i know i posted this in the " have you been banned thread " but i figured that it would just get lost in the realms of threads and posts in there.

So here it is again.

hey guys, this just in on irc:

(04:05:56) (c4eva) iXtreme Online fw to come in future, only for new/unbanned boxes, thats all for now
(04:09:40) (c4eva) no details on how its done

didnt take him long to figure out what was going on eh .

i guess then if u havent been banned from xboxlive, u should not use it til this new fw is released.


Guess there is light at the end of the tunnel!
 
nice hope its for both drives but cos i've been banned i will need a new xbox after its been released so i know its working before going for a new xbox
 
ive not connected to xbl since i got mu drive flashed. i was on at the beginning of the week and i got my drive flashed thursday and ive not even plugged in the network cable since. im not gunna go on xbl to see if im banned or if i will get banned because im waiting for a fix. hopefully this one will work!
 
Well if there is new firmware on the way then I’m gonna get reading up on how to flash the 360 coz I’m gonna do it myself this time.
If anyone can give me advice then it will be much appreciated as I cant do any downloading of guides ect till I’ve posted 20 posts and I don’t want to just post random snizzle and stress everyone out just for downloads lol.
p.s. this is a great site with a great community keep it up and hope to share loads of info with you all.
 
well get your self over to the general thread and get some discussions started, then once you can downlaod the pdf's etc, there's all so a search function, lots of reading to do 1st matey.

But alas we are still here to help you.........lolol

go on get outta here.....see you back in when you have 20 posts...lololololol....: multi :

wonder if there is any chance that c4eva is in 'cahoots' with ms... not trying to be ungrateful just curious
 
wouldnt surprise me at all seems there aint many hackers out there that do it just for the sake of doing it anymore ...money talks...and ms have plenty of that,

i personally have a theory which im gunna test tommorow

gunna grab a 3 or 4.1 version of the firmware flash a brand new 360 with it after ive taken the spring update,then go on live playing a freshly ripped copy of burnout revenge,fully stealthed up...

i do think the bans have something to do with crackdown,halo 3 and the spring update detecting non stealth patched games-i think this disc jitter is complete bull

and i wouldnt expect much from this so called new firmware thats been mentioned
 
Hi J,

So your thinking that the old firmware is actually better.

It'll be good to find out what happens.

i see where your coming from on this one.

Cheers

fair pair of cahonas you got there :) i guess though if your going to do that it would be crackdown and halo to test your theory?
 
It still doesn't explain the people who haven't played Crackdown or Halo 3 and are banned even though they are using older Xtreme revisions.

Not everyone can update their firmware by themselves, so many people out there still have Xtreme 1.0 etc installed on the system, haven't played Crackdown/Halo3 and are still getting banned, why would MS chose to ignore all previous releases anyway? The number of people with 5.2 / 5.3 in comparison to those with 1.0 - 5.0 must be very low, they would kick far more people if they targetted 1.0 - 5-0 - unless ofcourse, as has been suggested, the newer revisions of the firmware contain little easter eggs accessible by microsoft, which isn't present in the older revisions.

where you getting a new 360 from then lol, or is it someone else your doing ;)

ps ive ordered motostorm and got the demo down now fecking love that game.

also unless c4eva is bunnie id doubt it all signs say its him especialy as he was at m$ hq not so long back giving a talk.
 
I'm not so sure its anything at all to do with Crackdown and the Halo3 Beta.
I've never played them, plus I'm sure all my games were Stealth patched.
The only relation that the banning has to do with Halo3 is the timing.

I still got banned.
 
Ms and bill will only put a stop to the next firmware update flash if one comes out if you do it on a new console and drive, so if your going to do it on a new console id'e think about it first as bill has all the dollas and will find a way to stop it and kill you again of live.

Look at it this way he knows wot is coming out well befor most of us do and will have sumert for you lot when you go on line again, cant se you getting round it chaps as your up against the richest man in the world.

I dont go on live well not yet but do have a 360 that has never been opened or messed with from new and i think it may be staying that way form what iv'e red all over the internet.

You can by pre ownd good games for about 20 spots now, i now it's 20 dolla but you will have no worrys about going on live and how long your on it.

Was going to flash mine this week some time lol till i red this post not good news this.

If it was me i would look at getting a new 360 chipped with a switch on it so you can turn the chip off and then go on xbox live with a proper game in ? can this be dune.

Then just come out of live and turn the chip back on and play your backup's cool.

Just glad i dant do my 360 now thank fook.

Just my bit

thats whats stopping me getting another one at the minute, if they did it with this game whats stopping them hitting everyone with another game/update,

until theres concrete proof what happened and why and theres a real work round that wont be detected im not getting rid of my banned unit for another one because it,ll end up the same way banned from live and i aint going round in circles buying then trading buying then trading over and over,

if its fixed and it,ll last i,ll consider it as i do miss being able to go on live its the only reason i bought one in the first place.

if i do it wont get flashed, i,llhave to pay for the feckers lol.

theres a load of games out there that peeps have downloaded that arnt properly patched take for instance the first crackdown that was released....worth thinking about

violentj i would be interested in your findings regarding the old fw
 
Just a thought but couldn't two members on here who have been banned swap 360's. Then phone up M$ and say they bought them Pre-Owned from a gamestore?

I'm guessing not but I wouldn't be asking if I knew for sure.

:)
 
it probably automated though so even if they lifted it and you put a copy in it would reban, suppose it might work for originals but it would have to be a clean slate, new user name new live subs etc as im sure they would be able to check.

thats why ive got mine for a swap for an original non modded one in trades section, as the modded banned ones are ideal for non xbox live players but no good to live only players like me.
 
any one thinking that non stealth games are to blame ?

could well be seeing as theres so many stating they haven't been near halo beta,

surely this is just laziness by the up loaders on newsgroups this has to be a must and if thats the reason then its not on, i know you could say its not down to them to do it but me personally if i was putting them up id make sure they where 100% much the same as files put on hear in various sections by members.
