Okay so about 2 days ago I was at my friends house and tried to recover my profile to play some RockBand and it said "Xbox live signup is currently unavailable please try again later." So I thought I don't really need that many achievements thats okay. Go home and try to sign in and it says "This account has not been fully recovered please recover it again" So I click recover profile. Sure after all of that it says again "Xbox live signup is currently unavailable. So I call tech support last night. They say to wait because Xbox is being repaired. So I wait and then while waiting I try some stuff. Well actually only one thing. I delete my profile ( but not items. ) This could possibly remove my gamerpoints and saved games but I don't care I just want to play COD4. So then I go to bed around 4am and wake up at 10. called tech support again and notice that it didn't say "Hey, if you are experiencing troubles signing in we are already aware of this problem please hang up as we fix it" on the recorder and my hopes go up. So i hang up try to recover and it fails. So I recall them and I talk to somone ( after dealing with the annoying robot Max to get to them ) and they say to go to my System dashboard. I go there click on memory I click it. I was thinking no i'm not formating my HDD. they say push Y i push it. Then they say as fast as you can push X,X,Lb,Rb,XX. Then it says maintenance update. It updates and She says re-recover it. I do and go the second loading bar for my account. And as it gets about 2/7 in i say thank you it looks like it's going well she gives me a number ( which i put into my home phone but after a few secounds *beep beep beep* erased ) and sure enough 20 secound after she hangs up "Xbox live signup is currently unavailable please try again later...... If anyone has had this problem and fixed it tell me what they said.

I started a thread yesterday about network issues I'm having, and it looks like they're extremely wide spread. You're probably getting caught up in that. Not much you can do aside from waiting, or possibly trying it again and again it might eventually work (for things like downloading demos or logging in it seems like it might get in if you try it literally 15 times in a row, that sort of thing).

Was doing the same thing to me last night, but worked fine this morning. Just keep trying back now and again, it's annoying, but it works eventually.

Buy a memory unit. Safest way to use your account on other consoles.

You wont lose your gamerscore and whatnot, its connected to xbox.com and it will always be there. Xbox live is not working so thats why you couldn't recover it.
