Help! I have installed my Xecuter3 CE in my xbox, and it works fine. I flashed it with the 1959 BIOS, and I am unable to connect to Xbox Live, and play! How do I connect to the MS server??? Thanks!
Xbox Live, can't connect

get into the original ms dash by holding the POWER and EJECT buttons together. im not an xpert on xbl ,but i know how to get into the m$ dash
no power and eject is for the backup bios, if you want to boot the the regular MS dash you must hold the power button down for about a second. (the dip switch LED should be red)a94060 said:
Then you put your game in. (yes you need the original game to play on xbl) then let it boot up and connect to xbox live just like you did before you modded your xbox
NOTE: If you have logged onto xbl before modding your box and then you mod your box and upgrade the hard drive. YOU MUST USE THE FIRST HARD DRIVE THAT YOU USED ORIGINALLY ON XBL. If you havn't upgraded your drive don't worry about it, but remember that if you did upgrade you must switch it out and replace with the original if you did upgrade your hard drive.
So basically just use the same hard drive all the time for xbl, which ever one you first used you must keep using it.
I hope that helped
I had the same problem it was because my xbox tried to log into xbl while the chip was enabled all you have to do is go into the origional dashboard with the chip disabled which with your chip is long hold power during boot and then go into settings without a game in the drive and choose the network setting it will say the ip is on manual turn it to automatic and then let it test itself it will find a new ip to go through and you will be fine. You can not sign onto xbl with the chip enabled or the server will not let you connect it sucks but it saves people from being cheated out of wins in ranked games.dcarrington01 said:
Question
I thought trying to sign on xbl with your chip enabled got you red flagged and banned from xbl altogether???

I heard that too but it apparently isnt true because my account still works and that happened weeks ago.lazatunt said:

It does..
That is why Xecuter was smart enough to add this feature to their bios.
Doesn't allow you to sign on to XBL (provided that you have not disabled this feature) to prevent you being banned.

So just to make things a bit clearer to me... If I upgraded my OEM 10g hdd to a 200gig before I ever use XBox Live, and I install Xbox live onto my xbox after the upgrade, then I could use the 200 gig drive and it will work with live? Or the only HDD you can ever use with Live is the OEM 10g one?dirkamiss said:
you should be fine with the 200 gig drive. Just don't go on with the chip on. Always make sure it's disabled and disable auto logon in the M$ dash.

So it only recognizes the first HDD that you use when you go online through Xbox live correct? Thats how it could tell whether or not you have a chipped Xbox? Sorry I keep asking questions, I'm just trying to understand completely...
Found this on the xbox-scene faqs:
How to play on Live with an upgraded HD
Playing on Live is easy with an upgraded HD. It must always be locked. The original MS BIOS, when the modchip is off, demands a locked HD or else your Xbox won't boot. You may ask if a locked HD is ok to do with the modchip on. Yes, it's okay.
Does this have to do with you not using xbox live on your system yet and upgrading ... or with you previously using xbox live with your OEM HDD and then upgrading?

You have to have your hard drive locked or you can not even boot up the original M$ bios.
You have the basic idea. If you want to upgrade your hard drive and play XBOX Live, upgrade your drive FIRST - BEFORE you ever sign up to play live.

It is possible to move the xbl account to a new drive, but only if you got a memory card to save the account to. So if you got xbl on the OEM drive and have put in a bigger one, just move the account to the bigger drive.

is there any possible way that u can play your backups on xbl yet? i really want to do this with my halo 2 backup 
heres exactly what i did, i built my own xbox by getting all the required parts, except i hot a 120g HDD and put it in there, as well as the chip, (the xbox was NEVER turned on until everything was installed.) flashed my bios etc etc. then after youre all set up, lock the drive (assuming you have all the correct files for the xbox to boot the original M$ dash) and hold the power button [Disables Chip] without a game in the tray, go to M$ dash, and simply make a new account with a 2-Month card or what not laying around, disable the chip when you want to play live, turn the chip on if you dont. easy process, ive been in live for almost half a year now and im not kicked from live by doing this process.

this is entirely not true, microsoft logs your xbox hardware via IP integrated within the motherboard, therefore adding an XBL account from an unmodded xbox or other xbox at all to an xbox with the slightest HDD mod, your account AND xbox ip will be permanently banned unless you change your EEprom setting. Even through memory card it will be disabled as well as access to XBL with your xbox. Sorry boys, you should just take my method above....faultless

You don't need a memory card though it makes the process a whole lot easier.roger_w said:
You can do an account recovery on any xbox.
