So I decided to flash my benq drive using jungleflasher. I open it up, hit intro/device id. i hit yes, turn on then off. it detects my drive. but the weird part is, when i try to read the drive afterwords it says invalid selection UNLESS i hit the read button immediately after opening and closing the drive. then it worked.
once i detect the drive, i have about 5 seconds before it fails to read/write to the drive.
i dont want to attempt to write to the drive, considering if it fails it'll mess up my drive. this is soo weird.
im using nforce4, well i went ahead and tried to flash. i got past the first writing phase of 64 dots or whatever, then it froze after that. i booted up my 360, my copied media played to the loadscreen. then gave me a disc read error. i know these discs work, because ive tried them before in another modded xbox. im assuming it was a bad flash.
i tried dos32, it attempted to use magic28 to unlock which didn't seem to work.
jungleflasher still seems to be detecting my drive and i have the orig firmware so im sure im not screwed. do you have any other suggestions for writing firmware? i think i seen a video of a command line typed program to do it. what is this?
Dosflash 32 and 16. If your having problems, download Iprep, make a usb boot disk with the iExtreme fw(Iprep will do this for you, just make sure you have the fw and it will put everything on the usb drive). Hook up your drive, start computer, boot from USB(either set it first in the BIOS or on some computers you can hit ESC to enter one time boot menu, then choose your USB drive, and run Iprep, follow instructions onscreen. Its the same a Dosflash 32 but with Dos only, no windows. Helps as Windows has a pesky way of interfering. Search around here, you'll find many tuts on how to flash a BenQ with Iprep.
If you download Iprep and try to load the iExtreme firmware and it tells you its not valid, you downloaded an older version of Iprep. Look for the updated definitions file and replace the one in the Iprep folder with it.
Just a little info to help you out if you should run into that problem, I know I did.
