Hi Got HDR from the windows version (-s -e options) This mods fine here. SSV2 default. I think you can flash the HDR with DCCU Andy
Man, andyp and Apokrif, you guys kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to use the mod tool on the 8100 .hdr file, as I get a Gzip header error when I try and use the tool on the Dell bios.exe that is supposed to run from a floppy. Figuring out how to flash the .hdr to the machine was the hard part. Finally discovered biosflsh.exe from the Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit ver 1.0 was the key. I wrote a .bat file for the biosflsh tool, used reboot.exe to reboot the machine, it flashed the .hdr file and wallah I now have Slic2.1 on the 8100. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can upload the modded A09 BIOS if anyone wants it.
Please post a link to biosflsh.exe from the "Dell Openmanage Deployment Toolkit" (on Dell site), you bat file/template and really brief instructions. Unless you really enjoy answer same question hundred times
Boy, aint that the truth...Haha I have followed this and other dell bios mods closely, @ Apokrif and AndyP....Very nice work gentlemen, if you don't mind the compliment. I am continually amazed each time I get the chance to log on....STRONG WORK!!!!!
911medic, Thank you – I shoulda have done it long time ago. Fortunately, I still have another job, I get paid for. It kinda keeps distracting me from what I want to do
I did flushed over same version w/o problem. If you need to downgrade – there is a checkbox on DCCU screen. Good to know still – there is more than one way to do the job
Updated PE750. DCCU package keeps complaining about BIOS password, although it wasn’t any. Used BIOSFLSH.EXE with IO.SYS [May, 11, 1998 / 222390 bytes] dell_user, thanks a lot for hint!

Hi Andy, In what situation would the new official AMI slic tool method best be used? Does the tool automatically select it if its the best option? Do we use it for modding normal new style phoenix bios' ADD: Now implements method used by official AMI SLIC tool Thanks for any info
The tool will never select. It is still 'experimental' - although all it does is add 2 modules, one containing the SLIC and one the marker. It appears there has to be a 'SLIC driver' already in the BIOS. I have only seen one example BIOS. We are trying to find others the official tool will work on to test a few assumptioms (ie. the pubkey/marker always have the same GUID, are they always inserted at the end of the largest FV, how do you identify the SLIC driver etc.) It is only for EFI BIOSes. Andy
Hello Andy When i try to load bin file or ihm file it does not recognise it as a pheonix bios file. Any other tool that i can try.
