Dosflash erase help?

**MsDG** · 20th July 2008

Hi guys,
Having a little trouble doing an erase on my Benq using dosflash... following this guide-http://venomousfire.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-flash-benq-xbox-360.html

I have read the firmware ok... but when I try to erase the firmware I get error "Wrong Flash Status"

Info...

Drive = VAD6038 (with grey wires)

Sata Card = PCI VIA6421a

Dosflash = 1.4b (using dosflash 16 in Dos)

Command = dosflash e 6000 1 a0 1 4 d8 0

Any Ideas????????????????

What I did (which the guide completely ignores) is instead of telling dosflash specifically what to do, just run dosflash, i.e

c:\dosflash

It will then search for the drive and give you a list of options, choose the correct one and voila.

Have you backed up the orignal firmware?

yup... firmware backed up and the new one waiting to go!

Cheers I shall give that a blast tomorrow... too tired tonight to face it again!

Took me ages to do mine... but just using the dosflash command saves on typing that string time and time again!

I had that exact problem when doing my mates BenQ! Instead of using the erase command you are currently using (dosflash e 6000 1 a0 1 4 d8 0) use this one....

Code:

DosFlash e 6000 1 a0 1 4 C7 0

Note that is says C7 instead of D8. I got this off of xbox-scene via a google search. Worked a charm!
