    So im trying to blind flash my alien so far without success. :( I've been using this guide: ( BIOS Recovery in case you brick your M17xR3) but i can't figure out what to name the bios file on the flash drive. I'm just trying to get the stock A08 bios up and running at this point, but its not going well so far. :confused:
