In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to flash your BENQ DVD Drive with latest iXtreme firmware.

If you have a Hitachi-LG DVD in your XBOX 360, you are lucky. You don't need to extract the key, you even don't need to do all the tricky things, such as power on or off the DVD drive, push the tray half way in etc.

The process for Hitachi-LG is simple: Put DVD driver in debug mode (Mode B, so Windows can recognize it), read the firmware, spoof the firmware and flash it back to your Hitachi-LG.

For Hitachi-LG drive flash, you only need the [connectivity kit], you do NOT need the key extractor. However you also need [VT6421 SATA PCI card] if your PC does not have a SATA port.

In this tutorial, we are going to do all this in Windows using latest JungleFlasher. You can download the JungleFlasher from http://jungleflasher.net/.


  1. Follow instructions on the net to disassemble your XBOX 360, remove the Hitachi-LG DVD Drive. It is best to use a [XBOX Case tool] to open your xbox 360.
  2. Download iXtreme 1.51 and firmware pack (contains all Hitachi-LG firmwares). Sorry we cannot provide the link but you can google it, you can download it from many many places.
  3. Install latest JungleFlasher. You can download the JungleFlasher from http://jungleflasher.net/.
  4. Connect the CK3 with your PC and DVD drive as below. You can check Connect hardwares together as the reference. Ignore the key extractor part.

  5. Attention: Make sure you connect the DVD power cable to the DVD adapter and DVD drive in the correct direction. One side of the DVD cable's header has a raised bar, another side is flat, make you connect them in the correct way as show in the picture below:
    to DVD adapter
    to DVD Drive
    Attention: Do not let the DVD adapter to touch any metal object or your PC's case. Always put a book under the DVD adapter to prevent short circuit:
    This is bad, it will cause short circuit
    This is good, put a book under the DVD adapter
  6. Make sure all connections are secure, run DOSFLASH command to read the BENQ's firmware. See screen blow for steps:
    Xbox-36-benq-dos-flash-1.jpg
    Xbox-36-benq-dos-flash-2.jpg
    We suggest you to run the command at least twice, and go back to windows, save the firmware in a save place also compare them make sure they are good.
  7. Run firmtool to spoof the firmware. the first param is the firmware file from your BENQ dvd drive (you read from the previous step), the second param is the iXtreme 1.5 firmware. I renamed ix15benq.bin to hacked.bin:
    Xbox-36-benq-dos-flash-3.jpg
    . Double check the messages on the screen, make sure it is successful.
  8. Run dosflash again to flash the hacked firmware to your BENQ dvd rom:
