I'm new to this website, so im not sure if this has been answered in detail before.
To get unbanned you need to purchase a new xbox EEPROM. (pal or ntsc)
steps for installing it are listed below. IT WORKS. just make sure your orginal MS info is correct and ur chip is turned off.
GETTING THE EEPROM FILE FROM THE UNBANNED XBOX
(TO INSTALL YOUR EEPROM, MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING CONFIGMAGIC FINAL* ALL OTHER VERSIONS ARE BUGGY AND WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. ALSO, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE: EEPROMER)
[This is only if you want to backup your original eeprom file]
1. In EvolutionX, do the "Backup" command in the Utilities menu. It will generate files about your Xbox specs.
2. FTP in your Xbox, or use a file manager tool, and in C:Backup, you will find a file called EEPROM.BIN
3. FTP that to your PC HD or remember its location for future reference.
SETTING UP THE FILE FOR CONFIGMAGIC FOR THE BANNED XBOX
1. Once you have Configmagic loaded onto your HD or on your PC, there will be a directory in it called DATA.
2. Move the EEPROM.BIN file, the new unbanned EEPROM you purchased, into that DATA directory, overwriting the EEPROM.BIN file that is already there.
3. If you are making a Configmagic CD, you can now make the ISO of it and burn it. Xbox HD users, don't worry.
RUNNING CONFIGMAGIC
1. Load up Configmagic.
2. A warning screen will be shown, press "A" to bypass it.
3. When Configmagic finally loads, it will show your current EEPROM on your Xbox. Make a note of the DVD KIT ZONE and VIDEO AND XBE REGION information. "NTSC, Region 1" for US Xbox gamers "PAL, Region 4" for UK Xbox gamers
4. Select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM" in the menu.
5. Select "UNLOCK HD" in the menu.
6. Load the EEPROM.BIN file in the DATA directory by choosing "LOAD EEPROM FROM .BIN FILE"
7. If you see that the VIDEO AND XBE REGION information is different, you MUST change it. Go into the menu and choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM". Change the VIDEO AND XBE REGION number to the proper information of your former EEPROM.
8. Now, select "UPDATE XBOX EEPROM" in the menu.
9. Your Xbox's EEPROM will now be updated with the file in the DATA directory.10. In the menu, select "LOAD XBOX EEPROM". You will notice your EEPROM is now different! Success
11. Select "LOCK HD" from the menu.
12. Select "EXIT CONFIGMAGIC" in the menu.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- If you were using the XBOX DVD KIT to play DVDs, and the Xbox gives an error about region, load up Configmagic and change the DVD KIT ZONE number to the number of your previous EEPROM. UNLOCK the HD, choose "ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM" in the menu and simply change the DVD KIT ZONE number. Then, UPDATE XBOX EEPROM and LOCK HD. Exit Configmagic.
- You can view any Xbox EEPROM using your PC by getting Liveinfo PC program. It will show all the details of an EEPROM.BIN file. You might find it easier to edit any possible changes to your DVD KIT ZONE or VIDEO AND XBE REGION using the program, rather ON-THE-FLY EDIT EEPROM in Configmagic.
- Sometimes, with a PAL EEPROM, your Xbox's time might be wrong or video settings will be different. Go into the MS dash and change the settings to the way you seem fit.
Special Notes:
- If you were banned with your original eeprom, once you replace your eeprom, you will need recover your account. To do this, simply select the account recovery option. Once this is done, you will need to verify some personal information in order to retrieve your account.

NP mate. Im happy to help. Where should it be posted? Ur welcome to post it for me. If you follow the steps you shouldnt have a problem. I got banned from xbox live for having changed the ms bios information when my chip was turned off and now im back to playing on Xbox Live. Need to get some good games though, im really bored of moto gp demo . Though Halo NMP on XBC is sweet as. It cost me only 15 USD to get two unbanned xbox EEPROMS, its cheaper than buying another xbox
I used it to transfer the full saved files for all tracks n bikes for moto gp demo for xbox live since i dont own the full version and couldnt unlock all the bikes. thanks to forahobby for introducing me to this website. see you on xbc mate. I should also thank Zodiak for info n EEPROM

Yeah, I know what you mean about the MotoGP. You can only stand so much of people driving the wrong way around the tracks so they can head on collision you...HA.
Some of my favorite games to play with friends online are Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six 3, and Mechassault.

Hi, How did you install the new eeprom? I have downloaded configmagic final but am unable to run it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

this guy is great, he has a number of ntsc and pal eeproms available, read his feedback if you dont believe me, all 50 pages of it.
he very quick with delivery, just paypal him $10 with a note saying what you require (ie PAL / NTSC, v1, 1.1-1.5 or 1.6) and an email within 24 hours usually will arive with ur new eeprom
one tiny snag though is the marriage theory, from my understanding if you were banned because you changed your harddrive after signing in to live anytime after july 2004, you will need to change both your hard drive and eeprom simultaneously as they are recording hdd serial numbers now and if your banned hdd pops up, even on a clean eeprom you will be banned within 5 mins, believe me it happened to me _________________ XBOX v1.4
