This could be the solution to xbox live bans. Is there a way to do it yet? Or is that planned to be included in the next bios release?
HD Serial key editior
- Thread starter Computertrendy
- Start date
im sure if you dig around you can find a hd editor - but i can't help atm - work firewall stops me from going to nasty editing places :twisted:
By the fact they said "We will have a play - as I'm sure others will." If they can it will be integrated into a bios release not so far from now 
Im sure it wouldnt be too hard - all we need is a program that hacks into the hd firmware/disc info and change the key to whatever you want...
Im quite curious as to what new features will be added to the updated X3 -i already love how well it works

Haven't tried it out, no C compiler, but sounds like it might do the trick. (As long as it supports the FATX file system)

would I be right in assuming that if I've had a HDD on Xbox Live...but replaced it with a new drive (which I have not tried XB Live with) and unlocked the drive in the process...then I'm pretty much screwed?
Completely, until the team comes out with the editor in the next bios (hopefully). I'm in the same boat pal :wink:
ok 1ce u screw up by replacing ur HDD now and going on Live, u need a new EEPRom that has never been on live.
ok dat wont work cuz its just the Volume serial # theyre talkin abt (volume = partition) not the 1 of teh actual drive which is wat is causing the prob.
The HDD serial and Model # are storred in the EEPROM. so change those. Model # gives a rough volume.
However, now MS must be only getting serial #s because if they were using Model # then everyone with a non-stock HDD model would be banned. NOW, they are just making sure the serial #s do not change.
However, if and when MS gets smart and starts getting checking Model #s then you will have to change that in the firmware to represent a srock drive. make sense?

Nopee,, ur wrong, the serial and model #s are NOT stored on the EEPRom . Config Magic just retreives them for u and puts it on the screen, the serial and model #s belong to the hard drive and are stored there..PhatheadWRX said:

It is going to be a good day for the EEPROM sellers when MS does start storing and banning from Model info.
This is all so confusing.
What we would have to do, is change the new HD serial number to the old HD serial number we first signed on XBL with? And make sure the key is the same?

Yeah, correct. If you have signed on XBLive before upgrading the HD:Computertrendy said:
1) Get serial off HDD that was in your xbox when on live
2) Make your NEW HDD serial the same
3) Upgrade and you should be ok (also save you from buying a new EEPROM)
Down the road if MS starts banning off Model #s and Serial #s then you will have to change both and the model # will have to be from a stock box (ie - my 1.0 HDD model was WD80EB)
I'm more interested in how a banned xbox with changed EEPROM and HDD serial numbers/whatnot would react to a flagged gamertag.
I'd be interested in testing this out, if I had a new EEPROM and the ability to change my HDD s/n, as my tag is flagged by XBL from being used on a banned box (That's how my box was banned... used my tag on someone else's banned box)

Looking for firmware flash near Cumbria, Lake District
Hey guys, I'm after getting my LiteOn flashed to the latest LT firmware. I did my old Sammy MS28 drive myself after many failed attempts, and this time after reading the guides on how to do a LiteOn, I think its best I get a pro to do it!
If there is anyone in Cumbria near to Kendal/Lancaster/Keswick kinda area, that would be great. Can post to you, but would prefer a drop off or while-u-wait if possible!
Cheers all.
