Burn Flash a ShoreTel Switch


https://workendtech.com/2012/04/05/burn-flash-shoretel-switch/

I pulled this from my notes earlier, it is something that does need to be done occasionally. If you’ve got a ShoreTel switch acting up this will fix it. Their switches are usually rocked solid but occasionally something gets screwed up and they just need to have a “factory restore” done to them.
This requires you to be logged into your ShoreTel server. You’ll need to know the IP address of your switch. You can get this from Quick Look under the site the switch is on. I’ve done this many times over really terrible connections so there’s not a lot to worry about.
If you’ve got a site with a flaky connection, there are some alternative solutions for you to look into, including secondary servers.
 

  1. Remote into your ShoreTel Server
  2. Open a cmd prompt and type “cd \Pro*”  if you’re running a 64-bit server hit TAB to look for “Program Files (x86) and hit enter. If it’s a 32-bit server you can just hit enter. Now type “cd sho*\*ser*”. You should navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Shoreline Communications\ShoreWare Server. Or just C:\Program Files\Shoreline Communications\ShoreWare Server. This is just a quick way to use wild card characters to get where you need to go.
  3. Type “burnflash -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
  4. Wait for it to reboot, it will either give you an OK message, or an error. The errors usually mean you need to call your partner or TAC because of a bad switch or other problem.

Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware

https://pete.akeo.ie/2011/06/extracting-and-using-modified-vmware.html Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware (updated 2016.05.17 for VMWare UEFI firmware extraction) One day or another, you may want to play with BIOS/UEFI firmware modification. But before jumping into physical motherboard flash alteration, where the consequences of a mishap can be difficult to salvage, experimenting with the BIOS/UEFI in a virtual environment sounds like a sound first step. You have of course the opportunity to do so using  bochs , however the ubiquitous nature and ease of use of the (freely available)  VMware Player  can turn the latter in a much better candidate for the job if you don't really care about the extra features that bochs brings in. This post details how one can extract the BIOS/UEFI firmwares used by the VMWare Player, and how to setup the player to use a modified one. Download and install VMware Player. The current version of VMwar...

https://github.com/the-P1neapple/WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass Overview This guide explains a method to bypass the Microsoft Account (MSA) requirement during the Windows 11 Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) by using the Developer Console to invoke a hidden local account setup screen. This method was discovered by examining the Windows 11 OOBE source code, which revealed an event listener for a hidden  _localAccountButton . Note A faster method has since been discovered using Command Prompt ( Source ), this repo was made 7 months prior to that discovery. The method I have documented is still the only known method for S-Mode installations. Following these steps, you can create a local account without needing to sign in with or create a Microsoft account. I also have a  Youtube Tutorial  that follows the same instructions below Steps to Bypass Microsoft Account Setup 1. Start Windows 11 Setup Begin the Windows 11 Setup Process. Select your region a...
