If you have secure boot enabled, disable that and try again.

That has to be bypassed with PRR or PRR2 tool, if you did it in the past without a programmer, that had to be the way we did it, since only other way around that is by using a programmer
Here is PRR/PRR2 tool, in case you maybe did use in the past, it's used from DOS and you need BIOS ready on the DOS stick too, run PRR/PRR2 and then try to DOS FPT Flash BIOS region.

This tool was made for another error #, but that may be due to that was the only # this error was in the past and now it's new # (I'm only guessing on that)
If all else fails, wait and I will remove this lock for you and send you new BIOS to program in once and for all with all locks disabled, so after that you can FPT always instead of having to use programmer

I can't disable Secure Boot (kind of why the unlocked UEFI might be a good idea) as Legacy boot refuses to boot and Enabling UEFI boot leaves the Secure Boot option Enabled and greyed out.

It seems fairly trivial in many examples that it should be switchable and I believe it is on my desktop but these laptop UEFIs are annoying!

PRR tool is for error #28 and my error is #280

I explained that when I posted the info for you on PRR tool, please read what I mentioned again and carry on testing

You can disable secure boot via setup_var 0x246 0x0
And then change Boot Mode via setup_var 0x79 0x2 = UEFI / 0x1 = Legacy

May need to use H20UVE to do those changes instead

Checking on unlocking BIOS menus for you now, but none of that will help if you can't flash BIOS I guess you may be forced to program it in (If so, send me dump to mod)
I found your other folder in my BIOS stuff, I think you did use programmer before because I have a full 8MB dump from you that I edited and sent back with unlocked FD on it so I assume you were using programmer back then

Did Dudu2002 give you unlocked BIOS for 1.32 BIOS back in 2017? If yes, send me that please, will help me recognize correct edit location on 1.33 (otherwise I'm not finding proper location to edit)

Yes I think I have the older unlocked BIOS (based on v1.32). I did not really find any of the options useful at the time! Obviously I took the updated v1.33 when Acer offered it, knowing it would revert to locked but now I do have a reason for the option of HT enable/disable.

I have had to go back using File History to recover a long deleted file from Dropbox (I also deleted the emails) so it was fortunate I had my PayPal history to get the date

Hope it is the file you need!

@winactive - So, he does charge when you see "See PM" I always assumed that about some of the help going on in "PM Only" there.
How much did it cost you? Yes, that should do it provided it's the correct file...... checking - Yeppers, two bytes changed as expected, will drop in assembly and see if I can find the same for 1.33,
And I see it's in same module I was digging around earlier so I was on the right track at least I HATE Insyde BIOS!!

Since your going to have to put this on by programmer anyway, go head and take it apart and send me a dump to apply all these mods to again, this time I'll also remove the PRR lock causing that 280 error and send you that modified module, so you can replace it in any future mods you flash in too.
I think I got it, but only you can test and find out, if it is removed now let me know and I'll send you the modified module that removes it (one byte changed) - this also is now unlocked BIOS
Dump your current BIOS with programmer, replace BIOS region with this file using UEFITool (v 25), save as mod BIOS and program back on with programmer.
Then, once in windows again, retest flashing this file only as BIOS region flash with FPT, so we can see if PRR 280 lock removed or not >> FPTw.exe -bios -f E5-571MUnLock.bin

I am very grateful of the help provided by all you people. Payment was suggested, not mandated (file was linked first). I was happy with the amount I paid, I hope he was too!

Well that's cool of him then, now I have much less negative thoughts about it since it was presented as optional after BIOS was provided anyway - very cool of him I suppose, I take back all of my negative thoughts
I charge.... 1x Beer, and hope you have at least 12 problems needing solved immediately

I can try again on the 280 error if you want? You got unlocked menus again correct?

Okay, so I tried with a USB DOS stick.

I used prr first, then ran fpt (the DOS version) fpt.exe -f -bios e5-571~1.bin then got error 200 and then ran prr2 giving the first screenshot;

Realised my syntax might have been incorrect then tried fpt.exe -bios -f e5-571~1.bin and got error 75: fparts.txt missing (so I copied it to the stick)

This time using the correct flash part info I got the same message as under win64; error 28 but prr2 still reads as the first screen

e5-571~1.bin <<< Do you really have the tilde in the command, or filename itself? If yes, that might be an issue causing the false fparts error.
Anyway, looks like my edit failed, it should have removed it all not left you with error 28. I will have to take a look again, but getting down to 28 and the info from your first image should help me find it now and remove the remaining 28 error.
This is controlled by two files sometimes, and I was only editing one, I may need to edit both

Thanks for confirmation the BIOS is unlocked again now, at least I got something right here

Yes in DOS mode the filesystem is 8.3 so I used what it gave me on dir

@Lost_N_BIOS I'm extensively using my laptop for my graduation and I am working with Altium Designer 17. It all worked fine for the months I've been using it, but since yesterday, my laptop froze 3 times with the same glitching result seen in post #34 (Microcode Update of Insyde UEFI BIOSes (3))

MEInfo Version shows 6.0.50.1252 (did we update it? I can't remember. I know that 6.0.40 was unstable and 6.0.32 was the default one).

Could it be that 6.0.50 is also unstable on certain load or could it be because I added more shared memory to my iGPU (320mb)?

hey, can anyone help with flashing lenovo g570? ive been trying almost everything but no change or best i get is "region map not found".
it became very hard to understand. icant get a dump file for some reasin and im lost for a long time. anyone wailing to help and i sure will donate something.
