ya know, when they make these firmwares, ( back up mods or whatever ) they should be made to not even allow the systems on xbox live. to also help prevent cheating on xbox live. Hopefully if ya are modded and do go onlive ya do get banned. These firmwares are for offline use only.

just a thought...

So your saying that playing backups online means people cheat?

Confirmed flash in windows xp with nforce motherboard. I had a few hiccups (in windows, yeah i know im an idiot) so if any of you have questions I'll try to help as much as I can. Thank you C4Eva for all your hard work!

Do all the Xbox 360 Arcade packs have the BenQ?

I've yet to purchase a 360 I want to mod. I have one now that has a Samsung that I want to keep as is and purchase another with a BenQ.

I'm in the UK so what are the best chances of getting one with a BenQ?

Works a treat
just what i did.. if anyone cares..

a) create a boot floppy (or usb etc) and just copy dosflash16 over and the benq1.1 directory

get the correct drive number, from msinfo, or use iprep to get the number, mine was d480. Its quite obvious when it pops up in iprep. You do not need iprep any more.

c)unplug sata drive, reboot go into BIOS (mobo) and change it to boot from USB/floppy etc as needed (i actually used a Mini SD card !!)

d) turn off machine, plug in xbox and connect drive to the first sata port, do NO switch on xbox

e) boot to floppy.

f) from the dos prompt A:\> i typed in:
dosflash r d480 1 a0 1 4 a:\orig.bin 0
(replace d480 if needed)

i) a prompt comes up.. hit yes
ii) turn on drive, wait 2 secs some hex codes will start changing
iii) turn off and wait 2/3 secs. hex code will now stay static
iv) turn on.. the drive will dump.
v) I did this two times to take two back ups.

g) create the ibenq fw, I just ran (from the fast directory):
firmwaretool a:\org.bin a:\benq\fast\benq-iax.bin
You will see the drive key etc come out, i guess you redirect if need to a file, or use another tool to read the key out (toolbox). I Now have the hacked FW in the fast directory.

h) reboot.. and run:
dosflash w d480 1 a0 1 4 a:\benq\fast\benq-iax.bin
Go thru the same on/off routine as f), then this will flash the drive...
However, mine flashed but came up with errors. I wanted a clean flash, so i:

i) (without rebooting etc) just typed:
DosFlash e d4801 a0 1 4 D8 0
ii) then reflashed:
dosflash w d480 1 a0 1 4 a:\benq\fast\benq-iax.bin
This worked.

Now just turn off the xbox unplug and good to go. (takes about 5 mins)

Well the Xbox360 drive database is bogged down right now, but as far as I read elsewhere, I think most of the Live Packs are Hitachi's.

That sucks. Do you know about the new HDMI consoles, specifically non-arcade ones? What percentage of them are Hitachis you think? ^^;

Respect and thanks to C4E for his expertise and time.....and also equal respect and thanks to Caster and the beta testers.
Not come across a Benq yet myself, but now I'm armed and ready.

hi , i just tryed the C4E's firmware and it didn't work for me , i extracted the oiriginal firmware from my benq drive
then i made an hacked firmware whit C4E's firmware and flashed my console , when i put a disk on my xbox it says "to play this disk put it on an xbox 360 console" any ideas?

PD : im using a Nforce motherboard
i tryed dosflash 16 and 32 , also fast and quiet

Sounds like you have a non-stealth disc. That will happen when you either have a incorrect DMI or Video. The other possibility is that you did not correctly transfer your key. Did you run the ix batch file? Or use firmtool via cmd line before flashing? Also, use xdvdmulleter to verify whether your disc is stealth or not. (view iso, disc, load, look on right hand side and check if the box 'ixtreme compatible' is checked)

QUOTE(Lehdrag @ Oct 28 2007, 07:33 AM)

Is there going to be a tutorial for this?

Who knows? There are already many many tutorials on how to flash your xbox360. The ONLY thing you need to know that is different is the dosflash command lines. Which are in the readme. If you have a VIA then you need to know the ports for the manual cmd in dosflash (read 2nd post of the dosflash v1.3 thread)
The best tutorial on xbox360 is textbook's. You can find it Here.

One more question, is it safe to spoof a samsung drive into a benq xbox and play it on live?

Yes.

QUOTE(halfazn333 @ Oct 28 2007, 07:39 AM)

sorry for being a total newbie when it comes to this cfw stuff for the 360...
does any one know if you can use a sata-to-usb adapter to flash the drives?

Possibly. As long as dosflash can see the drive, and you know the port for it, it should theoretically work. Try it and let us know.

fuch · « **Reply #103 on:** October 28, 2007, 11:52:00 AM »

This is my first time flashing a modded fw to a 360 drive... and it worked flawlessly

(6421A and DosFlash)

I did have to follow a burning tut on these forums to get the drive to read backups (layer break etc) but now all's good to go.

I can't thank all the contributors enough!

And maybe one day, we won't need to flash our firmware...
