Oh, I forgot to tell you my method is not good.
I found it is based on bios capsule update, so you could not use this to get recovery, because this need operational bios framwork.
I found this method on UEFI Tool, the bios include two recovery region, so there are two recovery methods, this is one. In the hex view of the region, I found the file name. so may be your model name is not the same.
I'm now finding another way to get blind flash by using bootblock,
this may no need operational bios, even we can flash our moded bios.

Thanks for the info @Fan

I'm wondering why the other unlocked guide has not blown up with comments and discussions/questions etc? Do you guys think I should change the title to the board names like GK5CN6Z etc, instead of the brand names, maybe more people would find in search results?

I think @nimaim did post about it after I posted the guide, but maybe since the threads are so popular there things get buried very quickly.
I thought about joining there and posting the guide over there too, but that would detract from people coming over here and joining our discussions and I'm not sure I want another thread/forum to try and keep up with too.

How do I reset BIOS settings after an unsuccessful undervolt? I've tried removing the CMOS, battery and RAM's overnight but didn't work.

Fixed: If anyone has this problem, you have to turn off the system, press and hold Fn + D, then press and release the power button, keep on holding Fn + D for 30 seconds and you should see the screen turn on. I did this with the CMOS, battery and RAM plugged in.

Please keep me posted on the second recovery method. I tried flashing my OP LP3 GK7CN6S to the stock 1.08 from the modded version, and now it only shows a black screen after I reset the bios settings to default. The odd thing is, after I flashed the bios to stock it still showed up as the modded version. I then decided to reset the settings to default, and then no boot. The keyboard still lights up though. The lighting for the keyboard is still what I set it as before I reset the bios, which is also odd. I did not change anything graphics settings in the bios, so i don't think it has anything to do with that. Anything help is appreciated.

@2010ngojo - with all the strange things you mentioned, it sounds like maybe it's not being flashed in properly at some instances, how are you flashing each version?
Stock BIOS should be flashed in using standard flashing procedures outlined by the manufacturers, or using the batch files provided with the stock packages. These should not be flashed via FPT, except when FPT is called/utilized by the stock package batch files.
Mod BIOS should be FPT BIOS region backed up first, or flash programmer dumped, then modified into a mod BIOS, then programmed back in using FPT or flash programmer.

Recovery methods outlined here on page 20 - [SOLVED] How to unlock BIOS options of rebranded TONGFANG chassis systems? (20) and see post #305 too on pg #21
And on several of the later pages in this thread you'll find other various ways to recover as well, even if you did not adjust display settings the recover methods would still be same for you to recover, especially since you cannot see screen now anyway

@2010ngojo - It should be exactly how @pcfr33k outlined on his earlier post on page #20 (239) but follow the links he's giving to early pages of the thread like pg 12 or pg 17 because I think you guys have same system.
The later method you mention (AFU Flash), is from more recent recovery method where we were trying to help someone else with another different system (similar, but not same model you have)

I'm not sure about your image, but I'd also copy the AFU file and BIOS file to inside Boot folder as well, probably not needed, but I'd have it all duplicated inside that folder and outside at root of USB too just to cover all bases
On AFU method, yes try FS1 too and see if it helps, I remember he was discussing users trying that method may need to change that, and if you removed the main hard drive then yes I bet FS1 would be the only option

I have a quick question for everyone which wasn't clear looking through the posts. With the new, modified BIOS, if iGPU is disabled in the advanced options, does the unit run fine on the GTX1060 without Optimus, or is there issues (I saw references to problems using iGPU only and black screens, but not the other way round).

I'm asking because the hold-up on full Hackintosh compatibility is disabling the iGPU and running OSX 10.13 High Sierra with only the 1060 and NVidia web drivers. Any chance anyone has tried that successfully?

Thanks in advance.

@pcfr33k @nimaim - ^^ do either of you know about the above, I know you tested a lot in regards to graphics options - thanks ^^

@Lost_N_BIOS

How have you been and thanks again for sharing your guide and all the work you did for this Bios. I am trying to find the CFG lock on the Bios and I was hoping to unlock it via unhidden menu's but cannot find any such option so far unless OP renamed it to something else. Would you know if that option is called something else in the mod bios?

Thanks

@pcfr33k - been doing good, trying to keep up And no problem, you're welcome!

CFG Lock is located here, I assume visible to you in BIOS, but possibly not (If not, let me know and I will fix) >> Advanced 2 >> Power & Performance >> CPU - Power Management Control >> View/Configure CPU Lock Options >> CFG Lock
