Hi folks, I've reached this thread searching for a tool capable opening some Phoenix bioses not parsed by cbrom195 or cbrom198. Beside SLIC I wish to update cpu microcode also. I was just wondering if there is a way to make this possible using phonenixtool266. I'm using ASUS DSBF-DE with Xeon L5430, the latest bios doesn't include latest Intel cpu microcode. thank you, Fabix
I have trouble making this for SLIC 2.4 downloads.dell.com/FOLDER02411239M/1/PET110II_020800.exe Can anyone help? Thanks!.
Hi Folks, I've modded several BIOSs in the past (thanks to the incredible tools and MDL Community) but I can't figure out this one. Dell Inspiron 5559 Laptop preloaded w/ Win10Home. Looking to Slic 2.1 it for Windows 7 installation. Grabbed PhoenixTool 2.66 and RWEverything 1.6.9. Saved the ACPI tables from RWE, then opened PhoenixTool, Selected Original BIOS (Inspiron5459_127.exe from here: p://www dell com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=7J2DH) selected SLIC file from SLIC21, SLP from SLP, and the AcpiTbls.rw file. Method changes between Module and then ends on Code. Error is: ** DELL CBX3 string found in PADDING_70.ROM at 5F194 replaced (next line) Unable to add SLIC code. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try next? It looks successful with the Module Method, but I've read about bricks with that.. also I don't usually mess with the options in the tool.. trying not to brick the new laptop, lol. If there is a PhoenixTool support thread somewhere else I should hit up, please let me know that also. Thanks much -pd
Oh, didn't realize that SLP was XP. I just tried it but omitted the SLP step and it errored out in the same way. I would be happy to demo this for anyone or even record it if that's helpful. I know I could probably post it in the requests section too, but I didn't want to just take the easy way out. Any other ideas? Thanks for the help. -pd EDIT: Apparently having trouble Englishing this morning.. :\
Well that didn't work. I now have a laptop with an asset tag of PASS:12/34. Also doesn't seem like I can change it. Is that because it's not a PowerEdge server? Not sure why they would include a Windows 7 2.1 SLIC in a recent laptop that only is delivered with Windows 10.. but that could be I suppose. Any other ideas? Also, any other ideas on how to unset the Asset Tag setting? Thanks, -pd EDIT: Well, looking back at the link yet again, it looks like I was to enter ASSET PASS:12/34 in the asset tag field. #fail. So, I guess now I need a way to reset that field, and/or change it with a utility? Looks like the Dell utilities online are not working with newer laptops? This is an Inspiron 5559
Someone on the Dell forum (2012-12-19) got out of the "manufacturing mode" by loading the defaults and exiting the BIOS (Inspiron 660s, possibly not UEFI though). Maybe you could try that. See "verified answer" at : h__p://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19302030
Download Link not clear It would be great if you would mark clearly the download location, it was not easy to find. v2.59 Datafilehost is not clear as a download link and had I not accidentally moused over it, I did not think this was the file. Perhaps DOWNLOAD THIS v2.59 from Datafilehost might be a better way to find the download. And having it near the bottom was not very helpful either. I am very new to modding BIOS Files but I am not new to Threads or Forums. I do not mean to be disrespectful I am just saying here, help out the noobs by making downloads CLEAR. Thanks for all your hard work, and I really do mean THANKS...
Hi folks Facing some issues with the Gigabyte H110M-S2 Motherboard Bios. When opened in Phoneixtools 2.66 it says it is a EFI/Insyde BIOS. I used RW-Everything 1.6.9 to generate the RW file, but the Phoenix tool says invalid RW file. I tried generating the RW file using 1.4.9.7 but on clicking ACPI tables it gives me an error of access violation. 1. Is Phoenix tools 2.66 not compatible with the file generated from RW-everything 1.6.9 ? How to resolve the error of Invalid RW file. 2. What do i do to avoid the error of access violation in RW-everything 1.4.9.7 PLease advice
Thanks. but when i uset he Dynamic method i get the warning "No complete SLIC table found" Is this fine ?
Problem with newer Dell Precision models/bios.. Greetings! I’m trying to create SLIC 2.2 bios for Dell Precision T7610 and having a problem. [Problem behavior that I’m experiencing] The phoenixtool produces HDR file (I tried both Dynamic and Module methods, and version 2.56, 2.57, and 2.66) and says the process was successful. But, when I tried to use the file, it (dellBiosUpdate) says it’s not a valid RBU HDR file – the file doesn’t have ‘$RBU’ header. - Upon reviewing the file via hexeditor, I’ve confirmed it indeed doesn’t start with “$RBU”. Instead, the produced file starts with “PFS.HDR…”. [What I’ve tried and noticed] I’ve tried the same procedure for different Dell Precision models, and it works fine/correctly for older models of Dell Precision. For T3400, which the size of original bios file is small (863KB), the tool produces the result file in “.exe” extension. And, the produced file works. For T3500, which the size of original bios file is slightly bigger (1,194KB), the tool produces the result file in “.HDR” extension, the produced file has ‘$RBU’ header and works. However, for newer models (T3600, T3610, T5810, and T7610), which the size of original bios file is large (5,769 ~ 9,642KB), the tool produces file with no extension (such as ‘T7610A12_SLIC’), and the resulted file doesn’t have ‘$RBU’ header. The situation is same for 'bios.hdr’ in produced ‘bios.gz’ file. [What I am hoping] In case it’s not a bug but mere user issue, could you kindly let me know how to use the produced file correctly? ‘dellBiosUpdate’ is only procedure/command that I know that supports ‘hdr’, but it doesn’t like the produced file. Thank you in advance. acer4
