Hi,
When i a doing a FPTW64 -greset on my system iam getting "could not set global reset bit" or something like that.
I flashed to bios i extracted from the .cap file with an external SPI flasher. BIOS is fine so what might be my problem here
and how can i fix it?
It seems that your flash descriptor is locked. If you have an SPI flasher maybe you can clean the ME section of the bios following the tutorial here and flash using an external programmer. Also you can try the Pinmod to unlock flash descriptor.
To confirm you can try “fptw64.exe -d spi.bin” if you get an error 26 “CPU…” is that your flash descriptor is locked and you cannot access to me section of the BIOS.
Good luck
Thanks. Actually i can dump the bios:

If you have no problems then you don’t need to do a “-greset”. You can do it manually by removing all power from the system (AC + battery, RTC is ok) for 1 minute.
