In August, I requested the modification of my HP Envy 4
F.25 bios but received no response. So I asked for someone to show me how to mod my bios myself. I received a reply from you Donovan, this is what you said...

A lot of people start here. However a lot of people also give up there...
So I followed your tutorial and attempted to learn how to modify my bios. I now know how to unlock the advanced/power tabs in my bios. This is what I did.... I located the tab addresses of my bios tabs.
Code:
Viewable tabs:
0x18009813F = Tab address = 180098130 = Main (0x4 from string package 0x0)
0x180097D8F = Tab address = 180097D80 = Security (0x3C from string package 0x0)
0x180089E4F = Tab address = 180089E40 = System Configuration (0x62 from string package 0x0)
0x180097B7F = Tab address = 180097B70 = Exit (0x184 from string package 0x0)
Hidden tabs:
0x18008E78F = Tab address = 18008E780 = Advanced (0x1D7 from string package 0x0)
0x18008BE0F = Tab address = 18008BE00 = Power (0x411 from string package 0x0)
0x180097C4F = Tab address = 180097C40 = Diagnostics (0x48 from string package 0x0)
0x1800978BF = Tab address = 1800978B0 = Main (0xFE from string package 0x0)
0x18008D7CF = Tab address = 18008D7C0 = Security (0x12E from string package 0x0)
I have replaced the tab address of the security tab with the tab address of the advanced tab.

This is where I need your assistance again. I've yet to flash my modified bios because it's RSA signed and a modification to the bios will cause a brick. According to the internet, you are the only person who knows how to modify RSA signed bios'. As you can see, I have put in effort to learn how to modify my bios with zero knowledge. If you can advise me how to bypass the start-up check so I can flash my modified bios, I will be extremely grateful.
Once I'm able to flash my modified bios, I'll play experiment with strings to see whether or not I can display hidden tabs without having to replace tabs.
