    T203 AsProgrammer Error

    I bought the T203 programmer and unsoldered the T2 ROM chip from the A2159 and put it in the T203. Then connected to Win 8 via USB AsProgrammer started and when I want to read it an error comes up! See pictures. I also tried it on Win 10.

    Hello, I have a problem. I unsoldered the chip from my Mac A2159 and put it in the T203. When I open As Programmer and click on Read ID I get the error message Error connecting CH341! What's wrong there? Please help. Thanks

    Remove all devices from the programmer socket.

    Then try to connect again.

    The fault is that the tool itself cannot be found.

    This has to do with the ch341 driver package.

    Confirm the usb cable; usb socket..try a different port on your PC; be sure the driver package from WCH is the latest.

      Re: T203 AsProgrammer Error

      Hello mon2, yes I made it now. I was able to read and write to the T2 ROM. Apparently the serial number has been swapped. I did the restore too. But now I have to activate it or not? The Mina T2 Activation was not on the USB stick, I loaded it from the network, but it does not work. What else has to be done? Do I still have to pay for software to activate? I hope it's okay now? I bought the t203 and thought it would work with it? greeting

        4. According to the new operation method, read the original ROM data, then change the new serial number, write the data back to the ROM chip, and finally use the T203 software to bypass the activation lock.
        5. Remember: After changing the serial number and writing back the ROM data, you must not enter the DFU mode to use the "Apple Configurator" software to restore the T2 system.

        I don't understand what to do after writing the ROM. Shouldn't I use the Apple Configurator?

                    I think it's near the optical line 5 block

                      The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
                      by STKR123
                      Greetings badcaps community,

                      I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                      So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                      Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                      I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                      These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                      I learned that desoldering...

                      RT809H Programmer Firmware Corrupted
                      by Teeheeze
                      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...

                      Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
                      by inck243
                      Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

                      The BIOS...

                      ITE IT8390 (IT8390E-256) programmer "ITE Download Board 4" user manual + firmware, flashing ITE ECs on the cheap
                      by H34TO
                      Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...
