Hello! Modded bios for nw9440 from 1st page has been deleted (sendspace states "The file has been deleted by the uploader"). Any chance to repost file? It's for "HP Compaq nw9440 Mobile Workstation (version F.1D 11-jul-2008) whitelist removed". Thanks, b.
How can I mod HP 8710p F.0E bios myself to SLIC2.1 ? (want to use it because F.0F is buggy (fan works all the time for unknown reason) - see http : / / forums11. itrc .hp .com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1402505) The only solution seems to be using F.0E but it comes with SLIC 2.0 so I can't install Win7 on it. Here is the link to the hp8710p F.0E bios ftp:/ / ftp. hp. com /pub/softpaq/sp40501-41000/sp40578.exe Is there any sort of instructions on modifying bios to SLIC2.1 from SLIC2.0 (so far only found how to remove whitelist..). The method in memory didn't help me also (SLIC2.0 written 2 times in the .bin) Thanks in advance
no it doesn't solve the fan issue. could you please post the modded F.0E and if you can explain how can I do this myself Thanks in advance.
to much complicated to explain, do you want to flash from windows or from DOS with an USB stick? the bios file is ready to be upload, waiting your decision. regards
from windows please. well, I found the 8710pw_modded bios with SLIC21 no whitelist and dualIDA by nando4 and what he says in .txt: I can understand part about (000E6222-000E62B5 : SLIC 2.1 table #1, 000F6222-000F62B5 : SLIC 2.1 table #2), but how can I figure out other addresses for SLP state check, SLIC 2.1 table read for F.0E ? I'm just being curious, already used a lot of tools before like (for patching phoenix/award/ami) they all went fine, if it's not that hard for you to show me how to determine these addresses it would be great. About whitelist from what I've read it's easy to modify with the ADDCCV3. Thanks.
ok, it works now, many thanks man! already patched with this version - works as it should be. yes, but how did you figure out where these flags are located in the original F.0E .bin file?
Q: but how did you figure out where these flags are located in the original F.0E .bin file? R: by disassembling the modules, EG: 02_POST_00020100_68MAD.dec Code: seg000:BE5A mov ax, 1 seg000:BE5D call test_SLP_flag ; replace E84406 by 9090F8 (SLP on simulation) seg000:BE60 jb short loc_BEB5 ; jump if SLP flag is OFF seg000:BE62 push esi seg000:BE64 push edi seg000:BE66 push ds seg000:BE67 push es seg000:BE68 push es seg000:BE69 mov ax, 1 seg000:BE6C push 0F389h seg000:BE6F call far ptr 0F000h:3154h seg000:BE74 pop es seg000:BE75 cld seg000:BE76 mov ecx, 9Ch ; '£' seg000:BE7C mov esi, 0FFFF6300h ; SLIC pubkey address in protected zone seg000:BE82 mov edi, 0B914h seg000:BE88 rep movs byte ptr es:[edi], byte ptr [esi] seg000:BE8B cld seg000:BE8C mov ecx, 0B6h ; 'Â' ; seg000:BE92 mov esi, 0FFFF6200h ; SLIC marker address in protected zone seg000:BE98 mov edi, 0B9B0h seg000:BE9E rep movs byte ptr es:[edi], byte ptr [esi]
i guess you completely reverse-engineered hp compaq bios.. my asm knowledge is not so good.. so I wouldn't try this, but thx for the code any chance for F.0E modded bios with dualIDA as well? wanting to play with this nice app ThrottleStop. thanks again for all your time and great work!
How would I go about flashing a ROM bios from DOS on a Compaq Presario. Do i need a specia HP tool? I already created a bootable USB drive. Thanks
