Hello again!

Starting going deep in this area and already saw some tutorials about phoenix bioses modding, i even modded my own bios with some tools but im afraids of brick something in my laptop (Ya, im scary , a lot scary of brick something), so i prefer do not try it and install this modded BIOS. Can some1 please help me with this BIOS? I saw a lot of features that are disable in my BIOS with HEX Editor , like processor features and OC Tweaks. I would like to have all this option in my bios if some 1 can help me pls.

Sorry for being inpacient but i really need a mod of my bios. :|

Seems there is no chance to mod phoenix secure core tiano, or nobody wants to do it ..

I check it, and seems fpt don't support our platform ..
However i can create clean dump using SPI programmer

But what about spi programmer?
I already tried to modify bios, and all 7 times i have no changes..
I tried to enable support for K0 arrandale processors .. CPUID 20655 , but without any luck , it won't start with K0.
But microcode's which i added was 100% working , and i also recheck bios dump about 3 times after flashing it via programmer.
May be you can help me with cpu upgrade? Or i should create another thread in right section on forum?

Okay guys i found properly way to flash bios region without programmer..
I remembered that i have a full packet of intel tools for hm55 with which i was create bios dump with custom ME region so there is FPT tools for hm55.
I checked fparts, and i founded that there is no support for my flash part - en25f32, so i added this manually and VIOLA! it works !
However i tested it from dos , and notice that read/write function works great ..
I'll attach working intel fpt pack to this post
Also i tried to modify my 2.20 bios for support i5 460m , just replaced microcode 106e5 to 20655(from hp with i5 460m) and flash modded bios, but i didn't test it ..
for bios dump and flash i use this commands
fpt -BIOS -D dump ## dump bios region
fpt -BIOS -F MOD ## flash bios region
I hope i helped you BDMaster!

No way, cpu won't work , after all my tests seems there is CPU Lock in ME region or something else.. Really weird situation..

[savvamitrofanov]

Okay i checked 2 clean me regions , first one from my laptop, and the second one from a660 toshiba which based also on phoenix secure core tiano
and i found that this two absolutely identical version regions have different in 4 bytes..

   
here me regions
PS: Dont flash it! I didn't cut the header of padding! Originally ME Region for hm55,hm57 should be 917kb!
