This video is an update to one I posted nearly two years ago. I follow the same process as I did then and update to the latest version of the EeePC 1005HA BIOS (at the time of posting, that version is 1401). I am still mastering screen captures with a camera (without software), so I apologize for some slightly blurry scenes. The webpage for the Asus BIOS updates is: www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1005HA_Seashell/#download In the video, I rename the BIOS file to "1005HA.ROM" (no quotes). As always, proceed at your own risk.

  1. Formated 1Gb flash to FAT(default alocation), keeps reading 1005HAG.ROM and stays idle without writing (i waited for more than 5 minutes). Is this normal? Thank you !
  2. MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS DESDE ARGENTINA!!!
  3. Despite there's only 1005P.ROM file on usb drive, it keeps telling it is not found :(
  4. 4gb ram vardı 3.25 kullanılıyordu dediklerini yaptım 765 mb kulllanılabilir miktar diyor nasıl çözeceğiz????
  5. hey guys. my updating is taking too much time. almost half an hour. is this normal? please somebody help me.
  6. Thanks alot even tho its pretty old its still useful. c:
  7. thansk man, i try in eepc 1000h, it's works(sorry my english, i am brazilian)
  8. Hi . Thank you for this video . Newest version is 1601 . I mannaged to get the screen where says USB device found . Reading file. However it's been a while and nothing else hapends. Just the "_" blinking. Is this ok?. Is it any difference which USB port do I use?. Right now I am using the left side USB port.
  9. Прошил 1015PD, используя SD 32Mb. Где-то предлагали создать на USB, небольшой логический раздел, метров 10.
  10. A MIGHTY THANKS man, I did the same thing before but with "FAT32" and it got stuck at "Reading file" BUT "FAT" works like a charm
  11. Hi, i need to update bios from my asus eee pc 1215B. I have windows 10, but on Asus.com I can choose only windows 7 or 8 from the list of Bios. What can I do?
  12. really clever! But if not able to find <=4 GB stick go with AFUDOS instead
  13. thank you SO MUCH. this worked like a charm! I couldn't find a 4gb flashdrive (apparently they don't make them anymore), so I winged it with a 8gb flashdrive and it worked. I'm on windows xp SP3
  14. Extract, rename files in 900.ROM (for other models of Asus EEE Pc xyz file name will xyz.ROM)
    We create the image of our future stick
    dd if = / dev / zero of = mytestfile.out bs = 1 count = 0 seek = 10M
    Reformatting it to FAT16
    mkdosfs -F 16 mytestfile.out
    Mount
    mount -o loop mytestfile.out / mnt /
    Copy the file to 900.ROM
    unmount
    umount / mnt
    Write the image to a USB flash drive
    dd if = mytestfile.out of = / dev / sdc
  15. I'm trying this update and it's saying reading file for hours (literally) is this normal?
  16. I was very afraid because the process was doing very slowly, but worked perfectly. many Thanks you!!!
  17. Hi, thanks for the video. I upgraded my eee pc 1005hab from xp to windows 7, asus has some bios upgrades at link below. are these updates the same thing you did ? im not sure how to do the bios updates there is no instructions and there is different ones for different issues. thanks for any help http://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/Eee%20PC%201005HAB/HelpDesk_Download/
  18. Well done. I think you are seriously smart. Impressed. Big fan.
  19. Hi! I did everything as said, it keeps repeating:
    Checking for USB device
    USB device found
    Reading file "1005HACG.ROM" (I'm sure I renamed it properly to 1005HA.ROM!)
    File "1005HACG.ROM" not found on USB Device!
    Any solution? Thanks in advance! Your channel is awesome btw, found so many useful thingies here :)
  20. Well It didn't work for me with my 4gb and 16GB USB with the same settings and name, I tried all the BIOS above BIOS v0801 all returned with 1005HA.ROM NOT FOUND and looped until restart. Then after a day triing I found MicroSD with 512MB did the same settings, copied BIOS v1601 renamed 1005HA.ROM and worked perfectly. I needed It for better wifi performance.
    (FYI: Anyone having an Asus Eee PC 1001HA like me, has to rename the rom file to 1005HA.ROM not 1001HA.ROM #justasusthings  )
