I don't understand. It's exceedingly difficult to find any documentation about those damn modes. This is what I've been able to gather from almost an hour of search: /mode=0 means update BIOS only /mode=1 means update DMI only /mode=2 ???? I can't find anything. Is it some sort of ULTRA SECRET mode or what?? Why the need to be so secretive?? /mode=3 means update both BIOS and DMI Could anyone please add more information about mode=2 ??? PS: I have mangled the URL links because some stupid filter in the forum thinks I'm posting images and blocks my post.
Yay! It seems that the answer is in this very forum!! A user called "krazymatt" said this: Those options appear to be mode 0, mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3, respectively! Thanks!!
is it so important? edit PHLASH.INI [UI] Advanced=1 hideall=0 save Upon opening the WinPhlash (32 or 64 bit), choose the biosmod click "Advanced Settings" then check and uncheck the boxes so it looks like this: ("Flags" Tab): [ ] Verify BIOS part number [ ] Flash only if BIOS version is different [ ] Flash only if BIOS version is newer [ ] Verify BIOS image size [ ] Verify BIOS checksum [ ] Zero block before erasing [x] Verify block after programming [x] Disable Axx swaping automatic detection (if present) [ ] Clear CMOS Checksum ("DMI" tab) "Update": Select "Update the BIOS and not DMI" and see what append in ini file regards
Thanks TTAV134 ! I've already screwed up a laptop by doing a bios upgrade without fully understanding the switches (the MAC address of the internal ethernet card was erased!!). I'd like to have a better understanding of the options before I use them, but it's really hard to find documentation about these tools. Kind regards.
