A quick guide how to ID a samsung bios,and download the official update.


1. Open your backup with your hex editor of choice and search for the word SECFID ,SEC,SECWUP,$FID or $Revision ,(search with unicode if there are no plain text results) after that is the bios version with platform ID.

2. After the word SECFID,SEC,SECWUP,$FID or $Revision will be the bios version and platform ID .In the picture you can see P09 (bios version) and ABE (Platform ID) EDIT: The bios version and platform ID can also be found on a sticker on the motherboard,often on the ram slot https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...1&d=1414404215 (Credit to dycc )
