MS28 drives only work with "Via VT6421A PCI Sata type Cards" or other variations of it for that matter

I just bought a 6421A SATA card for cheap. A or L will work fine -save yourself the hassle and get either or these two cards.
I just did a flash tonight "bad flash" style without any problems.

Read the tutorial. It was exactly as you described in your original post with the 10 second method. That is the bad flash method.

VIA VT 6421A PCI SATA Card
This card is similar to the 6421L. The only difference is MTKFlash also needs the port I/O’s hexedited as well.
Im slighty confused on what you mean abouit hexediting the port I/O's how do i do this because i cant seem to find any tutorial stating this =/

The XBM software will allow you to do this. I was initially overwhelmed with all this "I/O" and "Hexedit" business too. It's all an automated process. Once you see the XBM software running you'll understand.
Edit: I just noticed that you have used the software already. Hexedit option is right there dude.
