Ok yes I entered the command wrong. But I have now this problem:

after I press yes, I get some error, and than I turn on the 360. The eror goes to D1 than to D80 for 1 sec.

And than it keeps C53 and D1 if I am correct...

Nothing flashing nothing dumping  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif)

I will go later to somebody that have a compatible card so we can flash it again. Right know he have several other consoles to flash, and after that is my turn  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .
It should work, i hope so.

And?
almost a day later, did it work?

Good - i'll have an updated firmtool by next Tuesday - going away this weekend, sorry guys.  However, alinush is the only user i know of that has had this issue, so it doesnt seem to be very common.

i've run into a problem when using 'make ixtreme' command. it starts up fine, reading orig.bin, then tells me that a vaild key was not found. any ideas? also not playing originals or backups at the moment but able to play dvds after initially flashing a fubared ix fw.

never mind guys, all 7's in 360fwtb... off to walmart

this really was easy with your help,,,I've done 5 now
the only thing you should change is your info on how to make the dos floppy....you don't say anything about boot98 so your floppy will load

I used dosflash32 in windows XP and it was succesful. Via VT6421A drivers were NOT installed. Used port nearest power button. Found port number under Storage>SCSI in Msinfo32 when the drivers were installed (not present when no drivers installed). Just followed instructions in the BenQ firmware download. Took 3 minutes. Did not disable sata or ide in bios (which some posts suggest).

However, I'm noticing some strange behaviour with the firmware. It will sometimes load games fine and other times report that the disc is unreadable. I'm not using verbatims so I will get hold of some to see if that is the problem. These were read perfectly well though with Stealth 5.2. Also the load speed does not seem to be as fast and video/gameplay keeps jittering which also didn't happen. I'm using the Fast firmware.

Anyone else having this problem?

type the dosflash16 command
answer yes on the question and get a "0x7F" status
turn on the 360 and wait for the status to start changing inbetween 0x51 and 0xD1
turn off the 360, the status'll stop at 0xD1
wait 2 seconds (I counted to three slowly) and turn the 360 on, and it'll start reading

...Did you do it like this?

 
I tried this but mine continues to change between 0x51 and 0xD1 but never starts reading what am I donig wrong.

I'm lost, I've spent well over 24hrs on tryin various ways to get my benq to work and 4 different computer systems using sata/ata controller. I can get into dos using USB and floppy and got to read the benq and then reboot system into windows; now I'm to using Benq iXtremev1.1, every time I use "Make iXtreme firmware" it says "No valid version found in orig.bin!!! Program aborted."     Can anyone help me with this, I've tried searching many of pages and Haven't found a good answer for this problem.... btw I'm using the noob tutorial walkthrough on this. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that orig.bin is in the same directory as the .bat file?
Are you sure you created a good backup of your current firmware?
Are you sure that you didn't write any other firmware to your XBOX and maybe read it again and overwrote the orig.bin?


Just the overall question, are you absolutely sure that orig.bin is really the original firmware from the drive when the XBOX was shipped to you.

[caster420]

No valid version means just that, no valid version.

Firmtool supports the following drive versions for your original firmware source:
Hitachi: v40,v46,v47,v59,v78,v79
Samsung: ms21, ms25, ms28
Benq: Any version from 60001-69999

So, unless the top of your benq drive has a FW revision that doesnt meet that criteria, or it has a different orientation than other BenQ version strings, then i'd say its a bad dump.  

Here is a link for verifying your BenQ firmware using a hex editor.  If firmtool doesnt work, i would recommend trying this, and/or loading it with 360 Firmware Toolbox and see if it is recognized.  If it is, send me a PM because i want to see your orig.bin.

Caster.
