An unwhitelisted bios for the nc8430 already exists. See here.

Patching bios to bypass wifi and wwan checks altogether

FYI: TTAV134@mydigitallife has figured out how to bypass the whitelist checks altogether on bios that can be decrypted by ADDCCV3. Details here.

After playing around and experimenting with ADDCC, I think I may have cracked it :) Could someone give a quick decompress / compare on the BIOS files I have come up with, and see what you think before I give it ago and flash? It's easy for you to do it yourself. Eg: I create a directory \bios and \...

I have tried for hours with the checksum correcting - I seem to have no luck at all with modifying an uncompressed PCI\VEN SUBSYS key, - even if this shows correct checksum - if I reload the file and try to decompress the problem crashes. When I try to modify the "Wake On LAN" string then the check...

My question is how can I use the decompressed whitelist to find where in the compressed BIOS file to start editing Own BIOS ID Byte String. I have obviously got it in the wrong place :cry: . Many thanks for your time :) The whitelist entry @0000ea: 86 80 22 42 3C 10 5B 13 has seen you set 3c=86, 10...

I have come to the conclusion that the BIOS file is compressed. Playing around with the excellent program "Awesome Dirty Do Checksum Checker V3" (Thank you semi) - I loaded the BIOS file and chose Decompress. This leaves me with the file: "02_POST_00020100_Rom.dec" in the ADDCC_V3 folder. .. So can...

Modifying bios DSDT table to quieten fan semi@ and others, I was asked here to modify the bios DSDT table to be the same as the DSDT registry override I did here . Reason being convenience - recent Ubuntu versions no longer provides kernel DSDT override out of the box. So I proceeded to: EDIT: Figu...

I posted a generic way to patch the Insyde BIOS to allow any WiFi PCIe device to be used. It can be found here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=227226&hl= The ADDCCV3 set has uncompressed bios, eg: 2510P. Can you do any digging to find the code that does the whitelist WWAN/Wifi ...

@Semi - have you considered providing bios which is patched to defeat the whitelisting? g: Thinkpad bios hacking. You could provide the patched bios as a donationware, like this.

anyone have any idea's 1. Try putting cellophane tape over pin 20 in case it is a radio issue. 2. Apply a switch to one of the wifi card's pci-e pins (23,25,31,33) then hotswitch it on during bios bootup. You'll need to use the DIY ViDock Setup's anti-whitelisting feature to overcome the clobbered ...

but it seems the bios isnt setting the card up as i get This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. anyone have any idea's on this? Use DIY ViDock's compact tool to setup t...

@Semi, do you have a bios decompressor for the 2530P?
Last time I tried ADDCCV3 couldn't decompress it.

I have tried to follow SEMI's ADDCC V3 Tutorial but get hopelessly lost when it comes to ammending the BIOS file. ... SEMI? Are you still about? You seem to understand this procedure completely, please could you ammend the BIOS file and upload it to the Rapidshare website where I downloaded your gr...

Thanks for your great posts. :D I would like to know if there is a patch or round way working for the pci-whitelisting on HP Compaq 6910p. I have a WWAN module- MC8790 card on hand, but I can't use it on laptop due to bios whitelisting. " WWAN whitelist editing WWAN uses a USB 4-byte VID/DID. ADDCC...
