you noob **** lol well... thats something you should've read about... the soft-mod takes out your xbox live options... so if you want to play live again you have to unistall your soft mod, because the softmod prevents you from getting banned online.
with a mod-chip not a soft-mod if you have a chip in your box you can turn it off and back on.... so if your chip is off in your box that means its in stealth mode meaning that theres nothing there and everything goes back to normal like if there wasn't even a chip. but when its on its detectable changes part of your software and xbox live would be able to detect it.
Not quite true! If you softmodded correctly you should be able to 'Dual Boot' (read my tutorials) Also, you can access LIVE from modded games, you'll just be instantly banned!
ok listen to this guy..... i haven't been into xbox quite that long anymore... the last time i soft-modded an xbox was almost like 2 and a half years ago.
