@gloobox - Pinmod the board, or order programmer, unless board has a ME/FD/FDO/Service etc jumper. The first time you only wrote some changes, not entire BIOS region, FPRR only locks out specific things by hex address.
I don't know about PRR program, it may not apply to your board or BIOS either. MEInfoWin.exe -verbose will show you at the end what ranges are protected by FPRR if any
FPTw -dumplock will show you some too, but main FPRR info get from above command

Order programmer and SOIC8 cable now, they will be there in month or so, then you wont have to worry about stuff like this anymore, price of both together is only around $5 total

There are many same model HP machine in my office,I tried to flash the new one with the same way again but it failed~~~
there is pic about "-dumplock" in my machine

I will give you the prr programme

And other way to unlock something locker besides "bios lock"

Btw,the bios chip of some boards should be flashed well with programmer by taken out with a heat gun.

@gloobox - Yes, many locks and settings can be changed by Grub / Setup_var, sometimes.
Thanks for dumplock image, you have locked FD for write to FD or ME, but BIOS read/write is Yes/OK, so lock is in FPRR (likely, since BIOS lock gives obvious error)or "BIOS/SMI Lock" which you can unlock via the setup/IFR and guide you linked (Or my guide here)

What do you see at end of this >> MEInfoWin.exe -verbose

You don't have to remove BIOS chip with heatgun, you can use SOIC8 test clip cable (or SOIC16 if 16 pins)

I have "PRR2" did you try that one yet? Thanks for PRR
Never mind, I see it's included in your package too! Did you get text file with description in your download too? if not, here is quote

This is a small DOS application which in certain cases allows you to circumvent 'Error 28' of the Intel FPT program when trying to flash a modified BIOS.
Simply execute it before using FPT. If you didn't encounter 'Error 28' in the first place then this tool won't be of any use to you.

When prr tells you 'ready to flash' continue with flashing per FPT without rebooting before doing so.

In case the protection can't be removed you're most likely out of luck, though depending on the system there might be other ways to get it done, but the chances are distinctly smaller.

I can maybe help you remove FPRR in your BIOS, but only in a BIOS you would need to flash or program in, then next time it would not be an issue.
Do you have programmer? If yes, dump BIOS, I'll see if I can remove for you, then you can program back and retest.

Hey, duo the many PM I recently made a bare updater to other DX58SO board\revision.
The application came totally untested.

How to use.

From the BIOS board menu boot 1 time in UEFI mode and shutdown the board.
With an hardware programmer read the full chip content, drag&drop a copy on the getHEAD program and flash back to the board the output.


Fixes/Features:
Extended the main firmware volume
Updated processor support for 106A4, 106A5, 206C2
Updated ICH RAID Option ROM to version 15.0.0.2371
Added support for NVME
Other dunno


DX58SO from stock 5600 to custom 5600 BIOS update

You mean SPI Programmer is essential.
Dump it by SPI Programmer,and mod it,and Flash it by SPI Programmer too?

@Lost_N_BIOS
I am trying to flash with flashrom in linux,it was said that it could flash just like the spi programmer.

what program software would you be using? I have an identical board id like to try this one. ive got a ch134a programmer. what program tool would you use?

hey man what's steps did you do? My BIOS doesn't save settings we have the same board.

@eivrah Mainly perhaps your battery in your mobo ran out,you could change it with a new one.

Already Change it, also whenever I update the BIOS it doesn't continue it gets an error. Someone told me maybe the SIO chip has the problem.

@eivrah
Could you show the error to us?
And I think you could flash it by recovery mode(release the MFG jumper),it can flash your bios thoroughly.

This is yet another update to mine DX58SO status.

I've found little no time to check on the TRFC issue but after enabling support for higher RAM speed: the missing selectable TRFC range seems just one of many.
Adjusting the maximum TRFC value on the 056E7324-A718-465B-9A84-228F06642B4F GUID from 140 (8C) to 200 (C8) allow the board to boot finally with the manual memory configuration setting turned on.
Since the bios interface is fundamentally broken the memory multiplier must be set on "auto" to always POST.

Yet the board is not able to do any BLCK overclock past pretty much 136 on the X5670 with any bioses release ( tested from 5020 to 5600 ).
So, the INTEL E29331-202 "SO ODM8 config K" DX58SO by default and perhaps the entry DX58SO line is incapable to do any base overclock.

@eivrah

It depend by the board configuration/revision mine have the clamshell socket on the SPI flash circuit.
Anyway, make a backup out of it and don't downgrade the intel bios without an hardware programmer and a fully functional backup.
