FW is good.

key: 6B24C1AA0491C2EDBDF9E5A26725B24A

No FFF or 000, phew.

So what is going wrong?

Is it a problem with dosflash32 and my system?

Or is my FW just not supported yet?

ok now that we got that out of the way how are you creating you hacked firmware
also how are you flashing in windows or in dos

heyman421 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2007, 12:34:00 AM »

i copy the orig.bin to the 'fast' folder, and run the make firmware command.

then it creates a 2nd .bin inside the folder.

i've been flashing in windows...... i left my flash drive at work...

do you have a dos boot-cd you'd recommend?

bojangles1988 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2007, 12:38:00 AM »

hmm and you flashed the drive with the one that says benq-ix.bin. i would try flashing in dos

no sorry i use a flash drive (more reliable)

heyman421 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 03, 2007, 12:39:00 AM »

alright, i'm gonna try and find a dos boot-cd.

i appreciate your help. i was really freaking out.

i'll at least be able to sleep tonight knowing i still have an ok firmware.

this may take a while. my dos skills are rusty.

if i don't get back here till tomorrow, i really appreciate all your help, everyone.

i'm having the same problems.... did all reading, writing, erasing in dosflash16.

made firmware in win xp using the bat commands. using fast firmware. having the SAME problems. i have yet to try a backup (its burning right now) however originals do not run. no weird flashing colors on the xbox for me. i will try to flash with quiet n see if that works. sorry for the fragmented sentences.

also, i used this tutorial here. http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=628061

also used fwtb 4.5 and i get a key. everything looks fine. gonna try n flash quiet n see if it works...

gundamhr · « **Reply #21 on:** November 03, 2007, 03:01:00 AM »

problem fixed. i manually patched serial and key in firmtool with the fast version and original runs fine now. backup gives dirty disk problem. i'm fairly sure backup is bad. gonna try n figure out what's up.

the drive is MOST DEFINITELY noticeably louder. oh well...

gundamhr · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2007, 04:05:00 AM »

everything works fine for me now. forza 2 backup is perfect. using quiet manually patched with firmtool.

i've been trying to find it. nobody hosts anything newer than 4.0

wow if you cant find xbins I mean toolbox you shouldnt be flashing your drive at all

heyman421 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 03, 2007, 08:57:00 AM »

i am well aware of that site. they have an info file listed for 4.5 but no url.

i pulled the file off of my news-server, tho, and all is well.

to the last poster ^^ that's fantastic news, man. looks like the newest firmware isn't supported by the automatic patcher, is all.

So you just used fwtb 4.5 to manually patch your key to the fast firmware? And it works now?

What program did you use to flash?

Thanks in advance.

good job telling ms now you are banned buddy!

heyman421 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 03, 2007, 10:11:00 AM »

hahaha, sorry mr. gates

i used the firmware toolbox to manually patch the slow firmware, and now it works!

i can't get it to boot backups, but i'm gonna go to the store and buy some nice verbatim dl +r's and see if it's my discs.

Thanks everyone.

gundamhr · « **Reply #27 on:** November 03, 2007, 11:17:00 AM »

i used firmtool, not fwtb 4.5 to manually patch the key. this is what i did:
1. i kept orig.bin on my floppy, put firmtool on there, and also benq-iXa.bin *yes i used the fast one, but in my last post i said i used quiet*
2. in dosflash i erased the drive.
3. then i ran this command: "firmtool.exe orig.bin benq-iXa.bin"
4. went right back into dosflash. chose my benq vad6038, W for write, then enter. typed in "benq-iXa.bin"
5. tried it out, worked perfect, called it a night. if you use fast it is NOTICEABLY louder.

Heyman, first of all "Carlitosbaby" was trying to help you, you just didnt get what he was saying!

Second, I only use verbatim dvd´s. NO OTHER DISC´S GET ACCESS IN TO MY 360´S. Verbatim rules! So dont use those cheap shitty dvd´s, they often dont work and in some cases can damage youre laser.

heyman421 · « **Reply #29 on:** November 03, 2007, 05:39:00 PM »

Just wanted to update.

Picked up some 2.4x verbatim dvd+r dl discs, and now life is beautiful.

A little noisy, which makes me think the drive is working harder than it should.

Other than that, it was 3-4 hours of problem-solving well spent. Well spent indeed.
