is the the latest bios 1.8? Thats what i downloaded today ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.80 for Satellite A300/A305 (PSAG0U/PSAG4U) (v1.80; 03-24-2009; 4M)
My notebook is right next to yours, a305-s6844, we share the same bios. I flashed mine through dos (burned the iso, booted it and it flashed and restarted). Latest is the 1.80 for our models. 7's installing as we speak. We shall see how it goes.
The 1.8 doesnt have slic 2.1. It has slic 2.0. I think we need to 2.1 for activation to work with win 7. I tried again the bios that 911medic modded for me and still the same. Im running win 7 just not activated using the 30day eval with 4 rearms. Run RWeverything and check your slic to see if yours worked.
Did you flash through windows or dos? I know in windows, it would not allow me to flash because I already had the 1.80 from toshiba's site. So the dos method updated, but I will let you know, hopefully within 10-15 minute (it's almost done)
Ok, ran RWEverything and it's 00 00 00 00 Hm, so was the one from 911 modded correctly? Or wait, was the one in the iso modded or just the windows flasher one?
They are both modded. The slic table is not getting written to the EEPROM. Dont know why..Maybe a lock, ASUS has one to prevent Slic table writing..
Ok, I got it to work, I see 01 00 02 00 What I did was, I took the po10s180.fd from the po10s180 folder, toss flas**t with it and flashed it manually in dos (instead of using the actual iso) machine rebooted, I went and chose load setup default in bios, save changes, went back in and changed to what I usually have it set, and save changed and now 01 00 02 00
Ok, now I just activated with the certificate I had for my vista and everything is activated, whoo whoo Hopefully this can help jpw16 and others.
