I apologize if it does not make sense at all since this is my first attempt to flash a bios with unmatched bios ID.
I was trying to flash bios on a Itona TC2331 to get rid of the limitation they put on of any IDE HDD and USB HDD can’t be larger than 64mb.
The current bios rom, flash program and documentation can be found here:
ftp://ftpguest:letmein@ftp.vxl.net/../Utilities/BIOS/TC23YY/
Since I don’t have any working rom so I am hoping to use the file from this board
http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3215#dl
Because they are from the same vendor and used the same chipset. I understand it may not work at all but decide to take the risk.
However, I can’t find any program to flash the bios that can ignore the bios ID. The vendor provided one can flash the bios but does not have the option to ignore the unmatched bios ID. Flashrom failed at probing the chipset.
The building Q-Flash tells that it is MX25L4005 which should be supported by Flashrom. I also tried “internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop” and still no success.
So I am not sure what else I should try to make Flashrom work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
