Acer Laptop with Phoenix BIOS: BIOS MOD Request

how can I flash a MOD Bios in my acer AS 7738g with win7 64?
the program in this ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/6250903-post22.html) post says that is compatible only with a 32bit OS

 

There is a 64-bit flasher in the 5920G vs. 9600M GT thread. Not tested, though - my machine has an Insyde BIOS, which has no problem updating from 64-bit OS.

 

This is Phoenix SecureCore Tiano BIOS. It's UEFI. UEFI mod is not supported yet.

The flasher, included in the package is actually for DOS. You'll need to create a DOS bootable disk (using USB flash drive), put all of the files from the package into the disk & boot with it. Then run the .BAT file. The alternative is use the 64-bit flasher (Winphlash64). However, I do not recommend flashing BIOS in windows.

 

I don't see any option to underclock CPU
plz help anyone..

 

Disable enhanced C states.
Then your CPU should run slow. Not sure why you would want that though.

Also check the link in kizwans sig and try to find your PLL, see if you can get setfsb to work so that you can underclock from windows.

Also you can download throttlestop and lower the multi to underclock from windows.

 

No discussion on running Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware please- see forum rules. Post deleted.

 

My notebook is overheat.. That's why

btw how many percent the CPU drop by disable enhanced C states?

Edit: there is no way to find my laptop PLL.. I've tried many software.. it doesn't work for me..
anyway thx for ur respond thx u bro

 

What CPU do you have?

 

Is CRISIS compatible with Acer Extensa 5230E?
I have an Phoenix SecureCore

 

It should support.

 

How could i Mod my Bios in 3830TG? I wanna change when the throttle kicks in! Thx

 

Is the 8942G fan control BIOS compatible with the 8943G?

 

Aspire 3830TG have Insyde BIOS. You're asking in the wrong thread. There are several thread for Insyde BIOS. You can ask help there.

That is BIOS for Aspire 8942G. You shouldn't flash BIOS that is not for your notebook.

 

Darn . I was hoping for a simple way to quiet the fan down. Thanks.

 

Sorry for harrasing but is the lates bios updated for i7 720qm , 740qm, 820qm and 840qm ?

 

Hi ^nox,

I already replied your PM

 

Kizwan your the best ! <3 +1000 rep !

 

Hi Kizwan!!

I'm the one that asked for a modded version of Acer 7738G Bios v1.20, and then for a modded v.1.13 (that has a later build date).

First of all! There was no stability issue right now and all the cpu features are unlocked! SO YOU ARE TRULY GREAT!

There is just a strange issue regarding battery charging...

The battery can charge only when the laptop is off and only if you unplug the battery, press the power button for 5 secs, and reput the battery in... now the battery start charging (with relative red light).

But if you power on the charging stop, it seams right after the video post and before the bios post. (to restart charging you must re-do the above procedure)

I have tried with unmodified 1.13 and the problem is not present... but i have reflash again with you version cause i can't stay without all that features!

Can you do something about it?

Thanks in advace!!

 

Hi dioskey,

It's very unlikely the source of the problem is BIOS. Whatever it is, it's hardware issue. You need to pressed the power button for 5 seconds show there are electric charge residue left which interfere the battery controller chip from working normally. Try unplug everything, including RAM module, battery & hard disk. Press the power button for 20 seconds. Plug everything back. Hope this solved the problem.

 

It could also be the charger. It gets overloaded when you are trying to charge while running.

 

Hey there.

I was able to install the modded bios A12 on my Dell Studio 1558. Here is my problem though. My secondary hard drive that is installed on the ODD sata port is negotiating at 1.5 gbps instead of 3 gbps like the primary drive. Is there any way to fix that? I would like my secondary hard drive perform as fast as my primary hard drive.

Thank you very much,

Jeremy J Visa

Thank you for your excellent work on this bios.

When I am in windows 7 64 bit, my benchmarks are also considerably slower than my primary drive. Is there anything bios related that can help? Or is the speed issue limited by the chipset?

Thanks,

Jeremy

 

Hi jvisa,

Good question. I don't know for sure but (referring to 1555/1557/1558 schematic) ODD connector have less pin-out compared to SATA connector. So, this might be the reason why the HDD connected to ODD connector is running at SATA I (1.5Gbit/s).

EDIT:-
I found SATA Control Register in Intel 5 Series Datasheet. With this register we can set the 3Gbit/s speed. However, don't put your hopes up too high just yet. I still need to study this.

 

Sorry but forum rules prohibit any discussions on running MacOS X on non-Apple hardware- it's against their EULA.

Ok...So sorry. As i said I am new to forums.
Can I refrase the question and just ask if someone can help me to get vt enabled on my aspire 5630????
Thanks and sorry again.

 

Sorry, I'm a noob here. Can you help me mod my Acer Aspire 4750g?

Mod Request for VT Enable on Acer Aspire 4750g

Bios Version 2.01: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...ep3=ASPIRE 4750G&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_7

Thanks so much in advance.

 

You can find the modified BIOS for Aspire 5630 (BIOS v3.60) at post #212.

Aspire 4750G have Phoenix SecureCore Tiano BIOS (UEFI). UEFI mod is not supported yet. Anyway, VT should already enabled by default on this notebook. Did you tried installing Windows/Linux 64-bit OS on VMware? If installation of 64-bit OS on VMware is successful, this means VT is enabled.

 

lol. I tried that months ago and it fail for some reason :/

 

Hi.
I have just tried to use this bios....

This is modified BIOS image with SLIC 2.1 for Acer Aspire 5652. It is based on BIOS v3.60.



on my aspire 5630.
I am using winphlash64 as I am running 64bit win7 ultimate.
I have tried running straight, and as admin but al i get is the following message:

Image file %s is either not valid or is damaged. Platform signature not found in the interface. Error code -103

I used the bios from the link in this post, so wonder if anyone can help with this???
Many thanks.

 

I am using that bios on my aspire 5630. It works fine for me. I flashed from 32 bit win7. Sorry I can't provide you with any useful info..

 

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
did you use winphlash or som other program???
This is the first time I have tried to do this, so not sure if I need to reinstall win 7 32bit, flash it the reinstall 64bit again???
Or perhaps it may be possible to run in 32bit mode???
Not sure how to do that though.....
Anyway thanks again, and if anyone else has any ideas or suggestions, that wouls be great.
Thanks

 

Please read carefully. In that post already explain how to flash BIOS using either Winphlash (32-bit) or phlash16.exe (DOS). Proceed at your own risk!

You can find instruction at first post how to create DOS bootable disk.

 

I just purchased an Acer Aspire 5560g. I love the performance, but the BIOS is terrible. I planned to upgrade it to faster memory, but that's probably pointless if I can't adjust the timings.

Is this BIOS moddable? How do I find out? Thanks!

 

Aspire 5560G have Phoenix SecureCore Tiano which is UEFI. Phoenix UEFI mod is not supported yet.

 

Hello

Can you activate the option of Bluetooth in the BIOS Acer 5739G?
I mean, to not turn on when you start your laptop.
Please help me.

Thank you.

 

Hello kizwan,

You can modding a new bios?
Based on this one ( Aspire 8942G 3109 Microcode MOD-TEST R4.rar)
Bios 3212, 3314 and 3315 were not good, because this was my SSD is not often recognized.
Bios 3212 is not there anyway, because of this the Ram had not fully recognized.
Your Biosmod (Aspire 8942G 3109 Microcode MOD-TEST R4.rar) is still the best for me ...
Would be fantastic if you could integrate my settings from ACFanControl!
For an Acer Aspire 8942G Core i5 - 450M.

ACFanControl my preferences are also suitable for an Acer Aspire 8942G Core i7.

maikvalberg that has already been tested, he has a Core i7 - 720M.
My ACFanControl ini -. File fits perfectly with him.

Thank you!



greetings from germany :smile:

 

There is no option for Bluetooth in the BIOS that can allow you to enabled/disabled it.

Sorry searcher?, FAN mod is not supported.

 

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.

 

I have an ACER 5738DG 3D laptop ... i like to mod this lame BIOS i.e. have VT (INTEL says processor P7450 doesn't support VT). True/Anything i can do?

 

Intel P7450 doesn't support VT. You can't do anything except upgrading/replacing it with VT capable processor.

 

Could you mod/unhide options in this bios? The previous modded version worked great, but this one comes with a raid option

The stock bios MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Its for a clevo w860cu and w870cu

 

Hi Kizwan.
Quick update...and thanks for your help so far.
I got the bios file from post212 and have managed to change the bios without problem.
It now shows as bios version 3.60, but there is still no option anywhere to enable vt????
Have I missed something???
thanks again.

 

Hi Chaosstorm,

Where did you get this BIOS from? Are you sure this BIOS compatible with clevo w860cu and w870cu? Can any clevo w870cu owner confirmed this? Did you already flashed your notebook with this BIOS?

P/S: Please answer all questions. People tend to answer only the last question.

 

How did you flashed the modified BIOS? Which CPU your notebook have? The CPU might not VT capable.

 

Thanks for the quick response:
1: The clevo w860cu owners thread. A long time ago people where talking about it, but to be of use for me, I kinda need your mod (to enable bios overclocking wich was in the bios you generated/unlocked, works just like throttlestop but then automatically and in every OS)
2: Yes, I have flashed it about half a year ago already and others have done too, it enables the w860cu raid modus/options.
3: I dont know, but i know w860cu owners can, its a original mysin bios and apparently the w860cu and the w870cu motherboards are the same.
4: yes, see answer 2.

Its even on the frontpage in the w860cu thread, and its there already a long time, but it lacks your options

 

@Chaosstorm,

I have visit Clevo W860CU thread & this alone proved the BIOS file is for Clevo W860CU. I'll mod it for you. I'll update here when the BIOS file ready.

Since Clevo/Sager BIOS update usually contain BIOS & EC firmware files...well you know the drill. Make sure your notebook currently using this BIOS.

 

Thanks alot , youre awsome!

Kizwan, do you also have knowledge about vBios editing?
I want to change my Mobility 5870 to FirePro M7820.
The flashing of my 5870 to M7820 worked and it showed catalist pro, but it only worked with DVI output and only in low power settings.
Im using 3ds max and that firepro card would give way better peformance ;-).

 

I flashed the bios using a bootable cd which booted into dos and then ran the plash16 through there wich used the bios update file from comment 212.

My acer aspire 5630 has this: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz, 1667 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)

Thanks again.

 

T5500 doesn't support VT.

 

I only know a little about VBIOS. You should contact .NetRoller 3D. He can help you.

 

Ok..I will.
Thanks so much for all your help this is by far the best, most helpful and quick replying forum I have found
Keep up the good work.
