Extract Key

When spoofing a firmware, leave the settings at the default settings. In this case, leave it set to Master Checksum.

As far as which version of Benq firmware to use, which one do you have? If there isn't one that matches yours in the retail section, get the closest above it. Always shoot for an upgrade as the 360 does not allow for downgrades. It all actuality, it isn't going to matter unless your trying to restore the drive back to stock. If your trying to flash hacked firmware, then you could get any retail firmware thats on thats listed for the benq's and it will work because the hacked firmware is all the same. If your trying to restore it to original, go for a version match or a version above what you have.

sadalius, are you sure it wont brick the dvd drive if i get the wrong/different firmware from that site?

Thanks

Nope, won't brick it. It might give you E65 on the 360 itself, but this is not bricked because simply flashing the correct firmware will fix it. Bricked is just that. Totally un-fixable.

So if i do get E65, i can just dump it and fben to get hacked firmware, correct (sameway as flashing/dumping STOCK original FW)?

[sadalius]

That should work fine. The hacked firmware is all the same revision. The only thing iprep does is run samtool which copies the key over. In all reality, the retail firmware from that site+drive key from the drive should work fine as well.

What revision of benq are you working with BTW?

[don]

The original firmware that was on my BenQ drive is not on that site, thats why im asking. So ill just get any benq firmware from that site, as you said and hopefully it should work, yea?

[sadalius]

I gathered as such. I was just curious as to the revision of the drive that you had was all.

[don]

So shall i go for it, get any benq fw from that site and then put the hack fw on it? Hope it dont mess the drive up...

[CoFree]

you need to get the firmware that is for your dvd drive.
i have not heard of that site before.
thats not to say there is anything wrong with it.
i get my stuff from here.

well it looks like the same site hmmm.

[don]

yea its the same Mr Cofree, but my firmware is not on that site.

[sadalius]

Does this drive that your working with not have ANY firmware on it or something? Again, what revision is it? Its on the label of the drive or should be.

[don]

It has no FW on it...

Can remember what rev. it is, but its not on that site, coz i had a look before.

[sadalius]

So what does the label on the drive say for its revision?

[CoFree]

don
take a picture of the top of your dvd drive (very clear)
post it up so we can have a look.

ps
we are not getting the info we need to help you.
If by chance you have a dvd drive that we dont know of.that would be some good info.

a good big,clear picture of the top cover

[don]

Ok ive opened both the xbox 360, one says FW VER: 64930C

The other one dont have a label, but have KEYS for BOTH of them.

**Both Manufactured Dec 2007 models and are BenQ drives**

[sadalius]

Chances are they are the same version. The 64930C firmware is on the team-modfreakz.com website. Use that one. It will work for sure.
