This is an advanced version of the guide to disable operating system check in Origin. It might be a bit rough, maybe I’ll add some pictures later, but it should work if you carefully follow the instructions.

If this works for you, I’d appreciate if you bought me a coffee.

Prerequisites

Ghidra.

Setup

Open Ghidra, create a new project, drag the following files into the window and confirm:

To edit a file, double-click it in the project window, click Yes when asked to analyze it, and uncheck Windows x86 PE Exception Handling and Windows x86 PE RTTI Analyzer because they take forever, and PDB because we don’t have one. Could probably turn off some other stuff as well, but I didn’t check. Then wait until the bottom right thingy finishes. Make yourself some tea or coffee or whatever you like, OriginClient.dll takes an eternity.

Follow the guides below. Keep in mind everything is case-sensitive, if the guide tells you to type NOP, don’t type nop.

After editing a file, go to File -> Export Program..., open the Format drop-down and select Binary, and save the file. The file will end up with a .bin extension, make sure to remove it.

OriginClient.dll

Go to Search -> Program Text..., type in checkPrerequisites, click Next.

In the Decompile panel, there are 3 occurrences of if (bVar2 != false) {. If you click the if, the Listing panel will scroll down and highlight a line labeled JZ LAB_....

Do this for the first occurrence, then right-click the JZ LAB_... line, click Patch Instruction..., replace JZ with JMP, wait, then select e9 ** ** ** ** (asterisks don’t matter, only the beginning). Next line will become ?? 00h, so do this again but replace ?? with NOP and select 90.

Afterwards, the first 2 occurrences will disappear (sometimes this might take a short while, watch the progress bar in bottom right after patching an instruction). Repeat the same process for the third occurence.

Now that you know the workflow, the rest of the guide will be more brief.

Origin.exe

Part 1

Go to Search -> Program Text..., check All Fields, type in Problem found in executable, click Search All. Double-click on the first line with FUN_... under Namespace and close the search results.

In the Decompile panel, click the if in if (cVar3 == '\0') { right above the found text, and patch JNZ LAB_... to JMP (eb **).

Above, click the if in if (hObject == (undefined4 *)0x0) {, and patch JNZ LAB_... to JMP (eb **).

A little further below, click the if in if (cVar4 == '\0') {, and patch JNZ LAB_... to JMP (e9 ** ** ** **), then patch ?? 00h to NOP (90).

Finally, click the if in if (cVar3 == '\0') { that just appeared, and patch JNZ LAB_... to JMP (eb **).

Part 2

Go to Search -> Program Text..., check Program Database and Instruction Operands, type in WinVerifyTrust, click Next.

In the Decompile panel, click the if in if (LVar1 < -0x7ff4feee) {, and patch JG LAB_... to JMP (e9 ** ** ** **). Then patch the ?? 00h to NOP (90).

In the Decompile panel, click the if in if (LVar1 == 0) {, and patch JZ LAB_... to JMP (eb ** ).

OriginClientService.exe

Go to Seach -> Program Text..., check Instruction Operands, type in isValidEACertificate, click Search All. The opened panel has 4 occurrences, 2 of which should contain validateCaller or executeProcess.

For each of the 2 occurrences, first click it. This will highlight a line in the Listing panel that contains CALL Origin::..., a few lines below there should be a JNZ LAB_..., patch it to JMP - one of them will be short (eb **), the other one will be long (e9 ** ** ** **) and will require patching ?? 00h with NOP (90) again.
