Hi! I have a HP Mini 110-4100 with bios Insyde F.01 version. The problem is the bios has locked 64 bit and thus I’m not being able to run x64 programs. The bios might be RSA signed(it’s from January 2012 and Andy’s phoenixtool prints Decrypted at the very beginning. Insyde H20EzE can’t even recognize it as Insyde bios and UEFITool ends with error “not a single top Volume found, the image may be corrupted”. Can someone please help me how to do this? I just need to know how to get around the RSA signature problem. Because I’d love to do it myself and learn about the process. So if anyone kindly helps me, could you also tell me all how-to steps and what is happening?
F.01 bios link (https)://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55501-56000/sp55712.exe
I’m not allowed to post links, sorry. Just remove the brackets
Thanks,
Alif
P.S @Lost_N_BIOS , please help me. Nobody is seeing my post
Please reply someone. I need help badly. I managed to stop the RSA checking process. And the only thing I need it to get 64 bit support on this Netbook. Please help me. Looks like someone in the bios mods forum succeeded in doing it. But it is for AMI bios. How can I do the same for Insyde?h***s://***.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-REQUE…pc-1025C?page=2
Okay I found my solution. If Insyde bios, just updates your microcode. There is the update for Atom N2600 in the jetway download server. Just apply it to your bios
Update, it didn’t work. I tried flashing it today and found it can’t boot into x64. Can anyone please have a look at it? I beg you all!!!

@Lost_N_BIOS , it would be soo great if you or someone actually replied (I found in the group rules to mention you in the post if nobody replies)
Latest bios version is F.08 Rev
you should also get this update for your TSST optical drive firmware
I am pretty sure you can update your v10.1.0.1008 intel management engine’s firmware from here
Even if you will be able to do what are trying to do,all the support is for 32bit windows as i can see from support page.meaning you may not be able to find proper drivers for 64bit.possibility on the paper at least.and specs says 1GB RAM expandable to 2GB,dont even bother with 64bit windows nor 64bit apps.4gb and below ram is best for windows 32bit.
I recommend updating bios,adding another 1gb ram (if you have not already) and using linux (manjaro,mint for example,something with familiar user interface and able to run windows apps which also needs less resources) or stick to windows 7 (but linux will be alot faster) and ssd (specs says up to 320gb)
EzH2O v2.1.0.13? well i did take a look at the bios and its in bin format

Thank you sir!! @onuracengiz
Oh! You don’t know how happy I am to see someone reply. But there’s a thing. When I try to dump bios using flashrom, it gives me a bad output. I opened up the dumped bios.rom and found many malicious info there(even the name of my USB was included with very odd bytes and clean texts “Google, Mozilla in it”, If you want to see it, I will obviously send it to you) I tried to backup the rom file from insyde flash, but it is also bad. The only valid solution I saw is to use the .DEC file from Andy’s Phoenix tool. Don’t worry…I have HW SPI programmer if anything goes wrong
Here is my dumped bios versions F.01, F.02, F.08 using modified platform.ini
https://drive.google.com/file/d/17axyKdE…iew?usp=sharing (F.01)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hNXUhqG…iew?usp=sharing (F.02)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ij1G9MY…iew?usp=sharing (F.08)
The bios locks 64bit instruction, and many more regardless the versions…F.08, F.02 or F.01
I have upgraded to 4GB DDR3 (that’s the maximum this thing can take). But if you ask me, I don’t care about the lack of windows 64 bit drivers because I mostly use linux on this, and this is more of my favourite development platform than a day-to-day windows netbook
The error is, whatever mod I try for this, the result is always the same. The kernel requires a x86_64 CPU but only detected an i686 CPU. Please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU (Linux)
And Windows 64 bit present a even bigger error that simply says my CPU doesn’t support x86_64. Many people succeeded with AMI bios like the above link for ASUS 1025C with exact same hardware.

Somebody did this on HP Mini with same hardware…I re-posted both the links

For researching around, I could find the way to blow off RSA protection from BIOS and unlocked an feature unnecessary for me in this hardware (VT-X, MSR 0x3A unlock, my heartiest thanks to @Code Rush). But didn’t get the main thing I’m looking for. Can you please help me unlocking 64 bit, or suggest someone who can help?
Thanks again,
Alif
there was no problem with andy’s tool nor slic, it performes succesfully
no need for slic anyway
That’s what I was telling…since you can now look into the binary, can you locate something that is locking 64 bit support? After decrypting, I can load the bios in UEFITool and InsydeH20 EzE without any problems
if you have updated to rev8,stick with it and its dump
nope,and thats the problem.i will take another look,its long as you can guess 
https://github.com/mikebdp2/insydeH20-ad…-settings-tools
PhoenixTool v2.73
I have the latest version of bios (F.08 Rev), and I have sent the dump to you in my previous post. Well, that link relates to IFR, and I have extracted the whole IFR of the setup utility, found nothing such as "Long mode" or "EM64T" or "64 bit". And the way the ASUS bios was modded by editing MSR 0x122, this is Intel TSX, and how is this related to Intel 64 bit mode? And how to enable 64 bit in my insyde bios, this is my question for now
you mean [MSR 0x122] |= 3;
then leaving empty the (NOP) part in that piece of code in bios. well i saw that.
Yeah, but I don’t think it is the same in Insyde. There’s some other gimmicks around this bios. Moreover, I got to know that Insyde is UEFI based solution. That means it is a UEFI bios with all disabled features. More exploring with IFR and I found that there is UEFI Boot option but it is disabled. There is even option for Virtualization but I have enabled it by modding MSR 0x3A. But both of these are unnecessary for me, I just need 64 bit. I couldn’t find any piece of code similar to the MSR 0x122 in ASUS 1025C. In linux, if I try
#rdmsr 0xC0000080(IA32-EFER, the MSR for reading about 64 bit mode)
800 (I don’t know what does it mean by yhe value 800)
#rdmsr 0x3a (VT-x msr)
(before mod)9, (after mod), 5
The best part is, you can load this bios binary perfectly in InsydeH2O EzE or UEFITool after decryption in PhoenixTool…
not all have it but yes.UEFI is not necessary but a good to have.virtualization on the other hand even less so.you should make a guide about things like that for people who might need it
i am doing some reading from intel developer zone about Intel TSX,looks like a dead end though
"Intel® TSX provide two software interfaces to specify regions of code for transactional execution.
HLE is a legacy-compatible instruction set extension (comprising the XACQUIRE and XRELEASE prefixes) to specify transactional regions. HLE is for programmers who prefer the backward compatibility of the conventional mutual-exclusion programming model and would like to run HLE-enabled software on legacy hardware, but would like to take advantage of new lock elision capabilities on hardware with HLE support"
and Intel says Intel Atom® Processor N2600 64bit is supported
Intel Processor Identification Utility
This HLE looks suspicious. MSR 0x122 part is available, but very differently. And I have a guide to post it here and on other forums after I get 64 bit, I will write it as newbie-friendly as possible
Hi! just an update…I tested on 2 64 Bit machines to know how do they respond to this MSR 0xC0000080. Regardless of the CPU, all of them responded with the same result.
#rdmsr 0xC0000080
d01(On my desktop(AMD) and my friend’s laptop(Intel i7)
But when I try same thing with the netbook,
#rdmsr 0xC0000080
800(I have told you that earlier, again writing for relevancy)
Further reading and I found that this MSR is not CPU specific(I thought it was implemented on only Intel CPUs, not AMD). But this is used on not only Intel 64 but also on AMD processors. And this is the MSR which is read and written for 64bit mode. Since the netbook can read and show output from it, EM64T is implemented here too but then disabled by some malicious code from the manufacturer.
So I think it is at least possible to unlock 64 bit here, since it is actually implemented but blocked
similar tech with different coding so i was expecting it to work for all.again our problem is on coding,or should i say finding the right entry
Yeah I think so. Thanks a lot for your efforts. And do you know how the IDA entry info is made easy? I see some people here with IDA Pro with much easier to understand entries than what I usually find (I see sub_locXXXX, Whereas others like Code Rush has them like call, efi boot services; or like ebp [HpPpi2]). Is there any structure file from which I can parse and load the structures in IDA?
did you find any possible outcomes? or did you find some clue?
Now I’m getting fed up with this Insyde BIOS menu. Is there a way to port a different bios to a similar different laptop possibly by changing EC firmwares and stuff like that? Like can I use the CedarRock BLDK codebase by changing the Ncpe791 firmware with the ITE firmware in BIOS? Again, did you find any clue about the EM64T entry in the Insyde Binary? Can anyone help me?
Hey, I don’t know if you remember about this request or not, I found something very suspicious. At first I tried
#rdmsr 0x122
3
Here it is 3, so it is also similarly blocked like the ASUS 1025C. I started hunting for this 0x122 msr and found two files very suspicious. I am attaching these if in case you want to have a look at them…It would be great if someone fines some more suspicious entries of 0x122 in the BIOS file, these entries are very difficult to find for me in IDA Pro(I’m IDA noob)
#BIOS (F.08) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ij1G9MY…iew?usp=sharing

#module 2 (PchIntPeim PEI Module) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cA8vaia…iew?usp=sharing
To be noted, just like the last BIOS, this also have this same MSR at these two locations. I know there could be more. But I’m taking these as a starting point.
Can anyone please help me modding insyde? Are you there @Lost_N_BIOS ?
