This is all I have......

Very very nice. This works. I could Update my CF-52. But those tools dont accepts moddet BIOS (only said "It seems that the BIOS file is destroyed." and close).

Do u know if this Update-Tool accepted parameter to avoid this?

 

I'm not sure, if the MK1 use the same tool as the MK3 but there was a lot of flags. I had wrote about it in another forum. U will find the flags easily with a disassembler

 

I does exactly what u try, allready

Now i can flash a moded BIOS with "-d" (dont rly know what his job is^^) but it looks like the tool dont flash the whole Bios. Because if i mode some parts of the ACPI-Table it would not be changed.

Why Panasonic dont let as simply flash with the original Phoenix tools? ^^

Code:

Printed by the Tool if try unsupportet [switches]
-------------------------------------------------

Usage> %s [switches] filename 

-mMachineName : Specify machine name
-f            : Wait for no key, update forced
-f0           : No key input needed but can check successfull update
-r            : Reboot even if power-off sequence is supported 
-a            : Use APM to Check AC and Battery status.
-rchk version : where version is the expected BIOS version (such as 1.23)
			If current version is newer than expected, exit code is 0
			If current version is equal to expected,   exit code is 1
			If current version is older than expected, exit code is 2
			Otherwise 255 will be returned
-mlist	      : Print supported machines list.

Found in the Tool with Disassembler and Function are know
---------------------------------------------------------

-wbd 	      : write "Board Revision Data"
-rbd          : read "Board Revision Data"
-wlt          : write "LCD Time"
-rlt          : read "LCD Time"
-wdd          : write "Device Data"
-rdd          : read "Device Data"
-wpc          : write "RECORD WORKING TIME and POWER ON COUNT"
-rpc          : write "RECORD WORKING TIME and POWER ON COUNT"
-sn	      : Set Serial Number ex. -sn[B]serial.txt[/B] (no special format, simply a Textfile with the Info in it)
-cn	      : Set Model ex. -cn[B]model.txt[/B] (no special format, simply a Textfile with the Info in it)
-st	      : Set Asset Tag ex. -st[B]asset.txt[/B] (no special format, simply a Textfile with the Info in it)
-wt	      : Set Ownership Tag ex. -wt[B]owner.txt[/B] (no special format, simply a Textfile with the Info in it)

Found in the Tool with Disassembler and Function are unknown
------------------------------------------------------------

-d            : dont know exact usage but it let me flash ROMS if CRC is wrong
-cboot	      : dont know (nothing happend, maybe it reboot if needed or possbile after flash)
-x	      : dont know (looks like this clear serial number and model number)
-partial      : dont know (tool only shows "Usage" maybe it has to be combine with a other switch)
-sum=	      : dont know (dont work together with -d but shows the CRC Error for the Bios-File, that normaly is not shown)
+bb	      : dont know (nothing changed (what i see) combined with -d)
-bb	      : dont know (nothing changed (what i see) combined with -d)
-sec	      : dont know (tool only shows "Usage" maybe it has to be combine with a other switch)
-sc3	      : dont know (tool only shows "Usage" maybe it has to be combine with a other switch)
-gen	      : dont know (tool only shows "Usage" maybe it has to be combine with a other switch)
-isec	      : dont know (tool only shows "Usage" maybe it has to be combine with a other switch)
-im	      : dont know (nothing changed (what i see) combined with -d)
-entire	      : dont know (clear LAN MAC and so on)

 

I would try "-im", just saying.
IM is for not checking BIOS file against the machine version.

 

Simply just "-im" or combined with "-d" (because of the modded Bios the CRC changed and the Tool only let me flash with -d).

But thank you in advance for your help

(i will try it at Thursday/Friday because im not at home today :/)

 

I'm not sure, but I would try it out.
----------------------

Cause they want a stabile product for work, a Toughbook.
But it is possible to use the Phoenix or AMI tools for Toughbooks, trust me.

 

HOW HOW!

I try everythink. But every phlash16 Version from 1.1 until 1.7.0.21 want eat my flash files (include the OEM from Panasonic) cause missing platform informations. It looks like the OEM flash file is not complete. I try to backup it with "Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit" but this file is also not comatible with phlash16 :/
