Hi there!
Do anyone here can help me modding mi HP AMI bios, I want to overclock my cpu, but there isn't the values I need to do it in the AMD overclocking configuration area.

Hi all!

I had tried to mod my bios, but i'm not sure how to. So please do it for me...
Bios file: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/M51Se/M51SE204AS.zip
Asus notebook M51SE
Intel Core2Duo T8100
I think chipset is Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset +ICH8M
And Graphic card Ati HD 3470

I installed Leo4all v3 and the only problem is the cpus=1 (bios will fix it) and ACPI v1.0.3 (because with newer acpi it hangs I dont know why, so if you have some idea to make it work properly...). Another problem is that no ati hd 3470 driver available... where i can get that? and for Intel wireless 4965?

Thanks 4 all!!!

Hi, My mainboard is Gigabyte P965-DS3p (Rev.3.3)

Please, mod my bios.


Thanks.

Best Regard.

Hi, I've modded your bios. This is my first try using david's guide. I couldn't follow it exactly as the dsdt table end point wasn't the one he pointed, but it seems once you locate the beggining the acpl compiler tells you which must be the correct size, so I used that data instead to know how much should I extract.

Apart from that, I had to replace all _T_0 and _T_1, and delete some commands between if's which expected the aliases to be present:

mydsdt.dsl 8770: Notify (\_PR.CPU2, 0x81)
Error 1061 - Object does not exist ^ (\_PR.CPU2)

After all that I checked everything had exactly the same size and was in the same position and replaced the file in the original rom, so here is it: Click to view attachment

I believe it should work. But I probably woulnd't try it without a method to recover the default bios in case something goes wrong.

About your VGA and WIFI...you really should have taken that in mind when you bought your notebook if you planned to use OS X. Ati HD cards are not compatible at the moment, and it doesn't seem they are gonna be in short. Wifi is also incompatible, and there are not drivers at the moment (probably there never will). Luckly you probably can swap your intel wifi by a dell 1390 / 1490 and get wifi out of the box (as long as your pci bus in working properly, otherwise you would need a patched ApplePCI kext).

EDIT:

Could someone patch the Bios for the Asus P5Q-E please?

Same problem as BiTRiP but slightly different motherboard. Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers when trying to boot up.

System Specs:
E8200
P5Q-E

Thanks!!

done

Hi

I have a question about modifying bios, in my notebook there's a problem with compatibility about ram and VGA.
For example, if a want to install windows xp i can't install vga drivers because theres a conflict with +2GB RAM, but if I have only 2GB it can recognize the vga. The same problem in linux and maybe in mac os x.
So I want to know where is the code to study it in the bios. the problem is with PM965 PCI Express Root Port - 2A01
To know more about the problem:
http://www.driverheaven.net/driverheaven-t...1se-ap042c.html
http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/in...p/t-144143.html

My Specs:
Asus notebook M51SE
T8100 c2d
VGA Ati hd3470
4 GB ram
and bios here: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/M51Se/M51SE204AS.zip
So any idea to hack the code and make it work?

Thanks 4 all

I see this morning Kabyl, has on his site a bios that has been corrected for this motherboard.

Thanks Kabyl, much appreciated.

Did you try the bios I posted a couple of messages back?

Vood, yes I tried your modded Bios and it fixed my problem of "cpus=1" in mac os x 10.5.2, but the 2nd problem i had explain is another, something wrong with +2 GB ram and 965 chipset and VGA (in the links there's a little explanation)

Will you please mod my BIOS too?
I have written about it there:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...505&st=480#

Thank you very much! Its working now!

Kabyl, this thread and your work is insane
I am going to install osx on a friend computer tonight, and thanks to your work it should not be to hard ^^

thanks a lot for what you are doing.

your board really works just fine, and you didn't post your issues.. I can't reply to each single post like yours, you should have done some research too no?
I try to mod as much as I can, so please be patient.. I ignore (or delete in my site comments/replies) if the BIOS is already done, or if I find that it doesn't need a mod (like the About this Mac not showing your CPU correctly, or System Profiler or whatever) if OS X starts fine without any old ACPI kext or cpus=1, it likely doesn't need a mod (sometimes some devices don't work well and need a mod though)
nyugdijass: please post about your issues.. this post isn't just for you, but for many others..

Could someone patch the Bios for the Gigabyte please?


System Specs:
E8200
GA-P35-DS4
2GB DDR2 1066
2 HDDs
DVD-RW
ATI4850 512mb

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherb...mp;FileID=13418

I am also having issues with dual core boot.. Hope you can help... thanks in advance.

so kabyl how is your dell research going on?

and the issues are..??

Really sorry for it..
I think party this is because my poor english. Please excuse me for this ...
I can really understand what you say, because I feel all the same many times a day in hardware, and overclocking topics in one forum in my country. But in this hackintish thing im very new at this time

So, my issues are in system profiler there is:

Model Name: Mac
Model Identifier: P5K Premium
Processor Speed: 4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 0
Total Number Of Cores: 1
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 450 MHz

My CPU is an intel E8400

About this MAC:

Processor 4GHz Unknown

If there is no overclock the situation doesnt change.

And in Activity Monitor there arent shown bith cores too...

So, thank you very much if you can give any idea or help about this.

Hi Kabyl,

Please help for my new Asus F8Sg Notebook.

BIOS link: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/F3Sg/F8SNG303AS.zip

CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8300 2.4 GHz
Chipset: Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset +ICH8M
Video Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M G, External 256MB VRAM

Issues: Non-stop reboot and can't see Apple Logo by booting up Kalyway, Jas, iATKOS DVD. Complained with ACPI problem.

Please help!

Ok kabyl did my bios for the Lenovo Y510, everything is working great except that my bios will not accept any wireless mini pci e cards besides the 3945ABG and 4965AGN. I get an error : "Unsupported Wireless Device.. system halted" if i use my dell 1390 or a Atheros AR5BXB6.

can kabyl or someone mod it so that it accepts any wireless card =) thanks.

hi kabyl

can you please mod my bios

Asus A8E Notebook
Specs
CPU: T7300 Core2Duo 2.0Ghz
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
Chipset: Intel PM965

Problem: Can only boot with cpus=1
bios link: Bios 302

i have an ASUS X52SV notebook which says it uses the F3Sv motherboard. would i be able to flash it with the modified F3Sv 208 BIOS so that I could get both cores working? ASUS don't have any BIOS (or drivers) on their site for the X52 at all! cheers.

many thanks for the previous bios mod for my Asus VX3, asus updated the bios. Wondering if you have time to update the fix on the latest release.

Thanks in advance.

java script:downloadfile(this,'VX3','nb%2fVX3%2fVX3203AS.zip','3','76','0','5','VX3203AS.zip') is all I could get from the ASUS site.

hi ,

hope you mod this please :

Wolfdale1333-D667(1.50)

tnx

The file you linked to is worthless, it's for windows only and has no ROM file. I had to search around the site to find the proper file. I modded the ROM according to David's guide and I'm almost certain it's done correctly. If anyone would like to check my work to make sure it's correct I have also included the original unmodified SingleLink.dat(as ASROCKSingleLink.dat) for comparison, as well as the MD5 hash of the modified bios file.

Again, I double checked and it looks correct to me. However, you may want to wait for someone more skilled to check it out before you go ahead with flashing to be safe...

Kabyl .. youd better take the f3jc one from that site cause it killed my laptop. Its already getting fixed so I'll probably be OK but just to make sure others dont get... harmed .

Thanks for your attempts!

I think there are a lot of differente f3jc laptops, each one with different video bios (which usually is contained in the main bios file), so that's probably why it killed your laptop.

Hi Order2Chaos,

Sorry, i`m new to mac

i will check ur mod bios.

tnx

sorry to hear that, the link is broken now
I will try to check that one again..

Tested&confirmed, it works with with quad core also, on an ASROCK 4Core1600P35-WiFi+. which, by the way, has 2 firewire ports, unlike the 4Core1600P35-WiFi.





Kabyl, is the version on your site the same one as the version posted here by DjNeo?

If you mean the BIOS version,then it clearly says 1.30, if you mean the mod, then no, the one posted on my site also clearly says by Kabyl

I flashed my bios, now i dont get that error, but now it gives me apple logo and it just reboots over and over.thanks,joshOK, well i got it working with -v cpus=1, but do i have to do that every start or was that the only time i need to ?Also, audio works, usb works, but firewire and ethernet do not. Where do i go for that?Thanks a lot by the way... i thought I would never get past the error.Thanks,josh

@:Order2Chaos

well, I flashed bios successfully, and install MAC Kalyway 10.5.2, i got hfs+partition error
when i boot with cd by pressing F8 mac boot up and works.


and i have SB live! 5.1, Twinhan express & on board audio don`t work.

any help?
Sorry, my english lol

I apologize, I did not see "by Kabyl" only after i download the file. I will test your version also and let you know how it works. Thank you very much for your time and efforts.

I'm glad the bios worked for you. What kind of CPU do you have? Were you having the problem of Having to boot with the cpus=1 flag? Because that's what the modded bios is supposed to fix.

About the audio card, I don't think the sound blaster cards will work; I'd say you should try patching the on board ALC662.

Try patching the audio with this program, drag the codec dump txt file onto the frog face: AppleHDAPatcherv1.20
CODEC Dump: ALC662 Dump (Right click, save as)

Hey,

Would you do that to my bios too? It can only load OS X while using old ACPI kexts and the infamous "cpus=1" flag.

It's Twinhead J12S.
CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7300 2 GHz
Chipset: Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset +ICH8M
Graphics: Intel X3100

After reading the instructions I tried doing it myself but apparently it has too many errors (167 to be exact) and I don't seem to find them on google.

I need a bios for Asus P5lD2 (Regular edition)

http://support.asus.com/download/download....amp;model=P5LD2

Im using 1904

Core2duo 1.8 gig
2 gig memory
8600GTS asus
Asus p5ld2

Good day,

yepp, it`s working now hehehe

but still have problem with sat card; any Dvb for mac?

tnx

Hi Kabyl!!!

First of all, very nice work you're doing...

I have a hp nc6320 laptop and i have installed a Leopard 10.5.2 on it but only works if I disable the dual core option in the BIOS or boot flag cpu=1

Here is the link to the BIOS ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38501-39000/sp38743.exe

The nc6320 has a t5600 core 2 duo processor and a Intel GM945 Express Chipset.

could you mod the BIOS o tell me how should i do it??

Thank you so much in advance.

I've attached below the modified bios for the MSI P31 Neo-F (MS-7392), it's the latest V1.2 from MSI. I've also included the MD5 checksum of the bios in the txt file, might be a good idea to make sure they match.

Should work fine; however, I would suggest creating a recovery disk just in case something goes wrong. See THIS post for instructions. The original unmodified bios is linked to above.

hi all,

i was wondering, has anyone ever modded a bios for that guy who wrote the how to that is referred to in the first post? i think i have the same notebook as him, or one from the same series and possibly the same bios. if i remember correctly, someone else has also asked for a mod for that in this topic, though i couldn't find that post right now.
i have tried to go by the how to that was posted a couple of pages back, but eventually got scared as nothing i did looked anything like what was described in the how to (e.g. could only find one instance of dsdt instead of two and none of the supposed end point...), so i decided not to risk killing my fine notebook (and having to say, yea, it was all my fault, not somebody else's) and seek for help/advice here.
the issues i'm getting are pretty much the same as in the guy's how to. have leo4allv3 running with old acpiplatform, have to boot with cpus=1 etc etc.
so, if that bios has been modded already, i'm just too stupid to find it and someone please point me in the right direction, eh?
if not, my lack of knowledge forbids i try again mod it on my own, but if anyone feels the need to help me (and some of the others with the same notebook),
then here's the link to the bios again

thanks for reading through my whining!
...and for maybe modding the bios

Kabyl, can you please mod my BIOS? (msi p6ngm) (It's on page 25.) The problem I have is here

I've tried pretty much anything but editing the bios, but I'm afraid I can mess it up myself; Can you please do it?

OK,

Ethernet, usb and audio all work now except firewire.

My main issue is that, even though i updated the bios with this one, i have to still type cpus=1 everyboot. I was hopeing that both cores would be noticed, especially since its an intel core2 duo. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

Kabyl,

I have an HP Pavilion Elite d5000t ATX CTO Desktop PC, which uses Asus IPIBL-TX ( Q9300 , GeForce 9300). I had the same dreaded ""using xxx buffer headers and xxx cluster IO buffer headers". But after extensive research, I finally got it working, but with one cpu( cpus=1). It will be great if you can modify this bios to use all cores:

HP Pavilion Elite D5000T BIOS

Asus IPIBL-TX / Burbank-GL8E Mother board specs

Thanks in advance.

I know this was ages ago but...

Evidently, I actually used the wrong modded BIOS! Lucky I didn't hose my mobo tbh. Anyone else with an MSI P35 Neo-FR make sure you are using the 1.80 version as opposed to the 1.70 version I initially used.

Everything works a treat now, thank Kabyl you effing GENIUS!

Done.

any news for dell guys?

I am Running an ASUS DSEB-DG mobo with

-two 5460 3.0ghz quad core Xeons
-Nvidia Quadro fx3500
-8gb Crucial ddr2 800

I have four hackntosh running and I have built over 10 other hackntoshs, buy my problem only seems to happen on boards with Xeon procs. I boot the DVD, iATKOS, Kalyway, etc.... and it always hangs after the message:

I Have tried installing your modified BIOS, all went well with that. I went from BIOS 1006 to 1003, but it was worth the downgrade if everything worked afterwards. I have been trying to get this system to run OS X for a long time now and I am at a loss of what to do. Please any help would be great.

-Brock

Wow, it worked. I can't thank you enough. The community has been great, without which I don't have a fully working (except LAN , which is obvious) hackintosh from a locked-down bios. This BIOS have no setting for ACPI etc.

All four cores are now showing in Activity Monitor / System profiler. Xbench didn't show much improvement, I guess it is not multi-core aware.

Edit : Geekbench score(32-bit): 5251 vs 2574.

Order2Chaos , once again, thank you.

- Jay

hi my english is not so good but i think that you understant.

I have a LGSP23P and i could get almost all working in my hackingtosh. What still not work is the wifi intel 3945 and the processor.
My processor is a Intel T7500 and with 2 cores it doesn't work.
There are any solution for that?

tks guys
