No, A console ban is permanent. Not even changing owners will lift a console ban.

What would happen?

You will have wasted about fifteen minutes of your life and your console will still be a huge paperweight.

Can you still update the console's software using offline methods once it is banned?

This was an option with the Xbox 360, in fact many game discs carried the console update that the game required to run. It meant even a banned console could still be used for single player gaming with the latest titles.

Presumably a banned console can still be used offline, but if you reset it, that will remove your account from the console and leave you with no way to get it back on there, so your console would become a brick basically (if it's not already).

Console bans are likely based on the serial number, which is linked to the entire motherboard of the console. A factory reset will not make the ban go away.

If you want to get back on Xbox Live, then the only solution is to buy a new console, and avoid any future bans by following the

Yeah,you can use a banned console offline as long as it was set as the home console & you put it in offline mode.
