eXOBeX's Benq Batch Files
>> From eXOBeX on forums.xbox-scene.com:
[QUOTE]
This is a collection of batch files which allow you to "manage" flashing of BenQ firmwares in the same way that the batch files for X360SAM(info) operate.
In other words, the batch files are the same as the ones for X360SAM and Samsung drives, except:-
1) they use FIRMTOOL instead of X360SAM
2) they use DOSFLASH instead of MTKFLASH
3) they're for BenQ drives instead of Samsungs!

The X360SAM batch files store firmwares in folders named after the 360s' serial numbers, these batch files do the same and are called in the same way.

* BENREAD.BAT, BENREADF.BAT, BENREADQ.BAT
This will create a folder especially for that Xbox, read the firmware from the drive, storing it in the folder as BORIG.BIN. It will then use FIRMTOOL.EXE to create a hacked version (called BHACKED.BIN), storing it in the same folder.
BENREADF.BAT will use BENQ-IXA.BIN (the "Fast" firmware)
BENREADQ.BAT will use BENQ-IXB.BIN (the "Quiet" firmware)
BENREAD.BAT just calls SAMREADF.BAT anyway, unless you change it.

* BENHACK.BAT
This flashes the BHACKED.BIN file (created by BENREAD.BAT) onto the drive.

* BENREMOD.BAT, BENREMOF.BAT, BENREMOQ.BAT
This does the same as BENREAD.BAT but without re-reading BORIG.BIN from the 360. Useful if you've used read the drive in the past, but now you want to flash a newer firmware to the same drive.
BENREMOF.BAT will use BENQ-IXA.BIN (the "Fast" firmware)
BENREMOQ.BAT will use BENQ-IXB.BIN (the "Quiet" firmware)
BENREMOD.BAT just calls SAMREMOF.BAT anyway, unless you change it.

* BENORIG.BAT
This flashes the BORIG.BIN file (created by SAMREAD.BAT) back onto the drive.

* MAKEFOLD.BAT
This is a "bonus" batch file, I use it to create folders within the existing "BACKUPS\yyyyy\xxxxxxx" structure, I use these folders when flashing Hitachi 007x drives with Firmware Toolbox. For earlier Hitachis I use customised versions of GaryOPA's batch files, they're not included here.

* WIPEFIRM.BAT
This is another "bonus" batch file. If for any reason you need to delete a firmware folder altogether, that's what it does (after asking for confirmation!)
