Flashing Benq VAD6038 drive Tutorial

So you have the Xbox 360 Benq drive, and you want to flash it with iXtreme 1.51? Good news, this is easy to do. Im going to be using the CK3 Connectivity Kit in this tutorial. The first thing youre going to want to do, is open the Xbox 360, to get to your Benq drive. Its actually easier than you think. The first step, is to watch this video. Youre going to need a TORX 10 screwdriver.



The next step, once youre done opening your Xbox 360 case, is to completely remove the Benq drive from the console. Once you have that done, you need to hook up the CK3 connectivity kit to your Benq drive. Just take a look at the image below, pretty easy. Also, for flashing this, Im using the Via 6421, which is an PCI card, and can be found on Ebay pretty cheap.



Now from here, you have a couple of different ways to go about flashing this. Many tutorials out there, use iPrep ( which can be downloaded from 360Mods.net ), however, I never had any luck getting this to work. So Im going to show you how to use a combination of DosFlash v1.7 to retrive the key, and JungleFlasher to create your Xbox 360 custom firmware.

Once you have your drive connected to your computer, open up DosFlash. Youll get a polling window, asking to send the vendor info to device on 09F0 ( or whatever yours may be ), just click ok, power off your 360 drive via the ck3 power switch, wait 2 seconds, the power the 360 drive back on. DosFlash only initiates after your have clicked OK and the device has been turned off/on again.

You may have to play with this for a little bit to get it to work right. Sometimes the first polling window that comes up is actually for other devices you have in your system. SATA hard drives, DVD drives, etc.

You have to retry with the different device address until you get the hang of what works for you. This is why you disable other drives in your system, to minimize the amount of addresses that DosFlash polling windows ask you to resend the info for.

Once it shows your Benq drive as connected, go ahead and read the firmware. Do this a couple of times, making sure your key is the same every time. Once youre good, same it as whatever you want, orig.bin for example. Now its time to open up JungleFlasher.



Now, this is easy, so dont screw it up. All you have to do, is hit Load Source Firmware, and select the firmware that you save using DosFlash. Then, click on Open Target Firmware select the firmware ix15Benq.bin ( if you havent downloaded the firmware yet, you can download it from Team Xecuter ).



Now, the next step, once you have loaded your original firmware, and loaded the iXtreme firmware, is to click the button Spoof Source to Targe. Once done, click Save to File, name is anything you want, I named mine benqmodified.bin. Now, go back to Dosflash 32, erase your firmware off your Xbox 360 drive.

Once that is complete, click the drop down on the top, select Write Firmware, load the firmware you saved from Jungleflasher.

Once its done, you can verify everything is working, by clicking on the eject button, on the CK3, making sure it ejects.

The next step, is just put your Xbox 360 back together, and to burn a copied Xbox 360 game, to make sure it actually works, since this is the goal of yours.

Here are some links youll need to download the firmware and applications for flashing your 360.
