Thank.

Hi, I need the whitelist removal MOD for an HP PAVILION ZV6278EA (AMD).

You can find The last Original BiOS F.1B here: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31501-32000/sp31533.exe

The only tutorial I found about WHITELIST REMOVAL WAYS is related to the "InSYde BIOS".

I just tried bymyself to apply a removal patch onto an original bios, I did it for an zv5000 amd CPU F.35) and the problem was that I found a lot of "104 U" texts and about 3 "MZ" txt points.
Anyway I tried to compose a rom file concatenating the modules in the same order that they were extracted, but reading the tutorial I had to find the "MZ" string before the "104 U". In this way all the "MZ" are AFTER all the "104 U" strings so I can't understand which is the correct "MZ" point...
I wasted a lot of time to try and it is right that it needed time to obtain something, but I would Ask to you to suggest the way to find the right point where to change the rom immage in the case you won't have time to make the patch for me.

I found an example of a working patch for another notebook ZV5000 but Intel CPU win F.45 bios, I succesfully patched it with a patched rom F.45 by camilioml, so I took a look into that modified bios and compared it with the original BIOS. I found that He modified directly the compressed rom, but I wasn't able to understand the way He used to add some "90" hex on the original BIOS to bypass the WLAN check.

Thanks in advance

I know this is kind of a graveyard digging but I have a Compaq R4000 that is the same as the ZV6000 (uses the same bios file). I guess it's never too late to upgrade these machines, especially now that Wifi has changed for the best.

The laptop comes with a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN

The PCI ID is:

PCI/VEN_14E4&DEV_4318&SUBSYS_1355103C
