Tried the tricks in the tutorials and no matter what i do it will not go into vendor mode.

Using x360usb and latest jungleflasher.

Jungleflasher can see the drive just fine but fails on sending it into vendor mode.

I got this drive from xconsoles to replace a bad one i already had.

Tried different sata cables and no change.

Tried onboard sata port and no change.

Used xbox 360 console to power drive and still no change

I've tried everything.

This isnt my first time flashing a drive and its not the first time i had issues with benq unlock but every other time i had issues with benq unlock the other methods of opening the tray always worked but this time they are not.

Jungleflasher can see the drive just fine but that's it.

Trying to get it into vendor mode using the eject tray then push half way in results in the same thing.

It looks like its unlocking fine. You dont intro after unlocking. it intros when you unlock.

Once unlocked you just read and write then outro.

Is it coming up as "serial flash status 0x73"?

Have you tried using DOSFlash 32 I know its ancient but its worth a try,I take it that you already have the key that you want to flash to this drive so if dosflash is successful,just use it to ersae the flash chip,then use JF to see if it will write the flash...also one more question ,are you using the CK3 adapter when not using your usbpro?

I'm not doing intro after unlocking it.

I'm simply loading up JF hitting benq unlock and then i get the failed vendor message.

I havent tried dosflash was looking for the latest versions but cant find anything yet.

If you got a link PM it to me please.

Also im using a Ck3ProD

Nope not using that.

using x360usb and an external molex power supply.

Both work fine i know because i can connect a different benq drive and it sends it into vendor mode as soon as i click benq unlock
