Flashing to iXtreme v1.4

[sccrbrandon4788]

no, but if you saw my Computer thread you'd know i took my computer apart. but cofree and i talked last night and i switched my wireless card and my sata card when i put it back together, and last night i swapped them back. other than that.... idk.

I'm sure that using the dosflash commands manually would end with the same results. After, iprep is just scripted around dosflash. I know it got the original dump, but does dumping work consistently, or does dumping now have the same status code problem as attempting to flash?

[sccrbrandon4788]

depends. if i leave my xbox off until mtkflash, i get the 0x7f status. if i turn my xbox on when i turn my computer on, then turn it off when it says it needs to be off, type y, then turn it on, it dumps... but it just hangs after it gets done dumping.

Dude. Thats messed up...... Have you tried totally uninstalling the card and re-installing it? Probably won't make a difference at all, but you never know.

[sccrbrandon4788]

i havent, just been reinstalling the drivers. i'll try that in a few. need to eat right now.

[sccrbrandon4788]

ok, well i uninstalled the drivers, rebooted. installed the drivers again, rebooted. created iprep usb, boot up and it gives me that disk problem, trying to read from my floppy. i format and create bootable drive with the HP utility then use iPrep again. booted fine into iprep. dump went fine, but its still hanging after the dump.

you know for sure that the firmware you are dumpping is a good bin right.if you hook up the 360 it WILL play a orig game right.
banging my head on this one.

[sccrbrandon4788]

yeah, i've been restoring it to the original state after each failure at flashing. i wish i had another pc. my roommates wont let me mess with their's. what i dont understand is, why doesnt samtool startup? my usb drive looks like all the files are there.

i would for sure try a different computer

[sccrbrandon4788]

well i'll try to ask again, but one is always on WOW and the other doesnt like me messing with his stuff.

[sadalius]

If nothing else, try it the old flashioned way with the dosflash commands, like you did the first time around. If you haven't already tried it that way that is.

[sccrbrandon4788]

so can i not make my own hacked firmware? they have that "make your ixtreme fw" file in the x12 folder. and just rename it to benq-cfw.bin??

[sadalius]

you should be able to. Thats what I was talking about when I said try it the old fashioned way You would have to rename your benq-ofw.bin to orig.bin though.

man email me a copy of you orig firmware

you can build you on hacked firmware.you can manually run firmtool.
put the orig and the hacked firmware in the folder and click firmtool.
check your pm
