    Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

    I would buy a better programmer first
    But on that model, I think you need to program both chips. Just in case don't use the tool, just upload bin files and somebody will unlock manually.

      I am using flashrom to write

      Do you have another bin file or could you please check the file?

      Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

        first thanks for reply! what do you mean with program both Chips? Do you think it doesnt work with the ch341a programmer? Sorry im beginner with this kind of technic and which programmer I should buy? My plan was not to desolder the Chip because I didnt have do that before!

          the bios is ok, there is no problem there, remove the bios chip from the motherboard before writing the chip, if you use the clip you may have errors ... if you have nothing to remove it, fix the clip on the chip.

            Hi,

            so i could have written to the chip and have verified the writting process (dump again and compare the hash).
            But still haven't luck. Laptop start with no output and the fan runs after 5 seconds full speed.

            Do you have any ideal?

            Thanks

                  Maybe something wrong with the 2nd BIOS? Even if i flash back the original dump, it has the same problem (Power LED lights on and fan runs after 10s full speed)

                      yes of cource i did. I always read again 2 times and check the Hash for sure. What i am wondering is, that the version, which i have dumped before i updated the BIOS doesn't work too. And i am 100% sure that this dump is good. Here is the dump you can check.

                      So what makes me concern is there is something new with the latest BIOS Version of HP, which prevents the boot. hmm i dont know

                              Hi all

                              can someone please help me get this HP Unlocker tool?
                              link from the beginning of this thread is not working, for me at least

                              i have HPBR by mazzif from before anyway ... but the only files inside are USB image tool and HPBR-Win32(with HP Bios Unlock.exe inside)

                              if i drag a bin file on HP Bios Unlock.exe im not getting an unlocked bin file ...
                              this HP Bios Unlock.exe is same with HP-Unlocker that you are talking about in this forum? thanks

                                            [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,...

                                            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...
