HP EliteBook 9470m - Updated Model Folder with BIOS F.70 #58

Closed thecatdidit closed 6 years ago

thecatdidit commented 6 years ago

HP released BIOS Update F.70 for the EliteBook 9470m. I have updated the Model folder to reflect this. The folder also contains all of the other files as they are. Make it easy for a commit.

@thecatdidit Thanks for the update!

For the future, please only include files that have changed in the ZIP, this make integrating it for me a little easier.

Your BIOS-Update.txt was somewhat off I think. The BIOS version noted was still F.69, although this was about F.70.

Also, your files got the the -p"@@PASSWORD_FILE@@" parameter removed, so anyone with a BIOS password can't use the file. I guess you removed it because you don't use a BIOS password, but that's not necessary. If BIOS Sledgehammer detects a @@PASSWORD_FILE@@ parameter and the current machine does not have a BIOS password set, the parameter is silently removed so it will work in any case.

@texhex I thought about that afterward (including just the file(s) changed). I am still warming up to Github. Will remember that for next time. Thank you!!

@thecatdidit No problem, I'm glad you informed me about the new BIOS and that I only want the changes is because I'm a lazy sloth :)

But if you want to warm up with GitHub, look up pull requests. They make changes really easy, both for the creator and the integrator.

@texhex Will do. In fact, I have another model to include, so I'll check it out.
