There is no other way R3?

Boner_18 · 11-12-09, 09:32 AM

I heard about this on CNBC, they actually found out through your connection to the internet and blocked you. Crazy.

paco · 11-12-09, 09:34 AM

Yes, I was playing modern warfare 2 and all of. Sudden disconnected and it said I violated terms of use.

Deuce · 11-12-09, 09:36 AM

Got buried. What does it matter if you mod your box? Unreal.

paco · 11-12-09, 09:57 AM

There must be a Way around this

paco · 11-12-09, 11:05 AM

I know someone can help me. Someone mustve been thru this

alukk · 11-12-09, 11:09 AM

Deuce · 11-12-09, 11:14 AM

Just sit tight, obviously someone will find a way around this. So many geek balls did this there is an answer somewhere.

bradthebloke · 11-12-09, 11:15 AM

You can mod it, but don't play on live.

If your not an XBOX Live player go for it.

Paco, your going to need to get a new XBOX, haha, and a new tag.

Until they match the serial numbers and you're doomed.

Maybe the new Modern Warfare game is so realistic, that it knew you had real life ties to terrorists and the game cut you off :clueless:

I knew it would catch up to people. I never could see paying $300 for a system then modding it anyway. Im sure they will come up with new chip or procedure but as you see you should stay away.

I looked into phone modding but way to sophisticated for me to understand

Play burned games. Honestly, here from Blockbuster you can rent any game for $30/month, as long as you want, one game at a time. Modding is such a waste of time and money until they perfect it, like they did with the original Xbox, where it had a switch.

Your going to need a new xbox but you don't need a new gamertag. You can still use the old gamertag. If you know someone that doesn't go online with live, you can always swap with their box as well. This way, your giving them a modded box for nothing and you get a box you can go online with.

Why not just get 2 xboxes. One modded and one for online only.

The popularity of the Xbox, as well as (in the United States) its comparatively short 90-day warranty, inspired efforts to circumvent the built-in hardware and software security mechanisms, a practice informally known as modding. Within a few months of its release the Xbox BIOS was dumped and hacked by MIT student Andrew Huang so that it would skip digital signature checks and media flags, allowing unsigned code, Xbox game backups, etc., to be run. This was possible due to flaws in the Xbox's security.[31][unreliable source?] Modding an Xbox in any manner will void its warranty, as it may require disassembly of the console. Having a modified Xbox may also disallow it from accessing Xbox Live if detected by Microsoft, as it contravenes the Xbox Live Terms of Use,[32] But most modchips can be disabled, allowing the Xbox to boot in a "stock" configuration. Softmods can be disabled by "coldbooting" a game (having the game in the DVD drive before turning the console on, so the softmod is not loaded) or by using a multiboot configuration.
There are four main methods of modding the Xbox:

Modchip: installing a modchip inside the Xbox that bypasses the original BIOS, with a hacked BIOS to circumvent the security mechanisms.[33]
TSOP flashing: reflashing the onboard BIOS chip with a hacked BIOS to circumvent the security mechanisms. The Xbox BIOS is contained on a commodity EEPROM (the 'TSOP'), which can be made writable by the Xbox by bridging points on the motherboard.[34] Flashing is usually carried out by using a specially crafted gamesave (see 'Game save exploit', below) to flash the onboard TSOP, but the TSOP can also be de-soldered and re-written in a standard EEPROM programmer. This method only works on 1.0 to 1.5 Xboxes, as later versions replace the commodity TSOP with an LPC ROM contained within a proprietary chip.[35]
Softmods: installing additional software files to the Xbox hard drive, which exploit programming errors in the Dashboard to gain control of the system, and overwrite the in-memory copy of the BIOS.[36] Soft modification is known to be safe for Xbox Live if the user enables multibooting with the Microsoft dashboard and an original game disc is used.[citation needed]
- Game save exploit: using select official game releases to load game saves that exploit buffer overflows in the save game handling.[37] When these special game saves are loaded, they access an interface with scripts for installing the necessary softmod files. Disassembly of the Xbox is not required when installing most game save exploits.
Hot swapping: using a computer to change the data on the hard drive. This requires having the Xbox unlock the hard drive when it is turned on, then swapping the powered hard drive into a running computer. By using a Linux-based Live CD, data on the hard drive can be read, altered, and deleted. In most cases, an automated script will automatically install the softmod files directly to the Xbox hard drive. This technique has been used extensively to harbor cheating on many online games. Disassembly of the console is required to perform a hot swap.

[edit] Features

Although technologically many aspects of the Xbox are out of date there is still a large following who continually build upon the capabilities of the original. No matter the method of an Xbox the features and results are relatively the same. Here is a list of features.

Dashboards - A hacked dashboard can also resort back to the original "MS" dashboard. A hacked dashboard is able to backup information, install and uninstall programs.

[edit] Alternative operating systems

Beyond gaming, a modded Xbox can be used as a media center with XBMC.[38]
There are also distributions of Linux developed specifically for the Xbox, including those based on Gentoo, Debian (see also Xebian), Damn Small Linux, and Dyne:bolic.
List of alternative operating systems:

Xbox Linux is a project that ported Linux to the Xbox.
FreeBSD has also been ported to Xbox.
Windows CE [39]
Windows 98 (using QEMU)[40]
Mac OS X made possible through emulation via PearPC on Xebian Linux [41]

One advantage over a regular, unmodded Xbox, is the ability to use a trainer.

mmike032 · 11-12-09, 10:45 PM

so you get burned games?
how the hell do you burn a game?
and how did you modd it?

not that I would do it, just curious.
is it like a cell phone where theres some comp program you run through it and than change all kind of chinese symbols, and comp lingo.
and if ya fvck up 1 step, the systme is destroyed

edit: thanks ttaylor, you'd have to be a Justin7 figure that shit out

tltaylor89 · 11-12-09, 10:45 PM

DOnate a few points Paco maybe 10?

daneblazer · 11-12-09, 10:49 PM

Your XBox is basically a PC. Modding basically means you hack it to unlock the capability to download games, music, media, etc.

I know someone that does this very, very well. He actually comes onto the board every now and then. Lives the life of a middle class guy but has the media collection of a billionaire. He suggested the only thing you can do now is to lay low for a little while if you have a hacked Xbox. Microsoft has done this before in spurts and eventually it will pass.
