Benq vad6038 to hitachi 79 spoof

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone can walk me through this....

I got a Hitachi 79 flashed to play backed up games already...the system went into error 74 tried the heat gun trick worked for a while but it happend again(used xclamp fix also)

Picked up a broken system with a open tray error....Benq VAD6038 inside....did minor pot tweek/cleaned it.... nothing still!

I want to put my 79 in the benq system but not to sure how..if anyone has a step by step tut on this please let me know

cheers and thanks in advance for the help

 

the tuts in the stickies will give you a good background. apply what the stickies say to the jungle flasher guide and you got yourself a good tut for anything xbox, including your scenario.

first step// get the key off of the benq and save to file
2nd step // get hitachi recognized with JF. and read to source
3rd. manually change key in hitachi fw to benq key
4th... return hit to original if flashed previously
5th check hit ofw for benq's key
6th manually spoof as benq w/1.51
7th flash hit with spoofed fw

Done.

 

awesome man ill give it a try...ill be in touch

i got the orginal FW's from both drives
i was able to get 79fl in mode b no prob im so lost

Go HERE to view the Jungle Flasher Guide. Go to the Spoofing a Hitachi Drive to report as a Different Drive Revision / Version section and follow it.

Make sure your using the latest JungleFlasher v0.1.55 Beta version.

 

The latest is JungleFlasher.0.1.55.Beta.

 

Yeah your right. Corrected the mistake.

 

awesome man ill give that a try
cheers and ill drop back with the verdict.....i just don't wanna brick the drive
thanks

 

you'll do fine. if you get to the point of flashing DO NOT INTERUPT it. Don't power down while flashing for any reason. Are you powering with connectivity kit or with xbox?

anyone able to help?

Try reading the firmware with Firmware Toolbox. It will dump whatever firmware is on there. At that point, you will know for sure, what firwmare is on there... custom or stock. Once you do know, you can simply switch your selection in JF from Restore to Flash iXtreme.

 

ya im with leerage, just use firmware toolbox...here is a youtube video that i used...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCiKGKr0rtk


if you have any questions just ask me and ill clear them up but it is pretty simple, all you have to do is copy the key from the old drive and paste in the new one with fwtb then hit save key, then tools spoof firmware and select what drive your old one was.

 

If you are unsure of what firmware version is on the drive, use Firmware Toolbox to dump the drive and figure it out. After that I would continue to use Jungle Flasher. The creators have made it so so so easy to flash a Hitachi it's unbelievable.

The other issue I have with firmware toolbox is that it DOESN'T copy serial data. If you have original firmware and you just copy the key, load ix1.51, and copy and paste your key.... your new custom firmware WON'T CONTAIN SERIAL DATA. Jungle Flasher on the other hand will transfer the serial data for you. Copy and Paste in Firmware Toolbox is not a good idea.

 

thanks guys ill give it a try in the am

i been on this thing for 2 days now....thanks ill post back the verduct
cheers

 

guys im hove no luck luck with this at all

keep gettin can'topen files ive tried every config on this comp to see if thats the prob

i used this comp and the firmware toolbox to flash it months ago with no probs did all the saves for the orig.bin
even saved the hacked.bin

I flashed it 1.4 at 8X speed

Next question
in JF do i have to put anything in the firmware tool 32 area and if so what?

sorry just can't seem to get my head around this...starting to hate hitachi drives
cheers

 

K finally got it to go back to stock...how not to sure...still can't get it to flash 1.51 say can't open file in jungle flasher folder

anyone?

thanks for the help and advice everyone.....seems to me theres still hope...lol

cheers

 

use iprep 008.8 w/ updated def files found in xbins. and make a bootable flash drive. Works great althought i heard jf was easier (didn't try it yet)

When you get iprep and the def files you are going to want "to go to programfiles/iprep/resources and you should see the ixdef, just copy the ixdef 1.51 from the file you downloaded and paste it in the resources folder, then hit copy and replace."
