Hi Andy, I am grateful for any your develope of your tool, so if do You want integrate new functions I will grate for a usefull "Extract Origina Bios", as You Sublime Tool can open and modify directly any file .Rom .Bin .Fd, but original compressed .exe (new encapsuled bios) ! I was looking for into Dump folder for bios copy from extracting FV but the file 1st file I found is BIOS0.BIOS, It will contain bios file, but I don't recognize start and end address (it's bigger than original bios). So if give to me some news about it I will grateful, or anyway if You can introduce that function to extract original bios by a button or automatically. Many many thanks for your patience with mine research to get more and better ! God Bless You man, as thank to You, We can enjoy ourself with bioses !
I have spent hours trying to find a valid link to Andy's Tool to no avail. I've seen someone else ask for it too and they were told it was in the MDL Projects & application section. If it is, it must be invisible. Does it go by another name? Please help................
I tried it again, It does not work, here is what Im doing: open isflash.bin, select DELL in Manufactures open advanced, select (allow user mod of modules, always allow user mod of modules, allow user to modify other modules, no slic)... Click Go wait for the confirmation dialog screen shows, let it there, make modification in module FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_920.ROM in DUMP folder (Bytes @A4C to 90 90 90 90 90 90), save it, click OK in the confirmation DIalog, get the error: Submodule to be inserted has invalid commom header. Node that: If I make no modification to modules, the process is successfull.
I have done it for You and have had no problem, may be casualy can get an strange error as a module is used by other programs or similar, but I create new folder on desktop copy only bios and modules modded to repack and go as NO_Slic, the copy these modules in DUMP folder confimr and all right, I got my file. Use this trick and run PMTool as Administrator, PMT is as beautifull woman and reacts badly if You are not gently. regards Have You tried prr2 and techinferno method ?
Oh f**k, I know what happened, HXD made a backup in DUMP folder ALL the times I tried to repack the BIOS! And andy's tools was trying to insert the backup file into the repacked BIOS too! That was the cause of the error, LOL So I cofirm it is indeed working, my mistake... About your question, No, I haven't cause I'm still waiting for Dell to fix my Notebook from the first brick (the one I got when trying to flash capsulated BIOS using recovery mode)
If You have any doubt You can write me in PM and I try to help You ! I am interesting in experiment of Recovery mode and use of prr + prr2 as lately many laptop have Eeprom memory write protection lock active ! And Recovery don't works well ! I am experimenting too. Let me know your discovering. regards
