M11x R2 BIOS recovery guide

Very nice find. Am I to understand that this individual is capable of modifiying the BIOS on the 335? If so, is this person capable of editing the BIOS of the M11x? The reason I ask, the limited number of contacts I have, I found one that knew enough of BIOS programming to tell me that it is possible to program the M11xR2 to be a manual switch but he doesn't have anywhere near the time to put into the project before it would be pointless.



This is very intriguing. Will send this to him to look over. Not that I do not trust you or the other person, as I give everyone a general level of trust. Its just I don't trust just anyone to flash a ROM blindly. Returned too many phones and other electronics as it is. Damn stores all know me by name...

haha im a complete newb with this stuff, i think DavyGT is working on this to get a flashable ROM. what phone do you have may i ask? I sportin an Atrix 4G which has a locked bootloader so im not flashing nearly as many ROMs as i should be

Running an HTC EVO right now with VirusRom on it. Going to go back to Cyanogen later this month though. The Atrix is a nice phone, but doesn't surprise me about the bootloader. It seems just about everyone is doing everything they can to lock them down. Real shame too, since the modding community has helped them sell phones better than they ever would have.



Almost feel like doing a search for some of the Dell BIOS engineers (found one on Linked In, but not connected to him) and seeing if it couldn't be put into a 'final' release or something. It bugs me now that I know it is possible but is limited. Likely due to some slimy contract that Intel created when they sold the rights to Dell.



To stop your average user from making changes, is not only smart, but it is business smart. To stop your enthusiast from making changes is not smart, cause where there is a will, there is a way.

Ah yes, the BIOS. My M11x Windows install stuffed at that very crucial moment so I needed to work on reinstalling yesterday. It's not as simple as recompiling the BIOS, which is already done and undone, I have to also work out how to create a Crisis disk in case somebody bricks their M11x. Any help there will appreciated.



Note this VBIOS doesn't change Optimus in any way, it only increases the voltage.



In the mean time, use OCCT GPU stress to see what your max temperatures are as the BIOS will increase temperature for increased voltage, if it works.



There maybe something for the R1.

What will upping the voltage do for the 335M? Make overclocks more stable? I've overclocked my CPU to 180 with no problems, but my GPU is stuck at 520/840/1240....

Yes, it will increase overclocks. In theory, since the is not a Vmod, as long as the GT335 is not using 3D clocks, battery life shouldn't be affected.



I'll release the BIOS when I get home in 8hrs.

glad theres hope for the r1, my max temps on my highest OC are about 62C

Is this only for the r1 or can r2 users benefit?

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. This is only for the R2, and the R1 users may benefit from it.
