Intel site??? I have no idea, I would never buy an Intel board...(nothing to do with modding) I really do not know..I thought it came with the DOS flash from the Intel site..
911 Medic, Intel MB was a freebie! Since I could not find the IFLASH, I tried just extracting all of the files in the INTEL Installer program with 7-ZIP and then swapping in my modified BIOS file, then running SETUP.EXE without the InstallShield installer wrapper. It worked! Kind of..... I got a crazy result. I intended to use ASUS files for SLP & SLIC2.1. When I ran the WGA, it said "NOT GENUINE", so I ran your VLK-TO-OEM to check my bios SLP string. It said I had "Genuine C&C 8B2EBECB"! Where the heck did this come from??? I selected the SLP ASUS.TXT file from the AMI MOD Tool folder SLP and the ASUS SLIC2.1.BIN File from the SLIC2.1 folder. Where did this crazy ID string come from? It is not even an option in the AMI Tool SLP selections! So I used your tool to put the matching files in and now it says "GENUINE", and manual updates work now. What the HECK Happened. I know it is 3AM here, and I am tired, but where did this SLP string come from!!?? Byghtn3
That string is from the "Genuine intel" string in the bios..Most intel boards have this string..its a freebee also..It is not from the flash, unfortunately.. You are legit for XP, but never for vista or W7 as of now..
Well then, why did the AMI tool say it was sucessful at inserting the asus slp & slic strings? Update, I figured it out. The INTEL2AMI tool is supposed to extract the AMI Image from the .BIO and make a .ROM, then the AMI Tool is supposed to modify it and recreate a modified .ROM file, and then the INTEL2AMI is supposed to reinsert it back into a .BIO file. What appears to be happening with the version I have is that the AMI Tool creates a new modified file called file_slice.rom but INTEL2AMI needs to have a file.rom to reinsert, so it actually did not reinsert anything. I changed the new file_slic.rom to file.rom and selected update on INTEL2AMI tool to insert it back into the file.bio file. Then ran a md5 checksum and found them to actually be different this time, (MD5 was the same before figuring this out). I then tried to flash the new file.bio, and it FAILED to flash. How did BUSYKID get this to work?? Oh Well. B
Hi, I've Sony Vaio FZ11Z (T7300) with Phoenix Bios R0050J7. Exist an updated bios that supports Penryn with 800Mhz bus? (T9300 and T9500). Thanks a lot
Same way you did..it did nt flash though.It is modded fine, but will not flash, as I told you. Busy kid uses the tools only..you got what he got...I told you it would not flash, even though you modded it correctly.. I think you are not understanding the problem with Intel bios...
911Medic, I understand my problem and I understand what you are saying..... What I do not understand is .... why are we continuing to modify these BIOS's if we can not get them flashed into the MB's. There are reports of sucessful INTEL 915 based MB flashes(I think I have seen them, I have been searching around too much I may be confused), but I have not seen a report of HOW it was flashed. The 915 is a mature product and should be pretty standardized by now--I would think. Maybe there is nothing standard and maybe that is the problem. Byghtn3
The only flashes I am aware of that worked were done with Iflash...like i said, some do and some dont. the 915 I have found have not been successfully flashed..I have a few mods, as does china4ever and they did not flash correctly.
ah damn, do you see is there an alternate link for 32bit on PackardBell website? u have u tried to run the file without flash64.sys in the same folder?
No, there is no alternate link for 32bit version. running the file without flash64.sys doesnt work too. But no big problem - i will install win7 64bit and do the bios update... thank you very much
I am sure i had removed that, but perhaps i wasn't thorough enough. Is there a programme that can check if there is anything I have missed and can remove it?
