Yeah what he said,
That is why i would like to know what to do and if my mobo would be compatible, in my post on page 3 i stated what my mobo is.

I know this isn't the area i just want to know if it will be compatible,
then i will go to newb area and request for help.

But i want to know if it is worth the new topic first.

I think,the best way to know if it work or not is to trying.

My mobo is not on list but it work,not forget to try all sata port,but in all case only the boot port can work,for example on my mobo i have 4 sata port (2 black and 2 red) only port 1 (boot hard drive) and port 3 (cd/dvd player) work.

Sound advice, try it and tell us if it worked.

There is no harm in trying to dump the drive and asking on here if the dump is valid.

Verifying that way beofre flashing, therefore helping others with the same mobo who actually use the search function to find out there answers - and maybe getting it added to the 'known working motherboasrds' list

You cant break it dumping the firmware! Well, never under estimate the power of the noob

Yeah but i don't really know how to get started,
i have my xbox open and everything.

But i don't know how to use this program to get it to flash cause i have a benq, and im pretty sure my chipset isn't via or nforce.

[OggyUK]

Post #2, #24 and #32 would be a good start.

[mjstriker5]

Nevermind. Must have gotten caugth up in the excitement of flashing a lite on. This is only for benq. not the lite on.

it worked fine for me unlocked the drive on an Intel ich5 chipset couldn't get the sata info off slax but luckily i got the fixed I/O addresses off a pdf on the Intel website they worked fine it had the addresses for when the ports are set to legacy so all well hope everybody else gets this to work for them.

Okay i'm gona need some help here.

So for started I got my drive hooked up to sata port 1 (but for some reason dosflash read the drive as if the drive is connected to sata port 2 since it gives me I/O address 0170 as the one that VAD is connected to...) anyway so I did the unlock command and all I get is alot of line of no error and thats it when I get back into dosflash and I try to read I get an error that it cant read the firmware....

what am I doing wrong here?

P.S
on my mother board I dont have legacy mode I have compatible mode or native mode to select but i guess compatible mode is the same as legacy mode right?

Thank you all for your help in advance!

[OOkladek]

BTW darren4004 I have the same motherboard as you do so I see no reason why this shouldent work for me.... :-/ hope to get this resolved fast

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have the same problem...
I launch Benq_unlock and I get is a lot of line of "no error" (28 exactly for 28 codes I think).

I launch dosflash32 and I get the same error : MTK Vendor intro failed on port 0x....

it's strange...

Thank you in advance !

Worked great for me, took a bit of trial and error. Intel ICH9.

170, 376 (command, control)

Someone else posted that on their ICH9 it was 1F0 and 3F6 (command, control).

This leads me to believe that you can take your command address, add 2 to the first digit, leave the second digit alone, and add 6 to the last digit to calculate your control address.

Once again, this is for Intel ICH9.

KaosRain:
170, 376
1F0, 3F6

these are the default ports for legacy IDE... they are pretty standard....

Thanks for the information, I didn't know this. Previously, the following combinations had been posted as working for Intel ICH5:

1F0, 3F4
170, 374

Haloskinner and I have ICH9, and while our command ports matched the above, our control ports differed:

1F0, 3F6
170, 376

That's why I noted how to figure out the control port for ICH9, because it seemed that it is chipset specific. And unless darren4004 mis-posted his addresses, it still seems that way. For the record, I wasn't referring to the command ports being chipset specific.

QUOTE(darren4004 @ Aug 31 2008, 06:03 PM)

Sure podger the fixed addresses for legacy mode are;
primary command port 01f0h secondary 0170h
primary control port 03f4h secondary 0374h i just took the H's off the end of the address

QUOTE(darren4004 @ Aug 31 2008, 06:21 PM)

this should work for you then when your in the benq cmd type benq_un_lock 01f0 03f4 if your using sata port 1 or benq_un_lock 0170 0374 if your using sata port 2

QUOTE(haloskinner @ Aug 31 2008, 09:05 PM)

Command:1F0 Control:3F6

[haloskinner]

On my mobo it would not flash on certain sata ports,Only worked on port 1.
