[Request] HP 620 whitelist removal

[Vladka76]

Hello, rbeltran.

I don't understand about your tests with your laptop and his BIOS, what do you mean?
It seems that some kinds of HP BIOSes are too hard to modify (for free), and as result we receive the silence... :-(
Your HP420 use the same BIOS as my HP620, but in your case, you have one serious trouble: your version F.20 cannot be modified/patched, because she has an RSA protection. You can replace her (downgrade to previous F.0A or older) only by using SPI programmer. If you have one and if you're familiar with soldering, you may download my working dump of version F.0A, which is not RSA protected. But make backup first!!! Theoretically, my version can be modified. :-)
Yes, all other filenames that you wrote are BIOSes for our laptops. I had try to search for these filenames, but foung nothing, except two last, that are newest ones.

My idea how to resolve this problem - buy a Wi-Fi module from other non-working and disassembled HP620 for sale through one of Internet auction sites.

Sorry for my english too. :-)
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,

I recently got an old HP 620, which I now use for office and inernet when staying at my parent's. It only got useable when I upgraded the CPU und RAM (Celeron T3100 --> Core 2 Duo T9300, 2GB DDR3-1333@800 --> 2x4GB DDR3-1333@800. The GL40-Chipset only does FSB800 and DDR3-800).

I wanted to replace the WiFi-/BT-card as well (Ralink RT3090 --> Intel Wireless-AC 7260, since it's the only 802.11ac-card for mPCIe I know) but by chance I stumbled upon the whitelisting-matter beforehand.

I searched thoroughly but could only find open requests in this forum. So I make a new request, hoping that by know someone can do it.  Otherwise I will have to try the method of changing the device ID. This should be the same for a bunch of other HP/Compaq devices, I already saw HP 420-users making requests here as well.

Most recent BIOS is available here.
