Technical details
------------------------
Defeats all current and some future Xbox Live detection attempts.

Thanks to all the beta testers,everyone involved for without their effort this would not have been possible. Schrtom for Dosflash. Caster420 for firmtool. Keep up the good work everyone.

Note: The version is 1.1 due to internal changes, there was no public 1.0.
Dosflash: The only way to read and flash a Benq drive is with DosFlash(info) 1.3. There is a support thread here to help with users experiencing problems. It is recommended to try the dos16 version first. It ONLY supports VIA and NFORCE sata chipsets. When using a VIA card, please be sure to disable both your IDE and/or SATA chipsets as they usually interfere with dosflash.

PC motherboards usually have SST 39's in them (I have 3 motherboards that do)...but there LF, totally different thing

gigabite

^^ WHAT ....I know you can convert a chip that starts with W...[I forgot sorry] to work like an SST chip, point being...JUST USE another SST chip same as origional on top and follow some tutorials - it's very easy i've done it many times...stop trying to split 1 chip into 2, there is no point !! (although it can be done, as said before)

gigabite

Yeap...get a Samsung drive from eBay (Kreon)...takes like no time to rip, and use XBC...rip..burn...done...nothing to f with

gigabite

Nonon hes askign wether he can split the chip into 2 seperate banks I belive...the answer would be: NO...unless you can compress the 256KB image down to 128KB AND find a way to split the chip into 2 banks [or find a way to get a bigger chip working, split the banks and walla]....just go for 2 SST chips, it's easier

ha..2 threads...for those people who were having trouble removing the TSOP from the 79 and the glue and the like, I have made a vid all I have to do is rip and edit it..this is for the alternative method (NOT using the passkey)...cheers

gigabite

Sorry I got the impression you flashed the firmware to the BenQ....if your getting e66 maybe I know why...you have spoofed it incorrectly (i.e you have a BenQ 64930C and you have spoofed it as a 62430C)??  Check the fw revision on the BenQ corresponds with the one in wich you have spoofed it as..If you spoofed it correctly I have no idea..

gigabite

Your blaming me...for there being no BenQ firmware...do things for us, us being who??  Like your so special or something? You said talented hacker...i'm no hacker - btw you clearly didn't read...I have given him his firmware and his key...jesus christ, i'm not not going to comment and stand down

gigabite

Proven wrong : p ...I got annoyed at all the people asking for 79 help...removing the TSOP...so i made a full vid as in how (I) to remove it...clean it etc..you even get to hear my voice [wich sounds little different on cam]...expect it soon [have to rip it and edit]

gigabite

This is your problem
You need to flash the firmware you made...to the Hitachi 78 drive : p !!

gigabite

Thing is...I think it's like a warning Bungie specifically are taking action towards any users who cheat on there servers...bear in mind ANYONE who cheats or anything of the sort is violating the TOS, just no action may have been taken yet...there warning that if you get banned etc etc - that's what I believe anyway

gigabite

I have posted the exact order wich is fool proof (unless you have a bad card) at least 3 times this week...and what software you should use...use the search function mate...Xtreme Boot Maker (36 version)...on, finger on Xtreme Primary: x and on power, hit at exact time...flash... now you will find it

gigabite

That's yoru problem Windows will NOT recongnise teh drive unless it has Xtreme or further on it because it has the special code in it wich makes Windows able to see teh drove and assign it a drive letter etc...have the drive plugged in on a SATA port....turn computer on and get to DOS prompt (making sure you have used Xtreme Boot Maker to make you a custom mtkflash wich is suitable for yoru chipset and chanel etc) run mtkflash w yourkeyandhackedfw.bin and under the list the drive should shwo up as Xtreme Primary Master: x (where x is your number, it is usually one...oh unplug EVERYTHING (IDE and SATA cables) except for your floppy drive).....turn off the 360...hold yoru finger on x (the number on the keyboard) and the 360's power....hit them at the exact same time and you'll be transported in time...not really...your drive will start flashing !!

gigabite - read, use the search function...you havn't

FFS there is no BenQ iXtreme, this tool is useful for obtaining a dump of your firmware !!!

gigabite

Somebody wants to get banned really quickly...first you ask a mod...no an admin, why *your* topic was deleted...then you make another thread...and now you post a full readme when there is another topic...tisk tisk

gigabite

oh so I know it already worked with 6421's...but that was with the switch, your saying it works, with 6421's [and Nforce] without the need for a switch (sorry it's late and i'm tired - I actually wrote it backwards before re reading it...sounded a little strange : p)??  cheers

gigabite

yayaya !!! thanks...one question - why does it work with a 6420 chipset and not a 6421? - when will support for 6421 be added??  if there is support i'm sorry just reading this read me is like reading a life story :p !! anyway good work...someone thinks BenQ iXtreme is commming soon 

gigabite

He probably installed the switch to dump his fw to get the key...anywho, your problem is that the traces wich you cut aren't properly connected - re connect them with more solder or a piece of wire or metal form the end of an led/resistor etc and your problem will be fixed
