Hello, has anyone know, which BIOS type has HP 2140 (AMI/AWARD/other)? Is possible to bypass whitelist for wireless card GIGABYTE GN-WI06N-RH 802.11N a/b/g/n draft 2.0 miniPCI wireless - Atheros AR5008 chipset AirCruiser N300 Dual Band Mini Card The latest bios F.04 has SLIC 2.1 table, but i'm interested in whitelist. Thanks for any help.
andymail, HP Windows 7 Upgrade DVD will come, but there will be no magic, old laptops that are umoddable will not get new BIOS, maybe some tools can be hacked, but I honestly thaink that by then it will be all not worth it... sebus
Weird my 2x30p, 8x30w and 6x30 upgrade dvd does not contain a bios file. I tried putting it in my 8710p but it acted like a normal win7 dvd, the other dvd was just a driver instalation app.
Hi guys, I’m following this thread for few months now and at some point it really looked very promising. I was working trying to find out how to access the EPROM directly with a piece of SW I wrote for this purpose. Unfortunately, nothing good to share with you. Actually my point was to access the status register and try to unlock it. Recently I found out that I was trying to write a code for a wrong chip. It was mentioned here before that some BIOSes use W25xXX chip and I have not checked what was the chip for my board. As I found out, I was wrong – The real chip is AT26DF321 – maybe I will try again sometime to use my code for the correct chip Here is what I’ve managed to do with my COMPAQ 8710p: Tired of going no way, I took it apart and desoldered the EPROM (yes it is EPROM in this model – not Flash). Put it into a Willem programmer to back up the data. Nothing new except that I just confirmed that the distributed 68MAD.bin file is actually the last part of the addresses (0x300000 – 0x3FFFFF). The real match is from the address 0x310000 to the last one and only this range has been flashed into the BIOS by the HPQFlash. At 0x300000 only a header exists, written permanently. According to the datasheet of the chip, the "write protection" is implemented combining status register and WP (pin 3). I believe that only status register has been used in 8710 case because even in the programmer I couldn’t write it because of the status register (0x1C). I’ve measured the WP pin and it was not connected to Vcc ( - may be they did pul-down this pin using the chipset?). Anyway it was enough the status register and since I couldn’t manage to overwrite it using the Willem, the writing procedure ends up with an error message that the verification shows difference exactly at the beginning of the second SLIC marker. I always thought that Willem programmer is only piece of toy (at least I have no patience of finding all its bugs), so I needed to program my chip and searching for an alternative solution, I end up trying the programmer mentioned here in some of the first posts (****://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Frayer.ic.cz%2Felektro%2Fspipgm.htm&sl=cs&tl=en&history_state0=cs%7Cen%7C). Thanks, very simple and good working equipment. Sent direct message for unlocking the “write protection” (status 0x10), then very reliable programming and verification. I've soldered the EPROM back to the mobo, put back the PC together and start it. It was very surprising message from Everest (SLIC 2.0). Thinking more deeply in the case, I’ve realized that the program reads the temporary memory. “Factory settings” from the BIOS made my day and Everest showed me the long expected SLIC 2.1 message . After this – straight forward installation and activation of Win 7 OEM Did play already 3 days with this PC and one more 8710p from a friend of mine, trying to find some way of “copying” the already modified BIOS from my PC to the other one – just nothing. Have tried everything, from backup-restore to emergency BIOS recovery using the image from the modified PC – nothing promising. I think that the other PC will also end under my soldering equipment….. Will send an update if something happens … If someone needs the bin file, I can PM (note that I’ve replaced the tracking information from my PC with KEKEKEKE… and SSSSSSSSSS….). The file also has one byte difference in some “00000000” area because I did corrected the CRC, hoping that this helps …
Is it feasible? If not, then why are there two identical regions (I mean E0000h-EFFFFh and F0000h-FFFFFh) in BIOS image?
Compaq 6910p Hi guys, I'm following this thread after long read 84pages, I didnt found any solution for Compaq 6910p. Currently I'm using Xp Pro, with Latest bios F17 from HP but this bios was sucks now my PC always overheating. I need to downgrade the BIOS to older version like F0C (sp37689.exe) but it was protected by HPQFlash.exe. All modified HPQFlash.exe have been tried but end with no luck... Need advise from all of u guys... *desparately ill here Thanks, Raff
Andy has clearly stated not to provide any mod with the RC versions. Anyway it's an Insyde bios. There is still a problem with the lzma compression. I have proven that at least one HP Insyde bios bricks when using the lzma compress tool. To provide a save mod you should use EzH20. Don't let people try a mod when you don't know if the tool is enough tested..
