[REQUEST] Toshiba Satellite C655D BIOS unlock

[BDMaster]

Go into Bios Mod folder and edit file Platform.ini modifing Flag=1 to Flasg=0 then save and retry !

[Bios_Version_Check]
Flag=1 ******************* to Flag=0 ***********************
;This flag is the switch of checking BIOS version.
;Flag default : 2.
; 0 : Don't check rom file version.
; 1 : Check BIOS version.
; When rom file version is older then BIOS, it will display
; a warning message and close application.
; 2 : Depend on BIOS report.

Let me know
Regards

P.S. Into the Setuputility EFI IFR file I cannot find VT-d or VT-x so look by yourself as It seems there isn't this possibility !

@BDmaster, Thanks!

Regarding virtualization there has been a plan on the table for some time to deploy Virtualized desktops via
a key system. (In the Ed Snowden arena.) See business plan here. www.catalystlightwave.com.

Not being a programmer with linux installed I am assuming to download file open it with correct
editor find variable change to "True" and save correctly, that kind of thing?
However if line does not exist adding it could brick device.
So not worth the risk?


@ cookie this previous thread went through the same issues for a similiar C655d

https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-t...655D-S5200

with no luck. It Includes file that will downgrade your BIos to 1.4.
However I think he meant to download open and look for variable, not install.
(Am I correct BDMASTER)
Went bankrupt doing the Catalyst Lightwave thing so cannot afford new hardware either.

However very Happy running Ubuntu as host with VMWARE windows 7 when I need windows.

Thanks again BDMASTER!

error code 0xc0000225. backgrounds blue but it does it during startup so i dont think its a blue screen. also it wont let me boot off of USB. i can boot off disc though.

[Cookie_505]

also i tried to flash the BIOS with a disc installer from toshiba. says fadt not found.

[Cookie_505]

oh yeah and i have an ubuntu disc so if you have a linux bios flasher i can flash my old BIOS. i have it backed up via the network on another computer.

[Cookie_505]

one last thing. what i have gathered is that this is a problem with acpi. I tried putting it on compatibility. didnt work. But my windows disk also wont work i think because of that.

[BDMaster]

I just have seen hundred cases like this and it cause Always same problem !
Anyone has to recover and get old Bios and Windows !
