    Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

    I take them from junk motherboards. Have had bad experience when I ordered 10 new ones from ebay. Only 1 of them worked.

          guidep, your issue is with reading/writing. It has actually nothing to do with my unlocker.

          His issue was that he had the file name lockedbios.rom and had to rename it to lockedbios.bin for it to work.

          But to think of it... That *.bin restriction was unnecessary. It was added just because I always have used .bin extension and not .rom or anything other.

            Hi, got another 840G3 where the HPUnlocker is not working. Guess the location is again stored in two different places. @RethoricalCheese - do you mind posting the clean vss-section as file, so i could put them in via HxD? Image original and unlocked is attached

            @RethoricalCheese - got it working i used the userCred section from the previous one you patched for me. If you look at both files, there is a section with alot of numbers in UserCred, you unlocker did not remove those. As i removed this section via HxD it worked. Maybe this is something you want to look into for future HPUnlocker updates

            Block B1908C-B190C8 // 00B19170 // 00B19200

              Yes, I am aware of the problem. It is just that mostly that section is not like yours is. I have unlocked maybe a thousand HP-s and never had one like you have.

              Since I am working on another unlocker (which takes only a second or two to read, unlock and write), I will redo the unlocking part when I get to that point.

                Hi @RethoricalCheese, I have a question, I have an HP Probook 6470b but it has two users in the bios locked by password, I only know the password of one them, but unfortunately the Bios Administrator I have no idea... I bought it in that state 5 years ago, I would like to know if in this state your tool can unlock the bios administrator but having an extra user in the bios.

                  It shouldn't be a problem. Just unlock using this tool and then when you get to bios you can reset security settings aswell to be sure everything is removed.

                      Probably just too new and something has changed. I don't have such a new laptop to try anything on.

                                            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,...

                                            Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                            by Forest79
                                            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...
