I looked around for a good tutorial on how to flash a Benq Drive and the ones I found seem a bit different. I have done a few hitachi drives with slax 2 and toolbox and this is a bit different and I don't want to screw it up. I would feel better if someone who has done it to send me to a good tutorial link. If you don;t mind. Also any pointers would be great.
heres how i go about flashing all of my benqs.
step 1: put USB stick into USB slot
2: open up iPrep
3: load firmware definition (1.4.1)
4: select drive letter from drop down box
5: hit make bootable
6: shut down computer
7: deassemble 360 and hook the dvd drive up to the PCI card
8: turn computer on, boot off the USB stick
9: follow command prompts (it will put the orig.bin on the USB stick after you run the dben 1234567 12345 command.)
10: shut down 360 and computer and restart into windows
11: open up Firmware toolbox and make sure the FW it dumped is a legit one. if so move on, if not do as i said before to copy and paste a legit key in it.
12: restart computer and boot off the USB drive.
13: follow command promts and run the fben 1234567 12345 command to erase/flash the drive with the 'hacked' firmware.
14: shut down 360 and computer
15: put a burnt game in it to make sure it plays.
16: if it plays, put 360 back together
17: if it doesnt play games, see if it will play original games then restart computer off the USB drive, hook 360 back up and run the rben 1234567 12345 command to restore it to original shape. and start over.
once you open up FWTB, open up your FW in it on the main page, and if its something like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF or 777777777777777777 then its a bad dump.
to fix this, just go into your backup folders that iprep made when it dumped it and open one of them up, they should be something like asf9ds76af8a or something with letters and numbers. just copy that key, reopen the 'original' one up, and paste it over that and hit replace key. then i always close down FWTB and reopen it to make sure it pasted the key correctly.

Thank you for your help guys. Just finished it and it was pretty simple after you figure it out. actually easier than an hitachi. Sorry I was not responding to your help. I was reading it from my tablet PC on the go and had no real keyboard to type. but now I do so thank you guys for your help.
