Hi everyone.
Apologies if this isn't the right place for this, I know there is a 'Clevo BIOS' sticky on the forum but a lot of that looks to be aimed at the Prema stuff, but doesn't look like he is active these days.
So I have a Clevo P950HR which I purchased from PC Specialist in the UK, all is great however I decided I wanted to update the BIOS from the version they supplied it with, to the latest Clevo release I could find. The laptop came with BIOS 1.05.05TPCS and 1.05.05 EC Firmware, and I have flashed 1.05.06 from here:
http://rjtech.com/shop/index.php?dispatc...page_id=25 (if anyone knows a better place to find BIOS releases for these Clevo machines, please let me know).
However after flashing, I now have the stupid 'Style Notebook' splash screen on boot and would really like to change it to something else.
I am booting from USB and using afuefix64 to flash the BIOS which is what comes included with the new release I downloaded (
https://www.rjtech.com/Driver/Intel_Fix/...FI_OEM.zip).
I found a copy of AMI ChangeLogo v5 which was able to open up the BIOS file (there is a BIOS.BIN and an ALL.ROM) extract the existing splash .bmp image and replace it with a different image file, that part seems to work fine.
The issue is when I then attempt to flash the BIOS back again, using either `Flash` or `FlashMe` which look to just be wrapper scripts, or by invoking the afuefix64 program manually I am then given the following error:
"18 - Error: Secure Flash Rom Verify fail."
I have tried running:
Flash (this is just a wrapper for the afuefix64 BIOS.BIN /p /b /n command)
FlashMe (this seems to instead use the ALL.ROM file, which looks to include both the Bios and the Intel ME fw)
manually run afuefix64 BIOS.BIN /p /b /n
I've noticed with AFUDOS people use the /GAN flag which apparently allows the program to flash the file anyway, however this isn't a thing in afuefix64 I am using (neither is /gan). I'm guessing this is happening because the integrity of the original file has been changed or has modified the files signature.
This is about were my knowledge of BIOS flashing ends, and was really hoping someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
