Well as long as you have to original you can confirm whether or not is has a good key. To do this open Jungle Flasher and on the FirmwareTool 32 Tab click load source firmware then select your OFW (Original Firmware). Once you've done that I suggest you load the latest firmware either 1.51 or 1.6. Either one will let you play the latest games although 1.6 was just released I'd still suggest you wait a few more weeks for it to be truly tested. Then spoof source to Target and save to file. You can then either rename the file to bencfw and place it in your iPrep thumb drive and flash that or continue to use jungle flasher to flash your benq. But as long as you've got a good key you haven't bricked your drive yet.

Well are you going to 1.5 or 1.6? If 1.6 then you need the new RHPG Iprep 9 Found here:
viewtopic.php?f=112&t=48" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Then when you install that you need to go into the C:\Program Files\iPrep\Resources and replace the ixdef.xml file with this one:
viewtopic.php?f=131&t=5574" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Run Iprep and make your USB Flash Drive as you normally would and select the firmware that you created in JF for the BenQ iXtreme. Then reboot into dos from the USB drive and follow instructions. Make sure that you take your time and follow the instructions. Anymore questions just post up and one of us will help.
