Re: Dell Inspiron/Vostro 5402



This is the latest BIOS. I just need to add the correct module to it so I have more functionality. I have a bios from a Latitude that has the upgraded functionality so I'm going to extract it and compare the bios to see what the difference is in the modules....

Re: Dell Inspiron/Vostro 5402

How do i get that though if not from the bios update? Is there a software that can dump to a useable file? Most of the bios programs I have are for specific files, but no dumping.

When I run it through PFS I get a firmware folder and a utilities folder.

Firmware
----------|
1 System BIOS with BiosGuard v1.9.0.bin
2 Intel Management Engine Consumer Firmware Update v15.0.35.2039.bin
3 Integrated Sensor Hub v5.4.1.4449.bin
4 Main System Cypress Port Controller 0 v1.25.64.31.bin

Re: Dell Inspiron/Vostro 5402

I don't have a dump, just the update package from Dell that I attached. I know that's got the flasher and updates inside, but they don't extract like the old Dells used to. Now I get a bunch of separate Bin files.

I need to be able to enable the Thunderbolt security settings. The base thunderbolt settings are there, but the security settings aren't. (display port only, dock settings, etc.)

I can see the settings I need in Dell Command (DCC/GTTK), but it can't write bios settings since it's not a business line laptop.

I attached the official firmware. I can extract it with Dell PFS Extract, but I don't get what to do next. If someone could mod or help me mod this I would appreciate the help....

My old bios modding forum is long gone, and I haven't come up on any issues with my PCs until now. I am joining to learn if there is any possibility of unlocking. Glad to see people are still dedicated to this endeavor.
