Please can someone help me my head is melted i am having a problem flashing a benq 6038 drive. I am using the iprep 1.0006 programe, i am using the multi speed 1.1 c4eva firmware and i prep makes the bootable usb drive. I boot to dos my chipset is nvidia 680i and i have tried this on a nforce 4 chipset board exactly the same problem on both.I boot from my USB device fine into Iprep, there I go through all of the processes until I get to the "resend the command until the drive responds". I click y and then try the turn on, off, on technique but the numbers do not change. I immediatley get a Status: 0x7F message that doesn't change whether the drive is on, off. Nor does it seem to matter how long I leave the 360 on or off for.
So i tried this c:tools:dosflash this brings me through the motions of dos flash and i backed up the firmware 1st with dos flash then i wrote the 1.1 firmware to the drive using dos flash and it say all ok at the end. Basically when i put a copied game in the drive it comes up as as if i was putting an xbox 360 game into a normal pc drive  it play this video of microsft saying please put this disk into an xbox 360 i think i have turned the xbox 360 dvd into a normal dvd drive can any one help i backed up the the firmware before i did this why wont iprep work for me on either chipset. ps i tried dos flash 32 that just hangs both pcs

have you checked the dumped firmware?
Open it in toolbox 4.5 and see if there's a correct key and if the firmware is read correctly by toolbox.

Have you checked if originals still work??

originals come up as if there is something wrong with the disks and it tells me to open tray my backups come up as that little microsoft viseo please put this disk into an xbox 360 i know my backups work because they work on a 360 with hitachi drive, backups were made with xbc 2.7  i have ordered a via sata pci card off ebay maybe this will help me with iprep ?

yea it has to be the key or firmware then if dosflash told u it wrote successfully.  i had the same problem and i wasnt flashing the firmware at all! and i was getting the same error when i'd put games in. u know if u use dosflash by itself without iprep it doesnt make the new firmware for u u have to insert the key urself with the firmtool program.

Hey, I got a problem with my benq drive as well
I was using the same technique as the topic creator .
Everything seemed fine (Iprep gave me an error while doing the boot usb-stick, but it wrote what it was supposed to on the stick so I dont know if it counts), until I reached the last step, where I was supposed to write the hacked firmware.
I have an nForce chipset an I skipped a part with removing the original firmware but it seemed to be needed only for VIA
Basically when I was attempting the last step I got this:

Writing bank 0... ok
Writing bank 1.... ok
Writing bank 2.... ok
Writing bank 3 .... ok
Writing finished! 133329 errors encountered - was more or less like this

I tried to redo all of the steps, but I was getting errors that libraries are incorrect etc .

When I turn the console I get a E65 error. Is it possible that my benq drive is damaged? Is it recoverable?
If not, what to do to replace the drive with a new one?

Thanks in advance

Boot with your USB key and be sure to use the previous version of DOSFLASH 16, version 1.3.  Do not use the latest version of DOSFLASH (which i think is 1.4?).  It does not work in writing to the Benq drive for some chipsets.  It will always give errors.  The previous version of DOSFLASH works like a charm.

DOSFLASH latest version (1.4) will read your firmware correctly, so chances are your new firmware is ok, you just need to write it using the older dosflash.

hope this helps.  i had the same issue.

You need to erase first before you write the new firmware...at least, thats what a pal of mine had to do

he had like 40.000 errors and what looked like a brick. Erasing fixed it for him

Edit: he used a via6421 pci-to-sata card

i agree! I had the same problem, an all a changed was that i used the older dosflash1.3 for WRITING! and it worked...

[leerock1980]

ok problem solved what i did was open dos flash 1.3 erased the firmware restored the original firmware with dos flash 1.3 . then i used my friend old pc amd 939 mobo with nforce 4 chipset opened iprep and this time irpep worked firsttime no errors benq drive now u plays  backups relief (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) thanks to all who tried to help me cheers

I was stuck on the 0x7F part too, using the NTFS4DOS CD method that I found in Textbook's 'Hacking The Xbox  360 for Noobs' guide and a VIA 6421 PCI  I solved it by simply plugging my SATA cable into the slot on the INSIDE of the card, not the outer one which I had been trying it with. Not sure if that was the problem but it got my BENQ flashed OK doing it that way.

Hope that helps someone!!
