I have a benq vad6038 in my x360 console, i took it out and used the vcc method (the one where you cut the traces and solder a switch)as i dont have via or nforce chipset, all went well, i then used dosflash to read my drive it worked 100%, so i then flashed my drive with benq ixtreme firmware and reconnected the traces, the installation went ok the only problem was when i put it back into my xbox the drive didnt open or read discs, so i took it out thinking it was a bad flash and reconnected it to the computer, now it keeps saying mtk vendor intro failed then i press y to go past it and it picks up the drive and shows it in the list, so after that i select the drives number and it says "Unknown Flash Chip!" OMG could somebody please help me or nudge me in the right direction i have easily spent over 15 hours with this problem.
oh yes its out there here is the link [url=http://beta.ivancover.com/wiki/index.php/Xbox_360_BenQ_VAD6038_Flash][/url] it puts the vad6038 into recovery mode though is unadvisable seen im having so many problems.
would anyone like to help me out?...
Sounds like your drive took a bad flash, I would reflash it, or try a different flash if one is available. I had a problem with Ixtreme1.4 and a samsung so I tried Xtreme53 and it worked so I just use that.
thanks for the reply wilmero, but the problem is i cant get it to work now, im using dosflash 1.6b and it wont erase or write or read the firmware, i try dosflash in manual mode with the following, "dosflash w ea00 1 a0 1 4 a:\orig.bin 0" but it just goes to mtk vendor so i reset the 360, then it says writing bank 0... and hangs for hours this also happens with erase.
