Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Heres how to flash the modded hp bioses that you will find on this forum. Some already have all the required files but if your bios is just a single .rom file then follow these instructions to flash the modded one.

1. Download Original Update From HP, Save it to Desktop

2. Press next , accept the license agreeement , wait for it to extract , click ok and then STOP when tyou get the message "THIS UTILITY WILL UPDATE YOUR BIOS" and the options of YES , NO , or CANCEL. Leave this window open but do not click anything!

3. Click Start , go to Run and type %TEMP% to open the temp folder

4. Now look for a folder ending in .tmp , when i was making these instructions my temp folder was called pft8845.tmp but it may be different for you. In this folder you will find several files , which is what the HP installer extracted. There is a .rom file (315.rom) which is the original HP bios. There is also the flashing utility and instructions. Now , delete the 315.rom from this folder.

5. Copy and paste my modded bios file (the .rom file) and paste it into this folder and rename to the original file (315.rom in this example)

6. Go back to the bios update progrma , click yes , let it update and restart the computer!

Enjoy!

But if your HP bios is a BIN file then you can use awdflash in DOS. If you know how to extract EXE's from the original setup, then you can also place the modded bios there.
