Good day. Is it possible to unlock for me hidden menu for my laptop. I read a lot but still scaring to make a brick.
DUMP

@Alitsie - Yes, I can unlock for you. I did the GL753VD here for your reference - Help to unlock hidden menu in ASUS GL753VD (unlocked BIOS image posted at post #7)

Check BIOS main page and see if ME FW version is shown, if not then download HWINFO64 and on the large window on left side, expand motherboard and find ME area, inside that get the ME Firmware version.
Once you have that, go to this thread and in the section "C" download the matching ME System Tools Package (ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc) The GL753VD used 11.6, so yours probably similar unless very old BIOS
Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools

Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt type the following command and send me the created file to modify >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

Right after you do that, try to write back the BIOS Region dump and see if you get any error, if you do show me image of the command entered and the error given >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin

If you are stuck on Win10 and cannot easily get command prompt, and method I mentioned above does not work for you, here is some links that should help
Or, copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a USB Bootable disk and do the dump from DOS (FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin)

Normally I would ask you for BIOS images, but I assume it's basically same as the VD model, so I can use those to do the edit here.

Yes. I checked already that thread. Version of bios in that post is 307. My version is 308. The last one on asus website. Visually same as VD version

Yes, that is different model too, and the BIOS is user specific, so you wouldn't want to use it for those two reasons anyway. I only linked that to show you that yes, I already have unlocked this series of BIOS type.
I don't need BIOS from Asus, probably already have it anyway I didn't check, but it's not used for this process anyway.

So is it enough dump only for you?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Hello buddy, I can't get those menu should I extract AMISE and Setup module from your GL753VD modded and unlocked ROM and use those module to replace the same module in my GL753VE locked (hidden menu) to unlocked it ?

it's been 4 days trying in vein and I think I need your help

@Alitsie - Yes, do as you see below, then I will help you past error, then you make BIOS region dump again and send me that final one (after unlock from error in step #2)

@alecours - NO, that will = brick! You can't extract anything from another models BIOS, not even from your own models BIOS but different version

Please do as below, at step #2 if/when you get error show me image, then we get past that, then you make new FPT dump and send to me as mentioned above

Will do as soon as I get back home, thanks alot :)

@Lost_N_BIOS here no error (capture.png to double check me :x)


my biosreg.bin is located inside the biosreg.zip
command used :
fptw64 -bios -d biosreg.bin

thanks you alot <3

@alecours - You're welcome! Be careful, FPT can be a dangerous tool, please follow directions (@ FPTw64)
Good to see you already disabled BIOS/SMI Lock

This is poorly modified BIOS, messy etc I'm not going to edit on top of failed incorrect modifications
Please flash stock BIOS using stock method (ie EZ Flash in BIOS I think), and then send me new dump (after you again unlock BIOS/SMI Lock w/ grub first)

there stock BIOS 308 dump still no error with fptw

biosreg.bin inside biosreg.zip
@Lost_N_BIOS

Nice, so BIOS Lock disabled by default on this model you mean? If yes, that's nice, less you have to mess with
Sorry, leaving now, but I will get this done and back to you first thing tonight

No problems buddy thank you very much

No it's lock by default had to setup_var 0x8aa 0x0 in bios before, I thought it was worth mentioning that I had no error still with stock bios, cause I repeated the exact same step after reflashin with EzFlash3 the original bios from asus 😁 (flashed stock bios > unlock bios (var 8AA to 0x0) > dumped with fptw > flashed back the dump i did, got no error > then i dumped again with fptw and uploaded the file)

Again thanks you very much <3

incorrect modification are from me it's my very first MB bios mod, it's the first time for me, im used to VBIOS mod for RX GPU for mining OC and get more hashrate per GPU, but bios mod have so much stock in it, and I don't know if i have a dual bios on this MB if i fuck shit up (a bit why I asked your help, after seeing you on many forums helping people)

Not so important and not really related to this thread that make me feel so noob after 15 years of modding/rooting/jailbreak/and everything in this vein, but I wish to understand the file Menu Info.txt that you put in the GL753VD bios mod (linked in post #2) if never you want ^^

@alecours - You're welcome! The BIOS setting lock disabled shouldn't have carried over when you reflash BIOS, but I guess maybe if how you flashed didn't reset NVRAM then it might be (especially if same BIOS version I guess).

It's OK about the incorrect edits, there's so much info out there on how to edit an AMI BIOS, and all are very different, so each one needs inspected and possibly few things tested, before you can know which method apply to what BIOS.
So, I can understand how incorrect edits get done often by people trying to figure things out after reading about "Some" AMI BIOS unlock methods.

What you have in the spoiler above is an actual edit for unlocking menus, it's my notes, from a previous BIOS edit for that other model.
Here, this guide (See end, spoiler) will explain the AMITSE/SetupData edit info above - OverPowered TONGFANG CyberPower Machrevo MACHENIKE - Unlocked BIOS Guide W/ Files
I will give you same edit notes from GL753VE BIOS 308 once I am done, then you can use above guide, and the edit note info, to compare extracted modules before/after and see how the notes/edits are applied (I'll include before/after mod files, so you can quickly see)

Doing edit now

* Edit @alecours - Mod BIOS done, here is your mod BIOS and package with notes and edited before/after files so you can learn (notes in spoiler below as well, for anyone wanting reference later)

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

*** WARNING *** This BIOS is user specific, if you are not alecours, do not flash this BIOS!!!
If you do, you will loose all your board specific details such as serial, UUID, LAN MAC ID etc. - You have been warned!

@Lost_N_BIOS
I think I'm falling in love, thanks alot again will study notes for sure thanks you so much again <3

@alecours - You're welcome
