  1. Need help recovering my old Gamertag/Profile that I know exists, but doesnt....


    You ever have that problem when you play your xbox 360 for years then sell it without wiping your old profile off first? I did that a couple years ago and just purchased an Xbox One, however I can't seem to recover my profile. Now I understand there's
    plenty of resources for finding your email, password and gamertag by entering the correct info... but this is a strange one.

    I'll begin by saying I created a profile with a "GMAIL" account (not outlook, hotmail etc.) a few years back and it worked just fine. That email was connected to the gamertag: PineappleBaStRd. Now after I sold my 360, I ran into a couple opportunities
    to login to one of my friends xbox's and use that same profile. But shortly after that, something went wrong and I tried to sign into my account using my gmail and password, but microsoft told me that email wasnt valid. So to try to make this story a bit shorter,
    I searched the web for a way around it and made it work, but it involved creating a new account which gave me a new gamertag which is something retarded like "CurlioPluto" or whatever. It wouldnt bother me so much, except for the fact that I spent so many
    years building my game points/trophies and rep with my old gamertag that I kind of want it back.

    I've tried to find my way around this problem for a second time but keep getting stuck. I think microsoft is convinced that my current gamertag (way less cool) is the only one connected to my gmail account and therefore signs me into this crap account
    every time I try to log in. I just got an Xbox one to play with my old friends and who are familiar with my old gamertag so any help to recover it would be much appreciated. Thanks

    :)

  2. Looking for a Way Out of Gamertag Hell

    Long story short: My account/email got hacked, and I no longer have access to the Windows Live ID associated with my gamertag (I don't think it exists anymore). I started a new gamertag with a different email address.

    The only thing I want to do is somehow recover/transfer my old saved games from the old gamertag to the new one. I don't care about achievements or anything else.

    Does anyone know if there is a way for me to do this, or a way to tell MSFT that the old gamertag profile should be merged with the new one? Since the email address no longer exists, I can't log into Windows Live to change anything about the gamertag, and
    I can't do anything from with Xbox because it won't let me log into the old gamertag without first "recovering it" via Windows Live. It's incredibly frustrating.

    Thanks for any help/advice.

  3. Need Xbox account recovery help please - don't know my Microsoft account email for the account.

    Hi all,

    As it says in the title, I need help recovering/downloading an old xbox profile I had, I deleted it from my harddrive years ago. I know the gamertag, the password to the set email, the credit card details used on it at the time, but I don't know the set
    email address on it, so I can't do anything. I've contacted microsoft and they have said they'll call me back, but haven't yet.

    I'd really appreciate some help with this.

    Thanks, Zoey

    What happened to my Gamertag?

    This seems to have been created from a bug in the System. You MIGHT be able to recover your old gamertag using the recover profile feature on XBOX. If it has no records of your gamertag's existance, you might need to contact Microsoft or XBOX services about
    it. Be sure to include your inqueries and your recent download history. They Might be able to recover it.

    Gamertag not allowed to sign in anymore.

    i am having the exact same problem, their gamertag / profile was on a memory unit, we have XBox family account and they are being asked fow Live ID user and password, even entering it it doesnt allow it to sign in, it still says it needs to logon. Tried
    moving every profile back to the hard drive and nothing changed. I then deleted the profile in order to 'recover it' there is no longer recover gamertag, but recover profile... used that and it basically created a brand new one with a new gamertag no points!!

    i can still see his previous gamertag in my family dashboard though, but he cant login to it

    my windows live id is deleted, and i cant sign in to my gamertag

    my gamertag is in my hard drive, but when i select " connect to xbox live " it asks me to enter the WLID that is associated with my gamertag, but when i enter it, it says the WLID doesnt exist :(

    yes my original email is hotmail, and its : [REMOVED - DO NOT POST EMAIL OR WLID]

    if it is still recoverable, please tell me how can i recover it?

    not strictly a gaming question

    [quote user="Viva La Lamb"]

    yeah did the recovery, but now every type of gamertag i try to use says its in use then i friend req it and it says doesnt exist wtf?

    [/quote]Err..... that's not a recovery.

    First, delete your profile from your Xbox.

    Then go use the "Recover Gamertag" feature to log back in.
