I am using iPrep to try to flash. When trying to dump the original firmware I cannot. When I am supposed to plug in the 360 and get 0xD1/0x51, I do, but when I unplug it and plug it back in I get 0xD1/0x51 again, I never get 0x73. Sometimes before the toggling continues after I plug in the 360 0x80 will flash. Iprep says my SATA card is compatible with Dosflash and MTK Flash. What do I need to do to fix this?

nah, i use iprep on all the benqs i flash, easier and faster for me.
but what are you unplugging, the drive, or the cord to the wall? if its the cord, just leave it plugged in and turn it on and off via the power button the front of the console.
my way of doing a benq:
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.
