Dell Vostro 3450 Advanced Options unlocking in progress
#21
Quote:Here is the A04 -> A11 diff:
Thanks for the info. It appears that we gotta look somewhere else... or continue raping the setup module Smile

Also, I was stupid enough to mess around with offsets that looked somewhat similar, like 00 29 .. 29 .. .. 82 .. .. 00, and ended up hiding some of the options previously unlocked lol.

Another important thing: do not change any settings that have to do with LVDS! I bricked my laptop and had to disassemble it and remove the motherboard battery to reset BIOS settings to defaults Smile

UEFI boot has been confirmed working in another thread, so give it a try Smile

Could have tried VGA or HDMI (I absolutely hate the person who designed the interior of this model)... I have set something and it booted with completely blue screen on LVDS but was fine over on VGA.

We need to keep tinkering with the setup module, at least that's my best bet.

Hahaha.. I just flash the A04 patch and saw there's an UEFI Boot option.. Gonna try this.. Big Grin

These are also missing from Advanced setup:
- Intel ® ME Configuration (Management Engine)
- Intel ® AMT Configuration (Active Management Technology) can possibly be within ME Configuration
- Thermal Reporting Configuration

I'm most interested in the last one.. if it's even a real thing. Because the first two are targeted for businesses and enterprise sector (and I wonder why Dell went so deep disabling access to these .. considering Vostro is somewhat business-oriented laptop model)

Hey hey look what I've got here: http://imgur.com/dHV1R
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work either for some reason.

Look for 0000000000000000450A and change it to 0100000000000000450A to enable these options.

Dude, how the heck do you come up with this? Oo
And by not working you mean that it wont let you in or disabling ME still leaves it enabled?
Speaking of hidden menus ... what's SMBIOS event log anyway ? Is it unlocked alongside of ME config ?

So, in theory ...
[Image: 19Ypj]
We already got the last byte of the IFR SUPRESS sequence inverted.. now you inverted the one waaaaaaaaay waaaaaay back there.
Does this mean that all the 00 bytes in-between are triggers for hidden menus ?

I think I unlocked SMBIOS log by accident when I was looking for the ME config thing. It has a separate 0000000000000000450A string for it, so there should be two in total.
Anyway, setting ME to off doesn't disable it as it is still present in the Device Manager. There's also supposed to be a POST message related to ME, but enabling it doesn't seem to do anything either.
EDIT: No, it's actually the same byte as the one after 8A. See, after 8A there's a 0000000000000000 number, but the sequence before this number can be different... Like this, maybe: http://imgur.com/sMp4x
Well, I'm kind of blindly altering things here... Would love to hear jkbuha's comments on this.

Ok, so what need to be looked up is 02 45 0A 00 I assume ... there are 3 occurrences nearby and there's one more towards the end of the module: http://puu.sh/19Yy1
The first 3 are located just after the IFR sequences we already figured, so I guess it's safe to assume they unlock something as well (you just proved it .. in a way). Whereas the fourth is totally offshore ... and I guess shouldn't be touched at all.
Propose the link to our topic along with the question regarding additional menus in the original discussion for XPS machines, maybe we can get his input here quicker that way.

I think it's better to look for 450A and see what surrounds it, because it seems to be at the end of most 0000000000000000 numbers in the settings table I've encountered... In many cases it looks like this:
45 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 45 0A
Sometimes the first 45 0A is different (like 45 8A or something), but the ending 45 0A is pretty much always the same.
find

#30
45 8A 00 is what we were looking up previously. Those you won't find anything by the sequence of 45 8A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 45 0A since the byte in bold is already flipped.
So one would assume that 02 45 0A 00 is the new target (and it's what you'd find if looking for 45 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 45 0A)
