So how you say my mod didn't work then, did you try it at all? If yes, as I asked, how did you flash it? If you are using programmer to test it, did you erase chip, then blank check, before you write and verify BIOS?
If not, please do that first, otherwise you never know if you get complete BIOS as input or it skips some data already there due to not being erased first

Yes, FPT will give you that error until you unlock BIOS lock via grub, here is guide
[GUIDE] Grub Fix Intel FPT Error 368 - BIOS Lock Asus/Other Mod BIOS Flash

So you can start at step #5 in the guide, Your variable is >> 0x8BE
Rename your .efi file to >> Shell.efi

Then at grub prompt >> Setup_var 0x8BE 0x0

Then it's done, will remain until you reflash any stock BIOS that has the lock enabled (I disabled it in the file I sent you)
Then you can use >> FPTw.exe -bios -f filename.bin

So you did that with the BIOS I sent? I didn't send a complete BIOS, so that is not possible method to program with like that, otherwise it will be a brick, unless you put BIOS region into a complete BIOS file, then programmed it?

I saw it was just the BIOS part, and before loading it I added the DESC and ME part

@Lost_N_BIOS - I spent several hours today to edit in hex without result.
I started from the most logical thing,
replacing at 000022bc the menus 12.13.14.15.16 and 1A;
to 000312b4 (menu to hidden) I put 16.17.18.19 and 1B, and at 00056b14 (menu visible) I put 12.13.14.15.16 and 1A.
The logic would say that this is the right way...... but always appear the 5 usual menus !!!!
Even, in a moment of frustration, I substituted all entries at 000022bc
11 27 12 27 13 27 14 27 15 27 1A 27 FF FF FF FF with FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
and again, appear the usual 5 menus !!!!!!
Stuff not to believe !!!!

Maybe the solution is somewhere else, do not you think ?

@fv1862 - OK, only was making sure you were flashing BIOS, but since you were programming too then it's no doubt.
I couldn't see how all your edit tests, and mine too, all fail with nothing happening, usually at least maybe see some menu missing or failed startup/BIOS entry, bricking etc when BIOS mods are bad, part of the process you know.

Here is the exact edits I made, my notes before editing, should have worked! I will take another look tonight.

^^ Chipset Removed, goes to 000312b4

Then enabled Chipset Root in AMIBCP - take my mod BIOS file and set this back to default (Chipset >> Default in AMIBCP) as secondary test.
Sorry, I meant to send you a second BIOS like this in same package but forgot.

Yes, somewhere else may also be needed to be edited, but I think since BIOS setup this way it would have to be another edit on top of this one or this part of the BIOS wouldn't look this way and match up with hidden menus etc.
I will look in assembly tonight, maybe some jump needs bypassed in setup PE32 module.

@fv1862 - New bypass via assembly/hex on AMITSE/PE32 @ 0xf8a27h - please test both, thanks

This info is from the CHIPSET1 file you did yesterday ? I had extracted the forms to see what you would have changed......
I wanted to ask you, in your opinion, at 00056b14, what is the use of the string 1B (save and exit) when under Is the other string 1A?
[img][/img]
yesterday, I had replaced the string 1B with 13, and the save and exit in menu is visible....

That is the enabled/visible menu, but I think Save & Exit there anyway due to being suppressed via Setup/IFR, mentioned that in my notes included in first download.
But, let me look in assembly and see what that looks like in that area

I cannot see your image, just upload, hit insert, that is all. I see now
So you removed >> 4a 10 59 7b 0d c0 58 41 87 ff f0 4d 63 96 a9 15 1b 27 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
And inserted >>>> 4a 10 59 7b 0d c0 58 41 87 ff f0 4d 63 96 a9 15 13 27 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
? If yes, then should be attempting to enable Chipset (if all other things allow at the time), not save and exit. I already added 1327 to this list in edit I sent you yesterday.
Since chipset enable is failing, but you replaced that string, that's removing save & Exit from that list. Maybe it's a block list instead of enable (and I have it backwards?) I did think those top two being in this list looked odd, if it was "visible" list

Maybe all along, I have hidden/visible backwards? I don't think so though, due to short list and I checked your BIOS images vs the settings shown in AMIBCP/Setup IFR
I'm looking it all over again now, maybe figure something out if above file does not make any progress. I'll check your images again vs AMIBCP & Setup/IFR and make sure I have correct ones as hidden and enabled in my lists

@Lost_N_BIOS - BINGO !!

@fv1862 - Awesome! Assembly success again! Thanks for checking both, good to know either method works I really need to learn more about using assembly, I'm sure it can make my life much easier, but I hate hopping in there knowing so little.
So, that change was on top of all other changes I made previously, so you know. This means I did have the hidden/visible menus and their locations correct in AMITSE, just have that other block to bypass.
As you can see 1227 and 1527 there also, so if you go after advanced 2, you need to 00 or FF there as well. In that block, I only FF/00'd the short ID 1327, did not touch other bytes because it's jump directions and address/locations etc.

Now, you can compare all settings in each of those sub menus and make sure all visible, if not change in AMIBCP to User for any missing setting.

BTW, no [img] tags needed here, only upload, insert

Now, you need to enable other more advanced main, second advanced (leave first probably, usually some in each not in other), second boot if you like settings in it, and maybe even swap save and exits' Then chipset wont be on far left once you enable other Main.

@Lost_N_BIOS

First of all, many thanks. Today I will check to make some changes to release ADVANCED 2,
since the XMP settings have moved them from CHIPSET to ADVANCED (the 2),
[img][/img]
in the meantime if you find how to enable ADVANCED let me know.
Thanks again Bro

@fv1862 you're welcome! I know how to enable advanced 2 right now, same way I did the chipset (All changed mentioned at post #21), all same but do for advanced ID and now + including this last bit at 0xf89e0h area.

What page is that showing in your image, what section? But yes, memory overclocking is at Advanced 2 >> OverClocking Performance Menu >> Memory Overclocking Menu

If you need me to get advanced enabled for you to let me know

@Lost_N_BIOS

I also deleted the 12 27 at 0xF8A18 and voila ....

[img][/img]

I cannot thank you enough.

Ha, good job, knew you could do it! So was that all, you didn't have to do the other edits from post #21, add Adv twice and remove once from those lists? You can rename it to Advanced 2 in AMIBCP if you want.
