Unflash Xbox 360?
Okay, so i just got a Xbox 360 that can play burnt games. I want to unflash it. I'm too scared to play online and getting banned. Will I still get banned if I don't play burnt games online?

Re: Unflash Xbox 360?
If at any point in the past, burned games have been played on it, there is the possibility of still getting banned. What I would do is connect to Live right now without a game in, and if it doesn't ban you when you connect, you're probably safe. But if your system is already flagged, there isn't anything you can do.

Is it just the DVD drive that's flashed? If it is, you're fine, unless you're already banned. People are usually banned because they don't burn the games correctly (wrong settings).

I bought an xbox360 from ebay that was flashed, I flashed it with original firmware so it can no longer play burnt games as I don't fancy getting banned(again)(i'm pretty sure the firmware does detect changes in the dvd firmware now, as I only played 1v100 on xbox live)
You can reflash the drive you need to dump the firmware so you can get the drive specific key, and a clean version of the firmware, pop your key into it and flash. (exactly as if you were flashing a custom firmware, only using the original)

It usually has nothing to do with "burning the games correctly".
Microsoft has gotten VERY good at banning Xbox360's with re-written firmware. It's usually pretty easy for them to detect it. And if you play ANY game before the release date Microsoft can see that also once you go online.
The 360 is just a glorified PC. It keeps track of everything done on it and Microsoft has access to that.
It's almost impossible to avoid getting banned with a new update.
If you have the money have two 360's , one hacked and one for Online bought games only.

Can't I just change the dvd drives?

No. The drives are keyed to the motherboard.PhookYu wrote:Can't I just change the dvd drives?
