Unlock Hidden Tabs in Dell Inspiron 5737/3537/3737/5537 and Vostro 2521 Insyde bios.


Recommended Posts

Hello guys!

 

I'm trying to update the BIOS of my friends' Inspiron 5537 to post here for mod, but the flasher doesn't proceed to flash because the battery of laptop isn't charging anymore. Everytime I changed the field "batterychek=1" to "batterycheck=0" on file "platform.ini", the flasher changes its value to 1 again e ask for a charged battery. How can I bypass this?

Hi!

Post here or send me your file "platform.ini" , I can take a look.

Thanks!

 

I've getting an error to upload files here. I'll post the full content of the "platforms.ini".
 

No, just upload your file "platforms.ini" into any fileserver (for example https://www.sendspace.com ) and post the link.

I think that there is an instruction inside the EXE flasher's code that verifies the content of "platforms.ini"

 

Discovered!

 

The flasher really generates the file "platforms.ini". If that file doesn't exists on folder, the flasher creates the file itself. I tried to use a "generic" Insyde flasher and the cenario is the same. If I rename your "platform.ini" as "platforms.ini", the flasher substituts your "modded" one :(

No, you need to rename my modded "platforms.ini" to "platform.ini".

 

1. Delete the files you copied over from the temp folder. 

2. do the steps to create the temp folder again, but before copying them go to View settings in File Explorer and turn on "show hidden files"

3. copy all the files from the temp folder to another location again.

***NOTE: mine did not contain a platform.ini, only a platforms.ini

4. copy the platforms.ini and rename the copied one to platform.ini (no "s") but keep the "s" one as well.

5. open up platform.ini and change the batterycheck to 0 (DO NOT DO IN THE platforms.ini file)

6. run the insydeflash.exe as administrator

Worked!

 

You are the best!

Hi!

You can post here or send me your file backup of bios.  For creating backup of bios you can use attached backup tool. Extract attached archive directly on the Desktop and run  backup tool as Administrator (right click mouse, choice "Run as Administrator). Backup tool will create archive "results" directly on the Desktop. Post here or send me this archive "results" via PM, or upload it into any fileserver and send me the link.
