          When you have your dump, just drag and drop your file on my HPUnlocker tool and it will create a new file. It will add "_unlocked" to the name of your locked file.

          Just program the new file on your bios IC.

          This unlocker should work on all Elite, EliteBook, ProBook and maybe some other series HP laptops.

              You first need a tool for that. Raspberry pi, minipro, Ch341A, tl866 or any other SPI programmer. Then unsolder the chip and attach it to programmer. Read, modify, write. Then solder it back to motherboard.

                I have a raspberry pi 3, is there a video on the forum on how to unsold the chip
                is there a way how I can get the bios dump and modify it without unsolder the bios chip ?

                  Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

                  No, not on your model. If you need to ask how to unsolder it, it would be faster and cheaper to let somebody do it who knows how to do it. Otherwise next question would be "How to fix broken traces?"

                  Anyway, you need a hot air station (NOT hot air gun), raspberry pi with flashrom installed and a soic8 or wson8 adapter.

                      Do you know if the Probook 645 G4 (AMD Ryzen Pro 2000U series) falls into that same category?

                      All I know is that it started selling in June 2018, and I'm guessing these are the chips.

                          Worked like a charm on a HP Probook 4520s

                          it had bios setup password, desoldered flash, dumped bios, removed passwrod, reprogram, win!. After this i could finally update the BIOS(as it was super outdated).

                          Testing with a different bios dump yielded no boot

                                I am really not sure. Too new for me so I have not tested it on that model yet.

                                        Well, you need to specify which model you have. BIOS chip models don't say much.

                                            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,...

                                            Hello,

                                            I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                            The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                            However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                            BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                                            by Sebastian Codrean
                                            Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                                            The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                                            So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                                            Hello everybody!

                                            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                                            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
