HP Disabled Whitelist Mega Thread!

[schef]

Hello everyone, have a hp 6730s, I just bought a broadcom, but is in the whitelist, I might say, how to change the BIOS ...
Thanks to all

Hi..This is a little HOWTO i managed to bypass wireless whitelist on my HP Compaq 6730s which has efi bios and uses HPQFlash with ROM.CAB file.

Few years from now i did similar thing on my HP dv2320us (dv2000) which used WPH in combination with Winphlash so this is little diffrent. Why am i mentioning this..? Because i used combination of two. http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/printthread.php?tid=5577 and previous knowledge.

1- Extract spxxxxx.exe, then extract ROM.CAB
2- Open Rom.bin with Andy's tool (PhoenixTool from phoenixtool185)
3- Once decompress, select "other" in manufacturer
4- At advanced choose: 'no SLIC' and 'Allow user to modify other modules' press done
5- Press GO and wait until the tool pauses and show popup (Don't press OK at this time).
And now comes the "hard part". I copyed the DUMP folder to my Linux box and used some scripting to find my original because there are A LOT of files in a DUMP folder.
I used something like

Code:

for i in ./*; echo $i; do hexdump $i | grep "14e4 4315" > log.txt

after that i surfed through the file and concluded that there are 4 files in which my wireless card is repated.
My original Broadcom card was
14e4 4315 137d103c in windows device manager and
e4 14 15 43 3c 10 7d 13 in hex editor

My intel Card is
168c 001c 10261a3b in windows device manager and
8c 16 1c 00 3b 1a 26 10 in hex editor.

so the files in which i located my card were:
233DF097-3218-47B2-9E09-FE58C2B20D22_2_815.rom
53984C6A-1B4A-4174-9512-A65E5BC8B278_1_803.rom
5EE86B35-0839-4A21-8845-F1ACB0F688AB_3_335.rom
F6D35FBB-63EA-4B25-81A5-5E62B4886292_3_178.rom

do in each of them there were two "lines" i edited:
first i replaced e4 14 15 43 3c 10 7d 13 with 8c 16 1c 00 3b 1a 26 10
and
e4 14 15 43 3c 10 7c 13 with ff ff ff 11 00 00 00 00.
Why this? Couse when i calculate the strings that i ended 555 + 556 = 1111 with the string i wanted to enter 328 was 1111 - 328 = 782 which is decimal of "ff ff...."
I don't know if this was necesary but i wanted to calculate the checksum allone..

that was for my part. Now i finished the previous tutorial with jumping to number 8.

8- Press OK on Andy's tool popup
The Andy's tool will notice about changes that were made and will reintegrate the module.

I rebuilded ROM.CAB with CABPACK (cabpck14) and flashed it with patched HPQFlash (HPQFlash_4.30.10.2_patched).

And it WORKED..!

Ok, let me re-re-check it and give it another shot, keep looking mediafire folder, when your file appear again (i deleted non working one) then you can download and test.

I think i saw the check, let me patch and repack bios. 10 min and done.

Nice day and sorry for the failed releases.
Camilo.

@pantovad, latest release uploaded, i hope it is definitive one

Hello Camilo,

I had no luck with the latest release so I ended up changing the PCI ID of one of Broadcom entries with Intel 2200 and got it working ! The biggest issue was that usual changes (hex editing) of the files in TEMP folder of Phoenix editor did not work for ROMEXEC0.ROM - I rather had to change the PCI entry in the original BIOS image and then rebuild it in Phoenix editor ...

Anyhow many many thanks for your effort and excellent work on this thread !

I saw the patched romexec0 does not get integrated in the rebuilt bios, i will try another trick cause i have the whitelist remove patch. I deleted the nonworking one (again), when a new file appear in the folder then it should be the working one Thanks for your patience.

Camilo.

[Chapu]

come back and give feedback please.

And here I am! I tested your ROM this weekend and it worked perfectly! Finally I ended up flashing it with the Insyde [win key] + [B key] recovery method, because I had already erased the original Vista partition in the computer, and reinstalling it turned out to be next to impossible. Never mind, the point is that not only your modded BIOS flashed without incident, but also I installed the intended new wireless card (the one with the Atheros chip) and the 104 error didn't show up :-D I was able to succesfully install the drivers for the card and use it in both Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu 11.04.

So I guess you can add that ROM to the list of the ones that have been confirmed to work. Remember, my model is a Pavilion TX2532LA and the BIOS rev. is F.0F. Thank you SO much, man!!!

Thanks for the feedback

Nice day

Hello,

I have an HP DV7-1270 CA with an Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN WLAN adaptor. I would like to replace it with an Intel Centrino 62230ANHMW.

Can you please supply a modified bios so that I can do this. Will removing the whitelist allow me to add any WLAN card or just the Intel Centrino I mention here.

The curent bios can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-91571-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3860666&sw_lang=&os=4063

Thanks in advance.
