anyone know how to successfully mod an Asus notebook bios? I have an X550ca. I'm trying to mod the v300 bios to add slic 2.1 for win 7 If i feed andys tool (v2.66) the bios (x550caas.300) and the rw report from the laptop i can successfully make a bios but neither winflash nor the bios flash utility will actually flash it to the laptop. Just says its invalid. The new module method is apparently only for desktop mobos and when i try and make one for the laptop using that method anyway andys tool fails to even make a bios. Any ideas?
@_Iz- For newesr Asus laptop firmwares, you can't directly use this tool. Ask @Serg008 for more help.
Hi all, Been away for a while!! I've just looked at the Dell R510 issue - it was wrongly identifying headers. Fixed in 2.67. Any other persistent/repeatable issues?? Cheers, A
Hi I've added PFS header support in v2.70. It can extract the ROM image from the PFS sections. I don't know how to flash the resultant image though. Cheers A
Hi. Since version 2.67 the application interface has been truncated. I'm running 10x64 with .Net 4.71 installed. No such problem with 2.66. Thanks for continuing to support this great application.
Hmm... That's what happened here and I thought I fixed it in 2.70 with the High DPI support. What resolution monitor?? I think it may be because it was recompiled in VS2017 - but not really sure why - haven't changed UI stuff at all. Will look again Thanks A
Hey. I have the following bug with dimensions. my resolution is 1920 * 1080 w10x64 / I conducted an experiment w7 x32 - 1280x1024 - the same thing / At me insyde2O bios. I have a great wish. Return the function when the decoded BIOS appears next to the opened one.
sadly same, bottom area under log/display, no Go, Advanced etc buttons. My screen res: 1920 x 1080 (100% scale)
Hi andyp, Thanks for the bugfix. Great tool! BIOS open perfectly now, but resize didn't work in my case (using DELL 2.3 on ASUS BIOS). I must say it wasn't easy and took sometime to do the manual resize... I know it's kinda offtopic, but has anyone any info on how to add a MSDM table to this kind of BIOS? (Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3). Thanks.
Hi Changed the code a bit more. Here 2.70 worked 2/4 times - now it works 4/4 times. MSDM - isn't that the 'new module' method?? A
Nope, MSDM is another ACPI table used for OA 3.0 activation scheme. On the other hand, New Module method is used to permanently add SLIC by spoofing OEM signature(s).
