Thanks for sharing, I successfully performed a V2 => V8 upgrade yesterday.Cecil wrote:thanks alot that worked for me!davidm71 wrote:Just follow the tutorial on page 21.akhyg wrote:can someone update the tutorial for linux and upload links for xl2411z ? i got v1 now
download the prepatched Flashrom package that was posted on page 50:
https://www110.zippyshare.com/v/qacsLHgR/file.html
Just copy the folder to your desktop and compile it after you
make sure you 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' before you compile Flashrom
use Ubuntu 18.04 instead but instead of: "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse"
change trusty to bionic. Actually that line already exists but its bionic not trusty anymore. Just add universe multiverse to it.
Use nvidia graphic card. Intel IGPU failed me. Have a couple backup computers to experiment with. Bricking may happen without warning...
Good luck.
i was able to update my 2nd XL2720Z to V008 (as the other one had this by default). tho i didnt really see what the difference between V7 and V8 is...
i'll leave it here so someone might find this useful:
"BenQ_XL2720Z_FW_V008_20160815_backup.7z"

take care

But now I have this:
Code: Select all
Erasing and writing flash chip... FAILED at 0x00051000! Expected=0xff, Found=0x37, failed byte count from 0x00051000-0x00051fff: 0xfd0
ERASE FAILED!
What chip did end up working for you? The "identify flash chip" returned three possibilities for me.richiehawtin wrote: Important: My chip didnt have the name: MX25L1605A/MX25L1606E. It was different. Keep this in mind. You may need to change that in the following steps. (My chips was on bus 7 btw)
