[nobre]

Good morning.



I see that every problem is already solved by ReelMonza.


That is fine, but "ReelMonza"="Borg Number One"?
I do not believe so.

;p it was directed to you at first, but Reel was faster on this one
Thanks anyway for the links on your first post, I finally got a Modbin version that would read my bios menu's correctly

[[cTx]Philosophy]

Any luck with unlocking the vcore & vdimm lock on Asrock dual SATA II 939?
If so ill promote this app on every forum im a member of, and will do my best to spread the word about such a wonderful app :P with ownage support and updates as being shown here...

Hi.
Like almost all ASRock mainboards, this ASRock board and its BIOS cannot be modified anymore.
I just can add/remove/update BIOS Logo screens, network boot roms or (S)ATA BIOS ROMs on these boards.

[BigBadBogus]

Hi.

Now I am able to modify the BIOS Setup Menue and to unhide new features/options in both BIOS files:

- Abit AS8
- Albatron KX18DS Pro


If you were still interested in BIOS modification at all then let me know.

Hello,

I am searching for a solution to mod the albatron bios.

Could you please let me know how you did it finally.
I also get error messages while trying to load the orig.bios.bin

thx a lot

Hi.

Old MODBIN6 releases can not open new* Phoenix - AwardBIOS files even the mentioned/quoted mainboards and their BIOS files crash old MODBIN6 releases.

So, only new MODBIN6 releases (e.g. 2.01.01 (06/25)) are able to open such BIOS files.

However, the mentioned Albatron BIOS file does not have any further option to unhide except:

+ IDE Channel 3 Slave (including sub options)
+ CPU Thermal-Throttling
+ MAC Media Interface
+ ACPI function
+ CPU Warning Temperature
+ Shutdown Temperature


If you still interested in getting the latest available/known MODBIN6 release then just let me know.


To run modbin without problems in Windows 2000/XP/9x check these threads:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=63210


*=MODBIN6 versions can open "Phoenix - AwardBIOS" files, but there seems to be "new" kind of "Phoenix - AwardBIOS" files.
Do not ask me, how "new" the mentioned BIOS files are/have to be
that they cannot be opened with old MODBIN6 releases anymore.

If you can figure out the characteristics of the new Phoenix - AwardBIOS files then let me know.

[BigBadBogus]

Hello,

thank you for the quick answer.

Where can I get MODBIN6 2.01.01
I tried to open it with the MODBIN6 2.00.00.......no chance

If there are no more possibilities to hide/unhide BIOS-options,
anyhow I'd like to trie to modifie the text and structure in BIOS-screen

thx

Hi.

1.)
"BTW bin auch deutsch"

I know that you come from Germany, you also wrote a private message in German.

But your simple phrase (mentioned/quoted above) shows that your German skills/knowledges are not really good.

Mixing German words/phrases with English words/phrases is a signal for not really smart and intelligent persons.

2.)
Reffering to your private message, I will send the latest MODBIN release to your eMail adress.

Hi all,

I have a question!
I have an asus a7n8x-xe mobo it is a nice board but lack's the capability to change the vcore or multiplier. Now here's the question how can I unhide these options assuming they are there. I tried to make a backup. Bin file with aflash but with out any luck . The original asus bios files are .rom files.
Maybe I doing things wrong could somebody give me some advice so I can check if there are any hidden options which I can unhide?
What tool do I need to look "inside" the bios (asus) file. I tried Tmod's BiosMod v3.6 - Awdflash6 etc but witch out any result

Thanks

[ReelMonza]

Borg, do you have a working tool for present AMI BIOSes ?

[Borg Number One]

Yes.

[ReelMonza]

Wow, that was fast m8 !

I can't find it in your page, can you please send it to me ?

EDIT: I browsed some files here :

http://www.dstyles.de/bios/bnobtc-fi.../amibcp-amimm/

[balthazor]

I downloaded amibcp and get this error Invalid row value.
Borg number one Is ther a guide somwhere how to use this tool? I know I am an noob

[Borg Number One]

Hi.


Just let me know, which BIOS file and what you want to modify.

[balthazor]

that's a lightning fast reply '

Its the asus 0204 file ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socka...8x-xe/0204.zip
I sure hope the vcore /vdimm options are hidden otherwise no oc for me

Thanks alot

[Borg Number One]

Hi.

Sorry, like in many other AMIBIOS8 files, in the current Asus A7N8X-XE BIOS file there are no further options/menus to unhide.


You just can use software/utilities to change voltage settings.

[balthazor]

Thanks for all the help m8

I will look for other options besides the bios

Quote "You just can use software/utilities to change voltage settings."

That's the problem if the bios does not have this option. Tools like clockgen or 8rdavcore-0.8.8-dev8 will not let you change anything because these settings are not available

I'll keep you posted

So what tool can I use to extract modules from recent AMIBIOS8 files ?

[Borg Number One]

So what tool can I use to extract modules from recent AMIBIOS8 files ?

... a currently not really public American Megatrends utility.

Borg do u know of any bios flashing utilities that will hotflash a lanparty nforce 2 from an an35 ultra.Ive had success with hotflashing from same board.Sry a little off topic,but search led me here.

[ReelMonza]

Try Winflash 1.54 (it has to be this version) so you can hotswap inside XP (EEPROMs must be the same)

[chester]

[chester]

[chester]

[ReelMonza]

Yes, chips must be equal and you made sure it is actually version 1.54 ?

EDIT: I just found out that your Shuttle board uses 2Mbit EEPROM while DFI uses 4Mbit, so they're different and you won't be able to hotflash.
