Very usefull info, thank you a lot, this post will make things easier for a lot of people.i started a topic for ppl interested in modding their l502x bios in notebookreview.com.we didint went as far as you, but there are some ppl interested there.consider visit this topic if you wantrelating the flashing method, it may work with winflash.exe, I did some research there and flashed the origianl bios file manually (.wph format, but rom format may work too)however, getting a recovery method would help to keep us away from getting our beloved laptops away from the brick status. Hi!I'm also really interested in this. I'm more or less at the same stage as you are. I have a Dell Vostro 3750 laptop which also has the Phoenix SecureCore Tiano BIOS.

Somehow it's unable to boot from GPT disks, so fixing this is my main goal, but i'm interested in the hidden menu part too. Also, enabling the UEFI shell or something like that would be very nice. Let me know if I can help you with anything.So it looks like there.is. actually an EFI shell embedded in the bios, in the file C57AD6B7-0515-40A8-9D54E37.957.rom (in my version).

You can see the original filename (Shell.efi) in C57AD6B7-0515-40A8-9D54E372957.rom. (, 08:39 PM)nextor Wrote: Hi!I'm also really interested in this.

A lot of the answerers before me brought up some interesting things, however they did not fully answer the question. The answer is YES, it is possible to install Mac OS X on virtually any machine that is powerful enough and compatible enough. Install Mac OS X On A Dell by robert on December 22, 2007. Q: I have a Dell desktop computer with Windows XP and Internet Explorer, an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and a 250 GB hard drive. I would like to format my hard drive and install Mac OS X. Is it possible? If so, how can I do it?

There's a lot of work going on at the moment in some other forums, so let me try and summarize the work that's been done so far:1) We are able to directly modify a 15/15z BIOS file (EXE or WPH file) with the PhoenixDell tool, but not using the Universal BIOS Backup program.

Although it's the only tool to dump the VBIOS, it seems to be doing it incompletely.2) The VBIOS can be replaced, but so far we seem to be doing it incorrectly. My suspicion is on the names of the files themselves (eg: F33E367F.ROM) as they seem to be referencing absolute addresses in ROM. I don't have all the tools at my disposal, but I can do a binary comparison (fc.exe /b old.wph new.wph) of the original+patched ROMs, and in the original locations I get 'FF FF FF FF FF.' Compared where the patched file VBIOS location is.

This almost definitely means we are patching the BIOS in the wrong address.3) The CRISIS recovery seems to work but if I understand correctly the battery needs to be removed and re-inserted. This presents an added problem for the 15z as the battery is non-removable and so needs to be dismantled!4) There seem to be a few people in other topics/forums who have clearly achieved more progress though in a slightly different direction. We should probably speak with whomever has worked on the Dell N5110 as this is most closely related to our hardware (even has a GT-525M) and possibly get more insight.5) It would be really good if we could speak to the Ahmed Hosam (moderator) to share some of his insight on this, as we're definitely close but missing some very basic steps, and I'm sure he'll be able to point us in the right direction!Cheersjkbuha.

Or the original one from the wph file?I think you got it from a dump cause it doesnt match with the ones extracted from the wph file.edit: got a minute to analyze your list, I am interested on two files for the momentDellSplashLogoDxe.efi (to edit the splash logo)ComputraceDxe.efi (to remove it, since it acts a bit like a trojan, send info of your computer as far I know, and I dont want to have it on my bios, I think it is used only used by some companies to trace a stolen computer, however I didnt paid that service, so I dont need to have a trojan running on my computer allways).

It's pretty easy: the dumped files are organized in groups, and one of the files has the real filename inside it. Like this:17B3485F-9B3F-49A5-94BD-EAE249200C0601040 Don't know what this is17B3485F-9B3F-49A5-94BD-EAE249200C0611040 Contains real executable (Starts with MZ)17B3485F-9B3F-49A5-94BD-EAE249200C0621040 No idea17B3485F-9B3F-49A5-94BD-EAE249200C0631040 Contains real filename (ComputraceDxe.efi)I think there has to be some easier way to edit the logo than disassembling the whole BIOS. WinFlash has a 'Replace logo with' field in the advanced menu, not sure if it works though.
