Hercules 3d prophet 9600 BAD FLASH

9th February 2004, 23:23

I tried to flash my ati based hercules 9600 to 9600pro but without succes. Computer does not want to start. I have copy of my old bios and pci video card and tried it to recover but it won't work. i wrote the line: flashrom -p 0 original.bin and get the message: " asic not idle after rom write", "error 0fl01". When i use this command flashrom -i he recognize the ati card. Is there no other command line i should use then "flashrom -p 0 original.bin"?
Tried also other flash programs (atiflash) and tried already different startup disks (win98, dos 6)
Is there somenbody here who had the same problem and can help me?
Or did i messud up the card?

Are you certain the original bios file is named original.bin?

Yes i'm sure about and the lenght of the file (52,248b) is also not the problem. Thanks for your response

yeah i had already seen it but i have no onboard video, i think it's a problem between my bios and my flash program (there is not much choice in flash prog. for hercules). I already looked up much and tried much things out. i think the only way to fix it is to start up with a radeon in my agp slot, write line "flashrom -p 0 original.bin", remove the radeon, put the bad radeon in the slot and push "enter". I tried it with an old nvidea card and it gives no errors and pc does not crash, but flash did not work becouse i started with nvidea. What you think?

hot plugging any PCI/AGP device an destroy your card :/

or just shut down the PC.
Removing isn't that bad (wouldn't do it if the card has an extra power connector) but reseating it is difficukt.
Especially AGP with it's dual layer of connections.
