I'm not sure about the card but i have tried another one, same problem, Black screen, pc hanged no boot

Then, no way both are dead! Lets try another edit instead! Give me a few to decide

Theses card was pulled off working machines... If they are dead the pc should boot no ?

I can test them on another pc... i will try.

Yes, PC Should boot if dead (usually), sometimes dead hardware can cause non boot though, that's why I asked if you knew they are working or not. Were they working on the machine you pulled them off of, if yes then they probably still work.

Can you put them in to something they do work in now, so you can get those details I mentioned from device manager? That will be the only way if I can't figure out how to bypass. Do you have flash programmer for recovery, or know how to recover this system HP's way already? Just in case

First card Working well on another pc. What type of ID are you want ?

It's not best thing to do for me because they are old cards just for test if they work fine i plan to buy a new Intel card to put in.


Original one is a broadcom cart
New one is a Atheros one

Sorry, I assumed you knew the details stuff from looking at other whitelist removal threads. Ideally we'd want the Intel card in your hand, to get it's details, otherwise BIOS would need edited once again, but yes this would prove working method or not if we add one of those.
Need all the following >> ven, dev & subsys id

Like this, for example
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_0280

Here is two more BIOS sets to test.
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...831633135366236

I've tested your second bios, i assume first is same like the precedent one ?
No changes, Err 104 present with the message... no bypass anything. i've removed the card and i've an error (Wifi adapter not present.) continuable with ENTER key

You can try to add this one :
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_10891A3B&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_10891A3B
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_0280

I will edit this message for add original card ID and another one you can try to add at whitelist

edit 1 : Original card ID
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_0280

Edit 2 : Other card to add
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_10671A3B&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_10671A3B
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&CC_0280

Assume nothing when I hand you some BIOS, test both sets Nothing is like anything, otherwise I wouldn't need to make new BIOS for you to try if it was same?
I removed the change I made in first set, and this new set has two different changes instead, please test both new sets I sent and let me know outcome, thanks. And please specify which BIOS goes with what result, in this instance which folder (Since all BIOS have same name)

Flashing in progress... stay tuned :)

edit : First one error 104 too...

I've add all ID I have in precedent post.

Your second bios and third bios present same effect, error 104 present with message...

Only first bios you made not show error 104 but hang pc boot.

Thanks for results, please edit post to add new info I will combine those now, thanks

Also, thanks for ID's, will make you some BIOS to test with those tonight instead. I will also combine changes made in these last two tests, with first edit that removed the 104 error.
I think this BIOS not a one byte change to bypass since HP getting smart to that now, That guides method was made long ago, they probably use new methods now but I think we can find, it not we add support for cards you have, that will work.

All BIOS I sent you, and stock BIOS, "Hang" PC, with unsupported card installed, correct? Just first one I send, no error message, but also no boot past

Exactly yes :) Good resume :)

@Kx2000 - Here, one of these will fix it I'm sure! Hopefully
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...419722716116056

I have updated ucode and flashing first one... stay connected, i will edit this post with result... :) Thanks !

Edit 1 : First one has same result... 104 Error with message.

I will update and flash second one

Edit 2 : @Lost_N_BIOS You're a chief !! it Works !!!!! My Atheros card successfully boot system !
Is it because you've add it or this Bios is able to boot with anything WLAN card i install ?

@Kx2000


So, which set, this one >> Test3-Second3 folder, or ones not in the folder? If that one, meant to use last, I almost didn't send because edit location was right at beginning of file instead of near end where the legible text was like most guides.

I removed whitelist check, didn't add anything, so you should be able to use any card now! [thumbs]
Once you confirm which BIOS I will show you where the edit is and how to do yourself

The Bios in second3 folder :) i test with third card just for pleasure :)
