That’s another great tool by Gkend, created to easily add a SLIC table to an existing AMI Bios.
I will go more into details the upcoming days; however blow you will find a preview of it
The tool was used by Gkend to modify bios for other people, since he has not much time he decided to make it public.
This tool will automatically revise your Bios (add the SLIC), you can revise as much as you want.
How to use: (thanks to ztpkmn2006 for the English translation)
1. run mmtool.exe > click “LOAD ROM†button and load your original BIOS file.
2. in the module list(*or table) select 1B module > extract and save the file name as 1B.rom
3. run AMIOEMSLIC.exe > select 1b module file as 1B.ROM > select SLIC file as the OEM Brand you need > select your original BIOS file name and finally click “修改1b模嗔button (the “revise 1b module” button) ,then click “替æ¢åˆ°BIOS” ( “change to BIOS”)
4. and finished
(please take note to change your BIOS file’s read only attribute)

i saw this over there too. but i figured that there would be a lot a question to answer. maybe turn xbios or the other guys over in the bios mod department onto this.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:05 am
Apology for thick, this modyfies the AMI bin file? then u flash him back to chip? Wow
May 25th, 2007 at 9:39 am
that’s why i just keep it here, and don’t make a topic with it in the forum.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:09 am
so this involves modifying the BIOS? it can be dangerous
May 25th, 2007 at 10:35 am
very interesting this - and for Award Bios?
I hope that wil be possible as asoon as possible
Thanks
May 25th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

It would be nice if an English version were released.
May 27th, 2007 at 3:46 am
I am new to this thing. I do read the instruction provided. I am a bit blur. So, I haven`t use this tool yet.
Does the final product of this tool is a modded BIOS which I will need to flash it to my MOBO? Or just follow the instruction and the SLIC table is permanently added to the BIOS without the need to flash?
Thanks
May 27th, 2007 at 9:28 am
I am trying to modify (Intel) AMI BIOS with ‘AMI Bios Tool ‘ and the program is looking for a ‘.rom’ file. My bios file is in ‘.bio’ format. Is there a way to extract it to get the ‘1b.rom’ file or does it work with Intel ami bios ?
May 27th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Hi ,
How to save the AMI rom ???
Mine was AMI BIOS 3.15 TAKEN from hp website ..
My computer is :A1170D . FROM HP
They have an Bios Update which is an EXE application hence i don’t get the rom file :S Pls helpp
Thanks in advance
May 28th, 2007 at 12:05 am
After revise 1b, I get box chinese text look like - Dp Arse! - ok?
Is this good
May 28th, 2007 at 12:09 am
then get, on save bios button
E.EI
OaeuAIae>>1BA£?eu1/2BIOSIA1/4p£?
yes or no?
I click yes.
All seem ok. is this recogniseable behaviour to other ppls?
May 28th, 2007 at 1:21 am
I look in hexeditor, no change to amibios.rom file.
May 28th, 2007 at 1:23 am
gRANIA you could try using the program ‘uniflash’ to extract the bios rom file straight from your motherboard.
May 28th, 2007 at 7:06 am
ok, it works perfectly on my ecs pf5 amibios to insert slic & rsdt for any oem into the 1b.rom file. However whatever I do from then on, I can’t get the original bios rom file to change. readonly is unset. md5 does not change..
May 28th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
If AMIOEMSLIC.exe doesn’t update your original rom with the new 1b.rom file (it didn’t for me) just use the replace tab in mmtool. After I did that it worked perfectly for me.
May 28th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Irina - did you flash it to the chip & try it?
What you just suggested, did indeed work here.
I re-extracted the 1b.rom with mmtool from the modified bios file afterward, and it looks okay (to my untrained eye) in a hex editor.. I can see the slic in there.. and levono..
Dare I flash it in & try booting with it.
May 28th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
Same as Irina. Original bios rom file wouldnt change when pressing ‘change to BIOS’ button. I used the replace tab in mmtool tool and updated the bios that way. I flashed and rebooted with the updated bios, and it came up with an ACER SLIC table. Vista fully activated
May 29th, 2007 at 1:12 am
I flashed mine in. The motherboard is still alive and kicking. Vista is installing..
May 29th, 2007 at 1:52 am
Used Ultimate oem:slp key from Lenovo. Installed lenovo.xrm-ms to match Lenovo SLIC. Reboot > RFM/key invalid. Hmm. It was looking so good
May 29th, 2007 at 2:01 am
I try a different Ultimate OEM:SLP key. This time, error 0xC004E003 The software licensing service reported that license evaluation failed.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:05 am
No joy after a full reinstall 2nd try, everest mentions ACPI nor SLIC anywhere, I guess that means I cocked up somewhere early, or else it fails on my BIOS
May 29th, 2007 at 6:12 am
Retried with original mmtool, not the one suggested in the chinese forum a few posts after the original. Used acer slic. slic & rsdt definitely get incorporated into bios. flashed, rebooted - everest now shows everything roughly where it should be in acpi. loaded acer xrm-ms, still no joy. tried different ult key, still no joy. Giving up 4 now. So near yet so far.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Weird. Loaded XP 32bit on the PF5, Everest says that there is a SLIC table in ACPI, and it shows acer info, but ACPIScope shows no SLIC table anywhere at all. Something cranky with my BIOS then.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
@cm: Most of Acer SLIC floating arround have a error at offset 9h. If there is a “47″ checksum you have to correct it to “00″ or insert the right one “CD”.
Agnoia
May 29th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
I forgot: This auto tool does not work with all AMI bioses.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
But it seems odd it does absolutely everything it should.. except activate. I think 75% I’m messing up somewhere - maybe that offset 9h - or 25% mine’s an oddball BIOS.. I shall keep banging away at it. Thanks for the info!
SLICv….GACRS
53 4C 49 43 76 01 00 00 01 -47- 41 43 52 53
A-HA…. That ‘G’ you mean?
He should be
SLICv….ÃACRS
53 4C 49 43 76 01 00 00 01 -CD- 41 43 52 53
?
I [i]thought[/i] that looked odd
May 29th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Yes, now it´s right. If you have more questions, please ask.
Agnoia
May 29th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
BTW: The ultimate Key ****-932CC is the right one.
May 29th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
I took Irina’s advice and it worked! I compared the pre and post mod BIOS and the ROM location, source size and %% all changed upon hitting the replace tab. Now to try this on my pc and hope for the best.
May 30th, 2007 at 1:39 am
Now this is very very weird. It worked but I must have got the procedure wrong somewhere because it kinda went crazy at the end.
I looked into acer.bin and as Agnoia suspected, byte 9h was 47. So I changed it to CD as suggested.
I re-ran mmtool, loaded the original ECS PF5 BIOS ROM.
Extracted 1B.ROM & checked it’s MD5
I then used gkend’s tool to apply the modified acer.bin to 1B.ROM
Rechecked 1B.ROM MD5, verified it had changed. Examined 1B.ROM in a hexeditor & saw that the slic had been incorporated with the CD byte.
Used mmtool to reload the original BIOS ROM, and the modified 1B.ROM, and used the replace tab to apply the modified 1B.ROM to the BIOS ROM. Saved the BIOS ROM.
Reflashed the modified BIOS ROM to the motherboard - no problems.
Installed Vista 64 bit RTM build 6000 MSDN with *.932CC Ult key to one SATA HDD partitioned with one single primary partion. No network connection present.
Initial boot into OS went okay - showing 30 days for activation. Turned UAC off. System requested reboot. Rebooted.
System rebooted direct into RFM; “The code you typed is invalid for activation”.
Took the option to access PC in RFM.
Typed “file://C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe” into IE address bar. Couple of groans and moans from OS, but got CMD prompt.
Did
CD\
A:\
copy acer.xrm-ms c:\
C:
slmgr.vbs -ilc acer.xrm-ms
Rebooted
STILL in RFM
“Type a new code” — I just retyped *.932cc
Seemed to be happy with that - but lower right corner, “NOT GENUINE”
Rebooted. Suddenly everything hunky dory. Genuine.
Agnoia & Irina you are DA MEN
May 30th, 2007 at 2:15 am
Updated 100%, rebooted a bagful of times & stomped all over the Genuine Windows site. Still alive and kicking.
May 30th, 2007 at 2:17 am
I wonder which version of the BIOS mod he is incorporating in this - i.e. is it the dynamic one that allows for memory stick changes without problems. I only have the one stick of memory so I can’t check that, maybe someone with more hardware available can try a few changes & reboots to see what happens.
May 30th, 2007 at 5:59 am
Finally I reflashed the BIOS back to standard and operated the clear CMOS jumper. Rebooted into Vista and.. still activated!
It didn’t survive a second reboot though. Second reboot with standard BIOS, >>> RFM
May 30th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
Gkends method provided with that tool is RAM independent!

I have a question, does this slic inserter replace existing bios offsets? or does it add itself into empty space… I am concerned about replacing offsets in my bios.

Hi
Looks good! Very useful, good stuff. Good resources here. Thanks much!

Before using this cool tool I would know if in fujitsu SLIC table is 9th bit “D7″ correct? And if I correct to “00″ what is the difference?
August 18th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
