Xbox 360 Unban Method


Recommended Posts

Once again hackers have found a solution, pretty crazy :p

It was inevitable that the hacking scene would fight back in some way to the bans that MS has imposed on modified systems. It looks as if they have now found a way to un-ban recently banned Xbox 360's but it looks to require a heck of a lot of 'know how'.

What is needed:

your 8955 live console + cpu key

a 2nd unbanned console

nandpro b + flash cable

xell loader

degraded

1888 fs

robinsod's flashtool

Apparently the full process of this fix is as follows...

Borrow a friends?

And get them banned lol?

This is a very old method that apparently doesn't work since NXE anyway.

Involved extracting some key from an unbanned box and injecting it into yours. These are unique for every 360.

this only works on older non-updated consoles.

if you have the newer dashboards your out of luck.

and the only way you could get your cpu key was an exploit that only exists in the first couple dashboards.

as for a 2nd unbanned console...why not just recover your gamertag to your unbanned console....

Yeah, and don't you need to update the dashboard in order to use Live anyway? So what's the point?

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
