    Hi

    Can anybody reload "Insyde H2OFFT (Flash Firmware Tool) Version (SEG) 100.00.05.02 - For Linux (H2OFFT-Lx64)" ?
    (previous link is down)
    Or newer version?
    also need any efi ver higher than isflash12r.efi
    or any hints where to search (or extract from modern .fd capsules)
    Thanks!

    because "isflash12r.efi curbios.rom -G" saves just empty file on flash drive (full of 0x00) on my G50-30 (with a7cn48ww inside), so i think it is dangerous to try to write bios with it (also i need to write modefied bios so most possibly i need linux ver only which could override bios version and checksum)

    i did extract a .efi version from the last available a7cn48ww BIOS capsule (with phoenixtool and extracting .efi PE from BIOS15.BIOS just by saving the whole file starting from MZ)
    it runs like a H20 util but seems it does all verifications and doesnt support commandline (-G -H etc. ) i.e. it is not a "isflash1xx.efi version (or i did miss the correct file)
    So if you have any knowledge on this (capsule format or .efi H2O flasher utils) plz advise!
    Thanks

    @smx06

    Which type of modification do you want to achieve? FYI, the Linux variant doesn't allow you to flash unsigned image.

    seems DSM_RS3614xs+_8451.pat (.pat is just .tar) contains nothing about Insyde H2OFFT (Flash Firmware Tool)
    so requesting the reupload of the file above ("Insyde H2OFFT (Flash Firmware Tool) Version (SEG) 100.00.05.02 - For Linux (H2OFFT-Lx64)")!

    @quid: @all:

    running "H2OFFTSx64.efi rom.rom -G"
    prints me: "Error: IHISI 14h failed" internal error 24"

    Any hints how to bepass it?
    is this read protection? (while open for write, what's the idea of such)

    H2OFFTSx64.efi works like a charm writing any bios version (with -MC)

    BTW: H2OFFTSx64.efi seems just prepares something ,
    then reboot, then "LCFC EC ROM Flash utility 0.04" runs and does the flash (where it comes from? Bios itself? in which mode? EFI, DXE?)
    all goes Ok - 100%.

    But when i try to write moded bios after reboot it says:
    "Insyde H2O Secure Flash, Error: invalid Firmware Image"

    Any chance to skip this check? Or calculate CRC or replace signing?

    Maybe Intel flash Tool could be used to flash without checks? (modding and writing the decrypted rom image grabbed directly by SPI hardware flasher device)

    Thanks for ANY syggestions!
