MS Ban Hammer - 10.30.09

Like I said before re-check your games in ABGX (Select the burned dvd tab instead of files) and let it run all the way through the crc check to see if your games are good rips. atleast check the last few games you played before you were ban, (if too lazy to check them all). If all the games are fine then Abgx screwed alot of people or microsoft has new detection method. If abgx did screw up I doubt we will ever know because of the Ufc/Red faction scare months back. Live is great, but it's really just about the games which modded consoles should have plenty of. Even if banned, having a modded xbox was well worth the risks.

 

Just noticed I was banned today. I'm in Canada. Did the latest update on Nov 2nd, was not banned then but am now. All games check out on abgx, NEVER played early.

I modded using the 360 as the power source -- I would be interested in more comments about this. Is the connectivity kit safe? It seems likely that the system logs that the console was booted without the DVD drive, viewing the log may be one of the methods of detection.

My buddy was banned in early Nov. Now when he tries to boot he gets the 3 rings, and won't even boot to the dash. Probably a coincidence but I wanted to throw that out there just in case others were seeing the same. He was getting E71 and E79.

 

Well guys, just got banned as well. I make my own rips, and they always checked out. I only have a silver account, and never played on live with this modded console. And also never played a game early.

Very strange. Had 1.61 as well. I was as careful as can be and I even got banned.

I really like to know what triggered this.

 

wow ppedro that sucks man, your actually on my friends list. I was going to ask you if you were ban but i see now. xbox live feels so lonely now. seems no one is online.

 

yeah man, I guess you won't be seeing me logging in to live anymore lol.

just an update, I do my own retail rips, using i.61. used 360 as power source for flashing. Rechecked all dvd's and they all check out still... and yet I got banned. I don't think we'll ever know how exactly they are doing it.

 

Yup I got banned this morning too. It's funny cause a few days ago I posted on the 'Ban wave survivors' thread. Have a Hitachi ix1.51, never played early, always verified and all that. I've played GTA episodes and Tekken 6 (verified as well). I read some other posts about checking your games from the burned dvd, but seems kind of pointless since most would have played the games already. No big deal for me since i never played live.

 

okay one more update, I tried to play some games that were already installed, and i get this message "This game can only be played on the console nad hard drive it was originally installed on. To play on this console, delete and re install game"

So not only can i not install games now, but whatever is already installed, won't run from the hard drive.

 

Guys,

Someone I know just rented Halo ODST and Madden 2010 from BB just to do a test. After he ripped the games to his PC and ran then through ABGX they failed. ABGX is the problem right now. They're database is corrupt. Try this for yourself and see.

 

Lol, and that could be a serious problem.

 

it kinda sucks that whatever game was installed will not run off the Hard drive anymore. Does this include forza 3 disc 2? Can't use the extra cars anymore?

 

I'm with you on that. I preferred playing my games from the hard drive, especially with a Hitachi. 120gb wasted.

 

120 gb here as well all gone

 

What are you saying? If I installed a game to my HD I can't play it anymore? Even off the disc???

 

Yes, you can play straight off disc.

 

You can still play it off the disk

 

Oh, thanks god. My Borderlands is on my HD and I didn't really want to lose it.

 

Your OK, you can still play it off the disk, just not the HDD

 

if you installed ANY game whatsoever before being banned you wont be able to do it now being banned, either the install option nor play them from hard drive, BOTH are disabled
a banned console is better having a memory card(128mb or 256mb is ENOUGH), if your not planing on getting another xbox your better selling the hdd, any offline profile you make on a banned console is corrupt anyway on a non-banned xbox

 

My brother was banned on his 1.6 Firmware and didn't play online for link 2 months until just recently on Nov. 6th. I'm also banned to and checked everything very thoroughly.

He works at a network company that puts in patches for internet security updates and they usually puts these patches months in advance that are undetected and set to activate at a certain day and time.

He believe M$ has done the same thing when they make us do a update on our console, and it doesn't have to be the most recent update like the 10/19 update for the MU. The update could have been months way back to track mod consoles, and set to activate on certain day and time and keep activating in the background.

There is no proof to this, but if his company does things like this and so does other companies around the world, why wouldn't M$ install a hidden patch update months in advance to catch us now.

-_- There is a posting that someone said his friend went to BB rent a game and ran it through ABGX and it came all corrupt... I wonder if there is any truth to that and that is 1 of their additional things that ran to track people.

 

Possibly the August 11 update that changes the boot
