instead of using the > flash : fben command
you need to use the > restore : rben command... followed by the serial you used

example > rben 1234567 12345


i'm curious tho.. what is the reason for flashing back??

[convict0]

well to be honest i thought flashing back would not get u banned but i know u still can get banned
thanx im gona try that now

do i change this file name BENQ-OFW.BIN to BENQ-ORIG.BIN

[sadalius]

Leave it named benq-ofw.bin. Thats how the program wrote it when the firmware was dumped, so thats what it will be looking for when you run the restore.

if u are flashing back because you think there is an update to collect - there isnt
yesterdays downtime was due to server maintanence /preperation for the update/ if u are flashing back & waiting until the update is released then that is not expected for another 6-12weeks

which is fine if u prefer to err on the side of caution.. & i'm just letting you know

[convict0]

thank u very much i got it to orig i was using the d instead of the r woo hoo so i was on the right track question is it worst to get banned from m$ with the hacked 360 or the original firmware or both wich is worst im guessing the hack ware
also yea i was reading on a sit were m$ is just getting things ready for the update

and would this be a good thing to flash back to original firmware before the m$ update

also learning how to flash back to orig is a good thing its easier than i thought

so if i wanna flash back to to flash hackware i will put dben

To have your console banned has no worse consequence. Whether you have hacked firmware installed or stock firmware and Microsoft gets a log that show you had a hacked firmware, those consequences are still the same. The console gets banned. Your xbox live account will still work on another console, just not the one that got banned. So either way, there is no "which is worse" when it comes to getting banned.

And yeah, if you want to go back to the hacked, just use the fben command. You already have the hacked firmware, so unless you delete it, you can just flash it back.

The commands are thus:

dben -- this command dumps the firmware and creates the hacked firmware.
fben -- flashes the hacked firmware to the drive.
rben -- restores the firmware that was dumped back to the drive.

Wow, that was easy

ok thanx much lol

way easier than i thought
