Re: hp folio 9470m

So at the end which of the following is true? Did it power on with the original (locked) dump or not?
I only checked if the file produced by the RCU was unlocked correctly, I.e. whether the RCU has done its job or not. I haven't checked anything further.

I did not tried with original dump.
But I've received 5 more today

Sorry my mistake what I wanted to say is that dumped then unlocked. We are on the same page.

But you checked the files and you said they were ok.

Re: hp folio 9470m

...Wait a minute, I have a feeling we are not in a same page here. So now you're telling the machine also doesn't turn on with the locked dump. Right?

I am done with my batch now but will receive more on Monday. I had to use same bin file (first one in previous post) 4 times and I honestly don't think that another programmer will do anything different. Because like I told you I can dump and unlock but will not turn on. But you checked the files and you said they were ok. The only bin works for me is the one in previous post (the magic .bin)

...but when I flush with the original&unlocked bin computer doesnt power on.

Wait a minute, I have a feeling we are not in a same page here. So now you're telling the machine also doesn't turn on with the locked dump. Right? If that's the case "congratulations", how do you expect something different with the unlocked dump? RCU/HPU doesn't bring back death to life, only do the unlocking nothing more, nothing less. If you expect the functionality to repair corrupted dump, I must disappoint you - not going to happen. So now you have two options, option one - to rebuild your bad dump with the clean one from the HP support site, clean the ME firmware, and afterwards to input the DMI info with the corresponding tool, or option two to take some other working dump with DMI info already in it, and clean the ME Firmware only. And next time be more careful, good verified dump of the factory bios is very important as you already learn in a hard way.

Re: hp folio 9470m

You're stubborn, and can't be denied, right?
OK, try this one but as I already said, the problem is not in the (RCU_unlocked) file but in the programmer. Program the chip, then read it and compare the contents, if everything matches, the problem should be solved.

But look at the evidence, I can re-program the micron chip with "some other dump, other than what I have (eg. downloaded from forum)" but when I flush with the original&unlocked bin computer doesnt power on. What would you think. I would think 2 things either I cannot properly read the chip (which you checked and said my dump is ok so it is not the case) or properly write to chip (which I can with some other dump). If the programmer wasnt good I wasnt able to flash with some bin file. But I can and it works. But at the end I will have multiple clones. Because I have multiple machines. Dont blame me I am stubborn because I am after truth

Also I can dump the chip use UEFI tool inject the bios from support site, computer works.. But in manufacturing mode

I did flash with two different dumps. First one (which works all the time FOLIO_9470M) is downloaded from this thread and the second one that you gave me (unlocked) what is the difference between two? Because what I downloaded (FOLIO_9470M), it works, but what you unlocked it doesnt (does not power on) Please see attachments. Also just noticed the size is different as well (when zipped)

I contacted him and he pointed the programmer.

Re: hp folio 9470m

There is no user account in this dump, only administrator one, so the unlocked dump created by the RCU/HPU should work.
As I said, in this case the problem is at the programmer side.
The file produced by the RCU/HPU is OK.
You can write to the author of the RCU in the thread about the RCU, but he will tell you the same.

It is really annoying, I just used UEFItool to inject BIOS from support site to original dump and programmed the micron chip. It booted up right away but to my surprise in manufacturing mode with lots of missing info (dmi tool has to be used) but it is not practical.. It is very very annoying......

Please refer to #123 for the file.

Re: hp folio 9470m

Upload here the example of the factory dump, and the dump altered by the RCU with which you have a problem for examination.
Тhe only option in which a problem may occur is if there is a user account created in addition to the administrator account.
Using RCU as well as HPU in this case is useless.

Please refer to #123 for the file. As I said before I have two types of these laptops, 1st is w licence winbond chips (no problems here), second type is w7 pro licences with micron chips. I have problems with these chips. I have downloaded a bios unlock from this thread (#117) it works fine to reprogram (without verification, verification gives me error) but when I dump the original bios and unlock both with rcunlocker or hpunlocker laptop doesnt power on.

But I can use the file (#117) and re-program my micron chip (without verification) and works fine and powers up. But when I dump factory bios from the laptop and unlock both with rcunlocker or hpunlocker laptop doesnt power on?

Re: hp folio 9470m

This is a programmer issue, not related in any way with the usage of the RCU.
In other words, the RCU cannot modify the file in a way causing problems with programming and/or verification of the chip.

But when I dump factory bios from the laptop and unlock both with rcunlocker or hpunlocker laptop doesnt power on? I attached both my dump and unlocked file. Is there any way to check the integrity of my dump?

Re: hp folio 9470m

That what I was thinking. I am ok with dumping, but RCUnlocker so far didnt worked for me. I am using neoprogrammer, and after RCUnlocker it gives me error on verification stage only with micron chip (winbond is ok).

Re: hp folio 9470m

No. Every machine has unique data in it's factory bios, like the DMI data, also Intel ME firmware and so on. So the proper way to do it is to unlock the factory dump.

As mentioned winbond and micron. Windbond works with dump unlock and re-program (flash), but the micron.. I can read, write, verification gives me error also when I solder the chip back to laptop it gives me alternating power light (white, orange) with laptop, and laptop does not power on.

Re: hp folio 9470m

Thank you for this. File that I attached at #117 worked for me. But my question was is it ok to flash multiple BIOS with same file?

Re: hp folio 9470m

Tried ASProgrammer with a .bin file that I downloaded from this thread. It worked. But I dont want to flash all the laptops with same bios (or is it ok?) How can I make sure that my dump is ok? (dumping multiple times, I do)
Two laptops that I tried was unlocked with RCLocker. Probably that is the culprit?

bios unlocked try it..

Re: hp folio 9470m

Goes well without verifying but the laptop, power light goes between white and orange. No boot, does not power on. I tried this on two laptops with same MICRON chips. In this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96crJwtE1ls) video, the guy uses same chip, same controller and same programmer software with success. It is really annoying.

use one of these programs.

stop the verification and write one like this, see what happens
