![]() PHLASH D00A.ROM, without the command line switches, would start up PHLASH and specify the *.ROM file, then you would choose what you want to do in the flash utility screens.Īfter you flash the bios, the first time you boot you will get a “Cmos Checksum Error….” or similar message. Or – it was because I had not specified a *.ROM bios update file on the command line, e.g. – the mboard was detected to not have a phoenix bios version I’m not sure what that message indicates. I saw the screen but it immediately generated an error message: I tried booting with the flash floppy on my 98SE system which has an Award bios version, and typing PHLASH to see what the utility looked like. Intel NBVV (FWH4 4M-bit ROM) CR board ZQFD2.00 BIOS.ROMĤM-bit ROM – the bios flash chips’s capacity is 4mbit ![]() – most of it is in machine characters except for – so – you need BOTH PLATFORM.BIN and D00A.ROM on the flash floppy To FLASH a part you also need the following files:ġ) PLATFORM.BIN (manufacturer specific initialization file) mfg – Manufacturing mode – Automatically reboot without keypress.(after flashing) c – Clear CMOS checksum after programming. s – Silent operation (turn off speaker). I typed PHLASH /? > A:/SWITCHES.TXT (press Enter) to make a text file on the floppy – switches.txt – that has the output text of the result of typing PHLASH /?. There were so many switches listed only the latter part of the text about them was on the screen. When you boot into Dos and type /? after the name of most flash utilities, you get a list of the command line switches. That’s the line that loads PHLASH and the bios update file, and the /things after that are command line switches that perform functions the phlash utility executes automatically.Īpparently what you’re supposed to do is insert the floppy, boot the computer with it, and at the prompt, type: UP, press Enter. It has an UP.BAT file – inside that file (RIGHT click on a *.bat file, choose Edit to read it DO NOT choose Open or double click on it, or it will Run) it has a line (When I boot with it the screen displays Starting Windows 98 – I made the floppy in Windows 98SE – it may copy whatever system files the system has, or it may already have those.) It already has IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS (both are hidden files) and COMMAND.COM (visible) on it. (If the *.bin file were 512kbit it would be an AWARD bios update !) The *.ROM file is the right size (512kbit – 1/8th the size of the bios flash chips’s 4mbit capacity – the update itself is always compressed). The platform.bin file is TOO SMALL to be a bios update ! It has the PHLASH.EXE flash utility (NOT PHFLASH), PLATFORM.BIN, and a D00A.ROM file. (By the way, the first floppy I tried had bad sectors on it and it wouldn’t let me format it, etc.) It showed that it was formatting the floppy and while doing so apparently it extracted files to it. Then with a floppy in a drive, I clicked on OK again, then Yes. I got text flashing by on a small message box, then I managed to make the boot floppy, but there was NO English text on the message boxes, just lines, except for an Error message, and on the buttons – OK, Cancel, Yes, No, etc. I downloaded imp_glve_101.exe and executed it. It may not be an emachines bios version ! You may flash the bios successfully and then find the text in the bios is in Korean ! (Most newer emachines systems do not have Trigem mboards – the mboards are made by various major brands.) They ship their systems all over the world and their systems end up with bios versions suitable for the country the brand, in this case an emachines system, is sold in, but in this case, this bios update appears to be meant for upgrading a Korean bios version ! (They also supply some models sold as HP and Compaq desktop models.) Trigem is a company in Korea that makes Trigem mboards and all emachines systems. It attempts to translate the Korean characters on the right into English on the left. ![]() The Readme file beside the imp_glve_101.exe download on the e4all site says…. NONE of the ones I tried have a bios update listed ! I tried many of the models listed on that page here: Is your emachines model this mboard was / is in listed on the left side of that page ? It SHOULD be ! The only other Trigem bios update there on the e4all site is labelled for GLA. If your mboard is NOT GLVE, there’s no guarantee the bios update will work ! Imp_glve_101.exe is for the Trigem Imperial GLVE motherboard.Īre you SURE you have the GLVE motherboard ? (OR, a *.ROM file can be an AMI bios update file.)įirst of all, are you SURE you got the RIGHT Trigem bios update download? It just occurred to me that a *.BIN file is NOT a Phoenix bios update file !Ī *.ROM file is a Phoenix bios update file ! You are an example of an amateur should NOT flash a bios with a flash utility unless he/she has FULL flash instructions !!
