yes, i understand tep by step but i can't boot DOS by USB bootable with file that you supplied, i don't know how can i do that. All step create usb boot is wright, i installed win7 in partititon C final: i want change service tag so that unlock slic 2.1 in bios thanks support me! thanks so much
You know, I really think unlucky. The reason I say that is I feel that Dontshoot is very reliable for reporting it (the bios) working. I really believe him as he spent some time waiting for a working mod and had gone through the hotflash recovery method with other mod attempts. Maybe try again since you do have the second 630i and can recover. and please let us know how it goes. Shakey ps, maybe try these switches, awdflash.exe a13.bin /f /py /sn /cc
firts many thanks for this great post, i flashing bios of d420 wit phoneix bios dowload form here easy only click and magic slic 2.1 wit vostro 1000 not is easy y dowload from here a archive rom but not posible click over windows how use to flash this? best regardsnecom.
Thanks for the quick reply. Your spot on, it turns out that the ST49LF080A flash chip was bad. I used another ST flash chip and it took the flash without issue and verified that I'm now at 2.1 on both machines. I'm just grateful that the 630i has a socketed flash chip. Thanks again for the quick reply and thanks to busykid and Dontshoot for building and testing this update. The original instructions from Busykid worked perfectly. -SLO
maybe it didn't flash because you already have that bios version? Try flashing with Phlash 17 (Dos) with this command (rename the modded bios FLASHABL.ROM, then flash PH161700 /x /FORCE /O /C /S flashabl.rom <ENTER>
About Studio 1537 and Slic 2.1 is there any working bios for this computer?? Dell Studio 1537?? thanks
Hi shakeyplace, one question: what tells me, that in the bios is slic 2.1? i thought, it is in line 15 from rw-everything: here before flashing: 20 20 4D 30 39 20 20 20 20 00 57 49 4E 44 4F 57 M09 .WINDOW 53 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 S .............. after flashing i saw (sorry, didnt make a hardcopy, but im sure to see the "01" in slic-table): 20 20 4D 30 39 20 20 20 20 00 57 49 4E 44 4F 57 M09 .WINDOW 53 20 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 S ..............

Hi i nedd call to friend because i not a expert and not want change my vostro to model named BRICK realy not exist a solution easy in windows double click for flash bios in vostro 1000 because in oficial dell support have ir but is the same only 06 slic 2.0 best regards and my eternity thanks for d420 bios slic 2.1 Best regards:Alberto.
harry, do you have the backup rom from when you flashed? if you want to upload that I can take a look, other than that I can't see any other marker in the bios..
Just like to thank Shakeyplace for the modified PowerEdge 840 A08 bios. Ran the setup.exe in the folder and it reloaded the A08 bios with slic 2.1. I used Dell's Asset Utility and the asset PASS:12/31 as suggested to get the system into manufacturing bios mode which allowed full activation.
Hi, sorry, i only flashed the file you modded. without making a backup before. the only thing i can say, i flashed back to v08 (from dell), than update with your file. but why shows rw-everything another dump as slicdumptoolkit? regards, harry
I can't say for sure, gotta head out for a while, but you should be able to use winplhash to make a backup copy of the bios without flashing (your present bios will do).. What I am thinking is, there is one or more modules in that bios that are blank, perhaps it doesn't overwrite a module that your laptop is shipped with, perhaps if this was the case it would show up in the backup bios and could be replaced then? I will try to make some time to look closer at the modded bios in the next few days but I will be pretty busy...
hi, no matter, take your time. can you tell me, which command i should use to make a backup WITHOUT flashing mit winplhash? regards, harry Edit: forget it, winplash --> flashtool for windows, no command needed....... my fault.... have made a backup, looking for a place to upload, then i write the link
