Remove whitelist check / add ID's to break hardware restrictions mod requests.

"SuperPro 3000U" is an eeprom programmer (google search) contact phu_dj by PM for details

 

i've momentarily stopped development on these problematic bios.

 

No guesses as to what the problem is in the BIOS? I have given up as well. I am flashing back to whitelisted BIOS and inserting original cards. If I still get beeping, them maybe the laptop has an issued. If not, then it was a valiant effort. I'll be able to use the new card someday...
hopefully sooner rather then later. Thanks TTAV!


EDIT: It appears that by removing CMOS battery I was able to fix the startup/sleep issues. Still beeps but if the CMOS corruption was just from initial flashing, I can deal with the beeping. Other errors I was seeing were a combination of driver-OS interactions and cheap tape.

 

hi TTAV

Try resetting the bios configurations to default. (press F9 on boot)

I noticed you have posted in a few places instructions on how to remove the whitelist from HP bioses. I've followed your instructions with the original bios for an HP DM4, but I don't know which ROMs to edit, nor which characters to change. In two sets of your instructions (for different laptops), you were able to identify 2 files each time and 2 sets of characters (different ones too) to change each time. How did you figure out what to do? I think since I'm able to open the original DM4 bios with andy's tool and get to the rom files, it should be possible to mod. Any advice you have is much appreciated. Thanks!

 

By the way, if there's someplace I can upload the original bios for someone to look at, please let me know where to place it.

 

When I used ANDY's Tool to dump the bios, I did a grep on the files for the word "unsupported" and got 6 hits. Unfortunately, those files don't seem to have any messages about unsupported WLAN devices or 104 errors.

 

I found the files I need to edit: 7FA4AE0A-1404-4DCC-BE28-CE58029CF5D1_2_677.ROM & E62F9F2F-4895-4AB5-8F1A-399D0D9C6B90_2_672.ROM
by doing a grep for 'w.i.r.e.l.e.s.s'

Now I need to figure out how to find which symbols to edit and how.

 

I think I found the right hex character to change to EB. I then hit OK from Andy's tool, rename the file to 01433.fd, and copy the file to a folder that has the current bios and insydeflash from HP (this forces me to overwrite the bios with the same filename). Anyways, running insyde flash gives me an error of "CAN NOT FOUND SIGN FILE". Any ideas?

 

There is too many differents HP bios's because HP machines are built by a lot of chineses companies.
A generic method does not exist, now if you want help you must give me mandatory informations as explain here: http://forums.mydigitallife.net/thr...s-to-break-hardware-restrictions-mod-requests. in "Please post requests regarding whitelists here using this form:" section.

I'm looking to remove the whitelist check to install an intel 6200.

This bios file is about 2.3 MB and won't open with other tools. HOWEVER, HP seems to save the same bios as a .BIN file (versus .FD) in a recovery folder, but the file is only 2.1 megs there. That file can be opened and editted with Andy's Tool.

 

when i have all informations everything is clear, now "CAN NOT FOUND SIGN FILE" error message means you've tried to mod a dumped bios, you cannot flash the bios without a modified dll, a user who used this dll, bricked his laptop twice, I've stop development using this method.
sorry.

 

BIOS Request

I currently use a Dell Precision M4400, but am unhappy with it for several reasons, even if it does let me use whatever WIFI or WWAN card I please.


I am interested in upgrading to a:
*ThinkPad W510

or

*EliteBook 8540w


I know there is a whitelist-disabled version of the 8530w BIOS. I also tried to make the modification myself, but I have thus far failed, even using EZH2O. Do you have any advice for either of these models?

The link to Andy's tool is dead, so I can't try that.


Many thanks,

So I modified a dumped bios (the .bin files HP puts in a bios recovery folder) that requires a different or modified .dll to work with insydeflash.exe, is that correct? The user who bricked his laptop, did he use the same .bin that I used for the same laptop, or was it just a similar approach with a different laptop? I wonder if it would be easier to flash the firmware on these intel 6200 cards so that they looked like a broadcom card to the HP bios.

 

Dont use the EzH2O "direct memory edit" to mod HP probooks, elites... you will brick the laptop, that was my first approach, now i am using Andy's tool.

Thanks so much TTAV134!
all worked perfectly, and now my new wifi card and win7 x64 are perfectly running!

I have also a Thinkpad T42. Can you also attempt to make a slic 2.1 version whitelisted?
