But how can I test if I'm using a loader?

str8, what if the problem is with the 1.90 BIOS? Shall I try downgrading to 1.80 which was already installed when everything was working? And then if it works we mod the 1.80?

 

Not a good idea. One or the other, do not mix the two. If you cannot get the mod to work, then goto the loader.

@mschumacher69 how are you flashing? usb stick or floppy?

The ISO will not work. This has been tried before. The previous problems were solved by flashing with only the flas**t and bios file on disk..no additional files...

Previous toshiba A300 flashes only worked (updated) as this..:

Code:

1. make a bootable dos flash drive

2. Copy flas**t and the fd file onto the drive once thats done

3. boot into dos

4. type "flas**t XXXX.fd (XXXX being the name of .fd file)

 

Hi, and thank you for your reply. Do you mean this has to be done only using a floppy drive? Will USB work? Actually we have tried USB...

@mschumacher69

Hi, please try flashing your bios from DOS using USB (as you did the last time) but do not put on that stick any other files except Flas**t.exe + PO10190M.FD
Don't use that batch file. When in DOS type as advised above:

flas**t PO10190M.FD

Yes, this was suggested by Yen as one of the options. The only thing is that i wasn't able to find this bios version (1.80) for your machine on the support webpage - all they offer is 1.90.

 

Believe me I tried everything, EXE, USB, ISO and nothing seems to be working!!

 

Thats why i said until you get a mod to work

Which flas**t must I use? The 1st one or the second one?

 

Try both. But after each time check RW for the presence of the slic table.

 

Is it safe to flash your BIOS that many times??

 

Not really, but we ain't got any other options. Also if you want you can try contacting the support and telling them that after bios upgrade from their webpage your Vista is no longer activated and you don't understand why and what should you do now. See what they have to say Just play dumb like you have no clue about slics and stuff - like any regular user. Maybe they will give some kinda solution for this thing.

 

I can do that but I think their answer would be "activate using the Product Key on the sticker", that's what it's there for after all

Would it be enough to check SLIC Dump after each flash because I find it easier to understand than RW Everything!
