Philips/BenQ/LiteOn VAD6038 Tutorial

You will need:

• VIA or NForce SATA chipset

• DosFlash 1.3

• BootableDOS disk

** IMPORTANT! ** This method only works with VIA or NForce

SATA chipsets, any other chipset requires soldering a switch to the

drive and is covered in a tutorial here .

This tutorial will cover using DosFlash16 in manual mode from a USB

DOS boot disk.

Opening The Xbox 360

The outer Xbox 360 “shell” is entirely screwless. Plastic friction

tabs hold the case together. There are many different tutorials for

opening the Xbox 360, with different methods. Here are some links

to “opening the Xbox 360” tutorials. I decided not to cover opening

the Xbox 360 in this tutorial since it is already long enough and there

are many other tutorials for opening the Xbox 360. Notes:

- The Anandtech guide says you need to use a Torx 12

screwdriver. There is no such thing. You need a Torx 10

screwdriver.

- Removing the grey side grill on the hard drive side is a little

tricky. The first friction tab is actually inaccessible from the top

holes in the case, so you need to stick your screwdriver in the

hole by where the hard drive button is and unclip it. (See Pic)

- In order to push in the back clips, you can do one of two things.

You can use a thin metal object such as a precision flathead

screwdriver / bobby pin / paperclip OR you can make an

opening “key” out of a CD spindle case. The key would not

work for me, it was too flimsy, but it works for some people.

You can also purchase an “unlock kit.”

- If all you want to do is just flash the firmware, you only need to

remove the six long screws on the bottom. (See Pic)

Read all these guides and watch all the videos, figure out how you

want to go about opening the Xbox 360. It is not rocket science.

Downloading The Firmware

The hacked firmware may be illegal under the DMCA, EUCD,

or other local, national, and international copyright laws. The hacked

firmware contains portions of Microsoft’s copyrighted firmware and

therefore cannot be linked to or downloaded publicly. Do not request

the firmware on any forums because it is against most forum rules

and you will most likely be banned. The best method to obtain the

firmware is by using Xbins. Xbins is an IRC channel and FTP server

that hosts Xbox and Xbox 360 mod files, homebrew programs, and

development software.

If you have never used Xbins before, the easiest method is to use

Ground Zero’s automated Xbins downloader.

Download

Download the self-extracting archive and run the xbins.exe file. It will

ask you where you want to save the files, choose your desktop. Now,

go into the “Xbins” folder on your desktop and run the .bat file. The

program will automatically connect to the IRC channel, message the

bot, and connect to the FTP server. When FileZilla opens up you

should see the local Downloads folder on your left side, and a few

folders on your right side (this is the Xbins FTP server).

The hacked firmware can be found in:

/XBOX 360/firmware/hacked firmware/Benq VAD6038/

Simply drag the “BenQ iXtremev1.1.rar” file over to the left side of

FileZilla and wait for it to finish downloading. Use WinRAR to extract

the BenQ iXtremev1.1.rar files to a new folder.

iPrep

We will use iPrep for 2 things:

1. Detect SATA and note required port for DosFlash16.

2. Create bootable USB DOS disk.

Floppies will work but are not recommended due to their unreliability.

You can also use the NTFS4DOS method instead of a bootable USB

drive, that process is covered here . Simply add DosFlash16 to the

folder that iPrep creates on your harddrive before booting with the

NTFS4DOS CD.

First, you need to make sure Microsoft .NET Framework v2 is

installed. It is needed for iPrep to run. If you do not have this

installed, you will be prompted to download and install it.

Second, you need to make sure the drivers for your SATA chipset are

installed. Use either the CD that came with your computer/SATA

card, or use the manufacturer’s web site to install the latest drivers.

The latest drivers for XP and VIA chipsets are here .

Once you have that taken care of, you can download and install

iPrep. Klutsh updates iPrep frequently, so please visit the website at

http://www.x-projects.org to download the latest version. The

download is in the form of a RAR archive. Use WinRAR to extract all

the files to a new folder, then launch iPrep from that folder.
