Error 43 in the CH341A programmer

The other day I ordered a batch of CH341A programmers in China, which are used to flash 24-25 series memory chips.
But as it turned out, when connected to Windows 10 and 7, a message is displayed that "USB device is not recognized."
Initially I thought that the problem was in the CH341A chip itself, but it turned out that everything was much simpler.

Screenshot

Also, in “Device Manager,” Windows defined it as “Unknown USB Device (device handle request failed)”,
and in the properties, writes about the error "The Windows system stopped this device, because it reported the occurrence of problems.
(Code 43) and, of course, the VID and PID (VID_0000 & PID_0002) are incorrectly defined.

Screenshot

Opening the CH341A documentation and looking at examples of schematic diagrams, you can see that 12 MHz quartz is used everywhere.

Screenshot

And on the CH341A programmer itself, the quartz is set to 27.120 MHz

Screenshot

We take a soldering iron and unsolder the wrong quartz 27.120 MHz and solder a new one at 12 MHz.

Screenshot

We connect the programmer CH341A to the computer and see that the OS has a new device with VID and PID wine (VID_1A86 & PID_5512)

Completion of the programmer

In the process of working with the programmer revealed some shortcomings,
one of them: it is not possible to reset / set the QE bit in the second status register.
We read datashit, for example, on the chip W25Q64FV, and we find the puntQuad Enable (QE) ,
in which there is a warning:
WARNING: If the / WP or / HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground during
standard SPI or Dual SPI operation, the bit should never be set to a 1.
To fix this flaw, you need to detach the legs #WP (pin 3) and #HOLD (pin7) from VCC
and connect them to VCC via resistors 4.7 com.
On the "black programmer" it looks like this:

Can you please tell me if I can use the CH341A to flash the W25Q64FVSIQ chip?
If so, what specific software?
I was busy all day - I did not find a program that would support this chip.
I chose similar ones - anyway, errors during cleaning (although it reads normally).

I just erased and then successfully flashed Winbond W25Q32 protected erase / write chip from Huawei WS319 router (promotional from Kyivstar) using AsProgrammer.

How to sew Asus .rom

In the program you open the file, select it by writing the name in the window or selecting it by clicking on the file, and then you write it in the chip. If this is an EFI UEFI BIOS, and it has the extension .CAP, then you need to cut off the first 2048 bytes and save. The resulting file can be sewn.

You can listen to the video and study the article (study before FITS). You can simply cut off the first 2048 bytes, this is the UEFI Capsule header.

Is it possible to flash the BIOS chip on the MXIC MX25U12873F motherboard with the help of the 3.3->1.8V? This chip is very similar to the MXIC MX25U12835F, which is in the list of supported.

Hello everyone! Tell me please, you need to flash the MX25L3206E router chip when I connect the programmer to usb, the chip heats up instantly, even soldered to the board that came with the programmer. With what it is connected, I can’t understand. The chip itself is already covered? Tell me please.

As it turned out you can. I merged the old one and uploaded the new firmware with a flashrom. All OK.

[rugraver]

I ask for help, dear forum users, I try to flash the chip for the first time and it does not work.

There is an ENVISION monitor, only the brand logo appears, and “Not available. Permission” when connecting VGA and HDMI.
The breakdown happened after the blackout of the apartment.

There is a new CH341A with an adapter, a handful of MX25L2026D chips (M1I-12G,specifications) and firmware from the workshop (master post about the exact same monitor)

In the review of this programmerindicatedthat this IC is supported.
But in the software CH341A Programmer v.1.30, only MX ******* C and MX ******* E are automatically detected, when choosing any of these profiles, the chip seems to be read, but does not erase itself (the operation occurs instantly, writes "erased" but nothing changes), and does not allow to fill in the firmware. When reading, the second LED of the programmer lights up yellow, with other operations it does not light up.

AsProgram assumes write protection:

AsProgram swears

The same thing seems to be read, but it does not allow itself to be erased and recorded.

Colibri writes something about the status register:

Colibri handcuffed

Same.

Tell me what am I doing wrong?

[avasiliev91]

rugraver,
Try to see the status register of this chip. There, bits that are once flashed may already be raised to one. And read the datasheet on it about the status register.

Got an answer to your questionon the forumEasyelectronics, I will attach the answer here for the story, so that others, if they did not suffer from this ms.

writesspuller:

"MX25xxx26 series (seehttp: //www.macronix.co...sh/Pages/default.aspx)- with special default protection; - for special applications (however, MX25L2026E does not have special protection, only the normal enable bit in the status register). So from MX25L2026C.pdf (see p. 4): there is an extra bit to prohibit writing to the status register (set by default). For writing / erasing - it is necessary to perform the Flowchart 1 procedure every time (see page 9) for addresses 03A000h - 03AFFFh (see page 5, Table 1), and Flowchart 2 (see page 10) for addresses 000000h - 039FFFh (see page 5, Table 1). For the MX25L2026D, no one gives reference data - perhaps special, customized series. There is a high probability that the algorithm is the same, although there may be differences. Few progers introduce special procedures for individual instances - therefore, using such ms is possible only with the help of scripts. "

Hello everyone, the programmer arrived the other day, downloaded the program: CH341A Programmer: Attached fileCH341A_1.30_ (558_chip) .zip, but the winbond 25Q64FVSIG chip at 8mb did not want to identify and read it, it got into the Internet and downloaded the old 1.18 program at least periodically and She cursed and it seemed to me that she cursed when she turned the slider on the main program window, but she still thought the chip, erased it and wrote it down while doing everything through the clothespin without discharging the chip itself.
I think you need to add the old version of the program to the header or something is wrong with version 1.30 and fix it.
