Have I messed it all up? BenQ + ixtreme 1.5.1

[mkohman]

Hello Guys,

First of all I would like to appologise for this long post and thank everyone in advance for all support and help...

I have an xbox 360 Elite with a BenQ drive and purchased it with the ixtreme 1.4.1 firmware on it. For obvious reasons I am now wanting to flash to 1.5.1 so I watched tutorials on how to dismantle the 360 on youtube and have been successful. The next step was to buy a CK3 Pro Kit as I got the drive out the xbox.. So I did and after watching tutorial on youtube on how to do this with iprep I though it was an easy step so tried it..

I was on it for hours and just could not detect the drive in JF or iprep 008.8 so I realised it may be because I did not have a VIA 6421 SATA card.. so I purchased installed and still no luck.. not detecting the drive.. in iprep or JF..

It might be worth mentioning I have windows vista 64BIT and I was thinking this may be the reason.. so I went to my cousins house and tried installing the card in his machine and doing same proceedure on his vista 32 bit .. and I could not get the usb to boot into iprep as I did not know his command for his motherboard type so I tried Jungle Flasher and it worked ..

It detected the drive so I place the original firmware in source and the ixtreme 1.5.1 in target. Clicked spoof source to target, then click save to file and saved on desk top .. then I went into the MTKFlash 32 tab and tried to unlock .. after I think it unlocked and it went into Vendor mode.. After this I hit wright but unfortunately the pc froze for some reason so I have to restart windows and my drive would not open afterward when I hit the eject button on the CK3 PRO Kit.. I was very upset and thought I f*ked it all up but readin other forums apparently this is fixable..

Now to the main question.. where do I go from here.. ? what do I do? I have a backup of the ORIGINAL firmware before it was even flashed to the 1.4.1.. please please please .. can you experts out there help me in what to do and how to get this thing up and running..

Many thanks for all your help and sorry for the long post.. Thanks for reading..

Jeez.. guys no help? I know this must be a walk in the park for you guys but I am a newbie and I am stuck big time.. please help a brother out.. !

I also tried this:

1 - made a bootable flash drive on my 4GB usb stick in iprep. then I delete all the files and put the dosflash.exe and the dosflash.typ from the DosFlash16 folder.
-
2- I opened Jungle Flashed and source target my save original BENOFW.bin and target istreme 1.5.1 then I clicked spoof and then save the Benq_CFW.bin and placed that onto the usb flash drive so now I have the only 3 files on the flash drive and I boot up to the flash drive (usb stick)
-
3 - Now here is where it all goes wrong.. when I type dosflash.exe it gives me a list of ports but my BENQ drive is still yet again NOT DETECTABLE (so annoying) so what I did was take the SATA cable from the Via 6241 card and plug into my mother board Sata and still the same .. not detecting...
-
4 - My CK3 Pro kit has the blue light on by the way and not red
-
5 - After a few tries it then gives me an error and says :

"an internal stack overflow has caused this session to be halted. cahnge the STACK setting in your config.sys file and then try again"
-
6 - Please also remember as previousley mentioned I believe where I messed up in my previous attempt this afternoon with Jungle Flasher .. I don't think I have any firmware on the BenQ , hence the tray not opening when pressing eject.. also just to mention when I open Jungle Flasher and the drive is on this weird thing happens where my system freezes for 10 seconds then back to normal for 2 secs then freezes again for 10 secs.. etc until I turn the BENQ off..

I am in deeeeeeeeeeep trouble mate aren't I lol.. I have been dealing with this for 4 days now.. my wife is so pissed off for always being on the darn benq problem

Not even in Dos mode when booting from flash memory?

well
dos is not 64bit
the thing is that iprep will not make your boot flash right if its running in a 64bit system

hmm I see .. in that case will this work on a 32Bit machine vista? If this is the case I will format my pc to 32bit and just do it like that .. I mean 32bit vista.. Orrrr is there anyway I can install XP on my other part of the partition on the C drive along with vista 64 bit? Whats the best option? thanks..

hmmm cofree thats a good idea.. I think thats a better option I am going to buy a small hdd something like 80gb or something and put xp on it.. but at the moment I have 8GB Ram installed on my pc for my vista 64Bit so will I have to remove some for the XP to work on another drive ? I know a 32 bit OS will not support more than 3.5 or 4GB so do I have to remove the total of 8GB rams to 4GB ram or do you think it should be ok?

Thanks

i dont think you will have to remove it
but
xp will not use it
