Maximus - FIRMWARE TOOLBOX V4.5 - BETTER BENQ SUPPORT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
MAIN NOTE:

THIS TOOL DOES NOT MAKE YOUR VAD6038 DRIVES RUN BACKUPS ON ANY WAY, THERE IS NO
RELEASED IXTREME NOR XTREME FIRMWARES FOR VAD6038.

THIS TOOL NEITHER ALLOW DIRECT READING/FLASHING OF THE VAD6038 FIRMWARE
YOU STILL NEED DUMP THE FIRMWARE WITH DOSFLASH Tools or with external programmer.

Special thanks to Modfreaks who send me a lot of Retail VAD6038 Dumps to test.

If you also want to contribute to make better toolbox send any new firmware to:
noemail@removed.com make sure is a 360 drive's firmware that is not currently
supported by toolbox (Unsupported BRAND, Unsupported ROM VERSION, etc).


WHATS NEW ON V4.50:

- FIXED: Properly support Handling of VAD6038 Firmwares (see notes).
- FIXED: Previously Hitachi spoofed drives were not visible on toolbox anymore
now you can see it and unspoof it or re-spoof them
- FIXED: Several other bugs

Release Notes:

The VAD6038 firmwares are tricky, the KEY could be placed on too many places, and
the code locations could vary a lot between same ROM drives. (Like on Hitachi 78/79
drives but on VAD6038 there are a lot o of posibilities)

This Toolbox support the 2 retail VAD6038 firmware versions known till now.
(62430C and 64930C). You can now:
- Read / Extract Keys
- Spoof Samsung/Hitachi drive as Benq
- Spoof Benq drive as Hitachi/Samsung

No emails allowed - even if they're not yours.
Post a link to send the firmware if you can.
