Hello Falseclock...
I have the same problem that elyavark9, do you remember?
-HP DV6-7280LA
-Bios Revision : 3.7
-Bios Version : F.24
-Bios Type : Insyde EFI
So, you gave him a solution by updating the BIOS to the F.26 version and using a FAT32 pendrive with a file (EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.EFI).
Ok, I made all that, EXCEPT the BIOS update because HP retired that update of his website :/
When I try to do all, omiting that step the BOOTX64.EFI doesn't load, it shows an black screen without any message and it doesn't continues.
Help me out with this please!!
Regards!
Enrique Wood.

Hi EnriqueWood,

give it try and rename your pen drive with name: HP_TOOLS.

hello I'm new Falseclock I was following your discussion, I have done the following steps:
1. Take USB stick and format to FAT32
2. Create directory structure EFI\Boot and rename HP_TOOLS
3. Download BOOTX64.EFI
4. Put downloaded file to Boot directory.
5. Restart and enter BIOS setup.
6. Make sure you have following values:
Legacy Support: enable
Secure Boot: Disable
USB 3.0: auto
7. Reboot and press F9 to boot from USB stick
8. Give commands:
setup_var 0x36 0x01
setup_var 0x39 0x01
11. Reboot and you Windows should find Intel AHCI controller.
now AHCI is enable in win8, but the secret menu is not activated, now the menu is original.
to restore the initial values as I do?
I removed the cmos battery but nothing changes.
I restore origina bios F.28 but nothing changes.
what values to enter for the original settings?
just write the following instructions?
setup_var 0x36 0x00
setup_var 0x39 0x00
thanks your answer

13. Enjoy. Hi Falseclock,
I've been doing a bit of reading about this but wasn't sure how similar the Insyde bios' are between different notebook models. I have a DV6-7030tx, bios vF28, InsydeH20 Setup v3.7. Would the above instructions work or do I need to take additional steps to confirm the valid codes to apply?
Also, is there much of a risk of modding the bios this way?

Hp pavilion g6-2342dx
Insyde f.26
I need help changing the dedicated or shared memory (not sure of correct terminology). The system came set with an amd a8-4500 and 512mb vram. (with support for up to two)I have upgraded the cpu to amd a10-5750m and increased the memory to 8gb. So i would like to change the vram to 1gb. I understand that the rams speed is crucial to video performance and that 512mb and 1gb it makes no difference to preformance on lower settings but i would like to increase the vram to use with games that utilize the full 1gb on high settings.

3 weeks ago, when I came to this forums I was a newbie for BIOS modding or accessing it's hidden options.
But I searched a lot of information over internet and found some smart hints.
Having a huge programming skills in disassembling and ASN.1 data reading/parsing I realized a good way to change bios settings without modding.
I have HP Pavillion dv7 7171er with Insyde H2O RSA signed bios.
I found the way how to get it decrypted but all attempts to flash modded bios with patched DLL was unsuccessful. Each time I had to recover my Laptop with Win+B restoring.
On 15th time when by laptop was bricked again I decided to disassemble Setup Menu and found where needed options for me are hidden and how to access them for changes.
So here is small part of decompiled Setup Menu.
As you can see, it is realy represent's what we see in reality.

So now I need 2-3 BIOSes to proof my concept.
If you need to enable AHCI for example of change something else. please post you BIOS links here.
I will test and after 100% success I will write GUIDE and provide source code.
IMPORTANT: This is related only newest BIOSes which are not encrypted.
If it is RSA signed, you will need additional steps. I will inform you in this case.
Moderators, please pin this topic for some time.
You can always unpin in the feature.
