[Removed!! rompaq bios] Request for Whitelist Removal HP Mini 2140

[camiloml]

I'm happy you managed to bring it back to life.

Try now that you have recovery method to flash it with the third patched hpqflash.

If it bricks again i will try to make new mod for you

[kabaret]

the third option wont work either - flashing dont even started, first time it showed something like "irreversible error something something", second time "could not load the driver". Im willing to try more.

[kabaret]

this is the info I got on the other forum (MDL):
"Your bios is a rompaq bios. Impossible to mod with every known method.

Is that true?

[camiloml]

Well, maybe yes, but if you want we can continue trying.

[camiloml]

Maybe i'm not able to remove the whitelist check, but maybe i can add the PCI ID of your new card, please post it

[camiloml]

Maybe maybe ... this time it works, find file in second HERE of my signature to try again

This one will work

[kabaret]

unfortunately still nothing - this time even the second hpqflash wont flash the bios.

first hpqflash (translated from polish): "BIOS image is corrupted or lacks proper digital signature"

second hpqflash (hpqflash_4.30.10.2): "Impossible to read informations about BIOS version from CAB file"

third hpqflash go two steps more than the previous ones but still stops on the "irreversible error" (0xFA (IOCT_FAILED)

I can paste the logs, If Youd like to. Still have hope

edit: unfortunalety I wont be able to tell You the new card PCI ID, its impossible to mount the card while pc is running - its on the inside side of the motherboard, I have to dismantle it completely. But I can put the card to my regular laptop and check it, but I have no idea if it is the same then or not

[camiloml]

Ok that seems my fault recreating the ROM.CAB file.

I will recreate again and upload.

Uploaded FIXED version, download and test

thanks for trying, this time I managed to flash the bios but it killed my mini just like the one before. fortunately the recovering procedure works maybe You`ll try with this bios:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43501-44000/sp43583.exe

its the one that Im recovering and it seems its a bit diffferent (its F.03 i guess).

thank You!

[camiloml]

Try to flash this last one using the recovery process instead of patched hpqflash to see if it makes difference. Also try flashing that f03 using the patched hpqflash to see if we find the responsible of bricking your mini.
