    Thanks for the info... however my case is Dell Phoenix bios which cannot seems to be opened by Phoenix Bios Editor 2.2.13. It says "Cannot find BCP" and I have no idea what that is :~)


    Thanks,
    zK

    Newer HP bioses can't be decrypted using andyp's tool.

    Try with an older revision of the bios.

    You may take a hunch & try older revisions. Newer HP bioses having new encryption scheme can't be decrypted by andyp's tool but we can't tell you the exact date after which its started. :(

    Noop, the procedure & the tool is machine-independent.

    The first and original bios version F.12 Insyde BIOS is the only one that works from about 7 updates up to version F.37 that I found for download.

    Rename/placing the RSA.sig and .bin files generated by phoenixtool to the HP_TOOLS....->Current folder doesn't work with the Windows+B key to Flash the BIOS.

    Off topic
    I read masses on coreboot, UEFI and got fairly disapointed with the amount of complexity...
    All I wanted was a coreboot system and having an easy backup to reflash the Insyde bios in case something goes wrong....what I got was that in the near future thanks to UEFI it will be a no coreboot world at large and even the idea of linux and windows simply plug & use the machine is going to be fiddling with who knows what crazy loopholes keys and "smart arse" traps....
    Venting out but really shocking that this is happening in 2013 and no real open systems exist

    Post the original link of the bios.

    AFAIK, you need to use different SLP support module.

    Dear Mr Andy,
    I need latest AMI BIOS ADD SLIC TOOL. I have AMI_SLIC3, which when I open suggests new tool availability. Further it is not accepting Intel BIO FILE saying BIO file must be 128 KB.
    Regards

    hi andy
    thank you for your modification work.
    extract error does not exist.
    but i got an another error.
    I extract and modify MOD file. and then replace MOD file.
    I got a modified rom file. and then i updated bios with modified rom file.

    if you possible, can you update phoenixtool?
    Anyway i respect your work and ability
