Ok, I understand, there are no problems

@asusguybios - here, if anything else is missing in new menus, you can enable via AMIBCP edit, change missing items access level to Supervisor

Flash via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f UX550VEModF.bin

* Edit - Sorry I forgot to include these in original package. Here is the stock and modified files, and my notes, so you can see how this is done.

** Warning in advance ** - do not change anything graphics related until you have a flash programmer in your hand, and a full backup created with programmer that's verified and has been confirmed by someone else to be a valid proper dump.
This means do not try to enable this xxx graphic device instead of that xxx one, or enable both, change which is main etc. Otherwise you may end up with black screen and no way to recover except by blind flash or flash programmer recovery.
You have been warned!

** No one else use this BIOS - this is user specific BIOS, if you are not user >> asusguybios then this BIOS isn't for you!
If used by someone else you will loose your serial, UUID, DTS Key, possibly LAN MAC ID and windows keys etc.
You have been warned! **

Oh my god. It's working. I'm so happy.

I would be glad if you provide small guide and editions you have made. Thank you so much! <3

Please see my edit above for link to that info, sorry I forgot to include all that originally, got too excited to send BIOS to you because I knew you were waiting

Thanks for quick confirmation all is working

Thanks a lot.
The first problem-question: when I enter the last (Save & Exit) tab, it is stucking for 5-10 seconds, but then it opens normally
Is it normal? Maybe it's scanning something?

Did you load optimal, then reboot? If not, do that and confirm this is constant issue. It shouldn't happen. You are seeing new save and exit correct, not same old one?
If always happens try changing the other Save and Exit at AMIBCP to Supervisor at the root of setup to Supervisor too (I may have gotten those reversed, it always confuses me since those two are next to each other )
If that fixes it, then put the one I changed to Supervisor to default, and leave only the other one Supervisor.

I've noticed that you are using IDA Pro, so my question is these menus can be shown somehow without editing? Why they are exists?
I'm asking about purpose of these menu? Are engineers could access it somehow? Or someone else?


1. Yes, it's new Save & Exit
2. Do I need to click "restore user defaults" too? Or just "restore defaults"?

IDA, nor any assembly work, was done in this edit. All edits, aside from AMIBCP changes, are included in the above ModInfo package, my notes and all files that were edited.
This was all done with UEFITool, Universal IFR extractor, and hex editor (And AMIBCP for a few changes at end)
Much of which is very similar to the Tongfang guide you mentioned, but your BIOS has a few differences at AMITSE, and maybe some setup differences too (I can't remember if suppress if was used in Tongfang BIOS without looking)

Sorry, I don't know what you mean, or what you are asking above. Do you mean, why are they hidden? Just build on base BIOS for many systems, then engineers enable whatever they want per which system they are creating BIOS for.
But in general, usually all this hidden on all systems, and yes, I'm sure they have some way to enter BIOS with all menus shown by default without having to edit BIOS - thanks for editing in your edit questions

Yes, restore defaults, then reboot and check exit page again and see if that happens still. if it does, then see my post above for possible fix.
Restore User defaults is only for after you make some changes and then save as user defaults, then you can use that later like a "saved profile"

** EDIT ** I see the issue, please wait!

*** Edit 2 @asusguybios - here, if this does not fix it, then do as I mentioned above with AMIBCP
I bet this fixes it though, I think the issue was due to I put new exit ID into main/all menu list twice instead of leaving both old/new in place as was there already in original file

1 minute, need to disable Bios Lock (will change default in amibcp later)

It is so cool that I can disable it using bios)))

I disabled BIOS lock already in mod BIOS, in Setup and in AMIBCP. So if it's still enabled after flashing in a mod BIOS I sent, then you need a NVRAM edit later.

It's odd... I've disabled it using AMIBCP previously and it worked... But with your bios it's enabled by default. Anyway, I'll figure it out later


Save & Exit still lagging for 3-5 seconds, but it's ok i think

Be sure to see my edits above, I sent you new fixed BIOS, in case you missed that. Or did you mean you flashed it and it still stalling on save and exit? If yes, then make changes I mentioned at AMIBCP and see if that sorts it out.
You can also test, setting both Save & Exit's back to "default" Access, that AMIBCP edit may not be needed (to any of the menus) Sometimes after edits I made, AMIBCP edit to access level is not needed at all, all can be left at default, so this may be causing the issue
It's not "OK" We fix it! Can't have iffy BIOS out there

BIOS Lock, it may be due to I disabled at setup & AMIBCP, if AMIBCP only edit disabled it for you before then no need for setup edit and this may be conflicting with AMIBCP edit, so causing it to re-enable for some reason

** Edit @asusguybios - Here, please test each one, does either fix the Save & Exit issue? Be ready, neither may have Save & Exit visible
Both have BIOS lock re-enabled to default value in setup (enabled), so only disabled at AMITSE/Setupdata (AMIBCP disabled only)

@Lost_N_BIOS do you have a bitcoin wallet? I do want to donate you

Will check the latest mode later. Now i'm trying to avoid overheating...

@asusguybios - Thanks! Sorry, I don't have any way you can donate to me, but you can donate to the site at bottom of the page if you want.

Overheating? Are you overclocking too much now? You did clean out your fans and redo the thermal paste on the CPU heatsink before you started doing that, correct?

As quickly as you were trying everything last night, I assumed I'd come back and you'd have already tested all BIOS I sent again, or tried a 100 other things to fix the exit issue by now.
Don't worry, it's not a normal thing for this to happen, I unlock 100's of BIOS a week and have never seen this happen, so don't worry we'll figure it out. Normally I like to do mod slower, checking a few things one at a time, since we didn't do that here it could be the reason for this.

So, result of BIOS in #38?
How about #42 BIOS x2?

If none of those get it, then we can switch it back and see if that fixes things. The only real difference in new exit and old is the ability to save your own profile as a default option
It could be the way we switched boot too, or how I added all the original main three into the last block list in AMITSE, usually I zero that out instead of switching in old for new x3, but since we did this one in a hurry without single tests I did that switch instead.
So, if BIOS from 38+42 do not help, I will remove those and put 00 00 instead, blocking nothing with that last list, that's how I normally would do this.
I will make this edit for you once you let me know how those three BIOS act, so I can confirm if those changes matter or not, or my original Save/Exit edit was OK (except for the issue I fixed with 38, which should always be as it is in that BIOS)
If BIOS from 42 doesn't fix anything, then I will use 38 as base and fix the issue I mention about the last block section in AMITSE, making those 00 00 for the originally blocked main x3 menus (This how I usually do this edit, not sure why I went with swapping in something to block)

* Edit - skip BIOS test in #42, I know outcome there will be no Save & Exit for either
Here is above mentioned fix, how I normally would do this, so I assume this one will be 100% and should be how I did it originally! - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...735290448888711

I need to restore it to try your mods😅😅
I'll send you all information what I have, I really hope we'll flash it


I have tested #32 (UX550VEModF) and #38 (UX550VEModF2) - both lag. I haven't tested anything else because I broke it))
