Where to download MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher?

Nice redesign of the MSI forums, however it seems to have broken all download links I could find for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher -- which I am in desperate need of.
For example, the link mentioned at http://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-flash-the-bios-successfully just redirects you to the forums with the message "An error has occured!"
Could anyone please point me to a reliable source for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher? Thanks!

Well according to MSI you should be using MFlash in order to restore a bad BIOS
Things are still not up and running, so this may take a while before things get back (if they planned to get them back).
Sadly I don't have forum flasher on me.. maybe other mod has one.
In the sticky https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0 I found the FPT flasher for socket 1150 boards. Just finished fixing my primary BIOS! All is well again!!!
That's a huge relief. Now I could update my secondary BIOS to 1.7 without fear.

MSI Gaming 3 bios flash

Hi! What is the safest way to flash my mobo to the latest bios? Can someone provide me with the step-by-step guide? My current bios is 2.3.

I guess you mean your board is Z97 GAMING 3.
If so follow the below to flash to latest version 2.6:
A.) Download >>this<< bios archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< .
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB.
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash.

Msi z77a-g45 usb 3.0 Problem

Hi
I have just bought 2 new Seagate eksternal harddisk USB 3.0 2TB and I have a problem. I connected them to the power supply and the usb 3.0 ports and it works as it should but when I reboot or shut down and come back to windows they are not identified by windows and I have to unplug the power supply and put it back in for windows to identify them. That is of course very unpractical. I tried to to use the usb 2.0 ports instead and then windows had no trouble identifying the harddisk at reboot/shutdown. I looked in device manager an there were exclamation marks on two "USB mass storage devices" before windows identifies the harddisk and no exclamation mark when I replug to the power supply. I then updated to the latest usb 3.0 drivers from this site but it didn't help. Btw when I start the computer I can see that bios has recognised the harddisk. So maybe its a windows problem?
Is this an common issue and are there an simple solution?
Thanks in advance.

Attached is a beta bios sent from MSI.

Hi!
I buy this MOBO and i want to flash it to v2.0 or v2.1 bios. But all the versions downloaded from msi support site are corrupted or something. Both v2 and v2.1 are nonflashable via M-flash and when I tried to flash from DOS via afude238 it says that ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.

MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool!!!

Hi guys,
We the forum team have developed a new way of flashing.
You no longer need a floppy or anything, just an USB-stick.
The tool has been tested together with MSI and as far as we have done our testing, there are no problems at all.
As long as the USB-stick is FAT or FAT32 formatted!
However, flashing is allways risky, so if it goes bad it's your own fault, but that goes for all flashing you do.
This tool is intended to flash MSI retail motherboards and laptops,
but if needs you can use any other machine to prepare the necessary stuffs and the USB stick there,
before move the USB stick to the msi product that you want to flash.
The way it works is simple: Download the package and download the BIOS from the MSI website that you want to flash.
The rest is straight forward.
Make sure that your board is set to be able to boot from USB.
So turn on USB Legacy Support in the BIOS.
Boot and press F11 to get the boot-popup and select your USB-device to boot.
(some boards have a different key, like K8N Master uses ESC for the boot-menu)
What ever you do, make sure you read all warnings!
The forum nor MSI is responsible if it fails for you.
Nor is this software supported by MSI technical support!
Please report problems/buggs if you find them.
currently supported OS ( both 32 & 64 bit):
Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (also Windows in Virtualbox under Linux!)
(all kind of versions)
NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> THIS <<< tool here! For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.
This topic is for discussion of and help with the USB flash tool only. If you have a problem with your PC and need help then do not hijack this topic, please start your own new topic in the correct area of this forum!
NEW! >>> Read the comprehensive user guide here! <<<

Hi!
I'm have problem with antivirus program too.

This file is a antivirus testing program?
Hi Max,
"This file is a antivirus testing program? "
yes, the latest version accidentally really become a test for any AV....
in latest 1.13b Avast! no more report false positive,
but all others AV software starting reporting a different false positive results:(all AV listed didn't report false positive problem in a provisional version) Avast! was fixed and no more report the false passivity and passed, but all other AV software started to be a lot confused...
Kaspersky Anti-Virus - Proactive Defense Warning: Riskware detected.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2nd ID - Backdoor.Win32.Iroffer.af
Dr Solomon's: probably found Zafi.D.Virus
Symantec: Bloodhound.Overpacked / * Overpacked when a potentially unknown virus is found using Symantec Bloodhound technology */
Panda: Win32:Trojan-gen.(Mytob.U.Mod)
Mcafe: Worm.W32/Bakain
Dr.Web: Trojan.Blakhal
Bit.Defender: Trojan.JS.Obsq.Gen
Just to clarify one more time, all things listed are false alert coused and exist in latest version only due Avast! fix.(1.13b)
didn't continue to test with rest of AV...
only Avast! and NOD32 report no problem detected.
in 1.13a all false positive listed above doesn't exist, but only Avast! report false positive.
Hoverer, the wave of false positive mess has been resolved along with Avast! false positive as well.
New version is ready, 1.13c:
- fixed false positive wave which confusing most of AV software. (all AV do not report any problems anymore)
- fixed 3 minor bugs:
* after finished work the tool do not quit normal as expected and hang instead, that happend in x32bit OS only when used has been asked for reboot and answered with "No". e.g. in described specified case.
* 4th mainboard filter report positive results in some Biostart mainboard and this cause tool to false ID some Biostar board as MSI one.
* added missing drive letter as USB key choice ("I")

MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

Hi, all!
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

HT5172 Glad to have USB capability on my new iMac. Been in Mac world all of 2 days now. Question - I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and am wondering if flash drives have to be ejected the same as on a PC? Can't find how to do it. Thanks.

Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days. I'm glad to have USB capability. I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive. Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's? Can't find an answer in the support area. Thanks...

Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.

Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a IPod

Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a ipod?

Yes, but it does not work the same way. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer and open it so it looks like a folder. In iTunes, highlight the songs you want, and drag them over to the folder.
If you usually run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so you can do the drag.

How do you download itunes library on to a usb flash drive

I want to download my ituneslibrary on to a sandisc ultra 16GB usb flash drive to play in my truck I never used a usb flash drive before!

You probably don't want the entire library which is essentially everything in the iTunes folder. Some of the files are part of iTunes only.
To add media to a flash drive the easiest way is to simply drag the tracks from iTunes to the flash drive open in a Finder window. This will result in a collection of media files. Depending upon your player you may want more organization than that since it may simply end up playing the files in alphabetical order. You will have to do your own work at this stage and read your player's manual because just about each model is different in terms of what structured playing is supported. Some may read the labels/tags in each files as you see in iTunes, other may play folder by folder, some may require a specially formatted text file playlist, others don't support any structure and if you want to change play order you have to edit the file names, etc.

Where is the link to download apple mobile device USB driver software

I need to download apple mobile device USB driver software but can't find it onlie. Advice where i can download it from much appreciated.

I had the same problem with my iTouch when I upgraded to iTunes 10. I'm not sure if my problem was the same as with the nano but every time I reinstalled iTunes and plugged in my Touch, I got an error message for driver installation and the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager with a little yellow exclamation mark. The error message that came up stated something about the digital signature of the driver not being right. The fix that worked for me was as follows:
Delete the 2 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver files. If you right click on the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager and select properties it will tell you where they are located in the windows folder. My 2 files for windows 7 64 bit were:
usbaapl64.sys
usbaaplrc.dll
With ipod disconnected, restart computer and press F8 to enter boot menu.
Select boot option without digital driver signature support.
After boot, connect ipod and driver should automatically install correctly without error.
Good Luck
I called Apple and they would not provide any unpaid support for iTunes issues.
