How can i extract a bios file from an Asus .exe file ??

Jonny_doe · Jul 11, 2009

I'm thought i'd try a newer bios from Asus for my hd4870 , the bios i want to try runs at 770mhz and 920 mhz(ram) , so i go to download it , which it does ( C1CLG5.rar ) , but when you unrar the file , i end up with an .exe file , it trys to run winflash , but fails , i would rather flash from dos , but i can't get the bios out of the .exe file ..
Any ideas how to do this ????

I renamed the file to .zip from rar as i can't upload

Have you tried to find the bios in the TPU VGA bios collection -

I believe the program is made to flash the card itself with the bios it has, try just running it and see if it works.

Well after extracting the exe it contains a bunch of dlls a cfg and few sys files, as far at the main update its a exe within a exe, no rom files, exist. If ya want a rom file for it, you'll have to flash your card and then back it up with gpu-z.

FYI Winrar can extract archived exe files.

Or you could just edit your own bios with RBE

Here (page bottom).
I've been using this for ages now, it was simple to extract, it would be harder if the EXE was encripted or compressed (with some tool like UPX or crinkler for example).
Happy "hacking"!

I downloaded both Resource Hacker and the EAH4870 VBIOS update.exe. What I got is only the Bitmap, icon, Dialog, String Table, RC Data, Icon Group and 24.

I got NO BINROM_image, cursor and cursor Group. What did I missed ?

Thanks for your enlightening.

Universal Extractor. Lets you extract any file from any exe (AFAIK).

It was either RejZor or RuskiSnajper that put me onto this tool (thanks whoever it was :laugh:

), and it worked for me first time when I needed to extract a product key from an installation.

Just unpack the exe and then search for ".bin" - hopefully that should work.

not sure if using a bios extracted with RC is safe to use ...
uniextract can't extract anything out of it so ...

JoiYiu · Aug 5, 2011

I have tried Uniextract also and got no BIOS or BIN. What I do not understand is why temp02 can get a BIN image from the file with Reshack and I can't. Anyone tried and know what happened.

Thanks a lot.

I just dont see this ending any other way besides a bricked card...

temp02 · Aug 5, 2011

Don't bother extracting the BIN file inside the .exe, its just a "blank"/default BIOS file, that the .exe is supposed to modify/fill-up with the info from the card you are trying to patch (from what I remember), so without debugging the thing on the right hardware that BIN file is useless.

As for how I extracted the thing, IIRC, open the .exe first with WinRAR, and then extract the .exe inside it, and this second one is the one that has the .BIN as a resource.

I should have never posted that thing without testing the resulting BIN first, now people are confused, thats what I get from trying to get a quick fix

Thanks for your reply, temp02.
I am not trying to make use of that BIN file as I don't have the card either. I just followed your way to extract the second file to see if I can get a .BIN image but I could not. I am wondering if I have to have C++ installed to get that .BIN resource. As I said before, I can get bitmap, icon, dialog... etc but not the .BIN and cursor. Do you know what I am missing ?

Thanks a lot.

try one of these
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/...turer=Asus&model=HD+4870&interface=&memSize=0 make sure you get the one for the right amount of vram your card has
edit I should ask why you want to flash the bios .... its not gonna do anything except maby brick the card

Hi, OneMoar,

I want to know how to get a BIOS image from .exe because I have a bricked HP Mini PC 110. What I can get is a sp47135.exe, which runs only under Windows, from HP support. I followed temp02's instruction to try to get a BIOS image but failed. So I tried also on the same file which temp02 used and I found that I could not get the same result. I must have something missing. So what I am missing ? :banghead:

Thanks for your concern.

erocker · Aug 5, 2011

You don't need to extract the file. Save it as .bin

if the machine is truely bricked then u will need to send it someplace to have it repaired unless the bios has some kind of boot block recovery
