@Esurient - Great you got it! Now, please confirm after you did the RU, you redid step #1 and deleted previous file or used a new name, and then at step #2 you only flashed in the newly dumped BIOS region from new step #1 dump?
If not, and you flashed in old BIOS region dump from step #1 before, you need to re-unlock things in RU, then do step #1 again after you are done, use a new name and then confirm flash back (step #2) with this newly dumped file.
Otherwise you flash back in the locked BIOS if you did not create newly dumped BIOS region post RU unlock, before attempting step #2

@Lost_N_BIOS Yeah, I deleted the original .bin file, Dumped the changed bios, and then flashed the new .bin using the same name.

TLDR: Still unlocked

@Esurient - Ha, thanks, yes, that was TLDR - Great you did it proper
Here is your unlocked BIOS, flash back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin

*** 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.
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)

*** WARNING *** - This BIOS is user specific! If you are not user Esurient at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!!
If you do, and you are not Esurient , then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well.
You have been warned!!!

@Lost_N_BIOS Thanks for all the help and patience just wanted to clarify, does this custom BIOS already have Core Voltage Control enabled? or do I have to do something extra?

Edit: Just read the Changelog, Thanks again.
And when undervolting I would just enable XTU interface, get a good value that works under stress and then maybe apply it through BIOS.

@Esurient - You're welcome! And yes, it should, if there is anything you find missing let me know and I will look into making it visible for you
Undervolting, I am not sure what is best way to test things out, sorry, I don't have any of these so I can't advise on that kind of thing. Sounds like you're getting it sorted out though

Hello!

First of all, sorry about my english, im still learning 😅
I've just seen this thread looking for some way to activate my 3200 ram in bios and some way to lower temps thinking my laptop with K processor would have unlocked bios but... Really disappointing


I have the aero 15 XB oled with this BIOS (FD06 i saw in BIOS): https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/B...d06-ec-f004.zip

Just read all pages and i saw @Esurient has the same model as me and i've just made all steps. I've disabled BIOS lock with RU and i could read and write with FPT. I attach a screenshot of cmd in case you see some problem that I don't.




I would like to know if @Lost_N_BIOS could help me with the BIOS modding bc this world is new to me.
Obviously i would help you if i know how can i donate you or something 😄🍻😊

This is the dump file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...836347393218467

And one last thing, i have a raid-0 disks, would it be a problem ?

Thank you!

@nanonandi - You're English is fine Thanks for all the info up front
RAID!!! Since this is MOST important here! Either, always be 100% sure you have re-enabled RAID before you let windows start trying to load, OR remove the drives in advance while you work on things, and only put them back in once done and you have enabled RAID again.
Generally though, you are dumping current BIOS and current settings, and I am unlocking menu, all current settings should remain in place/set as they are now, so I think you will be OK Just make sure before you exit BIOS that RAID is enabled still

Esurient was on BIOS FD05, lucky for you it sounds like BIOS Lock variable was still the same on FD06
Mod BIOS coming in a few, refresh page in about 10 minutes and mod BIOS link will be here >>

@nanonandi - Sorry for the delay, here's your unlocked BIOS - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...962649946141372

I had luck with that lock variable 🤣
Thank you very much @Lost_N_BIOS you are a genious ! a wizard ! a witcher ! :D

@nanonandi - Yes, that was luck, it was first thing I looked at when I downloaded your dumped BIOS region, to be sure both were same in FD05/FD06.
They stay same a lot, but it's those times you forget to check, then you know it, and it's changed to something else during updates!
You're welcome, and thank you again

@Lost_N_BIOS Hi, I'm looking for some help if you have the time. I have the Gigabyte Aero 15 XB (2070 Super Max-Q, Non-OLED) and I'm looking to unlock the BIOS settings. I see you have done this for @Esurient, however, I'm little stuck with what information is required to do this. I've followed the instructions up to creating the FTP dump, and that's where I'm stuck, could you ELI5 the steps for me?

Thanks for your help in advance, its really appreciated,

James.

Edit: ok, I think I've got this working now, sorry @Lost_N_BIOS this has been a steep learning curve....

@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you for this! Works perfectly. Now to figure out the optimal settings. Do you have any tips?

Thanks,

@jamied281 - Thanks for quick test and report back!! Glad to hear all went smoothly and you've got nice unlocked BIOS now
No, sorry, I don't have any tips about settings for these, I use desktop always

has anyone successfully gotten 3200 mhz memory to work in their 9th gen intel proc via XMP via a modded bios? I have an XA (9750h) and was looking to do this but didn't want to invest in the memory at the higher clock rate unless this has been done before

Appreciate the help!

@dlinfiniti - Here you go, flash it back via FPTw.exe -bios -f unlockedm.bin
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...445398946487969

You should be able to do 3200, if your CPU can handle it, which it should I would think. What memory do you have now?
You can OC current memory and see, just make timings super loose and see how far you can push it, then you should get good idea if you'll be able to easily use native 3200 or not.
