Robin Hoods Playground

I've flashed my BenQ drive before on my 360.. thanks to this site, which I have to say has THE most structured content/instructions by far making my life and others easier

So here's some background on what I have now:

* xbox 360 with an BenQ drive
* Blaster 360 NE (I liked the idea of never having to open my 360 again... money well spent)

I looked at the old Windows Explorer folder I used at the time (a few months ago). So I believe I used iprep, booted from a USB and ixtreme 1.5.

So how do I upgrade? Is applying the flash to the latest level the same procedure as patching or upgrading? I read a tutorial on here about using JungleFlasher. I know a few months ago that BenQ was not able to boot from Windows which is why I ended up using iprep. Does Jungleflasher now work for the BenQ drive? It looks like it does but the tutorial mentioned it doesn't work for ixtreme 1.5. Is there a work around? What are my options?

Let me also say that the only reason I'm performing this upgrade is to be able to play Wave 3 backup games. I recently burned a copy of Madden 10 but it didn't work. I looked up the errors and it pointed to a firmware update as a possible solution (which is why I'm here).

Again, correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm asking several questions in this thread because I'm not the expert here so I'd appreciate the help.

You just do it the same way you did the first time, except for getting the new FW from XbIns.

CoFree made a good video tutorial here: http://www.robinhoodsplayground.com/for ... 195&t=5129" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you have any questions just post them up.

Thanks for the advice... I ran into another problem though.

I'm not able to boot from the USB stick. At first I thought I did something wrong so I tried troubleshooting. One of the last things I tried was reverting back to IPREP v008.8 with ixtreme 1.5. Now that worked! I tried loading ixtreme 1.6 using the old IPREP but it won't let you.

Any other suggestions? Can I just manually copy IXTREME v1.6 firmware via Windows Explorer onto my USB drive and give it a try using the older IPREP tool? Thanks in advance..

Update: I was using IPREP v10.1. I've confirmed that I'm unable to load ixtreme 1.6 onto the older iprep version. I'm about to try some older iprep versions that support ixtreme 1.6.

To answer your question, yes.

I have uploaded iPrep 10.2 now, it should hopefully address the booting issue, http://www.klutsh.com/forum/iprep/iprep-102/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks a bunch.

I appreciate the help and I'll give it a shot tonight after I finish watching Breaking Bad. Pretty good show on AMC

I'll confirm the results soon.

yes this is being worked on

its being a nasty bug

Gazzer beat me to it.. I got the same results. It's not booting either.

Let me know if you need more details.

Ok. I've formatted my USB stick with IPREP v008.8 but it's not able to recognize or load ixtreme 1.6. I'm now planning on copying the files via Windows Explorer but I noticed the 1.6 file is called "ix16-benq.bin". Do I erase the the BenCFW.bin file located on my USB stick (this is the 1.5 version) and replace it with ix16-benq.bin? Or do I rename the 1.6 version file to "BenCFW.bin" and copy it to the ../CFW directoy on my USB stick?

This is the only file I need to copy, correct?

There is also an "activate.iso" file which I have no idea what it's for... I'm assuming I don't need that file at all.

anybody know if iprep problems v10.2 boot error is any nearer to be sorted

The boot error has been solved. We are close to releasing a new stable version. Just hang on just a little bit longer.

Cool Guys. Thanks again for all the hard work that you and Klutsh are putting in to this!!!!
