I successfully flashed my benq drive about 6 months ago. It was my first attempt at flashing and only time I have flashed a 360. I would like to upgrade to the new firmware but I am a little confused, the method I used before was I used iprep 101 version 006. My question is do I need to just do the same thing I did before read the firmware backup and then flash or do I need to use jungle flasher to modify the firmware with the original back up and then flash it? I would prefer to use the method that I used before but if someone can point me to a tutorial for a different method if needed I would appreciate it. I am just very nervous about messing with the xbox if its not broke don't fix but I would like to go on live and not get banned! Thanks

If you are only doing this one I would stick with what you know. However you will need to update the iprep definitions (it's a file you put in the iprep program files) but yes you do the same thing you did last time. But if you are looking for a easier way then DosFlash32 is the way to go.

You will need:
DosFlash32 v1.7
Firmtool 1.3
ixtreme 1.5

1. Download DOSFlash32, Firmtool1.3 and Ixtreme 1.5 BenQ FW.
2. Disconnect all drives except the BenQ. (Makes identifying a lot easier).
3. Connect 360 the drive to your mother board SATA.
3. Start DOSFlash32 (should find the BenQ drive).
4. Click yes if the port displayed is the one your BenQ is connected to. If it is not the correct port click no until you see the correct port.
5. Select read and click "Read Flash" at the bottom. It will ask you to select the save location. Create a file titled "Firmtool" on the root of your C: drive and save the read flash file as "orig.bin".
6. If all go well and ***SUCCESS*** is displayed if not check the file names and make sure you did not fat finger a command.
7. Copy and paste the ixtreme 1.5 FW to the firmtool folder (created in step 5) and also add firmtool.exe.
8. Open command prompt and change directories to the C:\firmtool.
9. Once in the firmtool directory type "firmtool orig.bin ix15Benq.bin (make sure your ixtreme FW is titled ix15Benq.bin or type whatever the name is) this will create the hacked FW.
10. Go back to DOSFlash32 and select write.
11. Now click "Write Flash" at the bottom and it will prompt you to select the FW you want to write. (Make sure you select the FW (ix15BenQ.bin) in the firmtool folder you just created) It will write to all 4 banks and once complete try a back up if all goes well you are good to go.

i did my one the way i did my originally and that was by using iprep 1.062 all you do is do the restore command first then backup command and finally the flash command easy as 1.2.3 stick with what you know and do it the way you did it originally if you used iprep 1.062 in the beginning use it now dont bother trying to use new tools the original way is easy enough
