@nimaim - Rename you would have to do a quick test, but I think someone mentioned doing that already as a quick test in this thread early on. I checked and couldn't find it, maybe thinking of another thread.
Yes, I believe rearranging is possible and easy, I included a sample switch test with below rename test. If it's not moved, other methods can be tested next, this was just quick location swap in AMITSE module, if that doesn't do it then move in setup/IFR probably will.
Here is quick test, Advanced2 renamed via AMIBCP and Advanced2/BCP + move Adv2 via AMITSE location swap
http://www.filedropper.com/renameadv-moveadv

You can test ADV2Move first if you want, but if it fails to boot please also test the other so we know if Adv2 rename works, or causes the boot fail, or if only the swap causes it.

After a quick check of AMITSE in few models (I checked Cyberpower above and Mechrevo), I see all are very similar, but each a little different, so they'll all need modified separately.
File swap may work and be functional, but it's sloppy/not ideal since they are all a little different, as a modder I'd prefer doing each one by one and I'm sure owners would rather have that as well.

@truelecter - You're welcome, and good luck! Looks easy, same as this one, if you can't get it let me know.
Also, I added another image and step to to post #99 mod info/method, not necessary for your BIOS in particular, but does help overall for any similar BIOS.

@nimaim - thanks for results! Yes, ADV2Move was meant to move ADV/ADV2, so the move failed with that move method (re-arrange in AMITSE), will try rearrange in setup next, hopefully that will get it. I should have done that initially, but always best to try easier way first in case it works.
Good the rename is easy, that's today's bonus I suppose. If you are here right now, give me some time and I'll do the setup move and see if we can get ADV/ADV2 right beside each other.

I'm here but about to pass out for the night (EST so midnight here) so I will test in the morning before work. If that works we can follow suit with the other menus the same way (main main2, chipset, chipset2, etc.). Will have to show me how you did this edit as well once we get it. Thanks!

Also for BCP edits, did you have to manually go in to every option in AMIBCP and change to USER? I'm guessing there is an easier way to do this that doesn't require as much labor.

@nimaim - OK, no problem, get you some ZZZ's. Yes, that is plan, get this sorted out then move forward with all like that. If this works, it's kind of involved hex-wise, so be ready.
For BCP edits, no, I just set root to enabled for each hidden menu (look at the BIOS with BCP, you will see what I set to user only two settings at root level), but of course some few settings might still be missing that would need further enabled directly at the setting via BCP or within setup/IFR.
That's why I asked you to take images in each subsection and compare with what you see in AMIBCP, that's the only way to know what is actually there vs missing.

*Edit @nimaim - If you're still here and couldn't sleep yet, here's your next test move

Ok. So I done everything by @Lost_N_BIOS instructions and I am now able to see all the menus. Thanks for your help!

@nimaim - Damn, sorry man! Will see if I can think of another way to move around, if not we'll have to go ahead with all after exit. It's not a lot of hex editing, just a large chunk you have to grab/cut/move just right, and yes I double checked and it was correct here just not proper method to do it I guess
It probably would work that way, but I'd need to find and correct a bunch of offsets and possibly adjust jump addresses in assembly/hex which I didn't consider until now, that would be a lot of work and I may not be able to do it anyway This is probably why it failed!

So yes, maybe best for now to just go forward and rename the others and let it all appear where it appears . I'll get a final done for you tonight, with everything we decided a page or so back and just rename the duplicates. Do you think Advanced2 looks OK for example or would it look better Advanced 2?

@pcfr33k , yes my point exactly ... there are lots of BIOSes (and updated BIOSes) for this chassis that keeping it simple is best, especially for noobs like me :) Agree about programmer, though many will ignore that advice anyway.

@nimaim - OK, will do the space, yes that should be fine. Rearrange is possible, maybe a few ways, just more work and testing would be involved to figure it out, it could even be simple I should google around about it and learn sometime

@pcfr33k - You're welcome! Anytime BIOS update comes out, mod will need redone on new BIOS. Most users should not do this mod themselves, only people who feel comfortable doing editing like this, it's not really simply enough for non-tech users to jump into.
The majority of users should really wait and have someone do a "mod BIOS for the crowd" like you usually see posted once a mod is finalized by person doing it all.

Anyone with $6 to spare should get a programmer and SOIC8 test clip kit, flashing BIOS any time even stock BIOS can brick a board, programmer is so cheap everyone should have one always mod BIOS or not.

Sorry @pcfr33k - I've never heard of that, CMOS yes, but EC is like FW, no resetting it that I've ever heard of only reflashing/reprogramming with new/old version etc. Dumps will always differ if you've turned on the system between dumps, or maybe even if not turned on, due to times/dates changing and checksum values etc.

I don't quit understand your last question, do you mean for bricked system to recover BIOS? If yes, that method would only work in certain situations where you had already setup the batch file and tested it, knew it worked, knew the keystrokes needed to get there to start the batch file etc,
And that would really only work in an instance where the BIOS wasn't really bricked but only a bad graphic option setting was applied so nothing on screen. That would be the only time, usually, that you might be able to boot to a blind DOS situation and blind flash via batch
Regular good old bricked BIOS means just that, it's bricked and you aren't booting to DOS either whether you can see something displayed or not.

Sounds like you should get your order placed for a CH341A and SOIC8 test clip cable now, before you need it later and don't have it, unless you already have and were asking for others.

@nimaim - I'm in there now, maybe will get you a RC BIOS to test tonight before you get too tired!

*Edit 3 - @nimaim - here is RC1 test if you're around and ready! Please take image of main page of BIOS, so I can see how it all looks (want to see all menu's across top now), thanks - Exit might be on end now, due to hide OG Exit and expose Save & Exit
main x2, Adv x2, chipset, boot x2, security as-is, switched exit pages (Hide OG)
ALL BIOS = on pause right now, while I write out a guide for this, since it has to be done via FPT, so no one looses serial, UUID etc

New package, with additional BIOS added that has updated CPU microcodes + above

ALL BIOS = on pause right now, while I write out a guide for this, since it has to be done via FPT, so no one looses serial, UUID etc

@Lost_N_BIOS, Great! Will test when I get home ...

@pcfr33k, No idea about EC, since we are not even touching it with all these BIOS tests. About BIOS flashes, like LNB said, that wouldn't work since the system usually won't even POST if you screw up the BIOS. So nothing would boot in that case. I don't know much about dissecting BIOSes (still learning, luckily we have a good mentor here in LNB), but I've been doing embedded programming for a while now and have worked a lot with uboot and other pre/bootloaders.

I also agree anyone flashing this stuff should invest in a programmer / test clip cable period. I know you already have one but anyone else reading this thread and thinking about trying any of these should go no further without a full backup.

Silly question, but how can I change Logo? Change logo app is stucks and image seems to be somehow compressed.
