@Lost_N_BIOS upp

@yuemtr - What is this/your actual Tonfang model, without the x's in there?
The file you linked is stock BIOS package, thank you, but I need your own personal FPTw BIOS region dump, then I can unlock BIOS for you >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
Not sure who/what post you're referring to when you mention " same bios as the above friend." I don't see anyone with same/similar models on previous page? What post # were you referring to?

@eRRoRs - Did you ask them in email for the latest BIOS/EC package? Any BIOS users send would be user specific, unless they requested the stock package and got that and sent to me.
I checked, and I do not have any BIOS (Stock or otherwise) for Eluktronics Max-15 or any Tongfang GM5MP0Y

I need also image of your advanced page, top to bottom, and for you to select "Light Effect" and make it pop-up so I can see all options on a secondary advanced image, plus one of boot page too.

I can unlock any BIOS version, so you do not need latest. Yes, you can change memory timings, and CPU voltages etc (have to be careful with that or soft-brick though)
Do not mess with switching graphics, unless you have programmer in hand and backup made, or you will get a soft brick there too and no way to fix without programmer. Often you can't enable or disable one graphics or the other, most systems don't work that way
Since you mentioned both things in my main warning, it's here below for you now Also, now that you made a post, you can now post links, so you can give me link to your biosreg file
Please put all requested images and biosreg into single max compressed zip, thanks

*** WARNING - To ANYONE with laptop and unlocked BIOS!!!! ***
DO NOT try to enable this graphics card or disable that card, switch cards etc. Otherwise you will end up with no display output (ie black screen) and no way to recover except by blind flash or with flash programmer.
You can change graphics related settings, like changing memory sizes, or core speeds etc, just don't try to disable one card or change which is main etc.

@aaaaaa889 - Make a thread, then I can help, this thread is not for Lenovo. In general, AMIBCP may break the BIOS, that just means you need to make whatever changes manually instead, or you are using wrong AMIBCP version etc.
Additionally, be very careful when trying to undervolt CPU, you can leave BIOS unbootable due to CPU voltage too low (Sometimes even 0.05 is too much)

Okay, so first thank you for your time for that. And congrats on being a mod now!
I saw a post from @Crunch on page 13 #181 and #186 he says he has a max-17 with an rtx 2060, which I suppose is the same motherboard for the bigger than mine chassis but I am not sure about his CPU model.
I asked in email but I was turned down on that. Got all the images including LightEffect and LightBarEffect subpages and also the Switchable graphics one and the biosreg file you requested in this google drive: https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/103xj0wWVA2rELO-8ZJRC8qqczyD10GC2?usp=sharing

On the switching graphics warning... My Laptop is equiped with a Multiplexer (MUX) Switch which makes it possible to switch between dGPU, iGPU and MsHybrid as you can see in the pictures, which is very handy to be honest as FPS games love the dGPU mode so much.
Does the warning still apply to me and does that mean I will lose that capability if I unlock the BIOS?

@eRRoRs - You're welcome, and thank you too!
For MAX 17 I have two Tonfang model names in different folders, so maybe different CPU or graphics cards, not sure >> GM7MQ8P + GM7CP0P
Either way, does not matter, I will do your BIOS directly anyway, so no worries

I do have stock BIOS for MAX 17 BIOS N.1.03 >> GM7CP0P / GM7CPXPN103. But that is the only one I have.
From the file name and Tonfang name you mentioned, to me, it does not look like you could or should try using either one of the Tonfang models I mentioned above, they are not even close to yours, even if you switch 7 to 5 for 15/17
I'd need to see a dump from your exact system before I could tell you if either of those BIOS above would be usable on your system, but this 1.03 is the only stock one I have so if no match then I can't help you update past 1.01
Maybe you can find newer in google, using your proper tonfang model name.

Switch in BIOS does not mean it works, have you already enabled/disabled that, and either way = no black screen? If yes, then OK/Good!
The warning is about when you try to disable one graphic card mainly, often this = black screen with no way to see to recover without using a flash programmer.
You would not loose anything with unlocked BIOS, only add more options.

Please re-upload all that, in a single max compressed zip/rar/7zip - Sorry, I am on limited internet
Ohh! Also, please, if you know how, resize ALL the images to 1000 px wide only, save as jpeg or PNG, I only need to see them for a second, so 100-300kb per image is more than plenty.
Thanks

@Lost_N_BIOS - I got it resized and compressed with all the files on this archive: drive.google.com/file/d/1xNihsldTjrTv1DaSkmkg3CdIXUoGToaS/view?usp=sharing Its 5MB as a whole with everything in it, I hope it`s okay.
My switch in bios works perfectly, in fact it came with MsHybrid as default I tried every single option and now I am usin discreteGPU as the best one.

Can you please unlock my bios i have an EVOO GK7CP0S https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ifDqIPN...iew?usp=sharing
thank you.

@eRRoRs - Here is your unlocked BIOS, flash it back via FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm2.bin
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...726322279884743

@atmos101 - Here is your unlocked BIOS, flash it back via FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregM.bin
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...308136860182774

Warning for you both >>

Hi guys,
I have a question

i started having this issue where plugging the laptop crashes the windows and it only boots up on battery I don't know if flashing or updating the bios will help
the last thing i did before this was undervoltion using throttle stop


things I've tried
clearing the bios(removing the battery and the cmos batter for 1 day)
new windows
new ssd and ram

the system does turn on, but to use it while plugin, i need to run half the cpu cores, i don't know if this is a bios issue


I'm using an eluktronic mech g2
core i7 9th gen with 1660 ti graphic

@Lost_N_BIOS can u tell if my bioschip is GD25Q128B or GD25Q128C? There is a photo of this linked
----------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS and i got the backup file of ftp but when i try to use flashrom to write it says i can't because doesnt match, there is a way of i make the file of fpt works ?

@painsiy - Sounds like maybe EC FW or ME FW is messed up possibly. Or could be a messed up CPU? What is the exact model CPU, and is it the one that originally came with the system?
Can you see ME FW version on BIOS Main page, or with HWINFO64 as shown below


@Lonely wolf - For actual chip GD25B127 use 1.18 with chip ID GD25Q128, or ASProgrammer using the GD25Q128C
Looks like GD25B127DSIG to me, not either of the models you mentioned - See page #54 for model breakdown - https://www.gigadevice.com/datasheet/gd25b127d/

128C PDF here, pg 27 for naming breakdown - https://www.gigadevice.com/datasheet/gd25q128c/

FPT only used here, not flashrom (unless you mean flashrom to recover full BIOS via flash programmer)
If you want full file to use in flashrom for recovery via flash programmer, you have to dump full BIOS with FPT (FPTw.exe -d SPI.BIN), what we normally dump/mod/reflash here is only partial BIOS dump of the BIOS region only (FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin) << This is missing FD/ME/GbE
If you need me to make you a full BIOS for recovery with flash programmer I can do, send me a dump of your current BIOS contents via CH341A + any previous working FPT bios region backup

@Lost_N_BIOS i will send the fpt file (the old one that is working)with 13.8mb and one backup (i did now and its broken), what i needed is a full size 16.8mb for recovery could u reset the settings too? I tried one setting in the i7 and it refuses to boot i thought i had one backup of it but i don't, so u could make it?
-------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS or if u could reset all to default settings like a factory reset would be really useful too. I just want this laptop boot, so biosregm is the fpt(working) and backuptest the flash (broken),

@Lost_N_BIOS
I'll get the photo to you Monday

Hello everyone, first of all I congratulate you for your magnificent work, I am from the Dominican Republic and I am new to the forum and this from bios unlock, etc, my problem is the following: I got an overpowered laptop op-lp3 "gk5cn6x / gk5cn6z and the problem is that it enters the bios well but when I try to enter windows it freezes or restarts or gives bsod always in very few times it has started but ends up giving bdso soon after

update the bios to the last update of the official page through efi since I can not enter the operating system but the page only gives you the option to download the bios and I do not see the part to download the EC only the bios, and Before blaming part of the hardware, I would like to start with the bios, I tried with more than 4 different ram memories, several hard drives and always the same error, thanking you in advance for the probist help, I attach a bios dump extracted by a reader external to see if it can be unlocked
I tested all the memories with memtest and it gives an error in all although they are in optimal conditions in other machines ppr that I want to assume that it is not an error in bios or ec before testing with hardware

@Alis1204
have you tried booting your system on battery only?
seems like we have the same issue

@Alis1204 - Did you clean install windows on this system, or is this windows moved from another system?
EC FW is usually in same package as BIOS and should always be updated when you update BIOS (If you do not have EC FW package, then do not update BIOS!)
If you did update BIOS, but did not update EC FW, this may be the issue, put back old BIOS that goes with the EC FW that's in there now.

OP-LP3 should be this Tonfang model name >> GK7CN6S, at least that is the only OP-LP3 I have seen
I only see gk5cn6x = XMG NEO & UtopiaComputers Mech 15
And gk5cn6z just "Tonfang", but also UtopiaComputers Mech 15 variant & CyberPower NB-408-120 Tracer III

Anyway, the reason I mentioned this, it sounds like maybe you flashed in wrong BIOS for your system, and due to that, or during you did that, you maybe did not also update EC FW

If you are having Memtest errors always, then that means bad memory usually, get some other set and try again before you do other troubleshooting.
The memory may be faulty, or just not compatible. You said you tried other memory, did it also have memtest errors too??

I can unlock the BIOS, no problem there, but that's not going to help anything you mention.

Do you have the stock 1.08 BIOS+EC package for the BIOS you are currently using? If yes, please upload for me, or link me to the BIOS download page

@Lonely wolf - BIOS is 16MB only, not 16.8MB, not sure where you came up with that value?
Is all this about your Avell A62? If yes, I have your original FPT dump and the BIOS I unlocked for you, so we can put you back to stock or unlocked from there.
So yes, I can make you a stock BIOS but only if you have a stock BIOS package from Avell. Otherwise, I can only make one with your original FPT Dump, or modified FPT dump above (I assume I unlocked that?), it's up to you, let me know what you want to do.
What did you dump the above with, flashrom, if not, what software and version.

What did you do to brick the system?
