Hi guys,

I've used one laptop over 9 years. Instead of looking for an alternative one, prefer upgrade and restore her in my way. But I haven't mod bios in my life. On the hunt for UEFI version BIOS but fail. Try to learn some knowledge about modifying InsydeH2O BIOS and check sorts of posts, threads, websites. Even download couple of tools, such as

BIOS Properties	
BIOS Type	Insyde UEFI
BIOS Version	QR192
SMBIOS Version	2.7
UEFI Boot	No
Secure Boot	Not Supported
System BIOS Date	03/03/2011
Video BIOS Date	12/10/10
	
BIOS Manufacturer	
Company Name	Insyde Software Corp.
	
Problems & Suggestions	
Suggestion	Video BIOS is more than 2 years old. Update it if necessary.
 

 

Another info about my laptop DELL TWH is the brand might not be the real name. She has the same model motherboard, chipset even CPU with HASEE K580P laptop. Finally found them from a company, QUANDA TWH, located in Taiwan. Both have same appearance, model. So if fail to get DELL TWH BIOS from official website, might be HASEE, QUANDA web is my last chance. Dramatically, I fail as well. That's what I can do up to now. And my laptop info within AIDA64 as below,

And that's what I have known right now. No ideas how to mod, flash, my bios. My hope is simple, just wanna add an new module, UEFI function, for enjoying latest version Windows 10. Really wish u guys can power up me & my old laptop. That would be a biiiiiig favor for me.

2011... transition time, laptop/desktop bios was Legacy or the so called Hybrid (EFI) or UEFI, urs could be a Legacy or Hybrid... and Hybrid r really not PURE UEFI. Ur stuck as u cannot add a UEFI "module",
if no CSM option in bios, thats it, unless the OEM has a more recent bios for the model.

Thanks my friend. You are the 1st teacher who tell me what the thing is. So sad to hear that, so that means can't add UEFI module any more, can I?
My BIOS capture & IFR-TXT file capture as below,

UEFI boot option is present in the BIOS. Is it works? -Don't know.
By the way, are the Advanced and Power tabs accessible in your BIOS right now?

Hi there,

The BIOS capture as below,
Main
Advance
Boot
Security
Exit

Seems like just a few options within my BIOS.
So is it possible to insert UEFI module?
Or is it possible to unlock all hiding advance options.

@Bruce
Sorry, but I can't view your uploads. I have no access rights. Perhaps you need to change the sharing settings.
It is possible to unlock hidden options. But have you tried installing my mod yet? And here is a possibility that the BIOS may not be flashed because I chose the wrong version of InsydeFlash.
Let me know.

Hi sir,

Just edit sharing condition...thanks for mention me...Suppose they're visible for all visitors RN...

1. which *.fd/*.rom file should I flash back? Cuz flashing an unmodified *.fd/*.rom back into CMOS equals nothing.

Then press OK button-succeed-auto restart laptop.

Good news, there is not error during whole process. XD

Hi sir,

If everything like what you said, it doesn't make sense. I do believe what you did for me. So might be I should flash again. So give me a hint what I will see after succeeding flash the BIOS which you mod for me. Or may be the running environment's problem? Should I flash it with windows 7?

Hi sir,

Hints
1. The HASEE 神舟 logo was demonstrated by EzH2O.exe from your TWHQR192.BIN file.
HASEE 神舟 BIOS logo

2. The DELL logo was showed up from my original BIOS. They're differ. So if flashing succeed, this one will be alternated to HASEE 神舟.
Original BIOS logo

3. Try to reflash mod version on windows10, windows8 PE x86 and win8 PE x64 mode, everything's OK. Erase, flash, finally your Insyde.exe close automatically. Seems like successful, but when I chech the BIOS logo still DELL.

4. I remember Intel ME System Tools v8 r3\Flash Programming Tool\Windows64\fptw64.exe this FPT tool can backup and flashback *.fd BIOS for me. And I was successfully backup my original BIOS file by this tool. So is it possible to convert your TWHQR192.BIN to TWHQR192.FD, and flashback to my BIOS?

5. If there's possibility to do so, how can I convert *.bin into *.fd?
