@Lost_N_BIOS Okay, I have done this in grub. I think after multiple reboots this reset to 0x01 instead of 0x00. I appreciate all the help. I can test the bios whenever it is ready. Also, I don't have access to a programmer so I will be utilising the FPT flash method.

Good, but it's not needed if you are using programmer, which you have to use if you want unlocked FD flashed in, otherwise if you are using FPT you can only flash BIOS region (FPTw.exe -bios -f modbiosname.bin) and if you do that without programmer then unlocked FD does not get put onto BIOS chip.
BIOS lock setting remains until you ever again reflash stock BIOS or any BIOS region that does not have the lock disabled, or set back to 0x1 via grub.

See, here is unlocked FD now in the BIOS below, but this will only go onto your board if you use programmer or pinmod to unlock current FD and allow full FPT reflash.
This is not BIOS lock setting you change in grub (unrelated), that's an actual BIOS setting you change in grub while FD is flash descriptor which is it's own separate region of the BIOS


Here is unlocked BIOS
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...605617999753053

Flash via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f dumpm.bin

To All >> Do not use the unlocked BIOS above, you will loose your serial, UUID, etc.
That is for @alerscone only, if you want unlocked BIOS send me your BIOS region dump from FPT, or entire BIOS dumped via programmer or FPT.

@Lost_N_BIOS Okay, so I think I misunderstood. Since I do not have a programmer I think the file provided will not work, correct? I was just hoping to get the advanced BIOS settings unlocked is all. Also, I am getting: error 451: the host cpu does not have write access to the target flash area. to enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region. fpt operation failed.

@alerscone - Yes, it will work fine, you just wont be able to unlock the FD using it since you do not have programmer (unless you do pinmod to unlock). Did you use the exact command I gave you above?
It appears you did not, since you do have access to write to BIOS in the FD already, it's saying you do not have access to some region so it looks like you did not use my command and instead tried to write entire BIOS (FPTw.exe -f dumpm.bin) << That will fail, since FD is locked
As mentioned above, flash via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f dumpm.bin

If that still fails, please send me FPT BIOS region dump and I will redo for you
Dump via >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

Finally, I made it work. The ONLY thing it needed was to set the byte on offset DD to 7E (NOT 7C) on practically every place CNFG appeared. This is because it appears in an NVAR entry, but is replaced after a reboot, which suggests that there is other (or multiple) CNFG entries that are being loaded, probably to be checked against this NVAR entry, and replacing it after seeing that there is a difference.

Hello,

I'm a little lost on which tools/files to install and download. I used AIDA64 and Rw to extract everything. I am hoping to get the bios fully unlocked. Any setting possible.

Here's what you need to do @ChasW & @xul8tr

@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you for letting me know before attempting to further flash this. Here is the copy of my dumped bios.
