BENQ Locked

[gerryb10]

Ok this is a drive I flashed myself a while back for my friend, the xbox then got e74 so he gave it this guy who did the x-clamp fix but that didnt fix it. But now to the problem, whilst he was installing the x-clamp fix it looks as if hes tried to flash the firmware or something and done a bad flash as the power symbol on the drive is flashing continuosly, it won't eject and it locks up my computer. Its very similar to when a liteon hets locked up after an erase. Luckily I still have the key on my pc, so how can I go about reflashing it?

You said it's flashing red? What is the error code exactly?

If it's e18 the xclamp mod failed. If its e64, 65, or 66 it's a bad flash.

What model drive is it?

I use jungleflasher in case you use iprep. If using JF, you can just load the CFW and paste the key manually into it. All you do then is Intro/ATA and flash.

If using iprep, I believe there is a restore command. There is a tut up in the tutorial section.

Its a benq vad6038, its locking up my computer so I'll have to flash it through dos probably.

Did you uninstall your sata driver? The Via 6421 is known to freeze your pc when your firmware is erased from the drive.

ok i cant read the key through dosflash but this is okay, because I already have the key. When I do the power cycle it gives me the status 0x70 instead of 0x73 and just stalls reading bank 0. But anyway all I want to do is somehow erase and then flash it with my existing firmware with the good key in it without reading. Is this possible?
