is more stable, and roughly the same price for games etc....
For all you guys with a FW that cant play the wave 4 games and that have a banned xbox....just patch the damn games....and play on.....the best games are sp..... assasinss creed 2 and mass effect 2
QUOTE(Wobbly Plague @ Nov 20 2009, 04:59 AM) That's because we can be pretty sure they are detecting firmware not bad rips. when did they have theirs flashed? After ban wave started? Like I said I know of 1 guy who isn't banned... yet. He has had his flashed for two weeks on sunday, anyone else know of anyone with a recently (last two weeks) flashed console? Are they banned? all of us had our boxs flashed b4 mw2...
