ben-q stuck in vendor mode

[lcddarkangel1]

im going back to JF 1.55

[hyperdrive]

Are you going to do any more drives?

I have one to do tomorrow probably and I'd be interested to hear if you get on better with the earlier version and I will use that too.

I had those same errors with jungleflasher when I ran my VIA card with the drivers enabled. I disabled them and it's worked great ever since for me.

I was going to give that a try also but was thinking it was just for liteons.

I'll try it out tomorrow, see how it goes.

well
you need to remember that the benq and the lite-on
are made by the same people

I dont think you should jungle with any drive with the via drivers running.
im not up on jungle as i just dont use it much.

but
when i do it is on a pc that does not have a via chipset and i have never had any error like that

[lcddarkangel1]

not doing anymore tonight.
i have to do 4 boxes on saturday.

i have been using JF 1.55 with no issues.

[lcddarkangel1]

i dont use the via card.
my mother board has 4 sata ports on it already.
i do have a card but i only use it on sammy drives.

[hyperdrive]

so you never used the VIA when you got the error, hmm.

I did

[lcddarkangel1]

i will see how everything turns out on saturday.
got 4 boxes to do.

Ok, so I successfully flashed another Benq,

same procedure as before,

apart from I tried disabling the VIA Drivers and my PC was freezing everytime the xbox drive powered on,

so I re-enabled the drivers got the "write verify failed" error, continued on my merry way, pressed outro/reset, set it all up, inserted backup and it boots fine.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with my setup or a JF bug but either way I just want to confirm both worked even though it gave the verification error.

Seems strange, and I would encourage anyone with the same or similar issue to seek advice on what to do from one of the experienced guys here, rather than just doing as I have done, I may have just got lucky. If iPrep is an option for you then by all means try that if it makes you feel safer.

[lcddarkangel1]

not really sure why it does that.

[hyperdrive]

This info is good for others to reference against if they have the same error.

[lcddarkangel1]

have you tryied playing live with backup copies to make sure its all good?

[hyperdrive]

yeah, alls fine, played multiplayer HAWX

[lcddarkangel1]

so my computer crashed today.
after reformating it again and reloading all the programs i needed. it made it a lot easier to flash boxes.

did 6 boxes today.
with no issues at all.
