[REQUEST] HP Pavilion dm4-2000 & dm4-2100 series Whitelist Removal

[ozzynyc]

Hey guys, the older bios on HP Pavilion dm4-2070us was modified by the gurus and wifi whitelist was removed. However, HP released a new bios fixing the infamous issue with the keyboard (typing was always cutting off letters due to slow response from the keyboard). I'm using intel wifi 6205 card that's not supported by the original bios. PLEASE remove the wifi whitelist from the new BIOS located here: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55454.exe . Many thanks!

I guess a reply within 24 hours is not always a guarantee If someone could help the brother out, it would make my X-mass Many thanks and happy holidays!

Extracted to a folder, ran the exe, it failed in the middle of flash with "Write error" quickly showing on the screen and then exited. Nothing happened Then i was brave enough to run the original bios update knowing that it will disable my wifi but luckily that one showed the same error... I wonder if it's due to flashing over the modified bios that you modified in the summer. Many thanks!!!

Can't believe that people still makes their life difficult by extracting the content to a folder and bla bla...

When the easiest thing is just run the EXE and let it do.

I will have a look at it when i'm at home and have some time. Don't desperate

Any updates? I had my friend with a BRAND new laptop flash this one as well and it flashed successfully in windows and then when it rebooted, it also not posting, just CAPS Locks flashing....We now have 2 dead laptops! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Unmount the hp HDD

connect it to another computer
download this restore file Restore-f14

copy the restore directory content to the HP_TOOLS partition into :

HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\

and copy restore directory content into the root of the HP_TOOLS

eject the hdd

put it insyde the hp

remove battery

input the power cable

press windows key + b and keep it pressed then press quickly power

release windows + b after 10 sec

wait

Worked fine in my hp dm4 2060sf

I had to reflash the bios after that with the latest update to get back the wifi recognition.

Would love for this to be released as well. I'm still on the old firmware. Thanks!

Bump.

I have a DM4-2180us currently flashed with stock F.14 (SP55454.exe) and was hoping to find a whitelisted version of this BIOS.

Can anyone confirm that this file is working or can I request that it be whitelisted again?

Thanks!
