I've flashed my Vostro 1500 with this BIOS,and it works normally right now,F12 is also works without problem
Sorry for the trouble but I have a DELL Vostro 1700 notebook so I need to ask for a modding of the original bios or can I just download and install someone in first page already modded as example for the Inspiron 1720 or Vostro 1500? thanks a lot for the help
Hi I tried O755slic.exe and it works but I have one thing to say, boot screen logo is missing,as I can see only one CRC needs to be calculated to fullfill bios.hdr at 0xF0054 (lenght 4 bytes ), I have one question why not rip off one byte before CRC32 but it is done somwhere at 0xD0050 ? since this block completly belons to rom. checked the slic with slicdumptoolkit all OK reflashed again with org O755_A14.exe boot logo screen appeared again as it should normally Regards ficho
it's better using HP usb disk storage format tool to create your usb bootable key with a windows98SE bootdisk iso that u extract to use with the HP tool that creates the USB bootable key. then u put your original bios.exe on the usb key with the modded bios.gz u boot on your usb key then on prompt you type : bios.exe -readgzfile the dell flash tool will start and it will check the crc checksum, type yes to flash and it's done. i think it's better than flashing from windows.
Some Dell bioses have bootblock, I have found vague instructions for some. I do have 2 6400/e1505 boards right now of my own that are bricked. I have an idea though and will likely try it out later today... But for the most part How good are you at ordering a new board from ebay and replacing the old one?
Two points: 1. Not all Dell bios.exe tools will accept the -readgzfile parameter 2. The Windows utility does not flash from Windows--same as the official Dell bios.exe utilities. When you run from Windows it reboots the computer and flashes during the POST stage.
i didnt know the first point, thanks for people that get a bad flash, is there a method to recover with dell phoenix bios like put a specific named bios on a dvd and it will auto flash on boot by trying reading on dvd to find a specific named exe ?
OMG thankU guys both of my systems updates are posted, i will test them and post back... thats optiplex 745 and xps 210 Update 1: optiplex 745 succesfully activates Update 2: XPS 210 succesfully activates Thank You My Modders....
This is wat I get when I try to flash Inspiron 9400 using the 1705SLIC.exe (Windows Flasher) found in post #2 Code: - <root> - <command name="flash_load"> <property name="checkpassword" value="" errorcode="0xFFFFFFFB" /> </command> - <command name="biosupdate"> <property name="task" value="Failed." errorcode="0x1" /> </command> </root> As far as I can understand that, it failed to flash my bios. I then tried the Dos flasher and I get an error saying: Code: Invalid command line parameters Please verify the program was executed properly Any ideas?
