I can help later since I am not at home atm. Ayad, please provide the link of the HP update you want to SPI flash. I don't search by myself since HP makes me sick.
Yes and you will just need to wait until Yen, has time to get back to you. And also do not open up any more threads are regards to this Hp Pavilion G6-1060se bios file I have deleted your other three threads due to the fact you are now getting assistance from Yen.
I can appreciate your current problem but putting out that kind of energy will not get you anything but frustration and create stressed relations with people. While you are waiting try to help others to pass the time..Also learn how to use the Thanks button for those who have taken the time to offer assistance even though it may not have gotten the result you seek. I wish you the best
Yen you are wonderful man , the laptop is turned on , I have used 0338A.bin to programming the SPI flash ,please could you tell me the tool that used for decryption and thank you very much
Decompress the executable with Winrar. In the package there are 3 biosfile in encrypted form (0166CF32.bin, 0338AF32.bin and 01666F32.bin). Open the biosfile with Phoenix Tool v1.97 (in your case the 0338AF32.bin file), the tool will create in the work folder a decripted biosfile (0338AF32.BIN.DEC) Open it with an hex editor and delete all data until 20000 offset. Save the file (4096 Kb - 4194304 Byte)
awesome info. i read something similar but not as complete last year. my main questions. 1: does hp bios size .DEC 4228 work for usb recovery or does it need rsa.sig or cut to recover with no rsa.sig ? 2: i noticed rsa.sig in the folder decompressed sp#### (orpprocessed by PhoenixD/E mod) one idea about the resize method: cant the first Bigest Padding section be extracted then resized and reinserted ? and force size overide for SPI flashing. Ayad, Yen posted man page for PhoenixDell/EFI mod
1/2: The rsa.sig of what you are speaking is created by andy's tool. It is in no way needed concerning recovery. But generally there are HP BIOS updates which contain a *.sig file, such as 68CDD.sig and 68CDD.bin. I cannot make general statements about HP BIOSes / EFI. I only can answer what I know about a particular type of HP BIOS / EFI. I always need a link to it and then we can talk about. Talking about Ayad's EFI: Normaly HP notebooks have a HP_TOOLS partition on HDD. If you brick the notebook, you need to press specific key / key combination to kick in recovery. If the partition has been deleted the same can be achieved when having it on USB. I mean exactly (paths, names, contents) I don't know if the encrypted or the decrypted EFI is used for recovery. But you neither need to cut nor a sig file There are EFI tools of HP which create the HP_TOOLS partition. Andy's tool also gives info about recovery name and path. I'd try to use a FAT32 formatted USB pen, labeled HP_TOOLS and then to rename the decrypted efi to what andy's tool popped up. You may put it to root if andy's tool doesn't name a path. But the best is to backup the HP_TOOLS partition before something can brick at all, or at least have a look onto it. Finally you have to try until it works....nobody I know uses HP notebooks anymore. About your last idea: I don't get it, lol. If you extract the padding section, resize and reinsert it, nothing changes actually at the image. Just mark the EFI image and leave back the excess, copy and save it as new file, it's much easier and faster...
i myself dont like HP notebooks either. . after the nvidia manufacturing issue i saw hp try to limit what models were affected.. then they had to cover more models. tells me how greedy and propietary (whitelists) they are! seems dell is not far behind with propietarism: newer models have whitelists.. likely due to the intel features of the wifi and os/ remote screen to tv through wifi. one thing i do like about dells is how their biosupdates are less likely to brick than hp/winflash fails. (not all dells use the reboot flash.. some do use winflash.. very few) thanks for all the input (im trying to get into bios recovery with programers for local shops that used to recommend new mobo, as it saves time and $)
