[REQUEST] HP Pavilion dv8-1100 series BIOS Unlock

[camiloml]

There's no option rom for that device ID in the bios, that's why it doesn't work.

I have removed the external vga option rom, and added a RAID option rom with tweaked device id to match your hardware.

Don't know the results it can produce, test it if you want and are brave enough. Theorically it should work. I would test on my own laptop if i had it.

If i Exchanged with the correct vga bios i think it must be safe enough. If not we can always take the recovery way

It all depends on how much you want the raid mode working.

sounds cool, appreciate the help.. because u have really helped me and trying i will donate a few bucks and see if i can get others to do so as well.

still the same results , exactly as before.. perhaps adding the entire array of ide options might work?

Did you see the RAID rom pop on boot when you boot in raid mode?

And if you boot in ahci mode? Do you see ahci rom booting?

nope.. same as before.. to make sure, i just updated the bios again with the latest file u sent.. I did it inside windows though... is there another way u want me to update the bios?

and booting in AHCI mode? do you see bios working, detecting units and saying "AHCI bios installed!"

no.. im a+ computer tech, so trust me, i know what you mean with that... my desktop is a gigabyte ud7 with all the stuff u are talking about... intel raid rom bios and achi bios

So... interesting...

Booting in AHCI mode does not launch either the option rom bios that is present, ...

Boot again the ubuntu but in ahci mode and paste lspci result. the one with sudo and grep
