@Aaron1108 - I only have user dump. Do you need BIOS to recover with? If yes, send me your bricked dump, and I will fix a BIOS for you

@wizdumb - Send me your unedited BIOS region only, but make sure this dump is created AFTER you already disable the BIOS lock etc.

@shtooka - Look at chip with your eyes, magnifying glass and flashlight may be needed, software is not always correct.
For actual chip GD25B127 use 1.18 with chip ID GD25Q128
For GD25B128C use 1.34 and BIOS ID GD25Q128 Or Colibri with this same ID - or ASProgrammer 1.41 and exact chip ID

FPT we are dumping BIOS region only, flash programmer is dumping entire chip. Flash programmer is not required here, unless you are trying to recover from a brick.
If you have flashrom working, send me dump from that only, should be all we need I am on limited internet, so did not download above, sounds like a lot of files for no reason.
Notepad is not a good way to look at BIOS, if you want to see if two dumps are same, compare then via compare function in a hex editor.

@Lost_N_BIOS
Im double-checked it
25B127DSIG as i see on photo and with own eyes.

But flashrom doesnt have that variant, only GD25Q127C/GD25Q128C or GD25B128B/GD25Q128B so i make 2 backups, cause i dont know which is right
That link for GD25Q127C/GD25Q128C https://www.sendspace.com/file/19e9mf
That for GD25B128B/GD25Q128B https://www.sendspace.com/file/6lrunh

ps. I got why flashrom not working at first. If i run ch341a driver from your tools folder, flashrom doesnt working until im do a reboot. After reboot is working only flashrom, programmer need drivers to run again.
Just in case i make a dump from 1.18 version with ID GD25Q128 https://www.sendspace.com/file/1qb30s

Just quick remind, mine brick was caused by turning auto mode in RAM overclock section, i cant remember which exactly options, there were about 10 delay-related and BLCK multiplier (stupid decision) if you just make them on default im sure my lap will revive. Thank you. In general I had random shutdowns(sudden black screen with spinning fans with no response until reboot) when I do something cpu+gpu intensive and its reminding me CPU short-circuit because of high temperature (but i had 80-90*C max and on GPU 80-84*C max) I even try to disable all protection but that not helping, the second thought was some 2 RAM sticks incompatibility or something like that and after that i broke my bios.

@shtooka - I am on limited internet, please put all files into a single max compressed zip or rar, thanks
I cannot change things to default unless you know the exact settings by name, all of them, and told me. And then maybe I could, if other things didn't corrupt at same time (probably this)
Sounds like dying graphics card to me, or yes, CPU thermal shutdown is possible too, 90C is HOT at that sensor may not be correct, also may not be the one used when shutdown is invoked.
80's is HOT for GPU too, sounds like you need to at least blow out the fans and ports on this system, and redo both CPU/GPU thermal paste

@Lost_N_BIOS
Here is https://www.sendspace.com/file/qiw2wy 15mb for 3 files didnt think about it, sorry.

I tryed everything, fans and radiators are clean, I even using LM about 1 year, it not help. More simply to turn laptop in typing machine with disabled GPU i think :)

Hello @Lost_N_BIOS,

First of all, thanks for doing what you're doing, much appreciated.

Just wondering if you could help me please?

I have a BIOS for a PC Specialist Recoil III , a UK retailer for what is a TongFang GK7CP7S.

The BIOS version I have is N.1.55, supplied by the retailer following an issue where the GPU would underperform uness a sleep/wake cycle was performed

Still have the issue and wondering if there is something in the unlocked BIOS that I can switch

This link is to the BIOS file supplied by PC Specialist, wasn't sure if i needed to do anything else?

I'm not allowed to post links apparently, so had to split out across lines sorry

Any help you can provide will be appreciated
Thanks

I use this BIOS, but I hope to change the manufacturer to mechrevo, and the model is x8ti plus series gk7cn6s. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

@Lost_N_BIOS
Hi. No progress?

Trying to sort out. Maybe that can help to you? All of that options must be on default(screenshot)
Even dont need all i think, only set custom profile to default and turn off overclock option(in case if all other options overclock-related is automatically turning off)

@Lost_N_BIOS
Cant get where is variables. Seems they not here at all. I need NVRAM bios part? But its binary. Or i can got ID from setup and search through hex editor. Help.

@shtooka - Stuff you changed is below where you are in above screenshot. Anyway, I cannot tell you how to change all this in NVRAM, it's much harder than it may seem due to how NVRAM is compiled, I need to write out a guide for that before it could be easy to those unfamiliar.
Plus, since BIOS crashed and bricked on you this is probably not the only issue, and changing what you changed back probably would not make it bootable. I will just put you back to defaults. Do you have a FPT BIOS region backup from before it bricked? If yes, please attach

What model do you have, I can't find any previous folder I have for you, so need your model so I can put your BIOS dump into correct folder and so I have correct base/stock BIOS to use to fix etc
All 3 files are 100% hex match, so all the dumps are OK for read, but may not be OK for write. I'd stick to flashrom vs using 1.18 for write, but it could be OK.

@Aaron1108 - Such changes are not ideal. If you want to crossflash to other model, it MUST be compatible, tested by others and they said OK. Generally speaking, if you have same Tongfang model as the one you want to use, AND same graphics card as that model, then you can crossflash to it.
Be sure to flash EC and BIOS together, using stock method. If you just want unlocked BIOS, you do not need to crossflash for that, all you have to do is dump your current BIOS region with FPT and send to me, I will unlock it for you

@monkeyrear - I will unlock for you tonight, out of time for right now, sorry. I doubt a BIOS setting will help with what you mentioned, but maybe you will get lucky.

What model do you have, I can't find any previous folder I have for you

@shtooka - Thanks for model, is the BIOS you are using Cyberpower or Mechrevo one, and do you know what BIOS version you were using? If not, I'll find out in dump later when I have time
Chipsec not needed here

@Lost_N_BIOS My model is OP-LP2 actually, all our GK5CN6Z bioses and EC are compatible. Im using XMG 1.09 BIOS (all BIOS and EC is having different TDP modes, fan logic etc. depending on seller and even within one seller too)

@Lost_N_BIOS I have a new avell A62 (i7 10750h and rtx 2060 refreshed with tdp in 90w, 64gb ram @2667mhz) i was looking for unlock my own bios and change tdp of my rtx 2060 to 115w instead of 90w, and i had some questions too, can i dump it using software and put the unlocked one with software too (if yes, which one, can u send me a link?) thank you. and i wanted to know if the picture i took is from the right chip bios on my laptop (https://drive.google.com/file/d/18v52NVj...iew?usp=sharing)

Edit: my bios version image link(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6t6X1V...iew?usp=sharing) and i could dump or rewrite my bios too using this tutorial ([GUIDE] The Beginners Guide to Using a CH341A SPI Programmer/Flasher (With Pictures!)) *but i would prefer to do everything by software in windows, if possible* or what bios i could use for reach 115w in the rtx 2060 and that i can undervolt cpu unlock tdp and overclock memory and change latency too.

@shtooka - Yes, I know all are cross-compatible that have same base hardware, but I asked so I could put your BIOS into proper folder.
I only had the cyberpower and mechrevo GK5CN6Z in the folder I was looking at, the Overpowered ones I didn't have in there and forgot, same for XMG
So, you're using this BIOS then >> XMG-NEO-15-M18-XNE15M18-GK5CN6X_N.1.09?

@Lonely wolf - Yes, that looks like BIOS chip, for GD25B127 use 1.18 with chip ID GD25Q128 >> http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...213094641136166 (Or yes, flashrom will work too, as you mentioned)
Yes, you can do all this with software if you want! Sorry, I can't answer your last question

If you want to do via software, we start here >> send me file from #1, and tell me what error you get at #2

@Lost_N_BIOS so i did exactly like the tutorial here is my bios in zip, all fpt operation said successful too onyl thing was written in the write is gbe region does not exist but finished successful as mentioned before. my dump is attached, thanks
