Benq Flash Problems.... Help!
« on: November 09, 2008, 06:59:00 PM »

iam tring to flash a BenQ drive using iprep, i have made the bootable USB stick with noproblems but i cannot get the original firmware to dump. I boot up iPrep enter the command to read firmware and serial number, then it asks if i want to resend a command untill the drive responds, i press Y and then switch on the 360, the status goes to D1 as it should, i then turn off the xbox for a few seconds and then back on and the status changes to 0xF3 and just stops, i then have to reset PC and Xbox. From what i have read the status should change to 0x73 and then go on to start reading the firmware.

Why might this be happening? why do i get status 0xF3 when it should be 0x73? I have searched this and other forums and cant find an answer anywhere. Please help!!!

Thanks, Stickybudd...

Hi

I´m having the same problem again and again.
It´s equal to yours.
Gives Status D1 ok
I turn it on and toggles between 0x52 and OxD2.
The 4 results that shoud appear never appear.
I shut th power off the drive and stays d2
I cant find either the solution to resolve it.


Help please please  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

guys, read this thread to flash your benq drive with any sata chipset and from within windows, http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=659942, the method described in the textbook is old, there is a new way Podger and the gang came up with that involves sending the keys to unlock the drive, just read the thread and mainly follow the steps described in http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?sho...942&st=105#
I guarantee you, these steps are easy and work like a charm.
