Thanks @nimaim - hopefully it will be clear and easy enough for all to follow along!
Got tied up into some BIOS editing for someone yesterday, so didn't have time to wrap that up yet, hopefully I can do it tonight

@pcfr33k what did you try on the OP-LP3? I have the same model and am curious!

@Zeddi - BIOS unlock on all these models achieved, if you need mod BIOS send me a BIOS region dump via FPT and I will send you unlocked BIOS region back.
I have a BIOS mod guide done for this for all models, with modified files and instructions on how to use/apply, just trying to find time to final it all up and get posted for everyone

Due to how the BIOS is secured, we can't pass out stock modified BIOS for flashing, because only way to flash mod BIOS is via FPT, so user must dump their own BIOS region via FPT, and apply the modified files to that, then reflash it via FPT
It's three BIOS modules you replace, that's it, then reflash modified region.

Yes flashing via AFU is not working (secure policy fail, it does not like modded, unsigned BIOSes) and would require a lot of time to try various ways around it. At this point I wouldn't be able to test much as I now set up my laptop and need it for work and I also think LNB has spent more than enough time helping us through this (thread is going on 15 pages!). I think users doing their own FPT mods (with the help of LNB's guide, which is coming soon) is best. That way, we are also not responsible for anyone bricking their laptops either, as it is on them to mod and flash it.

@nimaim - Pcfr33k and I spent a good week or more, probably tested at least 50+ or more AFU command line assembly edits, sometimes close, but never any cigars . Maybe if I setup a similar system here with this type of internal BIOS security capsule I could figure it out.
But I think it's probably just easier to put out a good guide and the modified files and then users can mod and flash at their own risk, or request help to make mod BIOS from their dump if they still can't follow guide.

And I will add to the end of the guide, CH341A and SOIC8 test clip cables = $5 or so
Everyone flashing in mod BIOS should get a set due to new revealed options may leave some with black LCD while trying to mess with video and even @pcfr33k method to blind flash here #169 and here #181 may not be digestible by everyone that causes this on their end.

@nimaim - yes, we spent a lot of time editing and testing many changes in PM's while you were gone for a while.
Since you mentioned new version BIOS releases, which should probably have mod redone again directly in case of module size changes or settings additions/removals, do you think I should go ahead and add the "how to mod for pro's" to the end of the guide too, in a spoiler too?
That would be the mod info I posted here in #94/99 (I think), but refined.

Sure no problem, will change it as soon as I get on my PC ...

EDIT: @Fernando sorry I must be blind but I don't see where the option is to change thread title. If you wish, feel free to do it as I'm perfectly fine with the title you suggested. Otherwise, please let me know where I would do it.

I have bought this system a week back and need to install ubuntu linux on it. Everything is working except suspend/resume.
I see following errors during kernel boot. I have checked the BIOS. It is 1.0.8 (28/11/2018). On opowered.com/support, the driver zip contains BIOS 1.04 version. Thank you so much for your time.

@pcfr33k - If you don't mind, and when you have a second, can you test S3 sleep for @geekasm in windows, and in Linux (Live CD should be OK I think), to see if you have any issues. He's on same latest 1.08 BIOS as you, I mentioned maybe 1.04 does not have the bug, but he'd have to test.
Thanks

I don't know about these settings, or what is ideal etc, mainly putting these out there in case geekasm notices something, but I checked and at Advanced ACPI I see "Enable ACPI Auto Configuration" is disabled, maybe this needs to be enabled? Hibernation and S3 are enabled by default, under that

Enable TCO Timer is disabled by default (related to ACPI in someway?) This is at Advanced >> PCH/IO Config (Root) - DeepSx Power Policies also disabled, same location. LAN wake from DeepSx, and wake on LAN are enabled by default.

@geekasm - if you want an unlocked BIOS so you can adjust all this stuff and test, please send me a FPT backup from your system and I will send you back unlocked BIOS >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

I have searched around but couldnt find the ftpw.exe tool. where could I get it from ? Thanks.
update:
found it. used it to copy the bios
