The main BIOS file is 30F7F665.FD.I’m trying to install a Realtek RTL8188CE WiFi card (HP P/N 639967-001, SPS 640926-001, PCI ID VEN_10EC & DEV_8176).I followed the classic whitelist removal guide (the one with EZH2O / WinHex / debug + changing 75 to EB) and also tried the modern UEFITool method:
  • Searched the full .FD for the 104-U string (31 00 30 00 34 00 2d 00 55 and the shortened 31 00 30 00 34 00) → not found.
  • Extracted all 9 PE32 modules with UEFITool 0.28.0.
  • Searched every extracted .bin for my card ID (10 EC 81 76), common Broadcom IDs (14 E4), Atheros (16 8C), and other Realtek (10 EC) → nothing found.
I saw that TTAV134 made a whitelist-removed mod specifically for the dv4-1xxx / Compaq CQ40/CQ45 series using the exact same sp48847.exe files (including 30F7F665.FD, 30F7F664.FD, etc.). The old SendSpace link for “HP DV4-1xxx_Compaq_CQ40_CQ45_series_INTEL_30F7F66_sp48847_no_whitelist_by_TTAV134.zip” is dead.Would someone be able to:
  1. Re-upload the TTAV134 mod for these exact files, or
  2. Mod my 30F7F665.FD to remove the WLAN whitelist (and preferably WWAN too)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!]]> I have an HP Pavilion dv4-1431us running InsydeH2O BIOS F.66 Rev. 3.5 (extracted from sp48847.exe).

However I forgot to dump the bricked BIOS out and flash the Instant Flash image from ASRock website, which I guess is missing the descriptor + AMD PSP, now I'm stuck with no other way around.

Does anyone have a full dump of a working unit, or any dump of the ASRock X470 family for stitching is okay  Sad

Hello! New here and stumbling around hoping for a little assistance. Self induced dilemma = I decided to build a ridiculous game box using a lenovo Y570 model# CB01061723 which was headed for e-waste due to cracked screen etc. I pulled the mobo and had it connected via hdmi. Full disclosure.... This poor thing will never have a battery again and now has the full 16gb ram and I fully intend to use an external gpu. I came across a V2.06 unlocked bios and after many failed attempts due to efi boot partition size, got it flashed. All was well until I fiddled with display options and managed to black screen. I pulled the CMOS and spammed the power button and let sit for hours to no avail. Gave up on that, pulled the Efeon chip and flashed the original bios back (which I dumped from the start) using a t48 programmer. Still black screen 😑. Yes I've properly poo'd the bed. Yes, this is a stupid project. This thing is a dinosaur but had all the I/O that would be perfect for a retro box. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.]]>

I am new to bios update but i got a old intel motherboard and a xeon E5 2680 V1. After some research i found out that this xeon processor is supported on the DX79 but after some bios update. 
After many attempts to update the bios from 537 to 590 ( i used the classic method press F7 then use a stick format Fat32. Then i used intel express bios update on win7 32bit) 
I read that the intel bios on those boards can be updated only with SPI programmer. I made a bios back up from the chip and then when i wanted to write the new bios i found out that the 590 bios have 9.9mb and the old bios have 8mb.

So now i need someone that can send me a 8mb 590 bios or tell me where i do wrong...]]>

The reason I wanted to do this was to gain access to a hidden SATA controller setting that selects what mode the controller is placed in during POST (either AHCI, RAID, or IDE). I had noticed that Panasonic didn't make this option available in the setup menus, which prevents me from running certain operating systems that require legacy IDE. As far as I can tell, the onboard Intel SATA controller should support the legacy IDE mode.

I'd like to request that my original BIOS image (see below) have the Debug menu unlocked (if possible). That and perhaps also debug my modifications that had no effect.

I have attached a ZIP file with two ROM images, both are Aptio 1.x (I forgot what version exactly), are non-UEFI, and are from 2009:
  • The first one, DINGUS.ROM, is a dump I made of the original BIOS with AFUDOS, right before I flashed my initial mod.
  • The second image, included for comparison, is the one currently flashed on the Toughbook; it is a second modification which set the access level of the SATA submenu within the Debug tab to USER in attempt to get it to appear.
