Hi all,
I'm trying to hack my Dell 5040 SFF i7 6700 16GB RAM iGPU. I've followed the opencore guide and created the installer. The only part left to do is to disable the hidden CFG LOCK in the Dell BIOS. I've followed this guide
as well as this one (For Dell)
github.com
This is the part I don't really understand. I've downloaded BIOS Utilities & also downloaded the BIOS version for my system, placed in the root folder, extracted the bin file from it, found the PE32 image section, saved it as bin file, converted it to txt using ifrextractor and saved. That file is showing as jumbled good (attached). Then step 3 is asking to use a text editor to find the CFG Lock value, but I'm at a dead end here.
Is there something I've done wrong in previous steps? Any help appreciated.
