JTAG/RGH console users must take special precautions when connecting to Xbox Live in order to avoid getting banned instantly or within a few hours of connecting. Stealth server services such as Proto, XBonline, or Teapot exist to be a means of connecting "safely" to Xbox Live. Stealth servers will make your console appear as retail to the Xbox Live servers. Be aware that it is never 100% safe to connect to Xbox Live with a modified console and you may get your console and/or account banned. Alternatively, you can install a dual NAND mod in your console to have both a retail NAND and a modified NAND. The retail NAND can be used to connect to Xbox Live without requiring a stealth server. If you plan on playing offline, you can also block Xbox Live using this guide.

The most common reasons for bans are:

  • Connecting to Xbox Live without a stealth server
  • Earning achievements from homebrew while signed into Xbox Live
  • Modding in public and being reported by other users.

If your console does get banned, you will need to use a KV (Keyvault) from an unbanned console. You can find a guide on extracting and changing your KV here.
