Hi, ive looked here and there in the forum but i couldn't find any answer to my question:

I have two 360s, a Slim one fully working, and a Fat one, banned from the live because it has LT+.

I bought FM4 ad started playing on the slim one, online and offline.

I created a fake profile on the fat one (obviously disconnected from the internet) and modded its savegame (adding money and levelling up to 150).

On the slim account, i bought with my legit ingame credits some vinyl groups, some liveries and some other stuff.

I want now to unlock and transfer the saves regarding the liveries, the vinyls and the settings from the account on the Slim one (the legit one), to the offline (Fat 360) profile, in order to see how some vinyls are made step-by-step, to be able to replicate them on the legit account without any possible risk to get banned.

Can anyone show me the procedure to do this?

I tried to copy the Groups and Liveries files via Horizon from the usb drive which contains the legit profile to another usb drive which contains the offline profile for the banned 360, but as soon as I start the game, it freezes when I try to load the vinyls...

Please help.

Also, if you find this interesting, feel free to suggest this as a way to have nice and beautiful designs without being banned!

They a dozen or more posts asking about this, including one by me.
A number of people on this forum say they've done this, but not one of them will explain how they do it.

But least i can offer you a workround
Make a back up of your 'real' (legit) profile.
Then edit a copy of that backup however you want.
Place that on your Phat (banned) xbox and use it as your offline porfile.

That way anything you buy from the SF with your real profile, can be moved to your Phat xbox and accessed by the offline profile.

Just be careful not ot move your profiles about.
I think thats how I got my ban.

TBH, no matter what you do there is always a chance of a ban... I have modded my money and level at first I was banned, but I then un-banned my self and I have modded my money to 200mil and it's been awhile I'm still not banned...

If you mess around with money, you'll get banned for sure!

I'd say that if I unlock a layer group and load it on my phat 360 (offline), then I can replicate step-by-step on the online profile, this way there's no chance to get banned!!

This sounds a good idea, how do I transfer my profile from the first xbox to the second?

If you only unlock the designs and vinyls without putting them in the Storefront or auction house, what is the risk of being banned?

This sounds complex but it isn't really.

I did it by 'Moving' my real profile from the Xbox HDD to my USB drive.
Then plugged the USB into my PC and used Horizon to 'Extract' the profile to my desktop.

I then 'Moved' my real profile from the USB drive back to the Xbox HDD.
Then I plugged the now empty USB drive back into the PC and used Horizon in 'Inject' the backup copy from the desktop on to the USB drive.

Then lastly, I 'Copied' the 'livery cat' and 'car setup' files from my Xbox HDD to the USB drive.

Then when I started Forza I chose which profile you want to use HDD or USB.
Thats how I made my mistake of going on-line with the modded profile.

If you move your files from the USB to your 'Banned' Xbox you can't make that mistake.
p.s. that backup copy on your desktop, make sure you keep it somewhere safe.

Thats what I was doing and all was OK till I mixed up my profiles. (see above)
So you 'should' be resonably safe. But theres always a risk of being banned if you mod any games files.

This is very helpful. Thank you for your response.
