Unlocked Nvidia-Dell Video BIOS! Overclock your 17inch notebook Videocards! - Page 12

someone unlock the pipe lines pweeez

Ok since juanlu refuses to share the unlocking bit, here it is for the public:

The bit is the frist circle, the other one is not. thnks to Krayziepop who had the time to figure it out. Now MAKE YOUR OWN ROMS! But then again there is nothing sure about why it works, maybe it messes up the lucking sequence. I tried it and it works, but it looks like if i change it i get artifacts i wasnt getting with my other rom (dont remember wichone i had but it was set to 600/800 and now i cant set that manualy... :/wierd.

honestly i cant stand people like juanlu , reminds me of the class geek who doesnt help anyone because of some weird ass reason!!

You are half right Yolda. Both circles represent unlock bits. The one under Perf. table entry 2 is for Throttle clocks. The one under Perf. table entry 3 is for 3D clocks. If you don't want to adjust your cards throttle clocks (which are 200/300 by default) you don't need to mod the bit in the Perf. table entry 2 position.

rnbguy, the pipelines are laser locked at the factory. The only way to unlock them at this point would be a hardware modification. I will be re-AS5'ing my card later on this weekend, so I will be sure to get some GOOD pictures of every detail of the card when I do. They will be available to everybody when I get them taken and posted. Right now, I have some more trucking to do before the weekend so I will be back later!

sorry you are right i tried again, and regarding my strange artifact i see the problem, ... i just offically damaged it, now every rom that tops 600/800 settings will give me awfull artifacts... i guess i will just make use of my complete care now lol.

thanx, we look forward to them pics and thanx guys for the research keep it comin

well we had to, he refused to share it... now i am done until i call dell and ask for a replacement lol

blah still so confused about why mine doesn't work

Guys, juan gave you the answer in one of his posts, but maybe you didn't get it...

now, OPEN your eyes and READ this :

I was able to find the differences just by using a comparing software (ultraCompare lite). In addition to the difference you spotted, there's another one : the very last byte of the rom, it's 4F in the original bios, and 5F in the unlocked one. I'm not sure if it's important.

I feel very bad for juan, who make a big effort to give us a unlocked bios, but some people (specially Yolda) seems to don't like him, and blindly accuse him of not sharing.




juan you don't have to leave because of 1 or 2 guys. "I" value your work, as well as many others, I'm sure Krayziepop does too !
Thank you very much for that ROM

I value your work juan, just as everybody else here. Of course curiosity has gotten the best of me and I wanted to see what you had done to the BIOS to get where we are. Kasaweb, the very last bit in the BIOS is simply a Checksum figure which will change when you save the BIOS file. By changing the two perf. table entries above, you will see the green light by the word integrity turn yellow,under the adv. info tab in nibitor you will see that the calculated checksum no longer equals the actual checksum. This doesn't hurt anything, as long as the BIOS file remains the same size.

Juan, don't necessarily believe that you are the only one in here that knows anything about hacking dude. I have been figuring stuff like this out on my own for many years. Granted I do not have a degree in IT or any formal education at all in the field, I am self educated in many computer related subjects. The info you made changes to is not hard to realize, all it took was a simple comparison of two windows (shown in the picture above) However, I also examined the entire hex code of a stock BIOS and done a bit to bit comparison of the BIOS you modded and found that the only changes you made were in the perfomance registry. IF you made any other changes, they had no effect on the final product. Anyway, Yolda may have jumped the gun on posting the info I showed him, but really what harm has it caused you Juan? I notice that you're original intentions were not to do this mod just for the welfare of others, as is proven by your donation link on your site. None of the modders on this forum expect any compensation for their works here, and as such all information regarding hacking and modding becomes community info shortly after it comes into existance. I am sorry if this has offended you.

I very much value you and your knowledge!
for that I thank yousir, and hope you can get past the views of a few people.
Josh

yep, you're probably right.


IMO, he has done more than that. Just read the quotes I've posted before.

I realize that he is rather bothered by the fact that the information got out so fast, for that I can pretty well understand. With this quote... ... it seems as though he is inviting us to find the difference ourselves, rather than offering the information forthright for us to use. Which I did. Now he is making claims that what I posted was incomplete, which I believe to be inaccurate. Perhaps I am wrong, I have been many times before. If my information was so inaccurate I suppose he may have proved it by showing what it was that I was 'missing'. My guess is that he is just mad that I did figure out what he did, and is venting by taking his leave of absence. I hadn't intended on leaking any info just yet, as I wanted to do some more testing of the hack on my own system first. I didn't have a chance to talk to Yolda before he posted it (been a busy week for me). The only thing that irked me a bit about the way juan submitted this to us was the big donation link on his website. I don't work for money here, and neither do the rest of us who hack and crack on NBF. Nobody expected donations for the pinmods and other vga bios hacks. I suppose he doesn't really 'expect' a donation either, but it still kinda bugs me. The way he stormed out of here so fast kind of leads me to believe that his only goal was to profit a bit from this mod... Seriously though, if I am wrong JL, please correct me. You know what you are doing and you would be a valuable asset to this forum, and I really don't want to see you go dude. Really though, there is no reason to hold back the big 'secret' of how to do these mods... that just makes people more interested in finding the answers themselves.

Alright, I am new to overclocking (I understand the concept) and would like to know the answers to these questions. What BIOS should I download? I have an e1705 with a 7900GS 256 MB. What program would I then use to overclock and what are safe speeds?

Thanks for your hard work, Juanlu. Ignore, if you can, the biggest bunch of WHINERS I've seen in a long time. We'll know who they are because they'll be jumping right back in to bitterly and impolitely complain about my comments as well as your FREE software for which you have every right to ask the OPTION of donations on YOUR OWN web site. They obviously didn't have a MERRY Christmas. Hopefully they can do better on a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And thanks to those who, much more in the normal spirit of NBF information exchange, have offered additional data.

I have removed the image from my site. I don't want to see anyone suffer because of my ignorance. Mod away guys!

hmm, ok so in my one last ditch effort to get my clocks to stick after Juans bios, did the following:
1) Turn off overclocking (aka set the option to No Overclocking in nv control panel, hit apply, restart)
2) Immediately reflashed juanlu's bios (I was already using it so I just reflashed it)
3) Went into NV control panel, Bumped up clocks, tested, applied
4) Ran 3dmark, scored 9100 (up from 8500) so the slider bars derinitely work...
Now I'm going to restart and see if these clocks stick, otherwise i give up

andddddd they went right back to default, honestly I have no idea what the problem is, it can't be drivers b/c someone else is using the same drivers as me and gotten it to work (.9147). What am I missing???

May i ask what the problem is? Juan lu just thinks his work isnt valued becuase we dont worship him for it? Agin he says k-pop PUBLIC work was incomplete just becuase of the timmings optimization and something i found out is that sergiop lead juanlu to his doom giving him an incorrect stock Gs bios that different timmings, so there was all the problem. Eitaher dell spain sucks or just sergiops stock bios was diffrent from ours, becuase indeed gs and gtx read the same timmings. again i had nothing to hank him becuase i allready hadmy optimu clocks flashed.

I RECOGNIZE your work, what i dontagree with is the fact taht you REFUSED TO RELEASE it PUBLIC and not trew your own roms, forcing everyone to use your roms, and not realizing that every cardand overclocker isdifferent, and they migh as well create their own, something we encouraged since the beggining, so good luck in your forums in spain,and until you get yourself the ORIGINAL gs stock bios, and test it yourself taking into consideration FPS stablity and max settings.

I believe what makes you mad is the fact of not being able to respond to our post in time becuase of your english, soi tried to join your own forums, but the moderatos refused me.... i wonder why...?

So people start modding yourself for those who got the information before, if you want it and dont have it i will gladly send it ti you, just pm, or i will ask someone to make a thread with this PUBLIC information.
