When Lost the first the second was working fine on the 4th version of the UEFI Firmware. Some along the line Samsung driven Magician stopped worki...

Re: My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
My Issues have always been simple: 1) I can't upgrade the firmware back to v3,4,5. Because of the EVSA out of space error issue. And nobody going to Phoenix here to get a software tool to fix the issue and manual clean up the memory space. 2) Software like Samsung Drive Magician and Intel Driver Upd...

Re: My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
PN: IPC-C3517V-WB-FM4U I simply want to flash the BIOS back to ver 3 or above. I can't. The It say "EVSA Out Space". FIT-PC, Compu Lab and Phoenix are doing nothing to provide a Software solution to the issue. I used Linux FWTS. Most the space is free. only 8K needs reclaimed. You can make delete va...

Re: My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
Well I used a online character generator to randomly gen up 400 characters. I then used EasyUEFI to create 23 new boot entries point to MemTest86.EFI. For I select the option Unicode text option and Pasted the 400 characters into it, previewed it. This result in consuming more 50% of the free variab...

Re: My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
no go seems /cvar /v doesn't clear the variables like /patch /cvar does. Know /cvar /patch does clear the variables but also bumps you out of UEFI mode. So must go turn it back on to get the shell or the drives. Then Windows boot entry is automatically regenerated. so it must error out first before ...

Re: My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
Hmm! things did not work out the way I was thinking here. Using EasyUEFI I created and deleted 80 boot entries that should eaten 168 bytes each. and half the EVSA (EFI Variable storage area). However rebooting into "FWTS Live v18.05 "showed remaining space only went from 41574 to 41300. With 91 vari...

My Research EVSA out of Space & ? Engineer
First, I can make and delete boot menu entries with no issue. Second, UEFI v3 worked fine before messed the PC by reverting to v2. Third I can boot the machine. It just auto powers off after a time instantly. Maybe temp sensor trip points messed up with all this. Forth the PC won't flash to v3, v4 o...

Re: Weird Bios won't update any more
Seems Fit-PCs, "UEFI Engineer" still hasn't contacted "Phoenix Engineer" for me. That small app to directly perform or directly engage the builtin variable reclaim function from the command shell prompt would really be the ticket here. I've still not be able to find "ToolB.efi" on the www that "Coun...

Re: Weird Bios won't update any more
So want is needed is a UEFI shell tool that flags the UEFI to do the reclaim function now on the EFI Variable Storage area. Now the "BIOS Engineer" should be call PHOENIX on the phone for the special little EFI application here. After all Compulab is the ODM/OEM . They will not talk to the end custo...

so EVSA = EFI Variable Storage Area From Linux you access the NON Volatile NVRAM memory ESVA memory area from /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ each name is the <name of variable> - <GUID> that allows multiples with the same variable name but different GUID each different vendors. (But how to id the vendor...
