how is this?

Probably worse, I usually can't download from Microsoft, attach here as zip
* edit - never mind, got it!

sorry. lol. here it is.

I got it from MS. What BIOS version are you using? Sorry, I should have had you send FPT BIOS region dump also, so I'm sure the variable is same as others here

What is the version of fpt i need? also, if handy, share?

This is what i got. So the dump went well but can not write back.

I don't need to see any of that info. Send me the created biosreg.bin dump though (in zip)
Of course you cannot write back, that's the reason we're here doing the other stuff
Sorry, I thought you'd read most of this thread already, or at least last few pages, I assumed too much but it's OK we'll get there

See attached. And i did read through stuff, but i didnt know which part exactly would unlock the write protect.

I can follow instructions though :)

Well since you didn't know about FPT, I assumed maybe you just jumped right in at the end
We disable FPRR/PRR that blocks FPT BIOS region write (error 167) via use of H2OUVE. I get the variable to use to do that with your BIOS region dump above.

Here is modified vars, Program back in same way you dumped, but use this command >> H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...642791335054620

Ignore errors, reboot and then dump BIOS region once again with FPT (delete previous, or move etc), and then send me the new BIOS region dump (you can now write back BIOS region with FPT)
Once I have the new dumped BIOS region I will unlock the menus for you and send back modified BIOS region dump that you will then flash back in using FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin

Attached bios dump after rewriting vars.

also, i can now flash the bios. so write protect is gone. thank you for that!

but give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, teach him how to fish..... lol.
i would love to know the methods needed to get to this point.

Thanks, here is unlocked BIOS menu, how to do menu edit is in post #78 on page 6, see also info/tools on page 5 if you want even more info for editing stock values of some of this.

Flash that ^^ back using this command >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregnewunlocked.bin

To get variable to unlock FPRR you extract setup PE32 body from bios region using UEFITool, generate IFR using Universal IFR extractor, use the varstore ID (0x5) from IFR 4570B7F1-ADE8-4943-8DC3-406472842384 to see which areas of the vars to edit (x2)
Edit the FPRR (VarOffset/VarName): 0x6D1 << edit this in both locations found in vars from 01 to 00 to disable this lock.

*** 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.

Coming back after months ...

New RTX 2060/2070 Vbios supplied to OEM with 115W TDP ...

Looking for it and will try to flash my rtx with new voltage LPPRD6X 1.25 V against 1.35V before ...

wish it will work ...

@coolgeevee @Restrected - I "Think" we can do via FPT, I tried to look back and confirm but this thread is too long. * Found it!

coolgeevee - Please link me to your stock BIOS download page

Restrected - if you want to dump and mod yourself with programmer, I posted the edit edit to make for menu unlock here in post #78

To do without programmer, both of you, please download this package and follow along so we can disable FPRR (error 167) and allow FPT BIOS region reflash of mod BIOS

Run the command shown below from the folder that contains the exe, using Admin CMD Prompt. Then upload vars.txt to me
Select that folder which exe is directly inside, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
If you are on Win10 install this registry edit that adds "Open command window here as Administrator" to the right click menu
Double-click to install, reboot after install may be required (Do reboot just to be sure)
