What's the current hacked FW version in my Benq?

Post by bittersuit_98 »

Hello all,
I have a Benq that was flashed some time ago. I can't remember what FW was flashed with. It could be the 1.4, 1.5 or 1.51. So the question is how can I find out what hacked FW of ixtreme my Benq has?
The reason i ask is coz I'm going to update it to 1.61. After some reading, I found mixed reviews about the 1.61. For the most part it seems that 1.61 works just fine so I'm willing to give it a go. So, what I'm planning to do is to make two separate dumps in 2 separate USB sticks off course. Basically, I need to know what version of ixtreme my drive currently has in order to load up the same hacked fw when building my bootable drive with iPrep. So, in case that for whatever reason I am not happy with 1.61 I can just flash back the old hacked FW and this way reverse it to its previous condition.

Any help will be appreciated

thank you.

Well, just dump the drive, then boot onto your OS, then copy the OFW from the stick onto your computer, and leave it there, then go ahead and flash 1.61 as if you were flashing your benq for the first time...

If you dont like 1.61 then either rename your ofw to cfw and put it in your backups folder, then boot iprep 10.7 and type in ben 1234567 12345 w and it will skip the read process, and just write the cfw (your original FW) back onto the drive.
