Hello,
I have a Z170 board with Aptio V bios. I would like to unlock all menus. I already tried some. With AMiBCP from default on user and SUpervisior. Everything does not work.
I also read that UEFItool deletes the menu data when extracting setup from the bios. It should go with AFUEFI( and so on) to extract the actual data of the menu. Are there other methods that are easier?

Unfortunately, all versions of AMIBCP for Aptio V do not work correctly. Try to find a newer version than 5.2.0.31 (5.02.0031)

What you heard about UEFITool is wrong, or at least the way you mentioned that, maybe that person is doing something wrong or doesn't know what to do etc? What exact motherboard do you need this done for, stock link please.

Sometimes you have to do 1 or 2 things on top of AMIBCP edit, other times only those 1 or 2 things and not an AMIBCP root menu change etc, all depends on the BIOS.

I have version 5.2.0.23!

I can be done with combo of AMIBCP and magic string edit and or 46 02 to 47 02. I will check it now and send you BIOS to test. Usually only "Chipset" needs multiple methods (2-3), Advanced usually only AMIBCP alone or AMIBCP+Magic String edit.

You still never said what motherboard this is! Obviously I will find out, but this kind of thing should be mentioned right up front. For me I'd like to know in case I already unlocked this BIOS previously I could link you to that without having to download and check etc.

Please post MEinfowin output image or text (in full) - to check if Bootguard/ACM is enabled, it's in this BIOS.

CLEVO P870DM << Is that the exact model? And no problem pulling menu data from setup/IFR with UEFITool extraction.
Also I previously fully unlocked P770ZM, so I'm sure this will be same edit process, simple and quick to get you partially unlocked, then you can do rest as you see fit with AMIBCP 5.02.0023

Please upload an image showing what all current BIOS sections/tabs you have visible, thanks.

Also, forgot to ask, were is the 4MB BIOS file too? Or does your board only have one BIOS included with the stock downloads?
The other I mentioned has two, and EC files with it's downloads, so assumed maybe this one should at least have two BIOS as well (4MB & 8MB)

Go ahead and get a dump with AFUwin/AFUWinGUI too, so I can compare, thanks!

Yeah, it's a P870 model.
Unfortunately I can't send you a picture yet.
I'm still waiting for my mainboard. I'll let you know when I have it.
Exactly, I think you just have to go from TRUE to FALSE, and the rest can be done with AMIBCP.
I'll test it when I get the board back.
Thank you for your commitment!

The file here has nothing to do with the BIOS menu. Just wanted to have a link to link!:-)

Some things, like Chipset do not have TRUE/False, or Suppress If. Chipset usually can't be done with AMIBCP, but may nee it also set there too plus other method. Advanced often can done by AMIBCP alone.

File to link? What is the TE.Zip?

That's the latest version I've found ... maybe @SoniX can clarify?

Latest available 5.2.0.31 (5.02.0031), But it does not work properly with the latest BIOSes.

I don’t get that message when I load my bios? Is there a link to amibcp 5.2.0.031. I would like to try that one to see if I get the same results as 5.2.0.023.

The question is maybe bootgaurd needs to be disabled or something else preventing menus from showing or the very latest bios’s must have even a later version that’s not available to us yet?

@pcfr33k - bootguard would not affect your ability to modify BIOS or enable hidden settings or tabs. If you need help enabling menu sections make a thread with all your board details, stock BIOS link and a FPT dump of your BIOS if Intel based board and then I can help you try to enable menus

@Lost_N_BIOS , thank you very much! I have a BIOS dump ... I think both him and I are trying to unlock some menus (particularly things like Chipset, and second set of Main / Advanced menus to allow for overclocking, memory profiles, etc.) on this TONGFANG GK5CN6Z APTIO V BIOS. Give me a second to start a new thread. I think it would be useful for everyone with this variant board (which is many people). I would like to know how to do this though. I've had no luck going into setup_IFR.txt and finding the particular 01010100... etc string corresponding to the hidden options. I also had no luck finding the True's in there for the hidden entries.
