DosFlash and DosFlash32 V1.4 Beta
-----------------------------------
- DROM6316 flashing support
- a flash erase is now always done with a chip erase and not a sector erase command, because
  the sector erase gives problems for some Winbond flash chips including the DROM6316
- DosFlash.typ corrected and updated
- for a detailed explanation on the soft unlock look at the included file SoftUnlockByIriez.txt,
  it contains a very good explanation by Iriez from XBS, thanks for that one!

Thanks to Iriez, Jumba, Redline99 and Tiros for help and support.

Happy DROM bricking!

Hello
Thanks
What is the command for Erase with DosFlash16 now please ?

Before :
DosFlash E XXXX 1 A0 1 4 D8
After :
?

Thanks

[Schtrom]

Replace the sector erase cmd opcode for the chip (in your case D8) by the chip erase cmd opcode for the chip, this should be C7 in your case.

[Tetsumaki]

Thanks
How does it know about a sudden ?

[Schtrom]

DosFlash.typ holds all the values for the different chips. If you don't know what opcode to use look it up in there for the chip you use.

[Tetsumaki]

Thank you very much and good job !

Can somebody explain me why I have this problem most of the time ?
Intel 82801EB onboard and VIA 6421 card 1Gb int. mem.
Bios is up 2 date off the mainboard

... An internal stack overflow ....
... Change the stacks settings in your config.sys file ...

I made a config.sys file but it will not help ( 9 out of 10 try's I have this error )

Autoexec.bat
DOSKEY

Config.sys
STACKS=64,512
FILES=60
BUFFERS=40

I tried to flash my Benq drive with V1.4,everything works reading and erasing till the writing part, it asks to PRESS YES TO RESEND THE MTK VENDOR INTRO COMMAND and to switch the xbox 360 on after that but there is no yes and no option to select Y for Yes so it only hangs on WRITING 0%.Please help don`t know what to do.

I tried flashing with V1.3 and it worked perfect, did anyone experience the same problem as I did?

[Nemorensis]

Hi,

for the stacks, just wait more time between your actions. Normally it should works.

[doubljdog]

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times, but i was wondering if there is any certain reason the the via 6412, nforce and possibly other via chipsets are the only compatible chips for softflashing? Is there a certain reason ICHx intel chipsets wouldn't work with the proper coding,

[Schtrom]

It looks like the ICH chipsets BIOS disconnects the attached device if you power off the drive. After that the drive will not be recognized in DOS and so flashing it would not be possible. So you can do a normal flash with an ICH chipset, but a soft only flash on a protected flash chip will fail. Feel free to correct me on this e.g. jumba.

hey Schtrom I was wondering wether you could escape from resending the mtkflash vendor intro constantly...i.e press y to resend it...it's sending it's sending but nothing is happening (it works for me dw) you can't do anything else but either wait till the drive is detected or restart your whole computer...what I am saying is would it be possible to put in a "press escape" sort of thing? (so you don't have to restart the whole computer) - just a suggestion

Try pressing CONTROL - C, does wonders for me.

[gigabite]

oh...havn't tried it but thanks for the tip

[notherbastard]

just discovered, for some reason, it depends on which machine i'm flashing on, on mine, it don't work, on the 2 others i use (often...) it does... hmmmm.

[MoDInside]

does someone know if dosflash works on a nvidia 790i motherboard? to flash ms28 and benq drives, thanks in advance.
