Thanks for reply. 2. They match if "Cancel" is selected, but not if "Yes" is selected. Isn't cert verification checking slic bin against .xrm-ms cert? Why different results? 3. Attached is the 340 byte FC_0000_0.bin. Anything of interest there?
2. because when you click cancle it takes slic from 1B module that you just moded, when you click yes it takes slic from FC module 3. NEC slic... hm no idea if nec had 2.0 slic for vista, i have even less clue why it would be inside asus bios... might be fake but not like it matters, bottom line is it wont work with win7 anyway
2. I clicked the verify certificate button before modification. Perhaps NoJuan999 could provide more information. 3. Would be interesting to see what's inside DC0's MSI 2.0 slic.
that slic is empty, i checked its 340bytes of 0s with fake strings. and ohh i guess you are trying modifyed bios already and not offical asus one? then no wonder it matches... i tought you want to learn how to mod it from scratch. edit: nec 2.0 slic is indeed also in original bios from asus page in FC module... very wierd. Make slic dump while you are on original bios and see if system shows it.
No, I was working on the official un-modded one, clicking the Verify Certificate button before hitting Go. If "Cancel" was selected at the pop up message about 2.0 slic, match is reported; but non-matching if "Yes' is selected.
did you select wanted slic/bin already? i dont know how program is working exactly, maybe it verifys against selected slic and/or against slic in bios, depending on certain conditions. I never used that verfy certificate option, so i dont know how that option is working and against what slic it matches...
Oops, there's been a terrible mistake. The verification report says "Existing" slic does not match cert, but new slic to be inserted matches. This is correct. Sorry for the error. Thanks for you patience.
@DC0 Thanks for the 2.0 slic dump. As SoLoR explained, it's essentially blank and thus a fake. The NEC 2.0 slic found in ASUS MB is probably a fake as it does not match against any known NEC 2.0 slic bin. @Roman Thanks for the ASUS 2.1 slic dump.
Thank you Roman! It worked just fine! Windows became activated, though I've had certificate from IBM-Lenovo and key from IBM-Lenovo.
Dear AndyP! I am not sure, if it is a bug or it is "normal". In the last versions of the AMI tool the software was able to detect the manufacturer of my BIOS/board, in my case MSI (P35 Platinum) when i select it for modding. In the latest versions i have to choose the vendor manually. Is it normal, maybe AMI tool is not able to mod the BIOS file correctly because of this? I think, the last version it was working was 1.36 or 1.38, sorry i am not sure... Regards, TR2N
