bazilato Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 are you talking to me (a quote would have been nice)? Because I don't know what my question regarding PMPatch has to do in Rehab thread.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yes, I'm posting directly below you, there's no need to quote. Nobody needs to read the same thing twice. PMPatch unlocks MSR 0xE2. MSR 0xE2 is not locked on your motherboard. This topic is about PMPatch, therefore, even after you've edited your previous post and your signature, you're still off topic here - until Coderush says otherwise. Rehab's topic deals with many things Haswell, among them, the same issue that you're having. I'm pointing you to that topic to help you find the information you need - because you won't find it here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 0.5.14 is out. Changes are made only for better Xcode build compatibility. Hopefully there will be no more crashes on OS X. Binaries for Windows and OS X are ready to download. Please test and report any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab's topic deals with many things Haswell, among them, the same issue that you're having. I'm pointing you to that topic to help you find the information you need - because you won't find it here. In fact, I was not able to use PMPAtch that's it. I wanted to know why and as Coderush asked regarding a previous problem with a GA Board which is almost the same product as me: "Doesn't it work out of the box? I have no GB boards now, but if 0xE2 is locked, then I will try to figure out, where." I just wanted to share my experience on my board too a GA Z87X-OC which is not the same one but having the same problem Are you 100% sure that MSR 0xE2 is not locked on my motherboard ? You would be the first one who was able to answer to my question and that's nice I have patched my Kernel using Pike and Rehab technic but I'm still not able to use PM PATCH is is not normal ? should I have to patched ACPUPM.kext as well ? no ? You seem to know this mobo and PMPATCH well; this kind of advice could be really appreciated. (am I off topic here ? if so do not hesitate to delete my post) Thank you very much for everything and your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhills Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) a little off topic but now i tried flashing an unpatched bios and now my motherboard is bricked... Edited December 1, 2013 by Gringo Vermelho At least add the full name of your motherboard. For now your post is just scary - make it helpful.

WonkeyD Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 @CodeRush: Curious if you could take a look at the v2.10g BIOS for ASRock Z87E-ITX mbd. [Direct download link] (website link) There is a working PMPatched v2.0 of this BIOS floating around (here); I'm using it atm. There's also a v2.10 of the BIOS that someone else had run PMPatch on (here), but when I tried flashing it just spat out a security flag and wouldn't go. Thanks. Im currently in ongoing discussions with the tech guys at Asrock regarding this and a few other goodies that would optimise this board quite nicely for OSX. See threads here : http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-hardware-discussion/117344-z87e-itx-updates.html And here : http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/112139-pmpatch-help.html Feel free to contribute and list any issues there; they have those links so can keep up to date on what people are looking for. They have been very receptive so far! I have a beta bios 2.10E here, which *might* resolve some of our issues. The latest PMPatch works with this and the stock 2.10 from the website but Ive not had chance to try them out on the board yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmarsh Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi CodeRush! Any chance this might be made to work on Dell XPS 15 9530? Attached file includes AIDA64 report, the latest BIOS, and the generated output. [EDIT] I have found I can write the rom file using /writeromfile (instead of the -writeromfile which used to work) I can then patch the resultant rom file using the tool successfully. Have not yet figured out how to flash the rom yet -- how did you repack it into the exe?. PMPatch 0.5.14PowerManagement modules not found.PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi module at 00234BE8 patched.AMI nest modules not found.Phoenix nest modules not found.CpuPei module at 00759B40 not patched: Patch pattern not found.Output file generated. [EDIT] Its an AMI Aptio BIOS. Patched rom appears to be flashable using AFUWin64 v.3.05.02 I am going to review recovery procedure before I try it. If it works, will install Mavericks and have my 1st new hack in years. [EDIT] Both AFUWin64 and AFUDos won't flash mod files; they complain about secure flash They will flash the unpatched rom. [EDIT] Method is impossible for newer EFI BIOS. See p. 14 "a binary modified after signing will have an invalid signature" http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Plugfest_2012Q1_v3_AMI.pdf 9530A01.EXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useletters Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi! I have unlocked my bios using a mod from another forums, namely TechInferno. Anyway, is this equivalent to pmpatch? Or do I still have to use your patch?Many thanks! EDIT: I have used your patch but I didn't flash my bios yet. I used PMPatch 0.5.14 for Mac as I don't have Windows. Here is the result from Terminal.

CodeRush Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 wmarsh, you can use hardware SPI-programmer to dump your BIOS chip contents, patch the dump and flash this patched dump back. This is the only way I know for Phoenix and Insyde BIOSes with signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarsh Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks CodeRush. It's a signed AMI BIOSs, so looks like all 3 are going the same route. Chip looks soldered -- if it was a socket I might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Have you tried the method linked in FAQ? AFU has an undocumented key to flash modified BIOSes, try using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarsh Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks CodeRush! I missed /gan. Will try tonight. [EDIT] Victory! /gan works. There really is no excuse for my missing this, other than when I read the FAQ I thought I was dealing with a Phoenix BIOS (as every other Dell I've worked on) and missed the link. I also can confirm the stock Dell BIOS can be flashed over the patched BIOS in the usual way, which means updates can be installed, but repatching the BIOS will be necessary afterwards. On to install 10.9 on my mSATA. [EDIT] Reading the startup screen, I can confirm CodeRush's patch gets native power management on Dell XPS 15 9530. However, when graphics initialize, LVDS goes black unless something is plugged into HDMI. Which is exactly the video driver problem we saw on laptops before we started patching the driver. This problem I know how to fix: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245308-mobility-radeon-10667-guide-for-qeci-testing-107/ [EDIT] PM'd Slice (who I knew from when we figured how to patch Mobility Radeons). He said my dev ids are not yet injected with Clover, although he will add them to the list. So plan is to disable QE in single user mode, install as VGA like we did with Mobility Radeons, then address the issue. Looks like I might be good with Enoch branch though, so will try that before anything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useletters Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 How can I flash my bios with OSx? Last time I flashed, I was using Win8. Also, how should I know if PM works after flashing? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't recommend to even try flashing your BIOS form OS X. Use built-in BIOS flasher, if any, or boot Windows XP from Hiren's BootCD ISO and use normal flasher for Windows. Your 0xE2 register will sure be unlocked, all other PM setup is up to you.

nonconformistconformist Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My BIOS freezes at trying to update with the pmpatched BIOS file. The mobo is not dead. LUCKY me!! If I upload the BIOS file here, could someone patch it for me? Perhaps I am not doing it right Or, should I use an older BIOS file to patch?

CodeRush Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 starfish_crackwhore, could you please read the FAQ and use the method to flash AMI BIOSes linked there? Your patched BIOS file is fine, but it can't pass security verification after any modification, so it needs to be flashed another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
