    How to transfer serial number and DMI data from bad HP BIOS to good one?

    Hi,

    i have a corrupted BIOS file from a laptop, but i need to recover the serial number and DMI info (like product name, UUID, etc.). I also have a good BIOS dump from the same model.
    Is there a simple way to copy the DMI data from the bad file to the good one?
    HP 650 G3

    Thanks!

      use Bios Configuration Utility (BCU). install it and use it under cmd as Admin. use cmd line "biosconfigutility /get:1.txt" (or whatever you want to name it). Open 1.txt with text editor and change serial, sku buildid, fearure byte, CT and mac adress with one from old bios. You can find serial, sku buildid, fearure byte going to "partsurfer.hp.com" and type serial from old bios (5CG7372HL5)
      Serial Number : 5CG7372HL5
      Product Number : Z2W51EA
      Description : HP ProBook 650 G3
      BuildID: 16WWCLCT601#SABD#DABD
      Feature Byte: 3Q3X476J6S6Z6b7H7M7Q7W7m7saBaEapaqauawbhdQdUdpdqfXgd.eT

      CT and Mac Adress you'll find on a label from faulty motherboard. CT is PGDQK00WB911KK

      Modify 1.txt with these values, save it as "2.txt" in Documents folder then move it to BCU folder (it won't let you to save in BCU folder). Then use cmd line "biosconfigutility /set:2.txt". You can do this with BCU if you don't have password on bios.

              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
              by Wahaz
              Hello,

              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

              [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
              by zenius
              Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

              Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

              Changing BIOS Serial Number After Motherboard Replacement on EliteBook x360 G3
              by Friend33
              Hello,

              I have an EliteBook x360 G3 where I had to replace the motherboard. Everything is working fine and there are no errors during boot. However, I have the issue that the serial number in the BIOS is incorrect. When I run the DMI tool under Windows, I get an error stating that I am not in Unlocked Mode and therefore cannot make any changes. I was able to change the Asset Tag directly in the BIOS. Now I am wondering, can I simply read the BIOS chip, change the serial number with a hex editor, and write it back, or what other options do I have? The old motherboard did not work at...

              [HELP] G712LWS BIOS capsule
              by TraJikar Mac
              I need someone that can capsulate one of the bios files below, and i prefer the older bios version so i can flash it using CH341A tool into the bios chip.
              The manufacturer BIOS files are bigger than the BIOSbackup1.bin files by 256KB and I don't know how to fix or recompile it.

              You can see in this link a conversation between me and other people (Starting at page 10) who tried to help me (thanks to their efforts), but i still couldn't fix it and the laptop is considered as dead until now.

              Also, I uploaded a backup file for the bios that I extracted by using CH341A...

              Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
              by mikeybass
              Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...
