Thanks, for the info, I assumed it was OK with M-Flash that way, since I found a mod BIOS I made for someone earlier with that same edit you made above
So I can mod stock BIOS and once done it can be provided here for all instead of personal to you from your FPT dump. See my edits above

Please wait patiently, I may not get this done tonight due to limited time, but I will get it done. No need for you to keep trying anything and end up bricking the board, wait and I'll sort it out for you
And yes, once done I will tell you how it's all done.

Thank you so much for your help. how long do making these bios unlocks traditionally take on MSI? not rushing or anything just genuinely curious. and yes I saw the edits, that's awesome.

You're welcome! All MSI are different, some only take a few seconds, others can take an hour or so to try and find what works (when I have board in hand).
Almost all MSI are non-traditional, like for other Z97 boards from Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte etc for example, all can usually be unlocked using same or at least similar edits but MSI always strays far from that standard thing and makes a mess out of their BIOS.
So it's always a hassle/pain unless you already know what needs done for that series/chipset, but once you know then it applies across the board for all similar structured MSI BIOS.

I dug out the H97 board, setting it up now, but may not have time to get it all sorted out tonight. If not I'll try to have done for you by tomorrow and will let you know what edits are used so you can do yourself as test or on next BIOS update etc.
This way will be much easier than both of us than having to give you a bunch of edits to test this and that, then retest this and that, all possibly bricking the BIOS if incorrect edit.
It's safer for you this way, and easier for me since I can test immediately, change, test, recover from brick if needed, edit, test, finalize etc.

* edit - board setup and running - away we go And, it was Z97M-G43, so even closer to your board then I expected (all same BIOS base/mess though, so once edit found it will work on all)

* Edit 2 - What is your goal in the hidden advanced? I noticed in that one, there is no Win8/10 setting (UEFI Boot or legacy)
This can be given back via switching boot menus, then you have full access to fast boot, boot option filter (UEFI/Legacy = Win8.10 setting) and CSM options, but missing secure boot option, and you also loose that Go2BIOS setting on the original boot.
Maybe I can move that submenu into new advanced, not sure though. But, if there is something specific you needed only, maybe it's already in your other advanced and hidden we can just enable that?

I want performance tuning tab mostly and the CPU performance tab,and the non turbo ratio limit setting. I don't really care about the windows 8/10 setting. I don't care about the go2bios setting either as it doesn't really work for me anyways. the thing that got my eye the most was the non turbo ratio limit setting. I can go without those settings and just get the full advanced menu, whatever is easier on you, if you can find the non turbo core ratio limit in the normal advanced menu then that'll work.

I noticed that as I started looking and testing things OK, sounds like straight swap would be OK with you then. All those settings that would be missing, can easily be changed from their default later via AMIBCP edit, if you needed to change them without seeing in BIOS.
Non-Turbo Ratio override, that can be changed anytime while remaining hidden too, but I'm sure you already know that. Testing commences, will update once I'm nearly there

are there any updates on the BIOS? not trying to nag, just curious as it's been a few days :)

@nover - Apologies for the extended delay!! Our modem fried and we had to wait for replacement to arrive from company

Success!!




MSI Z97-PC-Mate BIOS 1C ADV-Mod

I am unable to directly test this BIOS from your model, but BIOS for both boards is nearly exact same and edits were all same locations/changes
I can program this BIOS into my Z97M-G43 board, but once I enter BIOS KB doesn't work on PS/2 or any USB, so I can't toggle around to confirm the menu is there, but I have to asssume it should be based on all my editing done on the other model before success

To do this edit, three modules have to be edited -
1. Setup (not the PE32, but rather GUID_97E409E6-4CC1-11D9-81F6-000000000000) which I assume you know already from your previous IFR outputs
2. Setup PE32 module
2. AMITSE/SetupData (Body)

I considered a few ways and places to do this, and found it to be easiest to accomplish by putting the hidden Advanced as a submenu within the OC menu, replacing an originally hidden Memory PatchID submenu

How-to info below using my board BIOS/files as example for the data/images - so hex locations wont be exact same (For learning purposes )
Edits are same data-wise, just not same exact locations in each module for your BIOS

Edit Setup - PE32 Module (As-is)

Search for this string via hex - EE 2E 20 71 53 5F D9 40 AB 3D 9E 0C 26 D9 66 57
Directly before/above this is the boolean string (Magic string) that controls menu enable(01) / disable (00), usually 12-16 entries

This is based on the main root menu layout/count at AMIBCP ("Settings" through "!!!! PCI Resource ERROR !!!!")
In this case, there is 14 entries, the first 01's you see there are "Settings" and "Overclock" menus enabled.
Those are followed by two disabled 00's - "Green power & Security". Then two more 01 enabled menus for "M-Flash" and "Overclocking Profiles"

Next position is disabled 00 "Main" Menu, rest remaining are exactly as laid out in AMIBCP
We need to enable 01 the next one after "Main" - change to 01 to enable the hidden "Advanced"
So after edit, the magic string will be as follows, with our edit being the bold one on the end >> 01 01 00 00 01 01 00 01

On the above 0x1C word - Edit SetupData (Body) change 01 to 05
This edit = same/same as AMIBCP edit to new entry "Advanced" Access Level Default-Visible=Yes (01) to User-Visible-Yes (05)
Do here while editing AMITSE/SetupData in hex, or do last in AMIBCP, either = same

On this mod overall, further cleanup could be done, but it's not necessary for functionality.
FF'n out the remaining Memory PatchID menu and elements, but fine as-is so no need for further editing.

thank you so much, I flashed it and the keyboard+mouse works perfectly, infact the mouse cursor doesn't have the pop-in pop-out that it had before but I might just be insane :P. all the settings are there. thank you kind sir. and thank you for telling me how you did it, it was very helpful actually!

@nover - Keyboard and Mouse, on your end? Ohh, do you mean due to what I mentioned about KB not working here?
If yes, that's normal, since I was putting it (your BIOS) on a non-similar board, I wasn't sure it would even boot to BIOS but wanted to try so I could get you mod BIOS images from that actual BIOS. Nice to see it maybe fixes some little mouse glitch you had before, good side-effect

Great to hear all is there, thanks! I assumed it would be, base BIOS code for both models is 99.999% exact same so I knew it would work on your model too.
I'm glad I had a board on my end to figure it out, without that I doubt I could have got it sorted out without putting you through a ton of pain and BIOS recoveries, MSI BIOS is such a pain sometimes

Also, good to hear the mod info was helpful for you, now you can redo next time if they ever update your BIOS again

Can somebody give working link on this modded BIOS, pretty please? I know its been a long time, but still.

@Lost_N_BIOS or @nover
Is there any possibility you have still this one on your disk?
Tinyupload is no more and the link is dead, can you upload it somewhere else, please?
I would be very grateful, thanks in advance.

After few hours, thanks to a detailed guide by @Lost_N_BIOS I re-done the mod, tested it and I can confirm that it works without any problems.
Rename extracted modded BIOS file to E7850IMS.4B0 before copying to USB stick.
Flash with M-Flash only on Z97 PC Mate.
Just in case, I don't take any responsibility if you somehow brick your motherboard while trying to use this mod.
I recommend to backup OC Profiles as these get erased during the flash.

All credits go to @Lost_N_BIOS, maybe a little bit to me for testing what I created.

If the files ever get deleted on uploaded servers - write me PM or tag me here and I will re-upload asap.
