Re: ASUS M3A JungleFlasher compatible?

whats happened is you have locked up the drive,i would say get the via card then you should be able to get the drive back up and running

Prep a usb stick using iPrep, drag the l-o-eras.exe program onto it.
Boot into dos and use the 'l-o-eras.exe <portno>' command (without <>) to erase you drive. You will first get a FF80 status, keep doing it until you get a FF72 status. Your drive will now be erased properly.
Then you should probably proceed to write to the drive using DOS also.

There are several tutorials on this that you can find.

You have your original firmware don't you?!

I never even got my PC to detect my drive, there is no movement inside, its almost as if its died.

Re: ASUS M3A JungleFlasher compatible?

you don't need the drive detected in DOS when doing the l-o-eras.exe

Dont worry, I doubt you've fried it as BenQs are near impossible to break :L

Get the SATA port number you know the drive is on, turn the drive on and do the command using the port number, you should get some sort of status.

I did absolutelty nothing, Unplugged it then put it back in and now its doing this. At first I was leaning the drive on top of the heatsinks on the Xbox 360 then it turned itself off and i kept trying to put it back on and noticed they where touching. Could touching the outer metal shell of the drive fry it?

The chip on the back is not black like most peoples are, there is a slight black mark on one of the wires, the black wire (bottom left)

Is there any DOSFlash tutorials to unlock?

Re: ASUS M3A JungleFlasher compatible?

mate if your drive no longer operates - you have more to worry about than unlocking it

Re: ASUS M3A JungleFlasher compatible?

I have just been on the phone to someone and they said you have 5 minutes to do it before the firmware on the motherboard corrupts?
