dude my baby never got banned on cause I don't enable the chip to go live...chip remains in sleep mode once it's on live, and offline the chip is on

And people has been lucky and still on Live with custom firmware since day one. Just cause you have been lucky so far means nothing once you find yourself banned anyway.
Since it seems they can now detect backups OFFLINE and online that fake chip of yours wont be any help to you at all.
And since many people from last falls ban wave that had those same fake chips got banned it is more than likely they have been able to detect backups offline for some time now.
