Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

Hi! Need help, I have an Elitebook 1040 G3. Unsoldered the BIOS-chip (W25Q64FV), attached it to CH341, did 3 dumps that were zero differences, continued to RCunlocker, did not work ("Missing unlockable content", the HPunlocker did produce a "_unlocked" file, erased the W25Q64FV and flashed "_unlocked".

However, now when i read the chip again and compare it to the unlocked version, I get 1500 differences? And I also get "Verification error on address: 0000000F" in AsProgrammer 2.0.2. Don't know what to...

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock

Hi guys! I'm in the process of desolder the chips from a 1040 G3, do I need to dump both the Winbond (U32) and the chip at U23 which does not appear to be Winbond?

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock



Thank you! I had a look at that thread before and from what I figured you needed an actual dump-file to do anything, this ebay-seller could create a SMC-file from nothing but my information, no dump-file was sent to him! Maybe I've missed something in the other thread, did not read all 55 pages I'm going to have a read!...

Re: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G3, Password Unlock

Hi!
I've got a 1040 G3 which is locked too, however I bought a bios chip on ebay and replaced it. When I booted my 1040 it "reflashed" the old BIOS with passwords and everything, so weird! Anyway, I contacted the seller who asked me to send a picture of my "System Information"-screen (F1 at boot). I did that and a day later he sent me a SMC.bin-file that unlocked my BIOS! How does he create that file, does anyone here know how to do it?
