Did I missed something? Is there an official A08 M18X R2 unlocked bios now with latest IRST OROM? How about getting brand new M18X R2 with A08 bios in it and getting this unlocked bios flashed over this stock A08? Thanks!

I will watch the space here prior placing order for 3940xm to see if any progress of A08 unlock and flashing on to A08 stock with unlocked A08 comes to success keep up the great work man, highly appreciated!

best idea is get bios programmer and spare bios chip and then just swap-solder the chip

Alright, I totally understand that, its ours responsibility to test things out Thanks

I have accidentaly double clicked on A08 bios windows executable with my wanky mouse button over 2m previous strokes before I know it I see it runs reboot and bios upgrade executable in DOS... after all I did not have to go change from RAID back to ACHI, all settings remained while giving me A08 version now, everything worked, fewer options from A07 to A08 in boot options but bar that its all same, nothing got improved after update.. wonder if its worth reordering new M18X with 3940xm if there shall be no unlocked bios any more for A08...? slv7 what do you think will A08 be hackable for sure or do I just go ahead with 3840QM..? EDIT: noticed you have Unlocked A08 bios now available in first page, but question is have you got any reports anybody with stock A08 that flashed to unlocked A08 with success? Thanks

I would if I wouldnt be returning my M18X R2 for exchange/refund ... undecided yet... however great work svl7 !!! REP+++

very cool, I would be interested to try few questions: What are the chances of failure...? I hope very slim to none Did you add the very latest 11.6xxx IRST OROM? For warranty purposes, how smooth should flashback be to stock A07 after? Would they be able to tell by checking if it was flashed to unlocked bios before or not when in case I return it to them for warranty purposes? I know you cant be held responsible for any faults or side effects, but just asking for an opinion BR

alright man, done FileSend - Alienware-A07.7z hope to hear great news soon regarding this BIOS, really looking forward getting newest IRST version in it too

i will extract mine behold coming this evening

one fellow in earlier post in this thread has posted A07 readed rom file if its any use to start hacking it... ? Alienware-A07.rom

Hi guys, I also have M18X R2 with A07 on it, but sadly it came with exact same old version of IRST OROM 11.0.xxxxx same as A03 version... hope all mighty svl7 can make his magic to this BIOS too
