I need a 2.4 DellMark.bin pubkey and Jsign. The one I tried to create keeps failing. Nevermind everyone I solved it. My hex editing was the issue. Cheers, thanks for all the great posts. I could not have done it without you guys.
I'm trying to insert the Dell certificate to an Intel NUC DCCP847PYE bios. This is an older NUC from 2013. Reading this thread it sounds like you have to modify the bios on the board as the bios update files are signed. Is the OA2INTEL tool the right one to use for this? Update: Got it working using the oa2intel007.rar package. Make sure to change the date in bios to 2006 before using.
Just tried the command for NUC7 on Windows and it have the error message below, however it had no problem when it's running in DOS. (Both are using the x007 version of the OA2 tool) Code: GetVariable() failed to return EFI Variable Size -- FAILURE 0h - SUCCESS This tool is not authorized to update this BIOS.
Yes, use the Dell 2.5 one from the "All SLICs List" thread on this site. Just use the steps above to extract the marker.
After over 1 year since I used this utility on my NUCs (to add SLIC 2.4) I thought I would update to 2.5 and found the utilities did not work (same error as posted before) on some NUCs. No amount of changing date back, BIOS settings, and so on helped. What I found is that on Server 2016 NUC the utility (X007) worked fine to get status/erase/insert new SLIC. But on Windows 1809/1903 on other NUCs the utility did not work (the SLIC was naturally not used there just added it in the past to see whether it worked). Booting off Server 2016 (1607) install on these NUCs did work - so something must have changed in "recent" Windows builds with regard to EFI variable manipulation which is why the utility would fail. After erase/insert the new 2.5 SLIC would be seen fine in Windows 1809/1903. Tested NUC7 (i3), NUC6 (i5) and NUC5 (i7) latest BIOSes from this month. So for anyone that gets errors on NUC regarding EFI - make sure you're using an older Windows build, did not try 8.1 / 7 but I would think it would work.
when i apply to patch (i modifyed the files for 2.5) i get this error : This Tool is not authorized to update this Bios can someone help ?
See just above what I said - your Windows is too "new". Try server 2016 or similarly older Windows not any '18 or '19 or later. Server 2019 does not work with utility nor does Windows 1903 or 1809. I have not tried others there's no point. Just install Server 2016 temporarily, change SLIC. Remove then install Server 2019.
Intel seems to have a new utility "iFlashV. I purchased a new 10 series NUC and was trying to see what my activation options were. This is what the utility "iFlashVEfi64.efi" can do from inside an EFI shell: - /Q Silent execution - /K1 Program the non-critical block for Splash Screen Logo update - /A: OEM Activation file - /OAD Delete OEM Activation Key - /JBC Don't Check AC adapter and battery - /cmd:"{OAID:OEMID:OEMTBLID}" Input of the OEM ID and OEMTABLE ID that will be associated with the key. The OEM ID must be 6 characters and the OEM Table ID must be 8 characters. If ID string is less than 6 or 8, please fill with spaces. It is used for updating the BIOS from a EFI shell but it seems to contain OEM activation tools also: OEM Activation file This command usage is for /A command which inserts a specific OEM activation key into the empty key inside current system BIOS. The command line is as follows: iFlashV /A: <OEM Activation Key Bin File Name> [/cmd:"{OAID:OEMID:OEMTBLID}"] Where OEM Activation Key Bin File Name is used to specify path/filename of the OEM activation key file with extension. Please make sure that the OEM Activation Key region is empty before inserting the key, or please perform /OAD command before insertion. Does anyone know how this tool works?
