Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

[pipomolo42]

Hi,

i get this error:

Code: Select all

mstarddc_spi.c: In function ‘mstarddc_spi_init’:
mstarddc_spi.c:151:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘register_spi_programmer’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  register_spi_programmer(&spi_programmer_mstarddc);

In a recent commit, some flashrom functions have been renamed. I have updated the patch accordingly.

Hello, I'm from Germany and I would like to flash my BenQ 2411Z to V2 Firmware. But after executing the following commands:

Code: Select all

wget -O- http://boeglin.org/static/benq/0001-Add ... ocol.patch | patch -p1

Make sure in console (terminal) you past right (full) URL
Wront URL is "http://boeglin.org/static/benq/0001-Add ... ocol.patch"
Right (full) URL is "http://boeglin.org/static/benq/0001-Add ... ocol.patch"

Just delete flashrom folder via "explorer" and start again from step: "svn co svn://flashrom.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom" and right URL.

YOU pipomolo42, YOU ARE A HERO!!! Thank you so much! After you updated the patch I was able to flash V2 and it worked.
I'm so happy now

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you very much guys (Bishi and Pipomolo), I flashed my monitor from V1 to V2 in 30 minutes with Ubuntu.

Sincerely, love you <3

But where to save XL2411Z_V2_20131209_8B72.BIN? (on pc). Do I have to rename /copy it? I don't understand ANYTHING
Maybe someone can do it on TeamViewer for me?
And what/where is burn-in mode, single strobing?
XL2411Z V1.

Edit: I can't even install TeamViewer because of an error.
Edit#2:

sudo i2cdetect -l

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

With disconnected only -- --

Is it /dev/i2c-8 ??

sudo i2cdump -r 0-127 8 0x50 (with connected iiyama):

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abcdef

So I have to do same, but with i2c-8?



Replace 1 with 8 like this? Is 0x50 correct?
Do I have to download something (this patch) or everything do in terminal? I have done "multiverse" things from Bishi's post, page 5.
Standby mode is when the monitor is turned off or when it is turned on with orange led and disabled in system?

Bump

[kamill]

Thanks for helping me But anyway I have done it! Flashed v3 firmware. It took more time ~7min dumping ~20min flashing but it worked! Thanks to pipomolo42 - You are a genius, and to Bishi for His useful post.

[lauzmmj]

All this looks really complicated and i dont want to mess up my monitor Is there any easy way to do this without hardware?

[kamill]

No. But You can study it without updating monitor. You will understand this and You will be ready to flash.

The main instruction site doesn't work anymore :\

So basically it's...

1. Get ubuntu live on CD / USB stick
2. Paste in a few commands
3. Profit ?
