Project to dump the new BenQ drive - VAD6038

[thetig]

Checked the firmware with memdump and it's not ixtreme, just a normal firmware spoofed as benq with my benq key in it.
I'm off to search some more,T.

[thetig]

perhaps i didn't explain, i could not use toolbox 4.0 to flash the spoofed firmware as i can only get the hitachi recognized using a usb -sata connector.

Is the dump of Firmware of BenQ working with a VIA VT6421 PCI Card?
Anyone test this?

[radsy]

i have successfully flashed 2 hitachi drives with benQ firmware key and spoof.
the way your going , it looks as if your gonna end up bricking that drive.
here's what i did :

a)after opening hitachi firmware with toolbox 4.0 replace key with benQ key using toolbox 4.0
b)still in toolbox, use "smart hacker patcher" to xtreme or ixtreme firmware.
c)save as "modified.bin" (without quotes off course) and close toolbox
d)now open hex editor or workshop and spoof hitachi firmware manually as benQ using your spoof info . save file as "modified.bin" (without quotes off course)  
e)now open toolbox 4.0  and get hitachi drive in mode b.
f)now in toolbox 4.0 read backup of your hitachi drive  just to make sure its ready for flashing
g)check the read firmware and make sure its ok
h)open your "modified.bin" (without quotes)
i)go to "tools" then  go to "direct drive flash (gdr only)" and then "differential flash (patch)"
j)read drive and detect differences
k)now click start flashing
l)now connect hitachi drive to benQ xbox 360 and viola


p.s dont try if you dont know what i am talking about. you only get one chance because i couldnt unspoof the hitachi drives using toolbox or c4eva way. i unspoofed by removing chip and using external programmer.

Hi Radsy, thanks for the reply buddy, i got it working okay,i managed to get it recognized in a new copy of windows xp pro on another hdd in safe mode.
I used toolbox 4.0 to create the ixtreme firmware inject the benq key , spoof and flash, no problem.
Easy when you can use  toolbox 4.0.

I didn't use smarthack patcher to make the firmware ixtreme the first time, now i see what i did wrong,lol.flashed it with normal spoofed firmware not ixtreme,lol.

By the way i had the spoofed firmware flashed to the hitachi and unspoofed/restored all 3 sectors  no problem, here's the commands i used.

46flash d orig-e.bin  9003d000 1000
46flash d orig-e.bin 9003e000 1000
46flash d orig-e.bin 90004000 1000

Worked no problem, i noticed another thread had the command as
46flash d 9003d000 1000 orig-e.bin

That way did not work for me, only in the first order did it work correctly.

Don't know if this will be any use to you Radsy as you obviously know far more than me
about this but i though i'd state it anyway,might help someone else.

Anyway, thanks again for your help , now i've done both a hitachi and samsung(first one due to your modded firmware,lol)

All the best,T.

[thetig]

Bluntman, yes it works no problem with that card .

Radsy , 5 stars for your tutorial.

Only need to be more accurate in this step:

d)now open hex editor or workshop and spoof hitachi firmware manually as benQ using your spoof info

how to, what i must introduce in the hitachi and where.

Thanx.

I apreciate your help.

Hello,
The news for the firmware BenQ ?

Thank you.

[radsy]

Only need to be more accurate in this step:

d)now open hex editor or workshop and spoof hitachi firmware manually as benQ using your spoof info

the only reason i didnt go into detail about spoofing is because that there are so many different versions of the hitachi drive(e.g. 59dj,78fk,79fk,...etc....) and the spoof area has different locations . also you probably cant explain with just words. you need pics.

You need to spoof as your orig. Benq. Still got the benq fw ? Run it through my site for an instant correct Samsung fw (or use gb's fw's if you want more labour

i`ve read my benq with dosflash32 .
ckecksum is A97B.
i have uploaded the fw to the script from idog an the key is stored at e040.

If you have received no indication on the site of an error, then your FW is correct. Try and flash it to the samsung to test
