Few questions for my MSI Eclipse

[scoony]

Hi guys,

I've tried to update my MSI Eclipse but the m-flash (msi flashing tool) feature is crap and killed my motherboard.

I found the flasher on Ebay but I've seen two members here having huge troubles with this USB Flasher.

Any working tutorial or I might be stuck too?

I forgot... it's a MX25L320 chip (according to the msi forum: http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160064.0 )

Try this thread http://blackcatusb.net/index.php?threads/cannot-connect-over-spi-winbond-w25q64bv.209/ specifically post #18 there is a pdf from a guy who had his issue resolved. Different chip but same principal.

Ok, I'll have a look... was it sorted for the two members with the Eclipse Motherboard?

Ouch... i'm running Windows 8 x64, will it works? (I ask cause the drivers needs to be signed on this one)

The test mode might work on Windows 8?!

Anyone can test?

- run command prompt as admin (left click in the bottom left corner of your screen)
- run "bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON" and "bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON"
- restart to apply (a watermark will appear)

Now you might be able install unsigned drivers and use the software.

PS: to remove this mode, run same command with OFF instead of ON (both commands) and restart.

Not sure if the other guys ever got it to work , as some tend not to reply ....
Not tested this on Win 8 yet , the drivers were only signed for win 7 versions , but as you have found out above it is possable.
