Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hi

I tried to remove the WWAN whitelist check from this bios with not success:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54174.exe

And'y's Tool v1.91 seems to be able to decompress the image.

(HP Probook 5330m / 68SFF Bios)

I tried to follow the guide found here:
http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Ge...OS?page=14

I also found the mentionned error text ("Wireless module not supported") in this file:
7367B3B6-DAAF-4A23-9287-373F47FA2BCB_3_23.ROM:

HEX:
..."57 00 69 00 72 00 65 00 6c 00 65 00 73 00 73 00
20 00 4d 00 6f 00 64 00 75 00 6c 00 65 00 20 00
6e 00 6f 00 74 00 20 00 73 00 75 00 70 00 70 00
6f 00 72 00 74 00 65 00 64 00 00"...

Unfortunately, this file doesn't have the mentioned <<0F 88>> JMP inside. Any idea?

Edit: according hp's site, the supported WWAN Module is un2430. I don'r own this module, but found the following Device id:
"USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x371d)}, /* HP un2430 Mobile Broadband Module */"

Don't think your probook accepts the modded bios, but it's just a matter of trying, maybe you have luck.

Wow that was fast!

The good: I was able to flash after dropping the HP_TOOLS Partition.
The bad: Blank screen and the CapsLock led blinks. So I'm going to search for a USB stick :->

I will prepare recover stick for you, don't worry.

uncompress it over a blank fat32 formatted pendrive respecting folder structure.

Remove battery and ac cord from laptop.

Plug usb stick into usb port.

Press and hold Win+B keys, connect AC cord (not battery) and press power on, keep holding Win+b keys for 10 seconds.

You will see USB activity, just wait and laptop will reboot in perfect state itself.

Hi camiloml

Tried as suggested but no luck so far. I can see yome USB activity for a few seconds and that's it. The screen remains black and CapsLock is blinking...

ooops my fault.

rename the files in the Current folder, and name

Rom.bin -> 68SFF.BIN
Rom.sig -> 68SFF.SIG

and try again with win+b.

hello!

as i own the same notebook and would like to replace the standard broadcom 4313gn 14e4:4727 with a centrino-n 6300 i would like to offer my assistance (if possible). so far i should have all necessary tools together and tried to locate the whitelist, but without luck (propably due to my lack of experience with this kind of stuff).

is there anything i could do to increase the chances for a whitelist-free bios?

regards,
andy

Sorry, theres no chance right now to mod that bios, it will end up in a brick.

That was it - my computer is personal again :->
I'm ready to brick my notebook with another bios patch ;-)

thanks for the fast reply.
any chance to edit the whitelist table to replace the pci ids? how are the ids usually stored? i already searched for 14e4 hex but without success.
