Benq Unlock

>>A new application that helps with the modification of Benq VAD6038 drives..
This exe is a win32 app that sends the “Magic” 28 unlock codes to you Benq 360 drive. The drive can then be dumped/erase/flashed using dosflash32 by chipsets other than Via/Nforce and without all that powering on/off or soldering.

Be warned: This win32 program does not use the windows API. The exe writes directly to the ATA controller’s I/O ports (which requires Geek Hideout’s I/O dll, which I have included in the rarr). It also requires that you be using an ATA - SATA adapter to connect your 360 drive to your PC, or an SATA controller that has a legacy mode (try the BIOS setup options on your controller).

Special thanks to:

C4eva - for 28 magic keys and the CDB’s to send them
Podger - for the code
Seventhson - for the userspace parallel ATA driver
