Re: Replacement of Benq Drive
This is easy. Since they are both benQ's there is no spoofing...
What you do is:
1) Locate your failing drive's OFW.
2) Open Jungle Flasher
3) Decide if you want to flash iXtreme, or keep the drive stock
4) If you are flashing iXtreme, load the benQ iXtreme as target
4) If you are flashing stock, load the stock FW of the good benQ as target
5) Click spoof source to target (This will copy the key, into the fw)
6) Now flash your good benQ with the FW.
Also, before you flash, you can dump your failing benQ to make sure its key is the same, and that you have not confused the 2.

You can use Jungle flasher to flash the benQ, or you can build the FW (click spoof source to target) then save that firmware, and flash with iPrep. Its whichever you want.Doctor360 wrote:thanks HaGGardSmurf

Re: Replacement of Benq Drive
No, you've already used jungle to make the firmware. Rename it to bencfw.bin then make the iprep usb stick bootable then make a folder inside of the backup folder and name it 1234567 (or the first 7 numbers of your serial) and then another one inside of that and name it 12345 (same again with the last 5 digits of your serial number) so it should look something like this backup/1234567/12345 and copy the bencfw.bin into the 12345 one (or whatever your serial number is) then boot into iprep and go straight to the fben 1234567 12345 (or your serial) command. Sounds more complicated than it really is.
