Un-ban your xbox360 with keyvault

[mati31]

Hi,

A french has solved the BAN problem. he has just insert in a xbox360 banned a keyvault from an other xbox360 (no banned). After insert it and update his kernel to the latest with xbox live update, the result is:

xbox360 works on the live!!!

I just give you the url,he will explain you "HOW TO" on this web site ASAP

if you want contatct it you can use this web site , it's zouzzz like on gueux french web site

[Arakon]

to clarify, it's not THAT simple, you do need your CPU key.
which you can only get with a downgraded 360, plus infectus.

[mati31]

right and of course many thanks to all hacker who have permit to find keyvault and all binaries files toobtain this result.

Perhaps all hackers of this website should work on it....

For example just compare a keyvailt banned and an other not banned or something like that

I'm thinking to:

-robinsod
-Cpasjuste
-arnezami
-TheSpecialist

I'm sure i forget many hackers, so be comprehensive

i bet they have got more important things to do than making someones banned xbox able to sign into live again

I'm not sure this is any big news - you can swap an unbanned from a banned KV (actually, it's the serial # in the KV) and then your box is unbanned.  But I'm dead sure MS won't let 2 console log in with the same serial # on live at the same time; that's like the most obvious proof of console tampering (ridiculously more obvious to detect than a flashed FW).

It's just like there's no point warezing World of Warcraft or any MMORPG; you can't have 2 serial #'s logged in at the same time (and you probably can't invent random serial #'s either).

Also, this guy may get a surpise when he sees that his unbanned console suddenly gets banned in the next wave of banning; the "xbox has played a burned dvd-r disc before" flag sits somewhere else on the console than in the KV (obviously), so that flag might just have been sent to MS along with his clean serial # (still unbanned for now). So now MS sees that serial # associated with having played a modified DVD before.

Still, good finding and good experimenting.

well, it would be possible i.e. to use the keyvault from a ROD/defective console, given you dumped the cpu key and nand before it died, of course. but yes, generally speaking there isn't a huge use in it.

yes arakon, you should be able to use a serial from a dead 360 in a banned one without trouble.. your basically 'ressurecting' the dead one.
good thing its the kv serial # getting banned and not the actual gamer account.. see how long it is until MS changes that, along with adding extra security to thwart the downgrader process.

Is it currently possible to change data in the KV and reload to the 360? Or do we need to dump the KV from another console and inject it?

Dam u no micro is going to be super man annd even if they do bann ur account only it would not matter all u got to do is go out and buy a 3 month or just make another 1 month for free from xbl

Again, don't want to repeat myself too much but doing this will probably only result in getting your non-banned console banned (since by swapping KV, MS can now associate that console that has booted a DVD-R at least once in its lifetime with this new KV).

And what do they do when they associate a KV with a console that has booted a DVD-R before? take a wild guess...

Just thought I'd throw a warning out before anyone attempts it.

[Makc]

zouzzz has lag in mygamecard.net
his account banned

[gfather]

so without the infectus theres nothing to do right ?

and not all old kernals can be downgraded ?

it seems not for every one

[growlley]

Ok I understand you have to have the hardware ie the infectus and addon board to get your cpu key from the key vault which means the timming attack if you cant allready run linux.

s I have a box were the cpu key has been lost and one that is fine - not sure if its been banned from live or not as I never play on live, but I was wondering can copying the key valut be done  in reverse, Ie fit an infectus to both and timming attack the first box to get its keyvault would this allow me to transfer the keyalut to the second box?

Cheers

Oh good, more BS from the uninformed, my banning finger's getting itchy.....

Yeah, He's asking for it.

[mathieulh]

There is nothing new in this, changing the keyvault of a 360 obviously unbans it since the serial/consoleID is stored there (even the mac address is) this was known for ages, just not tested as far as I know. This has no practical uses since you need an unbanned serial/consoleID to uban a console (a random one wont work, you need one of an allready manufacturated console) so unless the unbanned console is somehow broken, I don't see why anyone would want to do this.

uhm ok, however you want it, but you're avoiding the point here.

The fact that a backup has been run isn't stored in the KV. Therefore it's still in the box when you swap the KV. And then you log on live.
How's that any different than logging on live having just played a backup in the first place?

You can ban me cause I usually keep quiet over here, but you haven't answered the point; I'm not trying to bs anyone, but merely to raise a question. I'm probably "uninformed" compared to you; if so, just help me shed some light on that question. No need to be rude...

[Arakon]

the fact that a backup has been run isn't stored anywhere at all right now, it seems.

[mrblack1134]

hm.

so theory's you can play backups with a modified fw offline all you want, then switch back to a stock fw and play retail games on live and you'd never get banned?
hadn't understood that from the other threads around here...
