New Vista OEM Activation Hack - Vista Boot by gkend
section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 21.5.2007
Thanks to Steve Jobs for this article on his blog and to our forum members to clecha, Nighthief and fitterphil120 for most of the findings. One again the “Chinese” come up with a new method to trick out the Vista Activation. We have seen Softmode and VistaLoader, however “ Vista Boot by gkend” does promise even more.
We do not know much about it; however we know it will emulate a brand SLIC which will make an OEM Activation possible.
What is new and where this method does vary from the others is that
it does integrate the SLIC table directly into BootMgr. Unlike other Paradox, this method can have no conflicts wit different chipsets, motherboards, or drivers. Unlike VistaLoader, this method has no conflicts with multiboot systems, does not require alteration of the Master Boot Record, and does not result in any text being displayed prior to Windows being booted. This method will also work equally well with Vista 32-bit or 64-bit and is independent of the version of Windows (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate) used. The bad news are, this method is vulnerable to the same types of detection which can be used on the other cracks - so can be disabled.
Some notes on using this hack:
1. Any SLIC table can be used with this program, simply by selecting it. No special encoding is present (like in the Paradox crack). All of the SLIC tables we have collected are viable candidates for integration.
2. This crack only applies the SLIC table. It does not apply (or even have) the matching OEM certificates - nor does it install a serial number for Vista. Both of these steps must still be done manually using the command prompt and SLMGR.VBS.
3. It is completely possible to take advantage of this cracks facility of specifying the partition of the BootMgr file to create a collection of pre modified BootMgr files.

so is it worth switching from one click or paradox?
i still haven't heard a good explanation of how these can be disabled, aside from the
paradox crack. i'm probably missing something important, but won't ms have to issue new
oem certs, or the individual vendors have to update theirs on all of their sold computers
in order to nullify the oem cracks?
update: (22 may)
some more details (translated to english by ztpkmn2006)
features:
1. don’t revise the mbr
2. better supporting those like
dell whose bios can’t be revised. if the memory, where rsdt is, can be written, then its
supposed to work.(you can use hwdirec to test if your rsdt can be written or not)
the attachment is a tool to alter the bootmgr file, easier for you to add the slic
brand you need, install the according vista oem automatic activated.(when it’s not an oem
version, then you have to add the matching certificate)
how to use:
must log in vista as administrator, then run vistaboot.exe as administrator, choose
the slic brand you need, choose where the bootmgr file is, click ‘’modify bootmgr’ button
, then its done.
suggest to backup bootmgr, start up in other ways( like usb,
cd or u-partition) can restore bootmgr. once you have backuped, then theres no risk
anymore.
just for those who don't have hwdirect and vista boot yet:
hwdirect: http://share.gulli.com/files/1352632994/hwd_inst.exe.html
serial:
0011ff07ff01ff07ff08fd0
latest vista boot:
http://share.gulli.com/files/999820566/vistaboot522.rar.html
the oem crack is still a better choice if you have recent machine that came with a
different version of oem vista or can get a hacked bios.
speaking of which, can
someone point me to the site that has a list of available oem bioses....i saw it once, but
didn't bookmark it and can't find it now.
of course, you could always just install something that doesn't require activation
instead. http://www.debian.org
although by the sound of it you're all pretty
happy drinking from that microsoft tit and having your own computer treat you as
criminals, so i can see why you'd be vista fans.
dudes!!! i would love to use linux but.... all games are made for windows!!!
is it possible to use my msdnaa key with this crack or do i have to use an oem
dell/acer/etc key?
thanks
why would you want to use cracked version if you have your original and legit msdnaa
serial?
or it is a not really legit key? :)
i'm logged in as administrator, run program as administrator but the program throws an
error saying "can not modify the file attributes!"
any ideas? i'm using
vista ultimate rc1
yes, i have the same problem. "... can not modify the file attributes..." using admin
rights.
you may need to take ownership of the file also
to take ownership of the bootmgr do following:
open cmd as admin and copy
past below
takeown /f %systemdrive%\bootmgr
hit enter and copy past
icacls %systemdrive%\bootmgr /grant "%username%":f
and hit enter
now you can alter the file.
thank you sj
i want to use my legit key because i want to activate on multiple pcs :p
tz you want to use your legit key to activate on multiple pc's? that is retarded. your
key is no longer legit if you do that. what difference to windows does it make if u use
the oem key and ur legit key? none! so why use ur legit key when you won't even notice
the difference?
the following has been created to make it easier for people to use the vista bootmgr
crack.
archive: http://www.pirateshare.net/?id=10605474

thanxtogkend
to iinstall:
... extract the rar to a folder on your
computer.
... double click (if uac is turned off) or right-click and select run as
administrator (if uac is turned on) on install.cmd
... follow the prompts.
to uninstall:
... extract the rar to a folder on your computer.
...
double click (if uac is turned off) or right-click and select run as administrator (if uac
is turned on) on uninstall.cmd
before anyone asks,
1. this is not based
on either vistaloader or paradox. it is based on the vista boootmgr crack by gkend.
2. this crack works with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of vista,
3.
this crack does not reuire that you have an oem machine, but instead makes whatever
computer you have appear as if it were an oem machine.
4. everything needed
for this crack is included in the crack - except, of course, for a computer and windows
vista. everything means everything - slic emulator, licensing certificates, and serial
keys.
5. while this crack does not come with a double-your-money-back
guarantee, it should work with most motherboards. if you want to know if it works with
your motherboard, don't ask - just try it.
6. if, for any reason, this crack
does not work properly, you can recover your system by using the uninstall.cmd in this
archive from the recovery console (if you cannot boot to the desktop) or directly from the
desktop.
7. before installing this crack, you must uninstall any other cracks
which you have tried in the past or are using. the best and easiest way to do this is to
use voatk tools (available in the member's download section).
8. i cannot
confirm that all the certificates within this crack are valid. if you use this crack and
find it does not activate, please use everest or acpi scope to verify whether or not you
have a slic table installed. if you do have the slic table you specified but the system
still does not register, please post a resonse to let us know which slic/certificate you
had specified.
9. this crack installer will be updated over time to reflect
any corrections of or additions to certificates/slics, serials, and updates to the main
cracking algorithym.
version history
-----------------
v1.0 -
initial public release
v1.0.1 - fixed installation of certificates.certificates.
excellent, it worked just fine. i get all updates, is activated, genuine, and
registered.
thank you
i installed but got an error on the second last installation. then it said installation
complete, restart.
i tried to restart but only end up with booting 'windows vista'
on top and "boot failed! press any key to enter command line" on the bottom screen.
how can i remove or delete this :(
6. if, for any reason, this crack
does not work properly, you can recover your system by using the uninstall.cmd in this
archive from the recovery console (if you cannot boot to the desktop) or directly from the
desktop.
any help appreciated. thx
hi, after taking the ownership, this error message still pops up, what should i do now?
i have the same problem with yn0t. i can't log in to vista after installing the crack. i
have to enter something in some kinda command line. what should i do?
vistaboot 7.0526
http://share.gulli.com/files/324779702/vistaboot.rar.html
so taking ownership made the program work, thank you sj, but i'm still getting this
message: your windows license will expire in 5 days and windows will stop working. backup
your files and then install any edition of windows vista.
this is the latest
in a string of hacks i've tried to remove that message. anyone know if my install will
indeed stop working, and if so how i can stop it?
cheers!
i have fu.cked up my boot with it!! don't use
it;s very easy to fix that, just use your vista dvd and select the repair function and
your vista is back to normal in 10 minutes :)
not working 2
by gg on 23.05.2007 - 20:05
ummm....why in the hell are u
using rc1???
the link for vistaboot 7.0526 seems to be dead ... have you another one ?
working. backup your files and then install any edition of windows vista.
any
ideas? getting close now!!
i am in the same boat... i have 5 days left. i will try repairing vista with the dvd
later tonight, hopefully that will fix it, i really don't want to wipe everything and
reinstall.
recommend you use paradox or bootmgr install, i have legit key but tested paradox and
bootmgr... both worked 100%
ran 14 days (ea one)... upgrades 100%
no problem
perfect... ran wc and replaced with legit key... now back 100% legit with real key...
ultimate good for another 5/6 yrs beta testing..
i have an important question!!
does this new vista oem activation hack - b gkend
change or destroy my bios, or does it chnage only windows vista files??
i don´t want
to kill my mainboard so i ask!
thanks for answers!
eik
see http://stevejobs.blogs.keznews.com/2007/05/28/vista-bootmgr-installer/ for the latest
installer
it will emulate only, and not touch your hardware.
hey tz, why don't you post that key here.
my vista install expired 3 days before it said it would!! i now need to reinstall vista.
my question is, can i safely reinstall without overwriting the contacts of the 'users'
folders?
don't ask me to just move those folders because i can't access them
from my previous xp installation which i'm now using.
thanks!
i ran the app successfully but the activation time is still counting. trid 2 of the slic
types for dell and asus.
my friend gave me a version of this crack (asus fixed) my motherboard dosnt suport slic
but i did the 'emulator' install and it works perfectly, and its genuine!!
well i couldnt get it to work so fooey
my windows is:
microsoft® windows vista™ home premium
6.0.6000.0
89578-oem-730xxxx-xxxxx
and product key is:
ykm78-62qv4-hgbmk-xxxxx-xxxxx
is not vista activator but license oem...and no...2099 ahahahhhahahahha
i'm all for the crack... and i even paid for a full, legal copy of ultimate. i made the
mistake of buying an nvidia 680i board, which of course required 4 rma swaps to get one
that somewhat worked. gave up a month later and went for an asus p4wdg2 pro... so that's
5 installs of vista, each of which i had to call and sit on hold to eventually explain to
some sloth with limited english why i needed to install my fully legal and paid for
installation again.
haxors download cracks, and install all they want... legit
buyers go through fooking' madness to get the product to work. wtf is wrong with
microshit!
will this work if i have a dual partition with xp on the first one?
thanks
warning: chinese c-r-a-p!
it is chinese c-r-a-p for moron noobies. paradox is better.
paradox is da best
