judging from the test I've been doing: hp pheonix bios 360AF3E.WPH per ex can be open by the phoenix tool, and other tools. while Hp rom pack 68MVD.BIN per ex can not be open by the phoenix tool (no BPC) ..
Good Morning, i thought you found the Holy Grail, what a pity. I own a 6715s, so any chance to mod a Rompaq soon?
The HPQ bioses are completely different in structure. In fact we cannot really mod HPQ bioses. We can replace an existing SLIC, that's all. At Phoenix bioses we can decompose the entire bios and mod any code we want to. Phoenix bioses: Phoenix old style Phoenix new style (Phoenix) Award These three are really modifiable. HPQ-Phoenix DELL-Phoenix Replacement of uncompressed code (SLIC) only.
Hi, I have an HP 2510P. Is that an HPQ-Phoenix BIOS or is it a modable one? There is no hint for the manufactorer in the BIOS. Is there anything I can provide to help you guys?
do you know if the backup option makes a cab file with the signature and ver file in it ? if so you could backup the one in your laptop that u used the eprom programmer on ???
I am looking to buy an eeprom programmer. Should I go with the Willem parallel port or the MCUmall USB port programmer. The USB programmer is more than twice the price. My pcs do not have parallel ports so I would have to get a pci parallel port card. Do the parallel port to USB cables work for this. Thanks.
I wrote it so that pretty much anyone could sit down and mod a bios without any complex cmd line changes or anything
Could we agree that VPro has nothing to do with the protection of these BIOS's? VPro relates only & ONLY to Intel Notebooks ie 6715b based on AMD also have double SLIC & can not be flashed & they do NOT have any value for VPro sebus
So, there's must be a host-based software, that can write "protected" region directly... (a compatible uniflash'er or HPQFlash.exe with the correct command line parameters?)
I would think so. Or maybe a little flag in the BIOS file itself that makes the rompaq flash the lot. sebus
