No, you need to rename my modded "platforms.ini" to "platform.ini".

 

1. Delete the files you copied over from the temp folder. 

2. do the steps to create the temp folder again, but before copying them go to View settings in File Explorer and turn on "show hidden files"

3. copy all the files from the temp folder to another location again.

***NOTE: mine did not contain a platform.ini, only a platforms.ini

4. copy the platforms.ini and rename the copied one to platform.ini (no "s") but keep the "s" one as well.

5. open up platform.ini and change the batterycheck to 0 (DO NOT DO IN THE platforms.ini file)

6. run the insydeflash.exe as administrator

Worked!

You are the best!

Here is my A12 dump for mod:

I think that there is an instruction inside the EXE flasher's code that verifies the content of "platforms.ini"

Discovered!

The flasher really generates the file "platforms.ini". If that file doesn't exists on folder, the flasher creates the file itself. I tried to use a "generic" Insyde flasher and the cenario is the same. If I rename your "platform.ini" as "platforms.ini", the flasher substituts your "modded" one

Ok. Try to use this "platforms.ini" file:  https://files.fm/u/jebj5gn2j

No, just upload your file "platforms.ini" into any fileserver (for example https://www.sendspace.com ) and post the link.

Hello guys!

I'm trying to update the BIOS of my friends' Inspiron 5537 to post here for mod, but the flasher doesn't proceed to flash because the battery of laptop isn't charging anymore. Everytime I changed the field "batterychek=1" to "batterycheck=0" on file "platform.ini", the flasher changes its value to 1 again e ask for a charged battery. How can I bypass this?
