[Request] unlock bios HP ENVY 4-1280EF


Writing SMBIOS DMI strings in WinPE

$

0
Does anyone know of a way to write DMI strings (model number, serial, OEM string) to the SMBIOS on UEFI machines within WinPE?

I have tools to boot into DOS and do this for specific vendors, but I'm wandering if there is a generic UEFI command I can use in Windows PE (Win8).

The target notebooks have various brands of UEFI Firmware (BIOS) such as Insyde, AMI, Phoenix, but they all support and run in pure UEFI (no BIOS emulation).

hmm perhaps this function?

[REQUEST] Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 Whitelist removal (2.51)

Hi

Would like to use Intel Centrino Adv-N 6205 card
Bios version: 2.51 (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/...j11ww.exe)
OS: Win8Pro 64bit
Rw-Everything Report: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8345...cpiTbls.rw

If any more detail is required please let me know.

I have to be honest if i knew it takes this much effort to upgrade the wifi card I wouldn't have bothered buying it and the laptop.

Tried following the tutorials but would say its a bit above my knowledge and very vague + a few errors in the process that totally puts me of doing it myself. Don't want to brick a new laptop.

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I have a supertalent corestore MV in an x200 tablet and I just need this device to be bootable via option rom. Thinkpads have the phoenix BIOS, i believe.

This BIOS had the whitelist removed.

The firmware update is for the corestore for your reference. It is the 64GB MV series

Thank you so much to whoever can do this!!!

[REQUEST] Lenovo G570A Whitelist removal and UNLOCK (advanced settings)

Hi!

I would like to have my BIOS Whitelist removed, and unlocked, so I can access advanecd menus like temperature settings, and integrated graphics. IGFX is very important to me, because I want to run Mac OS X on my G570, and the Radeon HD6370M card is not really compatible with the OS. The CPU is an i5 (2410m) so it has the HD3000 GPU inside.

Thank you in advance!

P.s. Sorry, I couldn't attach it, it exceeds the size limit.

Please somebody modify my attached bios to accept my new SSD.

Thank you in advance,

PCH-DL and NCCH-DL PCI initialization

$

0
Hello,

I have an Asus PCH-DL and an Asus NCCH-DL board (only one of them is used, but the problem stands for both). I have a regular PCI SATA card (Silicon Image SIL3512) in one of the regular PCI slots for the DVD drive, and an Areca ARC1110 card for the HDD's in one of the 64-bit slots. Though both boards have on-board SATA, my Samsung DVD does not like them (sometimes the drive cannot be seen by the BIOS).

Both of the boards initialize the PCI-X bus first, then the 32-bit PCI bus. The problem is that the Areca card needs relatively long time to initiailze itself, and only after it comes the Silicon Image. The boot-up time could be reduced by ~10 seconds or more if the Silicon Image card would search for the drives first and during that, the Areca could finalize its initialization (test CPU, BIOS, RAM, PCI-bus, etc.).

Can this be solved by a BIOS mod?

Both boards are based on the i875P (Canterwood) MCH and the 6300ESB (Hence Rapid) ICH. They have AGP, PCI-X and PCI. The BIOSes are also similar.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Greetings,
Dani

P. s.: I attached the original BIOSes of the two boards.

GA-Z77X-up5 TH USB3

Hi
my request is not to unlock but to lock a bios feature on my GA-Z77X-UP5-TH
Bios (Uefi) version F11

http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-...=4279#bios

In the bios there's an option in Peripherals called "xHCI Mode = Smart Auto"

From manual:
"Smart Auto
This mode is available only when the BIOS supports the xHCI controller in the pre-boot environment. This mode is similar to Auto, but it adds the capability to route the ports to xHCI or EHCI according to setting used in previous boots (for non-G3 boot) in the pre-boot environment. This allows the use of USB 3.0 devices prior to OS boot. xHCI controller enabling and rerouting should follow the steps in Auto, when previous boot routs ports to EHCI. Note: This is the recommended mode when BIOS has xHCI pre- boot support."

The on-board USB 3.0 port function like a 2.0 port before OS USB 3.0 driver load.
If you reboot the OS, during this reboot BIOS phase, BIOS is "Smart" enough to avoid downgrade the USB 3.0 port back to 2.0 functionality before OS USB 3.0 driver load. So Smart Auto is faster than Auto on 2nd boot onward.

Bios is dependent on Windows/USB3 driver to make that smart feature step in.

I'm dual booting Windows and OS X 10.8.3 on my comp and it's not a big problem for me but for many other that dosn't have windows on their hackintosh

Can that "xHCI Mode = Smart Auto" be locked so that the USB3 ports won't be downgraded to USB2 ?

If so i would also like to have Slic 2.1 (Gigabyte)

[Request] Compaq Presario F500 BIOS

Hi Guys...

I hope that this is the correct forum for this post.

Thanks for such an informative site. A little bewildering, but give me time and I'll be up to speed with all your info - I hope.

I have a Compaq Presario F500 running Vista 32-bit.

My current BIOS Version is F.03:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...16440#N749

HP's latest 'current' BIOS is F.20: (Which I have not installed):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...0&sw_lang=

The machine has been repaired - (GPU reballing & fan speed mod) and is working fine. The fan now runs at full speed - continuously. It is driving me to distraction - making the laptop almost unusable.

I have installed Afterburner and Speedfan. The Afterburner readout is great, Speedfan has no effect. The fan speed cannot be adjusted, and is greyed out.

The laptop will be used on a firm surface - and I will be monitoring the GPU temp carefully. (It currently idles at about 51-55 degs). I would like to edit the BIOS - I presume that the BIOS has been 'modded' by HP to run the fan at max - to slowly reduce the fan to a reasonable level.

I am aware of the Nvidia Go 6100 heat problems & I'm willing to risk the slower fan speed. Can anyone advise please ? Has anyone been successful at reducing the fan speed via the BIOS ? I am presuming that the fan speed is controlled within the BIOS after all the complaints with this model unseating the GPU.

If all else fails I could even wire in an external fan supply - or tap from the board using a zener - with a sensor on the board just for the fan, but I'd like to try the BIOS edit first. If necessary I can cut open the base to increase air flow. The machine is intended as a music server and will be on a firm surface to ensure a reasonable air flow.

I've flashed BIOSes before (not on this laptop), and have had no problems. I've even tried searching for a BIOS prior to this HP 'Fan Speed' mod without success. Is anyone here aware of a site that keeps a laptop's BIOS 'history' ?

Thanks.
Bill

Edit: Jesus Christ, I rebooted my laptop to take pictures of the bios. I forgot to press F2 to enter bios, so it started loading Windows. I pressed ctrl+alt+del and then F2, and entered BIOS. I could see all the hidden settings!!! WTF? There was an OEMDebug menu, thermal settings and so on! After a reboot it was gone unfortunately. What happened? Can anyone explain?
