[IMPOSSIBLE] HP Pavilion DV6 F.1A sp54024 Unlock Request

[Necrotic]

Impossible???? Noooooo...... so close, yet so far....

[hani93]

yep

[petek]

well, all is not lost. The NWL works fine [Just remember, first flash the official HP bios... make your changes [e.g.: enable VT] and
then load the mod. This way the settings should stick] and there's
always a way to reprogram the EEPROM on the wlan cards as
well. e.g.: For everybody favorites AR9280, there's "Atheros Eeprom Tool" [aet] and Broadcom cards can be flashed with some open-source
tools as well.

Impossible to unlock Power and Advanced and the laptop not die when changing anything in bios. Theme closed by now. Sorry guys

Can be added my card to the whitelist without modify the bios signature?

Atheros AR5B93 (9280)

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_663211AD&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&CC_028000

nope, a simple byte change invalidates signature. but if you want to try...

I meant if possible add my card without unlocking the whitelist or the menu. I guess this would avoid the problems I have sometimes with black screens.
Sometimes it does just boot with a USB connected or Ctrl+Alt+Del. No need to change anything in the bios. I guess that happens when signature checks.

Thanks anyway Camiloml!

Don't know which one is your card, if you can reprogram it (i read many cards let do) to fake the device id it shows on the pci bus to a whitelisted one and add it to your drivers inf it should work with original bios and problems solved.

My operating system only recognizes my card and this work should provide the correct information Atheros, I can not use any other as Ralink and Broadcom that are on the whitelist.

I tried to change the info of Broadcom for the atheros in
5CD10F33-B73B-465F-A89B-7A881137D416_2_851
and I've tried with your patched InsydeFlash. It works with the same problems as your BIOS (unlocked whitelist and menus).
Black screen sometimes to make changes.

Broadcom 4313
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C&REV_01
E414 2747 3C10 8314

Atheros AR5B93
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_663211AD&REV_01
8C16 2A00 AD11 3266

I surrender

[camiloml]

I told you, change even one bit messes signature and have black screen side effect. but it seems you don't trust my word and had to re-discover yourself
