alot of us in this country have bought modded xbox 360 for the sake of really cheap games with the pain of not able to go online and do updates.

as a VICTIM of purchasing such. i need a way out of this hell hole. i need to un-mod my xbox 360. has anyone tried of succeeded in un-modding their console?

I don't think unmodding it would make any difference

How come you consider yourself a 'VICTIM'? Did the seller mislead you into buying a modded console? Were you not made aware that you're buying a modded console?

go for trade-in

I have the same question as cleave's.

Furthermore, what made you suddenly have a change of heart? That you just realized how fun it is to play online or you just think it's morally wrong to buy pirated games?

As for your question, I recall one of the retailers at 'Sungei Wang' gave me a choice of removing the modded 'chip' from the Xbox 360 he was selling since he didn't have unmodded one for sale. I refused his offer 'cause it was still a risk since he'd be messing up with the hardware.

So in conclusion, it's probably possible. But I don't know if that changes the situation if your account is already banned.

u can unmod the drive firmware, but so far its pointless. If ur console is modded by others the default files (kernel keys) which is unique to each console "so m$ can keep track" has been removed and loaded with standard firmware with cloaking capablities. in other words u can boot a unmodded firmware using someone elses keys.

an alternate way its to get a unmodded RROD x360 drive and do a swap. however, this is also risk, m$ can also check if the drive differ to the console production. Ppl usually do this just to play game from different region.

If you ever walk into some unknown game shop somewhere, you'll be shocked that the fact that these shop tend to brainwash you so that you'll think XBOX360 is meant to be modded!

These shop either told you XBOX360's game is more pricier than PS3 counterpart or laugh at you for not following their false trend ala Ajaran Sesat.

Imaging such a propaganda is pushed to an untrained ears!

That's VICTIM as I mentioned before!

----

and TS, it's pointless to unmod your console. Once you console is modded there'll be a trail in your console waiting M$ to find it and flag you console for a future ban.

Sell it to someone and buy new unmodded one. You can sell it off & look for sellers in LYN for such console.

better way..
try to tarde ur machine at garage corner
i did dat
and lucky i managed to trade with un-modded 360 for myfrenz

man i miss xbox live . damnit my xbox is modded

i also want to change my modded xbox 2 unmodded ...coz xbox live is getting better and better!!

hm.... i thought u just need to get the original firmware for your drive and flash it back to stock? correct me if im wrong...

it looks like it is, but the purpose for unban is for LIVE right?

Microsoft historically had a way to track down people with tempered firmware. No matter you change back to original firmware or not.

Based on such historically proven ban-mayhem, We'd suggest you don't try that.

It is possible but you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops just to do it. do a search on the net and you'll find your answers. The easiest way out of this 'hell-hole' is to trade in your console for a brand new one. It'll cost approx 800 to do the exchange.

Btw. Your account is not banned. Only your console. Plugging in your current hard disk to a new Xbox360 will connect you to Live nonetheless.

No matter what you do, as long as your console is modded, you better avoid signing into Live if you dont want the banhammer surprise.

Short Answer: NO

Long Answer: NO I dont think so. Listen to the advice above and trade/sell it off for a new unmodded one. Also, buy these consoles from reliable shops only. I'd avoid shops selling anything remotely pirated unless you really know their business practices.

just sell it off, lots of ppl wants em.. Esp if its a jasper and get a new unit.

Better still go over to the darkside ;p

I also bought a modded Xbox as the sales person said is better as more choices of games are available coz the price of a pirated game is cheap. Well, in a way he's tryin to earn more from repeat sales of his pirated games but at the other hand he's also giving me the chance to play more games coz he knows an original game is very costly. I played happily all this while until I started to play COD. The game is awesome. I started to feel regret coz I can't logged on to Xbox live to play online. I'm now a big fan of COD MW2. I'm also thinkin the same question, can I unmod my Xbox? Well, if can't I jz need to trade it out and get a new one. Anyone got other options for me?

No other option. trade & change then respect the game developer by paying them. not to pirate sellers.

i dont think buying unmodded 360 will be a good idea because the games are costly..its simple- modded 360 save money but cant use xbox live, -unmodded 360 can use xbox live but costly games.. I prefer modded one, i rather miss xbox live then spending hundreds on buying games.. I prefer buying ps3 than buying unmodded 360 bcoz its cheaper, comes with hdd, high quality, can play blue ray disc but same game price... This is only my opinion, no hard feeling..
