Xbox One S console banned.

Goliath Slayer2 · Jun 8, 2018

I bought a used One S from an individual. When I try to set it up after resetting it, it tells me that "Your console is banned ". Is there a way for me to fix this?

No, if you are sold the Xbox one via a store and you did nothing wrong, you will not be banned. They broke the terms, not you. Xbox is not banning people playing early.Click to expand...

It's not a permenant ban but those that have received a retail console early and connected it to the net have had it banned.

Secondly, yes, as a new member I'd expect that, but ive already found a trade off one of my regular forums. Just a friend recomended this place so I thought I'd try it.

Thirdly, dev consoles are different and cant connect to XBL at all. However, doesnt mean devs dont have early access to retail consoles.

And finally, all review consoles are retail versions. Plenty of those exist. Hence how I got mine.Click to expand...

They are banning people but only until release when the console is unbanned.

You would have to try returning it. Console bans are not reversed.

No. Console bans are permanent and not reversed even in the event that there is a new owner. It is likely why the individual was selling the Xbox in the first place.

Can I still be banned if I purchased an Xbox console second-hand?

Yes. The warranty on a second-hand Xbox console is void, and the purchaser assumes the risk for any previous modifications or unauthorized activity. Even if the console’s ownership has changed, the console may still be subject to a ban. If you purchase a
console that has been previously banned you will not be able to connect to Xbox Live, and the ban will not be lifted as a result of the change in ownership. We recommend customers who believe they have not committed actions on the service to warrant a ban
to contact previous owners or users of the console.

If you have purchased or intend to purchase a second-hand Xbox 360, you can check its current ban status by entering its serial number into the Console Check Tool. Please note that the current absence
of a ban does not preclude the possibility of future enforcement action.

Your only option would be to return the Xbox to the seller for a refund and use that money to buy a console that hasnt been banned from Xbox Live.

Yep and I suggest you stop buying from shaddy dealers

Inserting an non xbox hd to emulate a offical one can result in a console ban

Moding a non xbox s hd to work in an xbox s is a serious violation and can also result in a console ban

The enforcement team do not use the forums.

Sounds like a account suspension/ban,not a console ban.If it was a console ban then none of the accounts would be able to sign in on that console.

An email would of been sent to the address linked to your account telling the reason or you can check on the
enforcement site where you can also file for a case review if eligible.

Hi,

What point are you trying to prove?

Microsoft can deactivate a console from connecting to Live, but this is only done as part of a console ban for breaching the ToS.

They're not deactivating Xbox 360's so you'll have to buy an Xbox One or a Series X|S console on purpose, if that's what you're thinking.
