    Hi everyone. I made the mistake of updating my bios from A01 to A09. (Now I've learned that I was supposed to go to A02 first, then A09.) The update froze midway through the process and I have a very nice brick now. I've read some of the forum threads about blind flashing. Does anyone know which file I should use to recover the A01 bios on a blind flash attempt? Much obliged.

    You could use the A09. It would do the same :)
