    Did you tick allow user to modify other modules then replace when prompted??

    If you did, then please post link and the modded module you are trying to insert

    Thanks

    Andy thanks a lot mate i followwed your procedure and i have succesfully intergrated my logo00.bin and logo01.bin. But now another question just in case you can help me!! It's a phoenix bios which is not supported from phoenix bios editor (unknown module Y and etc etc....) so i just open the original bios with phoenix bios editor -> change bootscreen -> build it -> open with your tool the modified one -> backup logo00.bin and logo01.bin from dump file-> open with your tool the unmodified one -> intergate modified logo00.bin and logo01.bin... This is the only procedure with can be done because if you flash the modified build bios from phoenix bios editor then you get stuck at boot screen!!! But here comes my question i flash the result from the whole procedure but i get the same boot screen but from phoenix bios editor i can see that i have altered it!!! My mind goes to ph161700, maybe someparamater which erase and flash all the bios and not some particular blocks???

    Re: Asrock e350m1

    Might be. Bios seems to be EFI/Insyde, as far as I know. Pls post RW-E-Report.
    I'm planning to buy one for test purpose, but around my place there is none available yet.

    Greetings

    hey andy! thank you so much for this great piece of software. you see i'm not interested in SLIC mod, i just want to be able to mod my nvidia vbios as it is packed with all other bios modules under one big file and your tool is the only one i found to be able to do that. My Laptop is Toshiba A660-3d laptop with nvidia GTS 350m GPU.i just want to check with you that my modus operendi is fine and that it should work :

    1. i load my original rom into your tool, it dumps all modules under a DUMP folder.
    2. i found the nividia gpu vbios module under the DUMP folder which i edit under nibitor to get the modded vbios in a seperate file under a separate folder.
    3. in your tool, under manufacturer i choose other
    4. under avanced settings, i tick no SLIC + allow user to change other modules
    5. i click GO and wait for the popup saying i can change my modules under DUMP
    6. i override the original vbios moduler under DUMP with the new moded one keeping the same name.
    7. i click ok.
    8. i flash the new BIOS with _SLIC extension.

    i just want to check with you..in this scenario do the Original/SSV2/dynamic options have any impact ? the produced BIOS should have everything sorted out (ie integrity, checksums,etc...) right so i can flash it right away? If i do all the steps except overriding the original vbios file under DUMP, i should get exactly the same BIOS right? the no SLIC option does not override my original SLIC?

    thank you very much!

    EDIT : i just want to add, in case this may be significant, that your tool identified my BIOS as being EFI /Insyde

    Is it possible to view and/or update the CPU microcode in my DELL PHOENIX BIOS with this Phoenix SLIC Tool?

    That's what I ended up doing, I just wasn't sure if it was a bug or not. Thanks for the response.
