Just wondering if an Xbox slim with the following message can be fixed?
"Sorry, this console can't play until your subscription payments are up to date."
It appears that this was one of those 99.00 deals with a live contract for 2 years which was never paid off, thinking if I gan RGH this thing and flash a retail Nand back to it if it would work again maybe not online but as RGH or just a regular console?
The message will pop up in about a minute regardless if I have an internet connection or not. I already tried formatting the onboard storage and flushing the cache so there must be something in the Nand that tries to phone home and if it can't the message still pops-up.
I did call Microsoft to see it they could tell me how much was left tp pay on the contract and they said "I need to know the account used to sign-up for the 2 yr agreement" they also told me that there has been alot of this where people are buying the consoles for 99.00 and selling them on Ebay for 200.00 or more, some with sealed boxes that run into this about a month after purchase.
I am guessing I am probably screwed! Is there anyway to bypass this, i even bought a new keyvault and still get this message with a brand new serial number.

Try sending a message to the ebay seller. If microsoft can't do anything about it good luck!

I think it's one of those $99 dollar consoles that microsoft had the deal for, there must have been some kind of contract.

Sorry to see this man, but you bought a bricked console. If you don't know the account info related to that subscription, there's nothing you can do. Best thing I'd say to do is try contacting the seller about getting your money back and sending it back.

he replied "I sold you a working rgh, an rgh is a hack to allow unsigned code, xell is an unsigned code. The console works fine, rgh has nothing to do with online" and thats why he wont refund me.
