Hello Sml6397,

in your last post, you had asked me "Do the 'SysInfo' and 'Advanced' Menus show up?", yes, are showing, if you have not seen my previous post I posted pictures of these menus.

Hello diegomainster,

I have started work on your BIOS mod today (It should be complete some time today). Do the 'SysInfo' and 'Advanced' Menus show up? If they do, then the BIOS mod is nearly complete. I just have to map the SysInfo Menu (PBE will not emulate it) and upgrade it.

Hello, I'm having a similar problem. My BIOS is not showing the needed features and is the same version as posted here.

I wish to be able to increase DDR speed or CPU voltage, since those options are normally included in midtower BIOSes.
In my case I installed 2 DDR3 1333 Mhz but it's detecting them as 1066 Mhz.

In case you manage to unlock some of the menues of this Phoenix BIOS I will be happy to test it.

What an amazing site by the way, I have some limited assembly language, could learn and do some basic modding if I were more familiar with BIOSes. My skills are mainly with small microprocessors, started back in the age of Z80 and spent several years coding PICs.

I forgot to mention my hardware is a:
Samsung RV411-04A - updated to 07A BIOS
exactly same screenshots as shown by diegomainster

Hardware: Intel P6200 which was upgraded with an Intel Core i5 560M
4 GB RAM DDR3 1333Mhz (had to upgrade Windows 7 to Home Premium for the RAM to be usable)
Intel HD Graphics (which cannot be overclocked by any software except BIOS).

Tried different FSB software with no luck, as I don't seem to find the correct PLC.

BTW Intel HD Graphics is using around 600 MB of RAM which is too much.
I would like to be able to adjust this if possible.

Hello diegomainster & pzacheo,

Sorry for the long delay, I lost track of this thread.

I will release the BIOS mod within 20 minutes from now

Hello diegomainster & pzacheo,

The BIOS mod is complete! The BIOS archive can be found at this bottom of this post.

I have disabled the "hiding" functions on all of the existing parent menus.

Generic Warnings/Disclaimers:

Please remember to take proper precautions when flashing your BIOS. Even if the BIOS image is safe, the flashing process can still fail. Make sure that [if applicable] your notebook is fully charged (100%), that the power adapter is properly connected, and that the chance of a power outage occurring is as minimal as possible. Do not interrupt the flashing process. If possible, it is a good idea to have a working CRISIS recovery disk handy when flashing your BIOS. Use the flashing instructions for your particular computer brand. DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNNECESSARY!!!

I take absolutely NO responsibility for ANY damages that may occur to you, your computer, your personal belongings, your neighbor's cat, or any other personnel or equipment as a direct or indirect result or consequence of your, or any one else's, use or misuse of any of the files that are in this archive at the present or at any time in the past or the future. You assume full responsibility for any damages or inconveniences that may occur by choosing to flash, or otherwise use or misuse, this image or any of the other files within this archive.

Have fun!  

Please remember to post the results of the BIOS flash!

Sorry for the delay in responding, I saw your post yesterday. I tried to test but gives an error when try to write the bios: "Platform Signature Not Found in the interface.".




I followed this tutorial: BIOS Update

Any luck?

Hey, im new on the forum, and honestly a join mostly beacause of this thread. So, long story short.. I want to know if you could re-upload this bios, beacause as the user diegomainster has said, the one you upload is giving the following error: "Platform Signature Not Found in the interface."

Thks in advance!
