stinga11 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 stinga11, are you sure this BIOS is locked? I can't find the locking code in PowerManagement.ffs, it may be in CpuPei.ffs, but I have very poor internet connection to download the whole BIOS image. Will try to find it a bit later. Thanks man I wait for news  EDIT: You're right my bios is not locked. Now I have the SpeedStep working without a patch the AICPM or bios. But anyway thanks for trying and for all your work here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balamut Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can any of you guys take a look at this bios? I can't seem to find the freaking unlocks ...Nvram:http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NkA38AsMBios:P9X79-E-WS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Balamut, no visible locking code in PowerManagement.ffs, which is very similar to the one abowe, which appeared to be unlocked. Please check it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balamut Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Weird, because it looks like that MSR 0x02 is locked.. Â MSR_PMG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL.(0xE2) : 0x403 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 But it isn't. Locked value must be greater then or equal to 0x8000, because lock bit is #15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRush Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 stinga11, your value is unlocked too. I meant only low 16-bit part in my previous message, so the locked value will have 8-F as 4th digit, and your value have 0 there. Â fisherwei, try NVRAM method (described earlied in this topic) to disable BIOS write protection, then use the same dump/patch/flash method, but with FPT instead of AFU.

ericsia-ES Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 hi @CodeRush I am newbie at here I register a account to ask you a question.. I have Dell N4020 and I never able to install Hackintosh, is that because of my bios? I don't know how to use the software produce by you, can you teach me at here? In previus post from other people they said dell use .exe, what is it? I watch a video at Youtube he said any motherboard can use by combine the firmware and your software. What is your suggestion? Can i use that model he mentioned to patch my Dell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 You can, but it flashing this modified BIOS will be hard. Try Clover with AICPM.kext patch first. There is no shame for being a noob, but it's no excuse either. I will not teach you and I have no suggestions. All things you need to know are in the first post of this topic, if you can't understand it - read forum, use google and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericsia-ES Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 For Dell machines with Phoenix Secure Core Tiano UEFI 2.0, such as Vostro 3750, L502x etc you can apply the patch straight to the .exe you have got from Dell.Then flash it as if it was a stock updater thereafter. As said in the original post it will unlock all the advanced menus available for a particular machine you are patching for. The patch sequence used in this utility has originated from bios-mods, you can read this article for in-depth details on the advanced menus. I also have dell but what are you saying .exe?

CodeRush Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 What can I teach you? How to unpack your BIOS image from exe file? It's possible, but how can you flash that modified BIOS, even if you manage to unpack and modify it? I don't know any 100% working method of flashing modified Dell BIOSes except external SPI programmer (which I'm using for my Vostro 3360 BIOS), and I don't want to be a reason for your bricked PC. You don't need to patch your BIOS, because you don't understand, what that patch does at the first place. It's not a miraculous "make-my-system-OSX-compatible" thing, it just removes lock from 0xE2 MSR, that is used for CPU power management. Please try using patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext first. If your OSX crashes with this kext patched - seek a source of failure in other topics of this forum. I'm not an OSX guru in any way, so I simply can't help you any further, sorry about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
