I had a problem with iPrep 10.7 and benq. Thought I bricked the drive, because it was really slow loading etc. The banks reading took minutes. Then I remebered that I should boot my comp with the usb stick connected and with the sata connector "NOT CONNECTED" to the drive. The power to the...

Success!!!
After checking that the original firmware was good. I used Iprep's ben.bat file with the attribute "w" and all is honky dory

Thanks, I'll try that. I would still like to know if I can just do something like fben xxxxxx in the iprep to get to the flashing sequence with the ofw.bin I have. I hope it's good and I didn't brick my drive

Let me explain first. My flashing computer was very slow at all the functions. But it did get the original firmware that I saved on another scomputer. I also got the drive key off the drive. I hope it's right. I have 2 files in my backup folder and subfolders: BENCFW.BIN AND BENOFW.BIN. So I assumed...

So, in other words my Seagate 100GB is worthless here? How do people put 60GB or 120GB drives in ther units then? I was hoping to somehow be able to have a bit more space :) Also, I don't care that much about what I curently have on the 20GB, But I guess that's not an issue. It's what software the o...

I have a Seagate 100GB laptop HD and was wondering in I could swap it for the stock 20GB and then transfer all the data from it (it's not much) to the new one. I have DIYGadget connectivity kit v2 that has a drive attachment (that I haven't ever used, as I only used the other board in the kit for fl...

It turned out it was a faulty usb drive from Best Buy. It would not properly work when booting and then when reading/writing. After using another usb drive it all worked like a charm. Everything runs. I flashed 2 separate 360s today using this method. You, guys, are the best and quickest to give the...

I figured out.
After disconnecting the C drive in my comp everything went smooth.
I now have ixtreme 1.6.
Thanks again for your help

So I'm doing dsam and it's very slow in doing anything. It recognizes the drive and the find it, etc. All other drives are shown as NONE. I have, however and IDE drive C: still connected to my comp. After reading Banks 0-4 (they all show OK!) It tells me: Reading finished! DataSum AC10. Then it show...

Thanks for your advice.
I'll let you know if it went well

I am using iprep and will be upgrading from iXtreme 1.4 (or earlier) to 1.6. I have updated definitions for the newest iPrep but am confused if I need to somehow disable firmguard? Or do I just connect the drive with 1.4 on it and do dSam and then do fsam or wahtever the instructions say. Also I hav...

Big thanx to sedalius and CoFree for your help. I just replaced the bad MS28. It took me a few tries to get the timing right. In my case not 10 seconds but 15 was the magic trick both for dsam and fsam. Saved the origial.bin i thousand places, checked and rechecked that everything works. The rig pla...

And yes, since I'm already going ito all this trouble of finding all about all this flashin, etc. I'd like to be a able to play backups. I modded 3 original xboxes with X3 and still have 2 of them at home using xbmc to stream music/videos, etc. So now it's time to learn new tricks for the fun of it....

Thanks guys,
That's what I thought. I've read and reread the tutorials and I was getting more and more confused.
Thanks for making it clear for me.
I'll let you know how it all went

I need a clarification for this step I am replacing a bad Ms28 (that has not been modded) (that asks me to place a game disk into a xbox 360) with a new MS28 drive that I bought off ebay. According to the steps in the video and in the tutorials I will get the orig.bin when I do the dSam. I have alre...
