    RT809H Programmer Firmware Corrupted

    This is a shot in the dark, but I was just using my RT809H programmer and it got stuck in a certain state so I power cycled it. Now, the device LED just flashes quickly and does not connect to the software. I've tried to update the BIOS of it and it fails. I went so far as to remove the ROM from the programmer itself but it's some weird chip (I believe ATMEL, but I can't find any datasheet on it) so I've been unable to read the BIN from it w/ my other programmer. Chip has ATMLHC4C56BM CN written on it (I think). I'll upload an image. I have the programmer's BIN ready to program it manually. Anyone else have any idea on how to get this working? I'd contact iFix themselves but everything is in Chinese and I don't have WeChat.

    Thank you for your time!

      Flashing LED problem occurs after pressing a button (Jtag compatible mode)
      It appeared in the latest versions.
      On Windows 10, do not click this button. The FT2232 chip switches to Jtag mode,
      That's why two "Texas Instruments xds100-v2" devices appear.

      You install the driver in compatibility mode from the XDS100V2 folder from the already installed program. Put everything clearly. Only install in compatibility mode. You can't install it in WIN 10 that easily. Two Texas Instrument devices disappear. Ports appear.
      Install driver (on two Texas in turn) from the folder: D/ RT809UH/ DRIVER/ XDS100V2,
      two devices appeared "TIXDS100 Channel A and TIXDS100 Channel B"
      then you launch the program, click the "Restore firmware" button. The firmware will be restored and stop flashing.
      The programmer has been restored.​

            Thanks a lot Buddy 👍. I have able to get RT809H connected again.

            Also I have question, when I click on Smart ID button, window opens in which Auto Detect is not getting selected. Please suggest what may be the issue?

                  The new xgecu T76 vs rt809h programmer
                  by sassan
                  hello,

                  i want to buy a new programmer mainly for use for laptops bios chips and i'm between the Xgecu T76 and the famous RT809H.
                  i think that T76 is faster wich makes it the best choice for using Pogo pins,i asked the support if it supports Mec ships found on some Lenovo laptops i didn't get an answer yet.

                  i would like some ideas and which one do you recommend?...

                  CH341A programmer always giving me a corrupted bin files
                  by Kaiser0000
                  Recently purchased myself a Lenovo Laptop L14 Gen 2 AMD version.

                  Like with a lot of these used laptops sold on ebay, they come with a bios password.
                  I tried the typical solutions of unplugging the cmos battery, shorting the terminals, and waiting an hour. Didn't work.
                  So I dug deeper to find out I need a CH431A programmer and SOIC8 clip to read the bios off the GD25Q80CSIG NOR Flash and decrypt the password.
                  I have tried doing this, but each time I try loading the .BIN file in UEFITool, i get: "not a single Volume Top File is found, the image may be corrupted"....

                  Thinkpad Docker G2 Type-C 40AS - Firmware Unknown
                  by TheUser
                  Hello to everyone ,

                  This is my first post here, and i would like to share with you a small story in case you can help me.

                  Docker Type-C Gen 2 - Model 40AS. Was given to me by a friend for free ,but with the problem that you cannot use the video output ports.

                  All ports work , USB , Ethernet, Type C ... but HDMI + Display Port don't work

                  I searched on reddit and google for problem similar to that, and a LOT of people had fixed this problem by updating the firmware. So i tried , i searched and found 1.1.13 utility and 1.1.20 utility that can help...

                  Ubiquiti firmware help. US-8-150W POE
                  by gurj1979
                  Hi guys.

                  I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
                  Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.

                  So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
                  Got New chip and writes good.

                  THE PROBLEM...
                  It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.

                  Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?...
