I did i test mod for a dell xps 400 by inserting the m09 slic 2.1 into the bios and tried flashing and it worked i dont now if maybe it was glitch or not.
Well, I have always thought it was possible. I expected that the 5 byte header would have to be built (we can do that, the index byte may have to be experimented with, but the 4 length bytes we could definetely do) there is the issue whether it matters if the index byte precedes or should be behind the length bytes or if there is a way we could determine which would be best and I am unsure of the first byte of the actual module, I think there is an extra byte added to the start of the module, most of the modules start with either 00 or 40 (slic modules anyways), I suspect that indicates the module type ie, to indicate a hole.rom...But this is just speculation... Do you have a link to the bios you flashed? I would be very interested in looking at it... Also, does it activate? does slic show in the slic dump toolkit?
Yeah i seen that there was alot of ff's so i just figured that that was data not written onto yet. Dont want to post anywhere till maybe we get more successful installs with it. now if i can only make a install executable
You mean to install the bios, np, we can rebuild the executable easily.. Andyp can even incorporate in his new phoenix tool, I am sure. Do you want me to build the exe?
Sure and have andy look at it and see what he thinks i dont want to be responsible for bricked boards or anything
wolf69, I have a couple question, how did you flash your PC with the new bios? Did you use that actual file, it is 16 bytes too short???? anyways, here is a rebuilt executable, with the 16 bytes missed. Do you want to check that out, see what you think? here is the rom file I based it on...
well, the file I uploaded should be right then, I'll post this in the Dell thread once you upload the proper file for me to double-check...
How is about the strings after "RSDT" string which are not match with slic 2.1. Waiting for Wolf69 to install W7.
Installed windows 7 but it didnt activate used the slic dump 2.3 and the rsdt table didnt match sorry for the waste of time
