When I try to flash the new mod with awdflash, I type in the new bios exactly as it is written. I save the old bios and it goes through moving bars to save. I then get a message "Source File Not Found" and goes back to the "C" prompt. I did notice at the top of the awdflash program it said "For MCP61P_NARRA3-00". The board is a Pegatron Narra3 M2N68-LA. Are they the same thing or somehow did we get the wrong flash put in?
When I ran the modded bios with Award Slic Mod v1.37 it named the new bios OLDBIOS_SLIC.bin. I renamed it SLIC.BIN. When I ran Awd829d, entered the modded bios name (slic.bin) I got a message "Unknown Flash Type!".
to SLIC.ROM do not use "b" - bootblock option flash modified bios like: AFU236U.exe /iSLIC.ROM /pnc /n
Renamed the modded bios and booted to DOS. typed in AFU236U.exe /iSLIC.ROM /pnc /n with a space before each forward slash. Got the following: ASF Signature not found ERROR: Bios has no flash information available. When I ran the mod tool on my original bios, oldbios.bin the mod tool created these files, iSLIC.BIN, MAIN.BIN, MAIN_SLIC.BIN, OLDBIOS_SLIC.BIN. The last one (OLDBIOS_SLIC.BIN) is the one that was shown in the Award mod program as the new bios. That is the one I have been trying all this with.
Can you make new bios backup with AFU236U utility (AFU236U.exe /oBACKUP.ROM ) and upload both - this backup and awardflash's backup (oldbios.bin) ? (I'll see them tomorrow)
Ran from DOS and typed AFU236U.exe /oBACKUP.ROM and got the same message: ASF Signature not found ERROR: Bios has no flash information available.
well, I don't think so.. when I bought the laptop, 01QB was installed and no date of purchase was available in BIOS. it's standard for samsung out of the box. after I had installed windows, date of purchase appeared and it was 25.03.2012. when I upgraded to 04QB it stayed the same. but when I flashed 04QB SLIC, system date went to 27.02.2012 and so did date of purchase. I have tried flashing 04QB SLIC -> 03QB -> 04QB -> 04QB SLIC but none of this changed dates anymore.
