So basically I'm in the process of trying to flash my BenQ. Here are my chipset specs -
I'm using IPrep v008.8 (latest) with iExtreme 1.5. I'm trying to follow the tutorial on klutsh for BenQ but when I get to the first step of reading the drive with DosFlash, this happens -
Seems it isn't picking up my BenQ drive? Can anyone help me with this, I'm a pretty big noob :P. And yes my drive is connected to the comp through a SATA and is also on while I'm trying this.
I think the reason it is not being detected is because of an issue with the BIOS. In your BIOS can you change the Sata Legacy mode from enhanced to compatitable, or maybe try adjusting anything that has to do with your sata ports.

Yes. Try disabling the RAID.
Ok so I tried that and I also tried grounding this time (XBOX on top of the PC so their metal is touching, I'm assuming you know :P). I got a little further (once again sorry for mediocre photo my phone does mandatory flash so I gotta cover it lol):
It cuts off, but it says there seems to be a BenQ and tries the Magic28 but it seems that fails too :/. Not sure exactly what to do when it asks for an ATAPI drive #.
Hey bro just go to xbins and get the older iprep and just get the new ixtreme 1.5 benq and u will also get the XML update definitions and prepare your flash drive ,,then u just boot from USB and type dben 1234567 12345 and it should tell that the benq should b off and press enter to continue then it should tell you if you want to resend mtk vendor and press y then wait 5 seconds turn the xbox on and it should read your key just do the same to flash but just type fben 1234567 12345 ,,,pm me if u need any help
I'm not for sure what this new version of iPrep is trying to do. But like someone else said, try using version 6. Or I would recommend DosFlash 1.7 beta.. it is very easy to do.
just use jungleflasher in xp. I did it with a benq the other day, and i've got an intelchipset. it comes with the 1.5 firmware.
I used this tutorial, it couldn't get much easier.
