xehqter Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) The SLP Strings for Gateway CRC set A04597C6 are ‘Gateway’ and ‘Gateway, Inc’I think multiple SLP entries refer to the number of different locations the string could be located. Here’s a partial list for gateway (CSI is on), I tested a few of them and they worked. Ohh and the region scanned is E000:0000 - F000:FFFF not F000:0000 - F000:FFFFThese are the 32Bit addresses.000fe840 = F000:E840 (16bit address)... Censured myself never know how that data could be used. Edited September 22, 2006 by xehqter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the addresses you listed are valid and some are not.The actual region scanned is whatever the set specifies. The A04597C6 set searches through 2 256B regions and 21 32B regions. Since the regions are specified as 16 bit addresses any set that searches both the E000 and F000 offsets will have the same string listed twice (000EFFFF+1=000F0000 but E000:FFFF+1=E000:0000).

xehqter Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 @BezalelGuess I’ll dig deeper into MGADiag’s code because the results you’re describing are different then mine. Sounds like you’ve been down this road before, any hint’s you’d like to throw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) @BezalelGuess I’ll dig deeper into MGADiag’s code because the results you’re describing are different then mine. Sounds like you’ve been down this road before, any hint’s you’d like to throw?The OEMBIOS sets contain records protected by multiple methods of encryption and validated with mutiple signatures. I'm not going to explain how it is encrypted or post the unencrypted records. Instead I will post the records from one of the sets with the SLP string masked.fe00,0010,7,XXXXXf000,ff00,0100,XXXXXf000,8000,6000,XXXXXf000,0000,FFFF,XXXXXEach entry represents a range to search in and a string to search for (in this case all the strings are the same). There exist versions of this set with only the first 2 and 3 entries. I beleive that the first entry contains an entry error (Offset FE00) and no systems were produced with just the first entry. You can see from this example that manufacturers just append information to existing sets so their newer sets would still work on older systems.

Siginet Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) I went ahead and made some Integrator Addons for xehqter's OEMScan utility. Here is where you can get some. http://siginet.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61 Edited September 25, 2006 by Siginet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeStyler Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) OEMScan v1.21http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=82638Validates the OEMBIOS.BIN/SIG/DAT files against the .CAT file before copying. If they're mismatched it won't copy them over.Copies OEMBIOS.BIN/DAT/SIG to DllCacheMany thanks to severach for the help.Shouldn't OEMBIOS.CAT be copied to DLLCache as well? i believe DLLCache directory holds all 4 files, at least it does after a clean install using my original XP discedit, **** wrong topic [fs] Edited September 27, 2006 by FreeStyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I've added the OEMBIOS set for American Future Technology Corporation. This is the Parent company of IBuyPower. I've also reuploaded all the current sets that were dropped by RapidShare. There are currently 37 sets.http://rapidshare.de/users/LWN7M8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severach Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ok, let's try this one more time.Did anyone notice that you can no longer disable the download of KB905474?Neowin Post... because it's not there at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Now I'm noticing that. I'm doubtful that they would discontinue the program and I haven't seen anything in the news about some kind of court injunction. Perhaps it only gets installed if the WGA validation check fails?

Did the pc originally come with XP? (COA XP Sticker on the case?)2. Did you use the COA key from that sticker or a SLP Key?3. What OEMBIOS files did you use? (CRC of OEMBIOS.CAT?)

It must be a SLP key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xehqter Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 After two weeks of work I wrote an app to decrypt OEMBIOS.DAT files, here are the differences between A04597C6 and C86378C7. For the most part they both search the exact same ranges.A04597C6Checks F000:32F0 – F000:3310 (32bytes) for GatewayChecks F000:3110 – F000:F130 (32bytes) for GatewayC86378C7Checks F000:3200 - F000:3220 (32bytes) for GatewayChecks F000:0000 - F000:FFFF (32bytes) for EMACHINES@SiginetYou're correct you need an SLP key not an OEM Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
