Yes i am talking about the acer i reported last month.. so if i understand, i must before flashing make a backup with the good chip installed with the command : [sudo flashrom -r fichier.ROM]
"The filename and his extension is it important? and is it sure there are no risk for the good chip?" and after i had to install the bad chip and flash it with the command [sudo flashrom -w fichier.ROM] But i had try to flash the bad chip with the bios that i have saved last month and it make error to write(the command i try was [sudo flashrom -w 61AO615.BIN], Erase the chip with the command [sudo flashrom -E] is ok This night i'm at work and i have no access at my pc so i send you the log of my attempt tomorow Thanks for your work and your answers and excuse me for my english (i'm french) Good night 2012/2/8, Stefan Tauner <[email protected]>: > On Wed, 8 Feb 2012 20:47:13 +0100 > Vince S <[email protected]> wrote: > >> can i restore my bios from my linux session or do i have to reboot (i have >> another bios with i can reboot) to flash it from a freedos live usb? > > *if* you are talking about the acer you reported last month and *if* i > understood your question correctly, *then* you should be able to write > the flash chip with flashrom in your linux session. your previous log > confirmed at least that erasing works. writing will almost always work > if erase works. if you read out the good contents with -r, install the > bad chip, write the previously read good content with -w, the two chips > should be identical. please ask further questions if something is not > clear. > > -- > Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner > _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
