Clevo BIOS Thread

Yes, otherwise it won't do a thing. It's the MS-DOS or FreeDOS that's actually bootable; use Rufus first and then add the autoexec.bat.

 

Hi.My English is not very good.There is something I want to ask.I 'm using this device; Grundig GNB 1150 B1 N2

bios version of this product in the i 1.03.01TAKT I can not close this version UEFİ.How to update the model 's bios.
I'm sorry for my bad english.I would appreciate if you can help.Thank you.

 

if you could please add support of p65sa please, I suppose it's only a minor change from p65se

 

Finally a local shop did the miracle. Unweld the bios chip, program and weld again... and is working like a charm

 

I will try to, but I barely have time for the current models. It's hard managing 3 jobs.

 

Updated initial thread.
Looks like the new G-Sync models use a different BIOS, which makes keeping everything right in the initial thread a pain.

Now we have:
P770ZM and P770ZM-G
P750ZM and P750ZM-G
P370SM1-A and P370SM-A (I don't know the difference), but looks as if they use different BIOS.

I did my best to keep everything as simple and as clear as possible. Please be careful and try not to brick your machines.

If you have time, please check that the links are ok and everything is clear and there are no risks.

As for the 65xSA, please look at repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P6xxSA/

 

Maybe the Bios 3.06 for the W650SZ may be added to the W670SZQ page at palkeo's website? even if with a warning sign...

 

I noticed the warning about how it is risky to go from a Clevo BIOS to a Sager BIOS. I currently have the Prema Mod BIOS installed on my W230SS, and want to switch back to a stock BIOS (just emailed Sager asking for one). For the purposes of that warning, does Prema Mod count as a Sager BIOS? Should I go ahead with flashing?

 

PremaMod counts as Clevo BIOS. However, Prema has stated multiple times that there are actually no risks involved and the statement I made in that thread only applied to some specific cases for some older models.
However, if you really want to play safe, it's best to wait for @Prema replay on the matter.

 

Hi to All :O) i'm newbie in this section, sorry if my question is stupid !

Hi, im new on this forum, sorry my bad english, is not my languaje , i have some question for anyone that can help me,
Im from Argentina and i have "Positivo BGH QL602", argentinian manufacturer doest have a good support, i tryied to get the bios update from them with no luck, when i realize that this particular model is exactly the same as a Clevo 310CZ / 310CZ-T, not only outside appearance, in fact bios information say:
MB SERIES: W310CZ/W310CZ-T
BIOS Version: 1.02.07TP05
KBC/EC Firmware Version: 1.03.01
If u ask y im looking for an update, well, mi laptop is working fine, but i recently upgrade to W 10 and curiosly Insyde Airplane Mode Mini-Driver doesnt work, specially on 64 bit plattaform, i tryied Windows 8.1 with same result (doesnt work) alwys keep qith a yellow traingle.
Finally i tryied W 8 32 bits, and no problem or issues, airplane mode work just fine, but i need 64 plattaform in order to my 8 gb ram work.
Looking for a solution on the web, i find a list of bios updates, and one of them say "add windows 8.1 compatibility" so i guess that may solve my problem, so asking u about.

First whats the difference between a Clevo 310CZ and a 310CZ-T? any bios for 310CZ will work on a 310CZ-T and vice versa?
Second it would be safe to flash it with a clevo update if is not a clevo, i mean is different manufacturer but looks like the same.

Ty in advance

 

I have no clue what it's the difference between them, but it's probably minor.
By the looks of it, the 310CZ and the 310CZ-T have the same BIOS.

It's ok to flash a clevo BIOS on your laptop, but be advised that if you have an Argentinian keyboard, your keys might be a bit messed up. Stock Clevo BIOS usually changes your keyboard layout to US English.

Have a look here:
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/W310CZ/
And give rep point and likes to @palkeo .

 

But i still can change my keyboard layout from the SO setup right?
I can flash only bios, i mean without flashing the ec? i ask because some of the files from the link u paste, has bios file only.
Btw, last bios file link is dead from that repo u paste and i try googling it without any luck

Ty in advance Blacky

 

Yes, you can still change from OS.

Depends on what EC is have right now. But generally speaking you should always update EC first and than BIOS, otherwise you risk bricking your laptop.

You should probably first update to this:
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/W310CZ/New_FW.zip
and then
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/W310CZ/B0305.zip

But yes, the last link is not working. Maybe someone else on this forum has access to to the last file. Regardless, you still need to apply the first update.

 

Ty in advance for the time i stole from u with my questions, one last thing pls, is there any way i can send u private message with pics of my laptop in order to u confirm if is it a clevo clone? i flashed bios before but never a bios from a manufacturer in another different one so, im kinda of afraid to brick up my netbook and is the only one i have , and i really wish to solve the stupid problem with windows 10. Ty again

 

I have a Clevo P650SE (the GTX970M model), and I observed that my BIOS version is 1.03.04, from American Megatrends Inc. . I want to update it, but I don't know if this is compatible with my laptop ( http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P65xSE/) ( E0310.zip file). Also, the first post tells me I should update my EC/KBC first. If I update with the EC from that ZIP, can I update the bios from the B0309.zip archive?

Sorry for the noobish question, but I don't know what I should really do

 

Huh? Latest simple BIOS/EC combo flash is right in the OP, no need to be adventuress.

 

Sure, always happy to help!

 

The problem is that in readme it says that the BIOS from the OP post it's PREMAMOD V2. I think if I flash this moddedd BIOS I will lose my warranty, and I really want to keep it.

Also, in Nvidia Inspector it says my subvendor is Schenker, even if I bought a Clevo laptop. Is this normal? Can I use the VBIOS from the official Clevo BIOS update?

And should I make my USB under MS-DOS or FreeDOS? The term "pure DOS" isn't too precise

Thank you for your help

 

Maybe Blacky used another 'readme'?!
You can also download the stock versions on my blog (click my signature).
Use MS-DOS (wherever possible)

NVIDIA Inspector dev just used Clevos ID 1558 to display Schenker. GPU-Z etc have since been updated to display Clevo.

You can use the stock vBIOS which comes bundled with the package.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but what's new in the Prema GTX9 MXM vBIOS v1.1.1?

I'm looking to update the bios on my sager 8672s (670sg) and on the first page it says that it's better to flash a Sager one. Any ideas on where I can find the latest sager one?

I'd rather have the prema one but I think it's a bit too early to void that warranty lol. Also, does the prema v bios only work with prema bios flashed? I tried to run it but it kept telling me Nvidia device not found.

Yes, you contact XoticPC or Sager, and they will provide you with the proper one.

 

FYI it seems that with the new Prema bios my P670SG will accept and run 2133MHz memory where the previous bios wouldn't. Two humbs up!

 

Yeah, I removed the artificial RAM locks...

 

Excellent bios sir, now my 240W PSU seems to be the limitation... Who would've thought...
(Weird though, it doesn't really get that hot...)

 

It appears that mySN has 1.05.01 "Windows 10" BIOS/EC for P75x/P77x.
Anybody knows what's new there and if they available as vanilla Clevo?

 

It adds better support for W10 secureboot (fixes a theoretical bug).
Clevo has not yet finished quality control and pushed the BIOS up stream. They have since made a few more betas...

 

i just received confirmation from sager that BIOS: 1.05.01 is the latest one for the np8672/670SG/

Do the newer (vanilla CLEVO) ones provide better performance/stability? I'm noticing some occasional stutter in some games and i've been reading that might be related to some issues with BIOS. How accurate is that?

 

You would need to use the Mod version in order to be able to get rid of the throttle (click my signature).
vBIOS will remove GPU throttle and BIOS with give you TDP options to adjust the system regarding CPU throttle.

 

I take it that voids the warranty?

 

Yes and no. I mean, if you need to send your system back in for repairs you can always flash back the stock BIOS/vBIOS.
On the other hand, if you screwed up your systems because you didn't know what you are doing and they will read the BIOS/vBIOS chips, then you will pay for the repairs, which I think it's fair.

 

There are no new BIOS updates for the models in the initial thread. Probably by the end of October I will archive them to make room for the new models.

 

Hi,

Mirror update. New files for :
- N1xxSD
- P65xSE

- W330AU
- W840AU

New models :

Enjoy

 

Depends on your reseller. As long as whatever you need repaired isn't damaged by the custom BIOS/vBIOS, some resellers won't mind and it won't void your warranty.

 

I know this guy probably isnt reading this anymore, but I found the same issue while trying to pin point the reason my windows keeps crashing for no apparent reason. Also we both have the same laptop.

With some digging in the device manager it turns out this is the EgisTec Fingerprint sensor. This tidbit is just for future google searchers like me.

 

Hi,

I recently had my laptop (W355SSQ) repaired and they updated the BIOS and EC firmware to version 1.05.01 (screenshot: http://oi59.tinypic.com/ezrgk1.jpg). I cannot find this version anywhere and would like to know if this is the correct version for my device.

After the BIOS was updated by the repair service my sound device disappeared and I had to send the laptop back. After that they changed the motherboard and now the sound has returned. Although the sound has returned, there seems to be no "stereo mix" option for recording audio and I swear it was there before.. So I wonder if they might have installed a wrong BIOS version on my device (twice).

Also, I have read in the service manual that the BIOS cannot be downgraded:

Can someone confirm that this will give problems? Otherwise I might try and downgrade to see if this will give me back the stereo mix function..

Thanks!

 

Id be interested in that too. I myself updated to 1.01.05a (P751ZM) and flashing Prema would be a downgrade in version numbering. Wonder if that could brick the system beyond repair.

 

You can downgrade. The issue is compatible ec. If the ec is incompatible with the bios, you brick the system, if I remember correctly. You would need to flash ec without a reboot, then the bios and me. Then you can reboot. If you don't use the command to stop the reboot, you will brick the system. @Prema, did I state this correctly? Meanwhile, if you are going back only one bios version, the ec should be compatible as you usually flash that first, then the bios. Meanwhile, if you flash the old ec, and it is not compatible with the newer bios that is still on the system, you brick the system. That is the reason, if you are flashing both, you must stop the reboot after the ec flash before flashing the older bios. Research before attempting!!!

 

Thanks for your reply. For me personally, the sound problem I was having has been solved on a fresh Windows installation, so I guess it was driver related. Still would like to know more about the BIOS version and downgrading though, but it's not something I will undertake any time soon as it seems to be risky business..

 

Are there instructions to flashing latest BIOS from MySN with 1st and 2nd EC?

 

Yes, read the initial thread for Clevo P770ZM / P771ZM / P770ZM-G (Sager NP9772)

 

Looking through thread for P770ZM owner's thread, having difficult time finding flashing instructions.

NVM found it.

Flash EC 1 and 2 first. Reboot and run meset. Then flash BIOS. Simple.

 

***Edit: sorry, this should have been posted in the Clevo bios old models thread...

I confess I didn't read through this whole thread. It appears the link in the first post for instructions to create a dos bootable USB drive is broken.

I'd like to update my Clevo W150ERQ to the latest bios and EC (1.02.17, 1.02.08 respectively). I'm assuming I can just create a bootable dos USB with Rufus?

 

***Edit: sorry, this should have been posted in the Clevo bios old models thread...

Also, there's a link in the first post to a site https://biosmods.wordpress.com/ Which bios is recommended, the stock bios or the Prema Mod bios? I'm not sure I understand the difference between these.

In case it's relevant, the reason I am looking in to updating the bios is because I intend to install a new CPU in my Clevo 150ERQ. I will be installing a i7-3940XM, and just in case I'd like to be able to undervolt the CPU a little if it gets too hot.

 

Hi !

Mirror update

New models and models with fresh stuff :
- N1xxRD
- N2xxJU

(also, I removed my mail from the pages because I was contacted so much by people who wanted to flash their laptop, and I just can't help them… If you want to contact me because you want me to update my mirror, look at the source code of any mirror page)

 

thx for your hard work palkeo, keep up that great mirror

Hello,

I have a Clevo Laptop W76CU and i replaced the damaged mainboard (P/N: 6-71-M77C0-D03B GP) with a compatible mainboard (P/N: 6-71-B5120-D03 GP). I purchased the last mainboard because the first (damaged) was out of stock it hasn't availability. The damaged has Mobile Intel Express Chipset PM55 (BD82PM55) and i have an Intel Core i7 720QM CPU installed on it. I know that my new mainboard has Mobile Intel Express Chipset HM55 (BD82HM55) and supports the above CPU. When i install this CPU on the new mainboard i hear a beep and i see after a start up the message ''DON'T SUPPORT THIS CPU. TURN THE POWER OFF'' on my monitor. While i can go to the bios settings pressing F2.

My new mainboard (B5120) has:

Β5120 bios ver 1.00.09
KBC/EC Firmware 1.00.05
VBIOS REV: BR36752.

and my question is why i have this problem since the Mobile Intel Express Chipset HM55 officially supports Intel Core i7 720QM CPU.
What i need? A newest bios?

I will be grateful if someone can give me a solution for my problem.

Thanks
Skouras Stylianos

 

Yes. Or, failing that, mod/update the BR36752 bios with the proper cpu microcodes.

Those microcodes contain the cpu's basal instruction set and these differ for each variety of cpu. If this HM55 board never featured support for the 720QM (or similar) then failure is expected. Upload both bioses in order to make that mod possible. Of course, you'll need some way to flash it. So either a programmer or the cheapest cpu that is natively supported on this platform.
