Ok Ive been playing around with the program and made one I think will work. I downloaded a kit off of h33t with the tools and someone deleted the parts of the kit for vista and other stuff I think to make it easier?. I just got the one from this site and am working with it. The thing is what is the difference between the directory slic21 and slics 2.1, are they the same? SLIC21 and SLICS 2.1 for example, the SLIC 2.1 dir has faily simple choices being 4 Manufactures and thats it, the SLICS 2.1 dir has an incredible list of files and a subdirectory named 2.1 wich again has several manufacturers listed as subdirectories and some files in each, this doesnt really make it clear what choices have to be made. when you try to ac@VATE you need one of those .xrm-ms files and a key, for win7 do I use a included vista certificate and a key, or do I need win7 certificates? I got that hpqoem.xrm-ms extracted from wow7
Just want to make sure this too, If I use a slic2.1 file and slp. I need to use a matching certificate. Like dell,dell,dell. I cant use a hp certificate with dell slic2.1 right? But I can use a hp key with a dell slic2.1 modded bios
There is no difference....if you want to combine the two v2.1 files, then do so....there may be some duplication.... and you activate using a vista certificate or license.....no, do not use hqgoem.xrm-ms....that only pertains to WOW and may not work here.
The SLIC and Certificate have to match....the SLP can be different but I would not advise it....I can add 2 - 3 SLPs or more but what is the point?
Because you used switch commands of DOS on aopen, jetway, etc, does not mean you can use those same switch commands on this machine. Unless the Flash Utility calls for it, then leave well enough alone. Here is the rule of thumb for flashing a bios - ALWAYS and I repeat, ALWAYS use the RECOMMENDED Flash Utility of your motherboard manufacturers recommendation and do not add any commands, change any files unless it says to do so. Now, there are exceptions and I know when to break that rule but for the novice, this is the rule he or she should follow.
If I dont use vista certificates, where do I find them for win7? which ones are they? IN my folders everything has a .bin extension, I dont have any that have .xm-ms. The one from wow7 is the only one I know of and It verified with the Hp slic2.1 Just for reference I have a Foxconn Bloodrage x58 MOBO and when I modded it it used 0+2 method for creation. Used the plain hp.bin, I believe it was successful, it said it was and I verified and said it was ok. In the lines of checking code it said fail in a couple spots is that normail, but it said it was ok. The other thing I wanted to know was which file should I use for Hp, There is about 3 different slic2.1 files, same goes for dell. The dell ones listed there are about 3 of them, from what I read is the one with DELL_QA09.bin the only one that will work. Or do others work too. Why would all those other ones be there if they dont work In the past when I flashed my bios I never used any switches, and it always worked. Is there anything wrong with that practice?
Thanks I really appreciate the help Iwas just making sure iused the right certificates, cause the folder said certs(vista), just wanted to make sure these worked on 7. If you could just help me with why there is so many different files for slic2.1 there are like 6 hp and 5 dell ones. From what i read that one dell a_09 works, but which Hp one works why is there a bunch of other ones if they dont work
The number of SLICS v2.1 are numerous but it is really quite simple. I like to use DELL_QA09.BIN 2.1 SLIC along with DELL (Not DELL SYSTEM) SLP and of course DELL Certificate. For HP, it is quite simple: Use HP SLIC v2.1 along with HP SLP and of course, HP Certificate. There is no ASUS SLIC v2.1 at this time...though I saw a SLIC that apparently has it inserted but that is yet to be seen. It won't hurt you to download and experiment with numerous bios and play with them using different SLICS, SLPS and Certificates - Trust the Tools - they will tell you if what you inserted will work or not.
Congratulations to you....I like it when people have success...cool: - Now go and help others who are on this board with their bios modification needs....invite them here to modify their own bios.
There will be any difference betwen the Asus slic and the Dell? A mean, any advantage? Of course i will be smart to use it on a Asus board. But any real advantage? Thanks Bussy! Bye, MerolaC
Here is something taught to me by zort: This concerns all Award Bios - 1. If a SLIC is present in an Award Bios, Do not use these 3 methods: 0+2 - SSV3 - OEM. 2. Instead, use one of these methods - Dynamic - Pubkey - ISA (ISA and Pubkey are the safest since they do not modify existing modules. 3. If there is an off the shelf motherboard such as ASUS with a SLIC already inserted, then you can be assured that the SLIC is DISABLED and gives you cause to use any method on it. 4. If it is an OEM Motherboard (TOSHIBA, HP, SONY, etc) and has an existing SLIC, you can be assured it is ENABLED. Therefore, you should limit modification options or you will insert a second slic in the bios and may cause the computer to brick.
If you want to activate Windows 7, there is no need to use an ASUS SLIC for the only ones we have as of this date are v2.0 and will not allow you to activate Windows 7 as OEM> By the way, thanks for helping on this board...it is appreciated.
Sorry, didn't say. When a 2.1 version of Asus slic come out. It will have any advantage over the others? Bye, MerolaC
Other than those who own an ASUS like to keep it in the family - No, there will be no difference other than aesthetic appeal...
Lol, xD That's why i firstly wanted it. Second was i thought it has an advantage over the other slics Thanks busy Bye, MerolaC
Thanks very very much. finally, i figure it out. With Ur hints, i flashed the mod 1401 in windows with its update utility. Shortly In dos: flash all original rom..... done flash mod 0705.rom done flash mod 1201, mod 1401 failed In windows all is done.
