do not update from mw3 or all xgd3 games will not work:(

[m9g]

ahhh something new - as above mine on xval says "failed ap25 challenge", thinking i've been flagged but just read a post that xval is no good now and checked it a different way described on xbox360iso and the code coming up is suggesting i'm not flagged

So is this xbox360iso way a reliable way of knowing?

Thanks to BOAT for these Instructions:

REMOVE HARD DRIVE AND MEMORY STICKS AND CARDS BEFORE PROCEEDING

1. Turn on the xbox
2. When you get to the home screen there will be no profiles found. That's because you removed your hard drive/memory card which contained all your profiles. Easy to understand =).
3. Now go to system settings.
4. Go to Network Settings.
5. Click Test xbox live Connection
6. Start connection and wait for it to finish
7. When it is done you should get a message saying to update your system. Here is another important thing you need to do DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM!! Just click No, don't update.
8. You should get a test connection failed message. Just click cancel.
9. After that click Y and you should get a list of numbers or codes.
Check your code under the letter Z
It should say Z: "whatever the code is"
Here are the codes to determine if your console has been banned.
Z: 8015 - 1002 means you have not been flagged yet. Hurray but still be cautious when playing online.
If it shows something other than that like
Z: 8015 - 190D, that means that you console has been flagged or banned.

I've been off the forum for a few days ,

was dicking about with the xbox yesterday and took a few updates, skyrim and a few of the oldergames..


Haven't tried live today ..

Will have to give this a go later when im home from work ...

Was thinking about ordering a 250gb xbox s anyway .. have one for copies and one for orig online games .. Maybe my decision has been made for me ..

Just ran xval, went into system settings on box, then system info and put console serial number in and also the X: 16 digit code at the bottom of the screen in the Encrypted X value - is this correct?

The decrypted x value returned all 0's with a 1 on the end and in the box is says - "Failed AP25 Challenge"

Does this mean i'm safe or flagged?

Flagged i rekon, is it just the box thats banned or will my account be stopped, can i put my hard drive onto another console and use that? what can i do to continue playing online?

Just the console gets banned.
