How's the release of BNOBTC version 6 coming?
Is there a program that will let you test AMI BIOS and let you view it?
Hey Borg,
Do you have a tool for editing the Asus P5WD2 Premium bios?
When I try to open my bios file I get the following windows error:
AMI BIOS Configuration Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
AppName: amibcp.exe AppVer: 2.43.2.0 ModName: amibcp.exe
ModVer: 2.43.2.0 Offset: 00016967
I'd like to change the default boot order for the hard drive controllers (eg. drives on the inbuilt ITE8211 controller to boot before drives on the Primary IDE controller).
Thanks
John
Borg Number One,
I'm having problems saving the changes in this bios.. I'd like the ddr366 divider and the ddr300 divider (which has no menu name.) I can change to selectable but it will not save. Could you mod it? Bios is as follows: 9nda3+
Hi borg i cant figure out how to use this program?
Can you help me to unlock evrything in the shuttle sn25p barebone bios they have put up a new one and it have fixes for raid but they have locked the fsb to 250mhz and i know there is many other things aswell.
thanks.
fn25s027.zip is the new one.
ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/BIOS/sn25p/
And can u fix the problem whit the boot logo and x1800xt and x1900xt gfx cards other mobo manufactors have done it but not shuttle
Hallo come on guys.
I am dying here!!
Bump
@all
Borg Number One is back. :)
Hi SnipingWaste.
There are new AMI programs to test the BIOS Setup Menu in AMIBIOS8 BIOS files.
But the programs are not really public yet...
Well, AMIBCP for Windows 2.xx is able to simulate some early AMIBIOS8 files.

Hi pee4
Because you also requested help via private message, I replied via private message.
Hi tdamocles
Tell me what you exactly did.
And tell me the problems which appear.
Hi Riska
Because there is also / already fn25s028.zip available, I would like to know, if I should check/modify the ...028 BIOS file or not.
PS:
Where is this picture from?
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ine=1140874596
Yes take the new bios
i dont know i found some were on the net... ss
Do you want it in full size?
Hey Borg welcome back !
You really need to make public these new AMI tools it would help tons of people with crippled BIOS
When are you planning to release them ?
So we are back to it again wait wait waiting....

If you are interested in using ROMOS or ATASX then I also can add both new features in your BIOS.
ATASX is a possibility to protect/close your hard disk drives with a password and to prevent un-authorized password setting commands.
ROMOS is an emergency operating system.

Thanks great but i need the 300mhz fsb as in all the old bioses
hi BNO!
could you check for me if there are any options to unhide in Abit NF8 BIOS:
http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/do.../nf8/nf817.exe
thanks in advance.
Can you take a look @ either bios 1.50 for asrock SataII or 04XX.bin.
LMK if there is a way to change mem divider's or maybe add vddim or other settings.
Hi Guys,
When i try to edit the Asus A8V Deluxe rev 2.0 bios on the AMIBCP it says - invalid row value after i chose the file i want to edit.
And using the DOS program - it says Checksum error - even if i try to check the bios on the CD. So it looks like it´s a kind of bug.
Anyone knows if there is anything hide on the asus a8v bios that can be unhide and moded? - Like a new firmware for the Promisse controler or anything related to this ?
Thanks in advance !
Hey Borg, I got "/Stack overflow!" while opening new DFI LANPARTY UT CFX3200-DR BIOS using MODBIN6 2.01.01, check it out.

There is also no problem to use your favorite photo/logo as your own BIOS boot splash screen.
Hi jonspd!
There are no more settings to unhide.
But doing following is recommend:
The more users write mails with wanted BIOS features to ASRock the better are the possibilities that ASRock will publish BIOS updates with more options/menus.
Hi wander_jarra,
Referring to Asus A8V Deluxe mainboard:
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=de-de
...and reffering to the BIOS 1018.001:
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...e/1018-001.zip
...there are no more Options to unhide.
Hi ReelMonza,
I already know that there are mainboards/BIOS files which have troubles with MODBIN6 2.01.01.
It seems to be that there are newer MODBIN6 versions, but because DFI's bad technical support I was not able to get a newer release of MODBIN6.
hi BNO, i got my hands on Modbin6 2.01.01 in the meantime so i checked it myself.Quote:

Glad to see you helping out so many folks here :toast: Maybe you can help me too.
I have a Foxconn NF4XK8MC(nforce4 4x) mobo with phoenix- awardbios 6.00PG - i tried modbin6 20101 - but frankly i am not sure what i can hide or unhide as my mobo is a budget mobo.
Also one strange thing i noticed in this demo image http://www.dstyles.de/bios/images/bo...abit-ic-7g.gif you posted is, i have identical setup except i dont have the "SoftMenu Setup" to adjust my Vcore & Vdimm without which my o/c is handicapped. So any help from you is appreciated, tell me if you need more info.
The bios file can be found here http://www.foxconnchannel.com/biosbase/NF4K8MC.zip. Thanks, looking forward for your reply.
Hi dipdude.
Referring to the NF4XK8MC BIOS, following modifications can be done:
Unhiding BIOS Setup Menus

Thanks for the quick reply Borg, yes i would like you to modify the bios(unhide all the settings & remove the logos) also i would love to have the ROMOS to the bios if it does not interfere with normal functioning of bios & if i dont have problems flashing back the bios integrated with ROMOS.
So please do modify the Bios - thanks for all the help - keep up the great work mate.
__________
PS : So i assume i would not have access to vdimm or vcore.
Hi dipdude,
1.)
I translated the file manager inside ROMOS to English, recompiled it and added ROMOS to the NF4XK8MC BIOS.
2.)
The fullscreen logo was removed.
3.)
No... there are/were no further VDIM related features to unhide.
4.)
Now, just your eMail address (via PM) is required to send your personal BIOS file to you. ;)
BNO,
There are about 4-5 of us over at OCF who would like your help. We are using the ASUS P4C800-E Dlx, bios 1024 beta, found here
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...X/1024-001.zip with a CT-479 Adaptor and a Dothan chip. We are trying to figure out if it is possible to change the FSB:DRAM ratio to 3:4 or 4:5, since our Dothans are starved for memory bandwidth at 1:1 . Please help us.
Many thanks.
Hi Maviryk,
the ASUS P4C800-E Dlx BIOS 1024 beta does not contain any further menus/options which could be unhide.
Well, in the manual and while simulation I could see that the ASUS P4C800 BIOS already has many DRAM and CPU related settings.
PS:
...it has a nice logo. :D
http://bnobtc.pix-art.com/images/bio...800-deluxe.png
Thanks for looking BNO.
That is quite unfortunate. It seems that we're only able to run the ram faster than the CPU when the FSB is below 200MHz then. At 200MHz and above we're stuck with a 1:1 divider.
I've heard of people flashing a P4P bios into the P4C (to get the better divider), but that will disable the onboard RAID since the P4P doesn't have them, which would not be good for me because I am running Raid0.
I appreciate your quick response.
Edit: Yes it does have a nice logo, but unfortunately I tweak my options so much I leave it disabled so that I see the boot screen.
Hi.

Do you think it is possible to bring back the PAT also? The P4C800 has the I865 chipset instead of the I875chipset. Anyhow, if you can make the changes I have a person with a bios flasher to test it out to see if it works correctly, if not he can physically flash it back.
Actually, looks like the P4P800-E Deluxe has a RAID controller, not sure if it is the same chip or not. Might be safer to replace it with the P4C800 version. P4P800-E Deluxe BIOS Version 1008 can be found at http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...X/P4P8E008.zip
Edit: We found a link that might help you BNO, I can't make heads or tails of it. Buy maybe it will help you.
http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/p4...33_mod_01.html
Hi.
The word: "this"
from the phrase: "If this should really work..." was related to your idea:
"flashing a P4P bios into the P4C"
So, if you can successfully flash the P4P BIOS file into the P4C FLASHROM and if the Mainbaord still boots, then I can bring back the RAID contoller BIOS from the original P4C BIOS file and put it into the P4P BIOS file.
BNO, the P4P800 bios WILL work in the P4C800. Mainboard will boot just fine as long as it is flashed properly including bootlock.
Mainly I'm concerned about the RAID drivers and PAT support.
Hi Maviryk,
1.)
Referring to the PAT support, maybe the already mentioned method could work for you too:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/p4...33_mod_01.html
2.)
Well, which (detailed) kind of modifications have been done with the BIOS file at all:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/p4...33_mod_02.html
-->P4PJEB.rom
What was modified in "Jeb's Upclock BIOS" at all?
What is/was the original BIOS revision/version referring to "Jeb's Upclock BIOS" ?
3.)
Referring to the "RAID drivers support" problem, both BIOS files
(P4C800 and P4P800) contain the same RAID Controller BIOS files/BIOS modules.
Just the network BOOTROM modules are differnt.
Vendor : Device ID -- Module/Extension-BIOS description
P4P8E008
8086:24DF -- Intel(R) RAID for SATA - v3.5.0.3003
11AB:4320 -- Yukon PXE BOOTROM
105A:3373 -- FastTrak 378 (tm) BIOS Version 1.00.0.37 -- 2003 Promise Technology, Inc.
P4C800-E-ASUS-Deluxe
8086:24DF -- Intel(R) RAID for SATA - v3.5.0.3003
8086:1019 -- Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.2.17.IBA GE Slot 0000 v1217.PXE 2.1 Build 083 (WfM 2.0)
105A:3373 -- FastTrak 378 (tm) BIOS Version 1.00.0.37 -- 2003 Promise Technology, Inc.
Hmm.. interesting. I don't know which version or what was modified in "Jeb's Upclock Bios". When I get home today I'll try the P4P800 EDLX BIOS and see what happens. Thanks.
For some reason I thought it was more complicated than flashing the P4C with a P4P bios.
O.o
i wanna modify my bios for my mobo but it's a bin and the mod bin don't give me volt options to change or anything ...
could you take a look at this older bios?
http://216.158.218.35/edoc/bios_uploads/6728v3A.zip
they took away memory voltages > 3v after introducing prescott support...i'm wondering if they're unlockable.
thanks.

hey maviryk, have you had any success with the bios flash of your board?
i'm also using a p4c800-e deluxe rev 2, 1023 bios w/ 3.0C & 4x512mb ocz 4400 gold modules (2.5-4-4-8)...my 100% prime95/memtest86 stable clock is 222MHz FSB and i'm also using the intel raid-0 (not the promise one)
sorry in advance for bombarding you with questions: did you face any issues with the raid after the flash? is PAT working at speeds > 200FSB? did you need to set the clock to any specific speed (ie: 201FSB) to flash?
lastly...i can't find any bios savior/second bios chip in my current location...it is my understanding that this mod is more complicated than a bios upgrade because there is no guarantee that the p4p bios will work on any given p4c800-e deluxe. would that be an accurate assessment? i'm still on the fence about trying the mod, but i would like to utilize the full potential of my RAMs so any help would be much appreciated.
cheers,
Borg Number One--
I'd wanted to try doing this myself, but I can't seem to find a link for your toolkit on your site (maybe I'm blind...). Anyway, you might be able to help with this a lot faster and more accurately than I could do it.
I have an IBM A20m notebook (model 2628-4UU) that I want to upgrade the CPU in. From what I've read on the IBM site, the A20m and A21p seem to share the same basic mobo, but the A20p could have up to a 1 GHz PIII CPU. The latest BIOS for the A20m has CPU microcode for a 0686 CPU (900 MHz) but not the code for an 068A (1 GHz). I wanted to add the 1 GHz code to my BIOS.
Here's a link for the latest A20m BIOS (only available on a utility to make a bootable 'flash' floppy):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...s/spsdiw59.exe
Here's a link for the latest A21p BIOS with the 068A microcode (same deal as above, 'flash' floppy):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...s/spsdky38.exe
(Note: The link for the "BIOS non-diskette" on each page seems to link to an executable file that wants to flash within Windows and doesn't produce separate BIOS files to work with.)
If this helps, I opened the A20m BIOS file with UltraEdit32 and found a string that identifies the BIOS as by Phoenix, but copyright for IBM.
Can you assist me with this problem, BNO? I'd really appreciate it!
hi BNO, i've been trying to open dell laptop bioses to move video support tables, but I havent been able to open them. what should I use?
Hi harbinger.
You are not blind ;).Quote:

Why?
1.)
I am currently re-building my homepage.
2.)
The number of BNOBTC v5 downloads has been increasing more and more.
This shows me that the BNOBTC and my BIOS modification services are really famous. :)
But all the time the persons (who used my free service and downloaded the BNOBTC) forgot that:
+ there are traffic costs
+ my motivations to provide free BIOS related service decreased more and more, because there never really were enough funds to finance the BNOBTC and BIOS modifications.
(Time is indeed money. Motivation is indeed money too.)
So, I temporary stopped the BNOBTC v5 download and I am currently really thinking about, if I should publish BNOBTC v6 at all.
All the persons, who downloaded the BNOBTC and/or got BIOS related technical support from me,
became more than lucky/happy and satisfied.
So, thousands of Windows and Linux users wrote replies, such as:
+ "Borg Number One, thank you very much for your support!!!! The motherboard firm(s) XXXXX could learn a lesson from you and your great BIOS related technical support."
+ "Hi Borg Number One, with your BIOS related support, I have no more problems with my mainboard anymore. Thanks."
+ "Hi Borg No. One, with the help of your modified BIOS, I will not be annoyed by a stupid BIOS splashlogo anymore and am able to see the P.O.S.T. screen too."
+ "Dear Borg, thank you for solving the CPU microcode error message while boot, thank you for unhide all the previously hidden BIOS Setup Menus and thank you for updating RAID controller ROM."
+ "Dear BNO, I am a linux user and using the DOS/Windows BIOS modification utilities is a little bit difficult. Many of them won't work with common DOS/Windows emulators.
Well, thank you very much for adding EtherBoot to my clients with AMI/Award/Phoenix BIOS."
+ etc...
But nearly nobody thought about making a donation.
Well, I like to provide BIOS related support and to help other users in hardware forums, and I want not to provide / I never wanted to provide this BIOS related technical service in a commercial way.
If I would do a commercial BIOS related support, then I would not be better than many current mainboard companies and OEM PC firms, which provide bad BIOS related technical support.
So, the only solution for:
+ keeping the BNOBTC homepage and BNOBTC archive available
+ further providing BIOS related technical support
+ increase the motivation to re-publish the BNOBTC
+ beginning with BIOS related experiments and research again
+ providing real-time desktop service
(for your problem(s) which may be hardly to describe, you can directly show me your computer related problem on your desktop or my desktop)
+ reducing traffic costs
...was to provide a possibility for a voluntary donation.
Now, everyone who understands the sense of the described facts, can make a voluntary donation here:
http://bnobtc.pix-art.com/donation
I can understand your predicament. Making such valuable services (and your time) available in any tech-related area can quickly expand to take up your entire life. That's why I don't fix other people's computers anymore. :)Quote:

Then when you find what seems to be a downloadable solution to your needs, you find the site's been pulled because too many people before you pumped the well dry and didn't leave anything for anyone else. It's been my unfortunate experience with 'shareware' authors that, once you give, updates never come anymore or the author decides to pack it in and you're stuck. That's why I stopped buying shareware a long time ago.
I do hope that others who've taken your time and expertise in the past will chip in something to help compensate you. For now, I'll have to content myself with trying to find a downloadable copy of the last version of BNOBTC...if not, I guess I'll give up the project or settle for a boost to 900 MHz from 600 and be done with it.
Thanks for your reply.
...I suppose I should have also asked this question. No one else has thought to, I guess... :)
IF someone were to contribute, would you send them a special download link to get the last available version of BNOBTC? There'd be no reason for them to contribute anything unless they were to receive something in return, you know...
!!!
...it would appear that BorgNumberOne has left the building. :(
Does anyone have an alternate download link for the last version (5) of the BNOBTC, or could you send it via email? Since he was not asking for contributions at the time the project was available, I don't think it's out of place to ask someone to share. (If it were the non-released version 6 I couldn't do that with a clear conscience.)
Hey BNO
I have a BIOS for a notebook named Vega M31 (danish firm), and i'ld like to unhide some OC features other than the build ind "high performance mode" wich OCs it by 4%. I would like to do it myself if you don't have time yourself, but I can't find ANY place to download Your package of tools or any of the tools seperately.
For info it's an AMI bios.
Please, please help me BorgNumberOne!

Borg Number One
If your still around and get a chance, can you check this Phoenix BIOS for any possible options that can be unhidden?
Toshiba P15-S409 V2.0 BIOS
Many Thanks.
Guys,
If you read his last post several pages back, he flipped us off and told us that he wasn't going to help anyone else unless we sent him money. Too many others downloaded his utilities and got his help with BIOS mods without giving him any ca$h to help defray his expenses. Not that he ever actively sought that help, or made it easy for people to do so...
Now, the way he did this was dumb, IMHO. Why? In his post, he seemed to rip all the other people a new one because nobody helped him. If he'd said, "Sure, I can help you and I'll send a link to d/l my software if you'll send a donation my way," I'd have done that. Instead he asked for money without any promise of help or a download link.
I think he took his toys and went home in a snit. It's a d@mn shame as he seemed to know what he was doing and the community could use his help, but we don't need people with an attitude.
Can anyone send the rar to me? all sites now just d/l a 2k file asking for donation. I can't find it in torrents/ed2k/rapidshare. thanks
I have a pure Phoenix BIOS (I think) from a m7680n computer. I can't get it to boot (blank screen) with the Lava PCI 650 Serial card.
I'd like the file also. TIA!Quote:

BNO, thanks for your help and I understand both wanting to maintain your principles and loss of interest, but a pay to download link would be helpful in itself. Your interest may have faded, but alot of us still seek help and understand hosting costs money. Bring it back! :)
Now looking for the latest AMI bios editor, if anyone can provide...
Mmm...sometimes you need a person with a bit of attitude, as more often than not so many are willing to just take everything on offer for free, but when the time comes to give something small back, those same guys want to crappola in their pantsQuote:

I am fully willing to pay for his ongoing support, and I am pretty sure once you donate to his link, you will receive latest Bios Toolkit.
PM him and ask him, the best way.
If you want the tools bad enough, you will at least be willing to donate - let's support these Specialists, guys.
Is Borg still active here ?! :D
I could give some one the Ver. 5 of the "bnobtc" , but i wont do this if BORG say NO to this :D
I really hope there will be some new tools in near future :(
I haven't seen him post anywhere for a while now. If you decide to make your copy of the tools available, I'm sure there might be somewhere that could host them for multiple downloaders.Quote:

Personally, I'd love to send him a little money in exchange for a valid download link. I even asked in several messages here as well as PMs but he wouldn't answer the question. So, I'm not about to blindly send $ without an assurance I'd get them. Now, if someone sends me a good copy, I'll go ahead and send him a donation just on principle--even if he never makes v6 available. That's the only right thing to do.
No offense to Borg, but he can't prevent people from sharing those tools. He may have helped lots of people, and gathered all the tools together, but he didn't write those programs, so he has no right to prevent people from sharing them. If he no longer wishes to help people, that is his choice. Don't let his decision not to help others affect your own.
Edit: Happy bios editing: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HTKF7FLO (If mods think this is unethical in anyway, feel free to remove. In simplest terms, it's just a collection of tools already out there.)

"IDA Pro Free 4.3" is free. No charge. Use Google....
See: Pinczakko's Guide to Award BIOS Reverse Engineering
Thank you!
There are several editions of IDA Pro version 4.3. There is freeware edition (shown above), this version only supports x86 and it doesn't support IDA Pro plugin, only IDA Pro scripts. There is standard edition, that supports plugins and some other processor architectures beside x86 (IIRC). There is advanced edition that comes with the IDA Pro plugin SDK and 50 (or so) processor architectures support. IIRC, the standard edition costs around U$500, the advanced edition cost more. The freeware edition is ofcourse free, but I found out the free edition is enough for semiautomatic BIOS disassembly tasks.Quote:
