DELL M1330 SLIC 2.1 BIOS mod flash

[Paul]

Today when we buy any laptop or desktop from a branded source we get OEM version of the operating system. It is better recommended that you must register it online to ensure the originality of the product. Here I have some steps to guide you out for the BIOS modification which is done to activate Windows. This will be helpful you to in two case. First you can identify that your version of Windows is original or not and the second is that if in case you have any serious major issue in your system and you had reformatted everything then you can again make your Windows Genuine.

The Dell M1330 is just for sample to explain you how do this work. It is possible to activate a pirated copy of Windows too by this but that is illegal and you might be held responsible for that. Using a pirated operating system is serious issue today. So read the below stuff to get informed on the modding of BIOS. You may get ready made BIOS mods which can be run from Bootable Pen drive. But do not believe them out. Better go to an authorized service center for restoring your entire system.

Microsoft uses technology SLP 2.1 ( System Locked Preinstallation ) for the activation process of OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ) of Windows 7 computers branded like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. One of the prerequisites to start with a product key OEM Windows 7 is the existence of SLP public key and SLP marker within a SLIC table contained in ACPI. If you have an old motherboard with updated BIOS with SLIC must update 2.1 that allow you to add SLIC table, and OEMID OEMTableID. In light of those expressed in this article will try to rearrange the ideas from our readers that make demands on how to make these checks.

They provide the products for such hacks in the name of Windows 7 Loader eXtreme Edition. This tool helps to patch the OEM version of Windows. Do not forget to check your laptop or desktop thoroughly before buying. It is possible that your version of Windows not have the original copy and in place of that you got a modded bios flashed by SLIC.

DELL M1330

This laptop is a lightweight, portable, thin and futuristic. The XPS has an appealing design and modern, almost minimalist. It is almost an ultra light weighs between 1.8 and 2 kg, has a 13.3” screen and measured between 2 and 3 inches thick when closed. It is also framed by a sleek case customizable color deep crimson red or black. A notebook can be equipped with an ultra-bright screen thanks to the illumination LED rear. The computer XPS M1330 is a truly compact, easy to transport. Just the right size for those seeking comfort. From there, we can choose three types of basic configurations, and within each, add a series of optional upgrades (this is a constant in all Dell PCs).

The biggest advantage of the Dell XPS M1330 is that it moves almost without feeling (just under 2 kg) but has a screen of 13.3 grateful. Combines mobility with comfort. All, with a style and futuristic juvenile court. In addition, you can adjust the power and equipment according to our needs. Whether a user of homespun, a professional who travels a lot or crazy for video games. In short, many possible configurations with the same design.

Its performance at the highest level not allows me to run at full capacity programs that normally use and that bothered me a little. So for nearly two months I was looking at all the possibilities of mid-priced laptop with fairly decent features that are not out of price. Should be a 13 ", reduced weight, preferably not more than 2.5 kg and for testing dual-core 64-bit versions of the newer system.

Modding the BIOS:

For this you will need a bootable USB disk. There are some mods available online that you can download directly. But this can be risky and destroy your system. You can also lose your warranty so do this only if extremely needed. Download original BIOS from Dell site and then create a Bootable usb disc. You will need to extract bios.gz from the zip file you will get. I think the name of file which you have to download M1330A15.EXE. It is recommended to format the usb drive under DOS mode. Then boot it from the same and type the command M1330A15 /readgzfile. Give Y for yes and then follow the screen instruction till the process is completed.

The SLIC Table modding make the necessary changes in your system. Most of them are illegal so beware before buying an OEM licensed system from my local dealer. If you can find any of these changes then you can simply avoid buying that:

Some FAQ for SLIC ;

Here I am posting some easy FAQ for the Slic table modding for Bios. You can go through each of them to get a much broader view on this topic. Basically you will find lots of guides and tutorials for hacking your BIOS and turning your pirated Windows to OEM version. My motive is to provide you information on the same so that you can avoid it. As you know pirated Windows are not stable and they are illegal copy.

While when you purchase any laptop or desktop you get the Genuine OEM version of Windows with that. But this will be also helpful for those who are buying the system in Second hand or with any local dealer.

Why to modified bios?

This question is easily answered. By changing some tables in the BIOS, will add SLIC Table 2.0 or 2.1 (2.0 to 2.1 for Vista and Win7 and Vista), which will make it its Windows Vista or Windows 7 version as easily as they can activate an OEM product and is therefore natural fully updateable. But the same is illegal and you are not recommended to do this.

Where is the advantage of this method over a Softmod ?

This is also easy to answer. A Softmod can be bypassed by an update from Microsoft and thus is the activation gone. The Bioshack is not as easy to overturn and thereby activate or deactivate the only way to have Windows permanently and without anger can. An additional advantage is that you can easily activate two Os's, that is Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Changes of Bios can do any changes my hardware settings or changing anything?

Short and said no, after the bios flash only a reset of the settings is necessary, but more on that later.

SLIC is 2.1 with all versions of Windows Vista and 7 Compatible?

Yes, with a 2.1, in Table in the BIOS Slic be any (with the exception of the Enterprise, so one is activated with a KMS server) Windows Vista and activate version 7 no matter whether Starter, Home Premium or any other, version (the so-called N versions cannot unlock it at the time because there is no OEM / SLP Keys).

Slic 2.0 and 2.1 are not in an 86x (32 bit) or a 64x (64bit) is bound and thus can be used for all Windows versions. (If one has a Slic Bios so you can activate any 32bit and 64bit version of Windows Vista / 7, with the exception of the Enterprise version)

Important things you must know : -

• Manufacturer of Motherboard
• Model
• Bios Revision
• Bios Type
• Bios (optional) SLIC
• Bios Download location

The BIOS files you get on the support website of your motherboard manufacturer. Should this not be the case, there are three tools with which it is running in Windows operation can save your bios. Cx Deposit files or Hotfile can make available for.

How can I check if I already have in the Bios SLIC 2.1?

With THAT (Slic Dump Toolkit) tool that's easy, as admin and start up right now should be 2.1 broadly, as in the example here. If you have SLIC2.1 is it at the point now part of the Windows. Some virus scanners detect the dump Toolkit as a Trojan. But this is not so, because the kit is a UPX packed containers as virus scanners do not know is how to open such a container, it reports heuristic results. In addition, the program is written in the Language and is (because of prejudices of the antivirus vendor) reported as a virus. Other reasons for the virus message, of course, the low interference of the tool kit in the system.

Can any bios with Slic Table will provide 2.1?

Theoretically yes, but there are always a few here and there a few exceptions, e.g. if the BIOS file too small and simply does not permit space for the new table. So one is forced other (not useful) modules to remove what circumstances, but under the Brick (EPROM bios chip flashed broken can result). But basically I am NOT a bios modding where Brick-risk one.

What do I need for a successful bios flash?

First support a floppy drive or a motherboard to boot from a USB stick. An OEM / SLP key (below) and a certificate from the same manufacturer as the SLIC in the BIOS 2.1 version (also below). Some motherboards have a BIOS setting Flash BIOS Protection, Firmware Write Protect, BIOS Guardian or BIOS-ROM Flash Protect, which we previously granted set to disabled must be at the BIOS successfully flashed to can.

During the current or flashing DO NOT remove the USB stick. While of flashing the PC should be restarted by itself after some time a beep sounds and an error by itself, do not worry this is normal. The USB stick can now be removed incidentally. Now go into your bios need (for me it is calling for Del, but that is different for each board) and then select the option Load default settings, Save & Exit. Now the PC will restart again and it's done, your BIOS is now equipped with SLIC 2.1. Should not it be so or not at all until the PC starts please follow these instructions. But we are not finished yet, still missing since the OEM information. In each chopped Bios offer all should find the things you need. Say the certificate and will usually include the Flash tool. If I do not have the needed extra things again linked in the thread.

Here's a little hint to those of you who are not so experienced yet, as perhaps some other users. Should anything go wrong during a flash process, it can lead to serious hardware defects. If so once something happens, like the head in the sand not. Most Asus boards have built-in recovery function and other motherboard manufacturers have almost all the bios chip (EPROM) and develop a new substitute

Windows Vista OEM Activation is Cracked by Patching SLIC BIOS

There is a new way developed to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation by installing OEM version of Vista on your PC. So you must be aware that which version you are getting for your money. However, Windows Vista OEM activation needs a new table named SLIC in ACPI module of computer BIOS, and new values in RSTD table, as part of SLP 2.0 (System-Locked Preinstallation). If your motherboard or BIOS ACPI module does not contains the SLIC table, the cracker will need to modify or patch the BIOS to add in the table, plus set to correct OEM ID and OEM Table ID that matches the corresponding OEM digital certificate. After modification, the cracker can install Windows Vista with OEM product key and has Windows Vista Instantly activated without the need to activate online, as if your Vista system is OEM version. This fools most of the user and many innocent users are not aware about the same. That comes preinstalled in branded computer Such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and etc.

Advantage of SLIC

The activation process for version 2.1 OEM SLP operates much like OEM SLP 2.0 activation. Microsoft has not made any change in technology for activation, in fact the only change is the version "Windows Marker" from 2.0 to 2.1. Even the digital certificate, which xrm-ms extension, signed by Microsoft with a public key OEM SLIC (0 × 9C bytes), a private key and an OEMID the SLIC table is unchanged.

The second part of the SLIC table, Windows Marker (0xB6 bytes) was created and signed with the OEMTableID and OEMID with the private key corresponding to public key OEM SLIC. OATools released by Microsoft, now requires version 2.1, is therefore changed the binary format. Comes without saying that it will require a new solution for OEM activation of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will accept both formats Windows Marker (OA OA version 2.0 and version 2.1), but not vice verse.

The advantage of SLIC is that if you have an old motherboard then you can flash the BIOS and install an OEM version of Windows. But I am not sure whether it is possible to buy the same.

Currently there are three versions SLP:

• SLP 1.0 used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2008
• SLP 2.0 used by Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
• SLP 2.1 uses Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
• To make and authenticate OEM activation there are three criteria to be met:
• SLIC table BIOS that matches the version of Windows
• Certificate (OEM xrm-ms) that corresponds with the OEMID and OEMTableID (Windows Marker), the SLIC table
• A product key OEM-SLP

CHECK THE BIOS FOR THE ACTIVATION OF SLIC OEM

For that you will need SLIC Toolkit V3.2. Start the program by double click the executable SLIC_Toolkit_v3.2.exe, we move in section Basic and verify the information in section SLIC dump from memory. The screen will show exactly SLIC BIOS in our possession. The manufacturers of motherboards released BIOS updates for the form of data files that can be installed only by starting the computer in MS-DOS. Do not forget to update the same.

How to Detect Pirated Windows on your System

Microsoft announced the launch of an update containing a new security feature that helps to detect more than 70 exploits that allow you to use an illegal copy of the operating system and notify Microsoft in this case. The biggest change in this update is the addition of a new code designed to detect hacks or exploits common enabling a software pirate bypass Windows activation. According to Joe Williams, general manager of Windows Genuine program, the upgrade will detect more than 70 potentially dangerous threats.

The biggest change in this update is the addition of a new code designed to detect hacks or exploits common enabling a software pirate bypass Windows activation. For Windows 7 Microsoft have announced the release of a patch to update the Windows Activation Technologies, better known as WAT. According to the official announcement may counteract the effects of more than seventy known vulnerabilities that can open a gap in the activation system. The existing illegal activation systems do work such that it is possible to update pirated copies of Windows 7 via Windows Update Service, one of many distribution channels that have the patch.

Microsoft's patch will maintain a passive stance against the pirated copy. Only the user merely informs through advertisements and a watermark on the desktop, as we explained in Redmond, could be a victim of counterfeiting. The operating system will not have a state of reduced functionality as happened in the past, but the patch is likely to seek ways to warn (and burden) to the user with ads. The problem is knowing with certainty how it will react to patch some of the methods of activation. In many of these methods the boot operating system (boot loader) is replaced by another to emulate the conditions necessary for activation, but if the boot loader is removed or replaced incorrectly, few users will find a completely useless .

[Paul]

Still, the Pirates will have the advantage that the patch is completely optional. It will appear as important Windows Update, and not as critical. The patch is available on Windows Update later this month. The fight against piracy affects not only the world of music or movies, but proprietary software is one of the sectors suffering most illegal copies. At this level, we can also say that Windows has always been susceptible to being hacked and copied with ease, and so, Microsoft has announced a new antipiracy system that detects more than 70 exploits or Windows 7 activators used to skip anti-copy system from Microsoft.

The new system is called Windows Activation Technologies (WAT) and will be released under a Windows Update later this month. According to Microsoft, most activators and crack for Windows 7 that are posted on the Internet contain a multitude of viruses and Trojans demolish the company's efforts to provide a secure system. Microsoft has also held that WAT may be set up voluntarily to determine whether the copy of Windows 7 is legal or illegal. In the latter case, the system will not block Windows 7, but just to flood the Desktop dialog box informing that the copy is false and will add a permanent watermark.

Conclusion :

Application developers have to constantly create convenient application with high speed and attractive appearance. Based on advanced technology applications significantly increase the user experience and allow companies to provide their own solutions and services on the background of competing offerings. At the same time from the developers increasingly demand to improve efficiency and reduce development time while increasing the performance of applications and expanding their opportunities. Windows 7 platform offers developers familiar tools and opportunities to simplify the creation of attractive, user-friendly applications that can fully exploit the potential PC.

But on the same hand you must also be aware about what you are using. Many smart sellers might not tell you that what version of Windows you are using right now and it is possible that in future you might get affected with this.
