Perhaps one of you lot could talk me through this? I'm successfully reading and writing chips but rebooting my Blade 17 Pro seems to be writing back the old files over the top as part of the boot up process - has anybody else noticed this?
Maybe @hackness you could chime in?

Could you elaborate, how'd you notice it was rewriting the ROM? Give a system log or something?
I'm also wondering this, I just got a programmer myself to flash my own SPI chip because I'm experiencing some super-persistent rootkit malware. Remote access from bootup that manages a bunch of system policies in the background and is extremely good at hiding itself. I have an LG Gram 17, I made a few long posts in the thread over in the LG forum. -
It ended up being a failsafe built into the Razer Pro models at least - it will reflash the BIOS with one stored somewhere hidden on the board if there are many failed boots or file corruption detected. -
What kind of BIOS does your razer use? Phoenix, AMI etc? -
Razers on AMI Aptio V atm.Last edited: Jul 6, 2020
