Kino Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just to reply to myself that may be useful to someone else: I asked on an italian forum to someone who has just received his P150SM with a 8970m for his vBIOS version and he has the same bios as me (0.15.032.000.003.044465 (BR44465.003))So... I won't risk updating the vBIOS of my GPU since newer ones are not proven to work on Enduro setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluke@inphtech Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Please let me also know how it ends with your laptop Nothing, @Prema sent me the files for recovery mode, but the mobo died.. tried everything Well having my laptop for 4 days and having to go for warranty sucks a lot :'( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 @joluke yeah, hundreds are already using the new P37xSM Mod without a problem and so far I heard of only two cases incl. You who had difficulties. I tried all day to brick a system, but I am unable to replicate the scenario...comparing component configurations atm... On a side note: In case your re-seller acts up on you we can always recover any system by sending you a fresh chip (provided it's a BIOS/ME and not an EC or hardware issue).

And it's weird but I suspect one of the graphic cards is dead... Since it is on warranty, I'm gone drop it in the store, still waiting for an answer from them. Thanks a lot my friend, I'll keep you updated. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluke@inphtech Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Got an answer from the store and gave them my full address to pickup the laptop. RMA it is... and they advised me to flash this custom BIOS (Prema's) to enjoy the laptop to its maximum... simply it is weird because they said more clients told that the BIOS flashed pretty well and i was the only one who had trouble with it... Serious business hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 WTF! Maybe I should add a banner: "Recommended by Clevo, to unlock it's full potential"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought LOL The advice came from my friend not the store.. Of course.. They (clevo) would not approve this behaviour for sure.

bauto601 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 EDIT: I was a bit frustrated, but my reseller also picked the laptop up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluke@inphtech Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well, my reseller is a dickhead if i compare it to your reseller.... Well I'm separated from the store for about 250km and still they arranged everything so that I would pay the minimum for the delivery of the laptop Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pender666 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Prema, does your bios for P375SM has the video drivers built for uefi mode?I'm asking because your boot logo is in low res and the windows boot logo too.Dual nvidia 780m here!Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Set OS to Win 8.1 and UEFI to enabled, only then it will use the BGRT boot logo during Windows boot up sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pender666 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 But to use Windows 7 in uefi shouldn't I sett uefi mode to others? Or can I change to 8.1 and still run win7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Win 7 doesn't support the BGRT boot logo the regular way.For Win 7 set OS to "Win 7" and "UEFI" to enabled, then in "CSM" section set "Launch Video OpROM policy" to "UEFI" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pender666 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Set OS to Win 8.1 and UEFI to enabled, only then it will use the BGRT boot logo during Windows boot up sequence. Where can I change OS to win 7? In uefi I can choose others and windows 8.1 only Edit: no need, setting the video oprom policy to uefi only worked!!!

Guest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah "others" includes Win 7, sorry for not being clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Did you follow this Tutorial?: Tutorials | Prema ModGuess that's how Clevo made them...Oh, you said in the other thread that my EC values were probably broken so i thought flashing your BIOS would help. But your silent mode seems identical to the stock BIOS values...I guess you cant change when the turbo fan kicks in/turns off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluke@inphtech Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 @Prema Sent my laptop today to RMA. Will keep you updated of what happened with it, it is really weird.. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobi Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hello, my first message to this forum! I bought a rebranded Clevo P370SM3 and started to update the BIOS to Prema's. I downloaded it from his site and followed the instructions. After i keyed "step2" few things happened: - There was text in some phase reading something like: pdr region does not exist gpr? region does not exist (not sure wast gpr or gbr) -Upon updating the EC, it says following: Project name: P375SM??? Is this ok to continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yep! "pdr region does not exist gpr? region does not exist" These are optional parts of the ME Firmware that are not used on these models! As for the EC2 ID. Clevo originally planed to only use it for the additional light control on the P375SM model, but later decided to include extended keyboard light functionality on P370SMx, too. (It is also mentioned in the readme that this is normal and has to be confirmed with "YES") These are the new functions (need to update hotkey driver to 8.0124 or later): Add 3-zone light control for backlight keyboard Fn + keypad “7” key to control left zone light Fn + keypad “8” key to control middle zone light Fn + keypad “9” key to control right zone light Add Fn + keypad “5” key to control touchpad light function Here the new Hotkey Apps: Win 8.1: ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/P1xxSM/OTHERS/Hotkey_W81.zip Win8: ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/P1xxSM/OTHERS/Hotkey.zip ENJOY the Mod!

Back online and back to updating BIOS. It finished flawlessly! Thank you Prema! No doubt, with every install of your BIOS, you spread a little bit (alot!) of happiness all around the world! Keep up the good work! So, how does one change the boot screen? Could you do it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuraL Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks a lot Prema!Just a simple question. I brought my laptop from an Italian builder, they load a custom BIOS, but the barebone is P150SM. Can I flash flawlessy the stock Clevo bios on the laptop?
