The computer is based on xp embedded

The bios has some functions cripled / removed, it can only boot on the CF card nothing else, the CF card is an industrial APACER 4gb

Even the battery removed, no access
With an stuck keyboard key while booting, no access
The clear cmos is only resetting the clock
No del keys or any Function keys works.
With the CF card removed, no selection appears


This bios backup was made with winflash and the other with Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0 from the working computer, i managed to flash a wrong bios and stalled another computer loll

And ive included an aec-6611 bios, who should bear some ressemblances, it supposed to be based on the same board, ... seems so with the manual

I wanted to know how they did it or what or wich section they modded to add to my poor bios knowledge ..

OH EDIT: while trying to update the bios, some Winflash versions are asking the customer ID ???, i cant recall wich version i have who did not ask that and flashed right away and stalled the other one

thks

Well paid for an bios file at : https://bioshelp.com/aaeon-aec-6822-bios.html?highlight=aec
File is not the same size ? not sur if its a zip or do i have to rename it, tried with modbin and cbrom to list bios modules and doesnt work

@coromonadalix - If BIOS is in zip it will have .zip extension Probably they sent you wrong BIOS, or possibly they sent you full BIOS and you only made dump of BIOS region
Please put into single zip file, the original dump you made, and the BIOS you just paid for, I will check them and see if similar or for same model or not
Do not include BIOS from 106, I don't want "Should be same" or "Similar" etc. Only the dump you made, and the BIOS you purchased.

Have you removed CF card (First), then cleared CMOS, then started system with no HDD/CF etc, what do you see on screen then?

Yes, it's possible universal BIOS backup toolkit isn't dumping BIOS on this system, or maybe not all BIOS etc.
On a properly working system, dump BIOS with Universal BIOS toolkit, AND Winflash, and send me that as well (In seperate folder at least, so I know this is what I requested here and not above)

okay

The paid bios AEC-6822 is the newest ive paid for, trying to resolve or get a new download without paying, simply renamed the zip file into bin file

The others where made with Winflash from the working computer acces but has the crippled bios running

And the: PhoenixTechnologies,LTD-6.00PG.rom i cant recall witch version i used to make it, maybe done with Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0

I have Winflash versions 1.76, 1.90, 1.94

I'll try to order an eeprom surface mount clip to try a direct bios reprogram on the stalled/bricked board, but may take a while to get it :( I have powerful programmers on hand ...


All the other files where HEX compared against the other and they are identicals ?? not the paid one

thks

oops sent too many files sorry

As i wrote earlier, the clear comos will only reset the clock, nothing else will happen, with an removed card, the computer wont boot ... and i still cant invoke the bios

oh just received 2 files thru skype with the seller ill pm you later have to go work

they are 4mb in size each ??? and rom extension

version 10 and 13 ???
A822AM10.rom
A822AM13.rom

ill sent you private link later
thks

Hello all
Just registed in this awesome community
I have an old but perfectly working Amd AM2 Gigabyte mainboard, manifactured in 2007, last bios update was in november 2009
I would like to update the award bios of this one.
1) In this moment the last AGESA is 3.3.2.7 that should support only phenom II x4 (now it is fully working with a phenom 955 X4 C3 95w TDP), but updating it with the last? 3.7.1.2 it could accept phenom II x6 95w.
2) The raid rom is updated to a very old version (2.5xxxx) that isn't supported by Windows 10 in raid mode, it could be updated to the last version: 3.2.1540.6 that can work with win10.
3) Some voices of the menus are hidden, for example Dram voltage regulation, I would like to make them visible.

The point is: I never modded a bios before, obviously I have the last bios, read some online guides but I don't have idea how to add the updates to a modded rom and check it, also because I know that the bios awards are rather difficult to modify on the old gigabytes.

Can someone direct me how to do it?

Last bios is: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/B...9vm-s2_f10e.exe
M/B model is: GA-MA69VM-S2 REV 1.0

Thanks in advance

Hello all

I read some guides in order to try to update the bios modules, these are the steps that I do, please correct me if i'm wrong in some step

1: From original last bios version I have opened the file via cbrom 1.55
2:Then Always using cbrom i have extracted the Agesa module in order to analyze it with an hex editor, then I established that the version is outdated and don't support phenom X6 cpus
3:I extracted from another motherboard bios the last agesa module for X6 cpu support
4:Using cbrom i erased the old Agesa module and i insert the new one
I have some question about this:
A)Do I have to change only the agesa module o I have to update some other module (ex.NCPUCODE) to allow the CPU to be recognized?
C)The order of modules is mandatory when I put them inside or can be switched?

Thanks in advance

As a follow up on my Aaeon-6822 computer

Managed to get the AEC-6611 bios, it use the same gene-9455 board, flashed into my board, the computer restart fine, but its missing the lpt port in the bios, the AEC-6611 doesn't have the lpt option, i can live with that.

No AEC-6622 bios seem available from Aaeon because many AEC-6622 are used for sales reports modules (revenu agency), their bios is heavily crippled and they will only boot on th CF card ??? ... you have to find an genuine gene-9455 board, do a bios backup and flash it in the computer, I wont pay 150$ usd for a board ??

After lots of reading

Tried to hack the board info from Aec-6811 to Aec-6822, Modbin6 2.04.03 does the mod, and save the bios, but once flashed the computer will not boot ??? if i re-flash the unmodified Aec-6811 everything is normal again ??

Would be nice to find where are the rs232 ports and the lpt modules are.

With the original crippled AEC-6822 computer backed bios i did an cbrom comparaison, there are 4 missing "group rom" bios modules, and 4 compressed files sizes differences
in xgroup
in acpi
in group rom 0
in setup 0

Last update
I took the AEC-6611 bios (since its based on the same gene-9455 board)

Changed thru modbin the bios message
Finally found out where the lpt option was located, changed to enabled and set to 278 adress

And voila ! an working "non crippled" board

Well almost : with physically removed options like the lvds ports/plugs, lvds driver ic, mini pci connector and the sata plug (may try to add this one, i have pcb sata plugs)

Guys, how to use CBROM198 to squeeze with an orom so that then they would be inserted through the HxD editor.

You may be asked to update the Phoenix BIOS.

I'm have a bios backup with the help of the universal bios bachkup toolkit 2.0 program. My laptop is Lenovo Tninkpad 14 (E40) type 0578-A19 (Motherboard chipset: Intel Ibex Peak-M HM55, Intel Ironlake-M). I'm replaced the processor (i3 330m -> i7 840qm (cpuid: 106E5)) and the laptop starts, but there is an error of BSOD 0x000000a5 (BIOS is not ACPI). I'm think you need to update the microcode in the BIOS. I'm sticking a link to the BIOS and the microcodes that I would like to update in the BIOS. microcodes that I would like to update (cpuid): 20652 and 106E5.
Could you help me?
P.S. I didn’t succeed in updating via sbrom (ver. 1.55 and older version), maybe you can help me if you are not difficult or tell me how to do it.

There are two bios backup through winphlash64 and the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0. I'm don’t know how they differ, but the sizes are different for these BIOS backups.

BIOS type: Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.1

CBROM:


MC Extractor:


Phoenix BIOS editor pro 2.2.1.3 build 3605 cannot open these backups either.

Phoenix BIOS editor pro - open file LENOVO-80ET65WW(2.05).rom:


Phoenix BIOS editor pro - open file FLASHABL.rom:


Thank you for any help!

The application for Windows Phoenix BIOS Editor has an easy interface for modifying PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Rel. 6 and then there will be no need to reinstall the BIOS later.
It supports unpacking, replacing, and repacking of components within a BIOS image, and allows changing of settings and modifies the application to the actual BIOS itself.

Verified version Phoenix BIOS Editor

I searched all over the Internet to find this program with the least number of threats, if in doubt, you can see for yourself.

Hello!
I want to show how to boot the system from an NVMe disk on AWARD Bios without using Clover and other means.
I have an old GIGABYTE EP45DS3P motherboard and want to boot from an NVMe drive. After installing an NVMe drive, through an adapter, it will work in an environment such as Windows.
And if you go to Bios Advanced BIOS Features - Hard Disk Boot Priority, Award bios does not see our disk. In order for bios to see our disk, OpROM from Samsung 950 Pro SSD comes to our aid.
https://gofile.io/d/3T2lZA
First you need to find out the VEN and DEV of our disk. For example, my Adata legend 750 has VEN 1CC1 DEV612A.
Open 950Pro.bin in the editor and edit the line at offset 00000020.
It looks like this for me, C1 1C 2A 61, after which you need to edit the last byte so that the checksum is "00".
Next, we make changes to our Bios using cbrom195.exe with the command, cbrom195.exe EP45DS3P.F9c /pci 950Pro.bin

After flashing the BIOS, an NVMe disk appears in the Advanced BIOS Features - Hard Disk Boot Priority section.
You can install the system.

Fernando, please correct my post if something is not clear.
