  • Xbox Live on a Modded 360?

You can't use it, right? im on LT+3.0,cant Join Live and start playing FIFA 12 right? and when i join live,do they require payment instantly?
You can join and play but sometimes Microsoft releases a "Ban Wave" which silently checks if your console is modded. If it is modded than that console will be banned from Xbox Live.
Yes you can, but its risked ... Microsoft baned my friend's console because it was modded. And now it doesn't work and can't be repared. I play Live, without modding my Console.

Why everybody in leb mods his console. Its a shame

get a ps3 for online games and an xbox for all others
or get 2 xbox's and the whole thing will be cheaper than owning an unmodded xbox
1. Yes you can use it

2. Yes you can play Fifa

3. Not so sure. Back in my days (2009-2010) xbox used to give you 2 months of free XBL gold i.e. you could play online for free out of the box as soon as you update your console and take your gamertag online. If im not mistaken this does not exist anymore.

I'm banned on Xbox Live btw, i was part of the 2010 / "halloween" ban wave - it was the biggest wave yet, 1.2 million users were taken offline. I was on xbox live for 6 months; some of my friends lasted around 2 years before that.

What im trying to say: Don't. I bought a PS3 since the day i got banned, better in everything i can think of anyway.

@The_MMMs why were you banned? how could they know you're using pirated games?

Because Microsoft will detect hardware and software modifications in the console.

well yes and no.

A DVD drive flash isn't so easily checkable. What gave away the old ixtreme firmware was the immense amount of checks it did on the backup games

It would do SO many checks that XBL eventually picked up that some consoles were being way too "safe"

I know that sounds ironic but that is the general "why it happened". So basically we were screwed from the start.

Hence the new firmware LT => Lite. It is much lighter and less strict on firmware checks. I honestly don't know anyone who got banned using LT. If and only if they played a game way too early or burned the game disc incorrectly. That being said they only got gamertag banned NOT console banned.
A quick question since the thread is still open; let's say I don't join xbox live to play any games, just to quickly get some DLC for a game (30 min DL) and turn it off again, what are the chances I get banned with a modded 360.
if your LT+3.0,there is no chance of you getting banned,just go to Google News and type Xbox 360,if you find out that there is some bans going on,disconnect for a couple of days.

The general consensus a long time ago was that if you didn't play the game online then your safe (even if your console was flashed/modded)

However, after the boom in the work with the JTAG and the New Glitch consoles over the past 2,3 years there is evidence that the xbox NAND communicates with MS every time on startup - it sends like a status report on system status AND history.

Of course this history will include any game you played; it is believed that if you play a incorrectly burned game (even offline) it will "flag" your console and modded, and basically that will send a "bad message" back to MS. Whether or not you get banned for it, still its not so sure.

The WORST thing i can think of MS doing is what they did in the last "banwave" - what they did is completely lock me out of my HDD so any DLC or even game installs i had on the HDD will corrupt if i tried transferring them or using them. Plus i couldnt store any other games or anything - this was fixed later by a mess up that MS did; when i once updated the dashboard again offline it unlocked everything lol.

So yeah; do it at your own risk, basically - then again the chances that you've used an incorrectly burned game are quite low, so don't worry so much.

I disconnected for a month in advance and still got banned so yeah. It isn't a "Live" banning process, your console gets flagged i.e. deemed to be banned, and you get taken down during a "wave" where MS turns on a "switch" and bans all the consoles flagged in that time period.
