personally i wouldn’t use any other dumps from other boards that are not yours. not sure if it’s an issue for KBL machines but for CFL (10th gen) you get more problems such as iGPU issues etc. stick with your dumps and you’ll be fine.
there’s a way to unlock the flash descriptor using the pinmod (shorting two pins on the board) method, but I haven’t found out which pins they are. at least one other person has successfully managed to use this method for the 9360, so if they’re reading this please feel free to show a screenshot of the pin(s) to be shorted
The only thing is that I couldn’t even figure out how to get coreboot onto my machine! Is it a UEFI install? External on a flash drive? Do I have to manually flash a chip?
Therefore I was hoping for someone who already has and uses coreboot, to FD unlock my BIOS dump and re-upload it to somewhere. Would pay for it for saving me the headache
You can compile (or download) the ifd binary for coreboot on any machine. You will need to know how to use git and make to clone the repo and make the binary. Alternatively if you have dumped the ROM, send it to me and I’ll do it for you
Thank you jkbuha. I would really appreciate if you could unlock the Flash Descriptor your end! It would save me a proper 3-4 hours of understanding the whole GitHub procedure
I do have the flasher already and the test clip waiting for me after finishing my bike trip! Can’t wait to finally get the full performance out of my machine and SSD!
Here is the link to the extracted ROM (which I managed to extract from the chip thanks to your tutorial using CLOVER EFI and FPT). I made 5 copies which were all identical in MD5.
