OEM Logo Mod + M-Flash Recovery, Test and Flash Guide

Hello these days i had a problem with flashing and testing oem logos mods and thankfully i managed to recover from a corrupt bios and also using my custom made logo at 1024x768 resolution.
So here is a guide with all the notes.
A: Lets begin with what you need.
1: MMTOOL which we will use for modding the bios. I used the "MMTOOL_3.22_1B_21Fix-BKMOD" version which works 100% (if its ok i can post it here).
2: GIMP for saving to the right jpg format.
3: An original (not modded) bios for your mobo. Only AMI Core 8 (you'll find out if its not, cause MMTOOL wont load it).
B: Making the fullscreen oem logo.
1: Know that the resolutions supported are strictly 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768. Don't use any other, i tried in vain. :P
2: So here is what to do to make a 4:3 image to show right in widescreen screens.
If you have a 16:10 wide you just multiply height with 1.6 and if you have 16:9 with 1.66. So if you gonna use the 1024x768 resolution you must create an image with 1228x768 for 16:10 or a 1280x768 for a 16:9 widescreen.
3: Now you know the resolution to start. Open your favourite image editor (photoshop, gimp, etc). I used photoshop here.
Create an image with 96 pixels/inch resolution and with width and height appropriate to your screen ratio (4:3, 16:9 and 16:10).
4: Create your image and if you used a widescreen one resize it to 1024x768. So now you have a squished one but it will look ok when you boot because of the upscaling to widescreen ratio that your monitor will do.
5: If you use any other program than GIMP save your image to bmp 24bit format!
6: Open your image with GIMP hit save as and select jpeg image for filetype and then use the setting as are in the image below and save (the settings are crucial. Important to use them as is, but you can change percent quality only):
Here's mine what looks like (which will look nice at my 16:10 screen), open it in new to tab to see its full size
C: Modding the bios.
1: Rename your bios filename extension to .rom load it with MMTOOL
2: Go to "Replace" tab and choose your jpg. Select from the modules at the list down the one which has "0E" for id and says "OEM Logo" and hit replace.
3: Don't worry about the jpg size cause most certaintly your bios rom has space and also MMTOOL use compression in modules. Mine was 104kB and in bios was 85kB.
4: "Save as" your bios and you are ready to flash or test.
Extra step: See D section if you gonna use M-Flash for testing it before flashing or for actual flashing (for flashing better use the forum flasher here though).
D: M-Flash Guide
Preparing the usb device:
M-flash is picky little bastard when it comes to fat and fat32 specs and formatting with windows or mac os x tool will not work. So you'll need HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Download it here http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml and use it to format your usb with its default settings.
Your bios needs to have specific name, example for p45 platinum: A7512IMS.1XX (where XX are numbers, you can also use letter for the 2nd one)
Testing and flashing:
To test use the option "Boot" from M-Flash menu at your bios and select the file from the line under it.
It will restart and use the bios from your usb. When it something is gonna showed up on your screen hit TAB to see if your new OEM logo works or any key just to test the bios if its working
Recovery:
If you flash a corrupted bios and the boot block was ok then your motherboard will start in M-Flash Boot mode on its own.
Just prepare a usb disk with HP formatting tool and place your bios inside with its original name and plug it on any motherboard usb port.
Start your pc and it will load the bios from the usb drive. You dont need to press CTRL + HOME.
Then hit <F1> to enter the bios menu which will show only the M-Flash menu and update your bios from there.
See also important notes below.
M-Flash Beeps:
4 beeps means "M-Flash Boot mode".
If it beeps 2 long beeps after the 4 beeps it means: no usb drive found or sth is wrong with the filesystem of your drive.
If it starts a 3 beep cycling it means: No bios found or problem with filesystem.
In both just reformat with HP tool copy the bios and try again.
IMPORTANT M-Flash notes:
If it beeps 4 times its surely is M-Flash so if it not boot the bios form usb then sth is wrong with your drive so reformat and try again
You will probably need a usb to ps/2 adapter if you use usb keyboard cause most motherboards cant initialise usb input systems at M-Flash Boot mode, like was mine. Just find the one that came with your keyboard.
Thats all. If something i missed or you want to point down or you want to ask just tell me.

That is probably because OS commands were used to remove files from the Recovery Area and not RMAN commands as only recommended. The entries in v$views are not updated by removing files with OS commands.
Go an see:
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
RMAN> crosscheck backupset;You will see many EXPIRED files there if my theory is correct :-)
Kind regards

Flash eight viewer and flash content in PDF

Has the issue been resolved with flash 8 viewer and flash content in acrobat. I have a document that is due on March 13 and I need to know that if I submit with flash content in pdf that if they have flash 8 viewer installed they will not get caught in buffering mode when they access the files?

Jeff,
This may be a better question for the Acrobat User-to-User forum. This is the Acrobat 3D User-to-User forum.

Record playback is very slow between Flash Media Server and Flash

hi all
I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
that the flv record is being created properly.
Then if I try to playback the record like
NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
slow, for both of audio and video.
And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
(NetStream.play("streamName"))
Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards

In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps.

AX works (client Mode), but odd IP address and flashing orange light

Hi,
Today, possibly after a very brief power cut, my AX stopped working, then seemed OK after restarting my network. However, although I can play over Airtunes, the AX orange LED is continually flashing, and the AX has an odd (self-assigned?) IP address. I can't work this out.
I tried setting it up from scratch. Using the Airport Setup Assistant, tried to connect directly via Ethernet from my laptop (with Airport turned off). It asked me to switch on Airport, briefly found the AX, then refused to find it again.
So, I removed the Ethernet cable and tried using Airport Admin Utility wirelessly. I could connect to the AX as it started up from a hard reset, and I could set it up. However, although it still serves Airtunes, it still refuses to pick up a proper IP address (192.168....), instead having a 169.254... address. And the orange LED still flashes continuously.
I'm connecting to a closed network, using WPA Personal. AX version 6.3. Mac OS X 10.4.9.
The AX connects wirelessly to a LinkSys AP, which is in turn wired to an Airport Extreme BS, which is in turn wired (via a switch) to a LinkSys (wireless) router (long cable runs, thick walls, don't ask!). All has worked flawlessly for years. Still works, but looks like it shouldn't!
Any clues?

Hi. I'm actually having what seems to be the same problem, but after restarting and unplugging everything I can think of, the amber light is still flashing. Other than the light and the 69.47.... IP address (which I'll take your word for it being weird), the network appears to be working fine. Should I just ignore the light? We have three computers connected to it successfully right now, and I'd hate to disturb its mojo if the light isn't important.
Thanks!

Flashing Power Button and flashing red decorative bar on front of desktop tower

a brand new Desktop PC an Envy 700-230qe. Have had it a few days. This is the second one in less than 3 weeks because of the same problem. When the computer is at rest for a little while the power button and the decorative red bar on the front of the computer flashes. I am well aware the power button and the red decorative bar have nothing to do with each other. What is going on? We right now have 5 HP computers in our house. Never has anything like this happened. We are so dissapointed. I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

Hi SunnyNoel,
I have an Envy 810-150se.
When the PC sleeps the power button and the decorative red bar flash on mine also.
I have not found any HP documentation on this but I believe our PC's are designed to flash when in sleep mode.

Flash builder 4 and flash 10.1 standalone debugger issue on osx

If I use the standalone flash debugger version (Flash Player Debugger 10.1.52.14) with flash builder 4 on osx 10.6.3 then this happens:
I compile the project and the debugger opens. If I click the red stop button then it never closes the debugger. I have to close it manually. Doing that means I have to use clean alot more and often up to 3 renders open after that.
If I switch over to the standalone "Flash Player Debugger 10.0.42.34" then the red stop button works fine and I dont get duplicate players launching.
Anyone else experience this?
I don't use the web player versions.

10.1.53.64 is the latest standalone version. Could you please try with that version?
You'll get it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Have the installers for Flash x64 bit and Flash x32 Bit been combined?

Up until just recently there were always 2 different installers for Flash. The 32 bit version and the 64 bit version. Has Adobe now combined the two separate installers in to one? Or do I still need to find separate x64 and x32 bit installers? I seem to be able to find the installer for 11.3.300.265 but it no longer says it is for 32 bit or 64 bit.
I have been searching for some sort of a message or update put out by Adobe Flash announcing that they have combined the two installs, something that should be on the download page in big bold letters so that we know about the change and know we can stop keeping 4 separate installers and reduce it to two.
I am an IT support professional and one of my jobs is to keep up to date with the full installers for things like Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave etc so that we can supply our customers with the latest updates, no spam involved and no tricks to install additional UNNEEDED and UNWANTED junk ware such as the MacAfee Security Scan Plus or Google Tool Bar that they try to trick you into installing, by pre-checking it, AN EVIL THING TO DO TO UNKNOWLEDGEABLE USERS, and the main reason we have to find and download the FULL INSTALLERS sans the crap ware ourselves and cannot trust Adobe to provide us with Crap Ware Free installs etc. ( For Shockwave we have to manually install it ourselves, a very time consuming thing since it ALWAYS tries to trck the user in to installing EVIL CRAP WARE such as Google Tool Bar and Norton's Security junk. If these were not EVIL programs and crap ware then they would not need to pre-check their installation, but they must obviously be EVIL CRAP WARE since they have to resort to tricking usurers in to installing them via a pre-check.
Thanks,

Hi,
I would recommend posting this qiery in the Adobe Reader / Adobe Flash Player forum.
Thanks

A Flash Video Server and Flash Security

We are using Flix and Squeeze to create new Flash 8 SWF
movies from our AVI files. Short 1 - 2 minute tutorials.
We would like to be able to save them on our server and allow
different websites to add a custom Flash Player to their site and
watch these videos from their pages. The player gets an XML
playlist of up to 50 videos and we would like to be able to play
one or more of the movies on the webpage of our partner.
However, this seems to cause (2) security violations in the
Flash 8 environment. We need to add a crossdomain.xml file on our
server to allow other sites to access our swf files, and
apparantly, we also need to use actionscript
System.security.allowDomain() to allow the parent SWF player to
control the video in the player (stop, start, pause, etc.).
Does anyone know more about this situation? How can we add
the allowDomain() to an SWF created by Flix or Squeeze, or is there
another way to communicate the allowDomain(). Can we pass anything
in the XML itself, does it have to be in the SWF.
In Flash 8, every SWF must communicate the allowDomain(). In
earlier versions of Flash, only one SWF needed to open the sandbox
for any other SWFs from that domain.
Did we misunderstand the requirement? Our Flash developer
can't figure out a way to make this happen, but I am sure others
have been able to make it work. Otherwise, how can any of the Flash
hosting companies allow these movies to be downloaded off of their
sites.
Any advice would be appreciated...

Hello Thanks for reply,
Its many to many chat and every one can speak and listen. There may be 10-12 users in a room at a time and also the number room can be several.
So what type of server I should take. Some delay is acceptable.

Flash Builder 4 and Flash Player Version

Is any particular version of Flash Player required to run what's generated by Flash Builder 4? I've tried to find the answer but haven't turned up anything after an hour of searching...
I'm trying to decide whether to buy Flex 3 or Flash Builder 4 to use at work and I don't control what version of Flash Player my organization uses.
TIA

Thanks. But my customers won't necessarily have the latest version of Flash Player. In fact, it's likely they'll be behind and they do not have the option of downloading the latest version - that's strictly controlled. So if I deploy something built with Flash Builder 4, will my customers be able to see it with Flash Player 10 (It looks like the latest and greatest is Flash Player 10.1)?

Difference between flash builder beta and flash builder beta 2 webservice.

hey guys... got a quick weird question, im using a lot of webservices, and i immidiately noticed the new thing in the interospection wizard, there is a new field in the wizard called "Data type package", i was wondering what that field is exactly??
i never noticed anything like that in the previous versions of flex,
from my understanding it just sticks all the main components under "valueObjects"
Thanks in Advance

so let's say you have some php service and it returns a collection of objects through amf.
for example your php has something like:
$array = new array();
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2009;
$car1->model = 'ford';
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2005;
$car1->model = 'audi';
$array[] = $car1;
$array[] = $car2;
return $array;
well, when FB receives this data (when your return the config type) it will recognize that you're returning a collection of objects, specifically a collection of car objects that contain two properties (year:int and model:String).
FB will offer to generate the Flex car class for you and you can store this autogenerated class in your valueObject folder (or whatever folder you want).
does that answer your q??
