Hi, I just bought a 360 Fat, and the seller said to me the 360 has LT 3.0, runs original games and backup games without problems. I want to play online and update this Xbox, is there any risk of ban or the chip is going to be deleted? Has 2.0.17559.0 Interface, I am new hacking on 360, it's my first time I own a 360.

Did you ask the seller? ask him first. He is the person who knows how/what he installed on it. Maybe you will lose the LT if the xbox360 gets udpate, you need to erase the LT 3.0 from the dvd drive before update , install Microsoft update and then reinstall the LT 3.0.You will need to do that every time a new dashboard update comes out.
But ask the seller and find out before try anything, you could either lose the LT or get banned if you go online and try to update if the xbox360 doesnt have any protection.

I'm sorry, I am new on hacking 360. How do I reinstall LT? Is there a tutorial how can I reinstall LT and update the 360? I asked to the seller and he told me it's fine to playing online, there is no risk of banning. He told me also has LT 3.0 as far he remembers.
Tomorrow I will remplace thermal paste, so I will check what chip it's installed. How do I know what chip has installed?

I answered your questions/doubts, i told you to ask the seller and collect as much info as you can from him, if you dont get me what i need to know i can't help you.
Have you been online?
Is the xbox banned?
LT doen't require any chip to be installed, you need to connect your dvd drive to your pc and you need the tools and the program to do that. But i cant point you to any direction if you dont get what i need.
Next time buying ask questions before buy anything please.


its recommended to flash your xbox to stock before updating your dashboard cause it may lead you to getting banned online but if you are already banned online or dont care about online there are no risk.

No, I haven't been online yet.
No, the console isn't banned.
I asked before buying and he just told me that.
I haven't updated yet neither. All I just did was test backup 360 games and original and worked both.

isn't 17599 the latest? it's been a long time, but from what I remember, you don't have to reinstall or uninstall the dvd firmware unless it was 13599.
How can I know what version I have? Do I have to connect it to the PC and use a tool?

iirc, you can use jungle flasher to check the firmware version, but if you mean dash kernel, it's in system settings. I think you're fine. is it asking you to update or something?

Not really. I just want to update it and also want to play online some games, and know if there is any risk of ban using backup games.

never been banned, but I'd imagine you'd get a message signing in.
Yeah, sometimes.

2 options now.
1-Go online and try to update dashboard and see if backups still working.
2- Get info from the seller cause he knows what he did before sold the console.
its up to you now.

yes, it's the only way to know for sure. I know you can use I think the serial number to unlock parental settings by filling out this small form online. I don't know about checking if you're banned in some way.
