@johnson2008 - Weird! Please flash back in mod vars, and show be the success/fail list, looking for result from "30" and "55" (from checking varsnow, I assume these = success)
Varsnow looks good, unlocked as expected! Maybe Windows FPT is causing some issue, try DOS (Copy all contents of DOS folder to root of DOS bootable USB + BIOS File)

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!

Is that complete list above?? Please redo and be sure, that stops at 52, if that is the end then 55 is not being flashed!

Please download the following package, and run the command below from each versions folder that directly contains it's exe.
Once done, copy the entire folder somewhere, delete everything but any created vars.txt and then repackage this and send to me, this way all created vars.txt remain in place in the folders of the version that created them.

So, when you flash back mod vars "030" and "055" are both being flashed each time, and success, correct?
If yes, then it should unlock it, if not then it may be also set in BIOS module and that can only be removed via direct edit and programmed back with flash programmer.
Did you try DOS FPT flash, after mod vars flashed in?

I have only helped one other user with this exact model, and it was mainly in PM, not much in his thread. And in his folder I have "Programmer" Dump folder, but it's empty, so not sure what happened there????
@Talon - what happened with your unlock, I think you were going to send me programmer dump, but then never did. Did we unlock your menu? Were we able to FPT flash BIOS region?

Make DOS normally, not EFI DOS, that's not a thing - DOS /= EFI Set Boot type to Legacy, then boot to DOS

For all mod BIOS, you should also do this first >> Disable secure boot, remove any BIOS password, disable TPM/Encryption too in the BIOS. Is all that done now? If not, this may be the issue.
Do all that now, then make dump, then edit it, then flash it back. Then once done, you can put BIOS back however you want.

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks for your help.

The Triton500 PT515 may be the issue. Unable to start with DOS without EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.

BIOS cann't edit BIOS Boot type to Legacy. it isn't has that option...

dos efi boot:

Zitat von Lost_N_BIOS im Beitrag #517
may be the issue.

I tried to use setup_var, but it didn't work.

That is not DOS, that is Shell - If there is a shell version of FPT in your ME System tools you can use that instead, but it's not DOS nor related to DOS. Setup_var not used here, locks already disabled via vars edit.
You are only trying to boot to DOS or Shell if you want, to try alternate FPT Flash, to rule out windows FPT Flash is not doing something correctly. You're welcome

@Lost_N_BIOS

Hi,
FPT Flash in EFI Shell ," fpt.efi -bios -f biosregnewM.bin (unlock bios)" still show 167 PRR error.

then clear BIOS passwd, Secure boot to disable. in EFI shell backup bios.

Attached is new var-nopasswd.txt and efi dump bios.bin. (H2OUVE.exe doesn't find EFI version)

Whether fast boot needs to be disable ?

Thanks

@johnson2008 - Then no need to use EFI Shell FPT, go back to windows as we were, that was only test to see if there was some windows issue with FPT (Which there was not, this was due to your password set, possibly others stuff too)
Not sure what you mean by this >> H2OUVE.exe doesn't find EFI version

Please go back to windows, after you disable secure boot, remove BIOS password, disable TPM/Encryption if enabled, and then make new vars dump with 100.00.16.08 again and send to me.
Once I edit the vars, you flash it back, then reboot and from windows with FPT (not x64) make a new BIOS region dump with new name, and send me that.

@johnson2008 - Program this back, then make new BIOS region dump and make sure to not mix up with any others (toss all others, not needed anyway)
Hopefully this resolves the issue! If not, you will need flash programmer

All unlocked there already, please make new BIOS region dump and send to me to edit
BTW - Fast boot unrelated/not an issue here.
