[sp50942] Whitelist removal request for HP dv7-4381eg

[thopiekar]

I already bought a Delock WLAN+Bluetooth module as you can find it here: http://delock.de/produkte/gruppen/indust...anguage=EN

I was happy getting it today, but the BIOS just halts the system. Hope you can help removing the whitelist.

* BIOS download page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...ob-89087-1&cc=de&dlc=de&lc=de&os=4063&product=5091164&sw_lang=

* Built-in module: Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n
** PNP-device ID: PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_145C103C&REV_01\4&2ECDC297&0&00E0

* Don't know if this BIOS is RSA protected.

* ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50942.exe

btw: this isn't the latest bios. Just installed this one which is marked as the latest on the HP page, but when rebooting the HP Support Assistant tells me to upgrade again. So would be great if you could find the "really" latest BIOS and mod it. But this one is also working fine.

summary:
* Recover BIOS to original by copying the content of https://rapidshare.com/files/1588032133/...BIOSFIX.7z to the root of a FAT32 formated USB-Stick.
** HINT: Haven't tested it, but I suggest that the new FAT32 Volume _needs_ to be called "HP_Tools" to be used by the BIOS to recover itself.
* Remove the HP_Tools partition to make the Insyde Flasher work the right way. (Not to use the HP_Tools partition to flash the BIOS.) Finally when the flasher reboots let your notebook reboot for the first time.
** Turning of the notebook when seeing the hp-logo could revert the changes or break the BIOS. Recovery to the original and reflashing the whitelist bios will be needed.

Surf my shared folders, i think i already have modded it. Read my signature

I'm sorry, but I haven't found it there.
I also could be wrong. Could you send me the link if you find it?

Thanks!

Shared folder 1, 100% confirmed, Page 2, on the very bottom, in fact the last file of the page 2.

Just found this one here: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-cl...al-Request

Used the BIOS updater, but now I can't boot into Windows. During boot a message appears that BIOS recovery has failed.

Are there any intructions how to fix that?

[camiloml]

That message should not prevent you to boot the OS, is just a warning, you need to remove hptools partition for the bios updater to work.

[thopiekar]

how can I skip then the message to get my OS started?

[camiloml]

simply let it boot

[thopiekar]

After this message:

my notebook turns always off and trys to recover again.
No matter if I leave it boot or push the button "Continue Startup".

Do I have to remove the HP_Tools partition? have attached to my home pc. I could remove it there or how can I install the original bios on the notebook now?

PS: also tried this: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Br...2#pid36792

PSS: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-RE...9#pid30509 , also don't worked for me. While having no *.sig file
