Hi, so you know how to add dmi info to an HP 2570p bios dump - can you explain the process for us?
Some of the units we buy come bios locked, so I usually download a dump and then use the nbdmifit and windmifit tools to enter the info. This doesn't always work - sometimes the tool thinks the bios is locked even though the post screen says its in manufacturing mode which means its unlocked, right?
So I'd like to take a dump, add the dmi info, then flash it. So, if you can help I appreciate it!

1. You CANNOT add dmi info to blank dump with nbdmifit or wndmifit BEFORE flash...
2. BUT, if u download a newdump file with BLANK dmiinfo, and flash it, then you will facing Manufacturing Mode, thats mean your notebook has unlocked,so you can enter winOS
3. Wndmifit can mpm unlocking,but sometimes some info cannot be filling by this programs, you need another tools : biosconfigutility
4. So you can use BIOSCONFIGUTILITY to fill FULL INFO of your DMI.

Ok, so the blank dmi info triggers manufacturing mode?

Hmm, wndmifit probably calls BIOSCONFIGUTILITY. I haven't been able to unlock anything with wndmifit, only lock...
So what I am getting at is - How do I make a blank dump from my units dump using a hex editor? Because that way I can preserve or update ME regions, etc...
With other brands I dump with a ch341 type programmer, then use HxD to edit as necessary, then flash it back...
Hi

This is the post I'm referring to - Techman, are you blanking the dmi info or replacing with new dmi?
And how do i do it lol? How do I blank the DMI info? Just hex in 00s? or...
Id like to know the offsets if anyone has worked them out, or text search strings to find the dmi info in the dump. I've seen the system configration IDs (usually look like A1009D11 or A1002C22 etc) in dumps before...
