@riotatetacos - Hmm! Error 167 can be a pain sometimes, you may need to do pinmod or purchase a flash programmer, but lets hope not! Sometimes it only shows that error when it's really something else causing it and it should have been other error instead
Where is your FPT Dumped BIOS region?? Sorry, I would have mentioned this earlier, but I thought you linked it at #13 when you finally got FPT working in DOS

Please do these two things in DOS now and send me the created files
FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
FPT.exe -desc -d fd.bin

Yes NA

Yo, i am on vacation, and i will try the fd command when i am home on wednesday. Please delete the above comment. I’m on mobile and fucked something up somehow lmfao. I have the file from the biosreg.bin command and ill send you that with the other file ones i am home.

I am home early. Here are the two files created. BIOSREG.BIN and FD.BIN

I am on now and i see you are on so this is a good time to do this.

@riotatetacos - BIOS Lock is enabled everywhere, lets disable that! Please follow guide below, but you can start at step #6 since I've gathered details for your below
[GUIDE] Grub Fix Intel FPT Error 280 or 368 - BIOS Lock Asus/Other Mod BIOS Flash

Rename your .efi file to >> Shell.efi
BIOS Lock variable to change >> 0xA83

So, at grub prompt you will type the following and then enter (case sensitive)
setup_var 0xA83 0x0

Once done, go back into windows (or DOS) and do the FPT dump again, and do the test write back again
FPTw.exe -bios -d biosregnew.bin
FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregnew.bin

Once write back is successful, then send me that new biosregnew.bin dump you made

Don't forget, if you do in DOS, use FPT.exe instead of FPTw.exe

Happy New Year!!

What tools do i need from up top in the guide ?
UEFITool 0.25.0 - Download in first spoiler
UEFITool NE Alpha A51

Is my efi bios reg and is the lock file fd?

I dont reaally understand what i am supposed to rename. What files? In the 6th step theres nothing i can download to rename. Am i missing something?

You don't need any of that, I already extracted the info that you need form the BIOS myself.
Read from step #6 onward is all, I always did all the stuff for you that needs the tools.

Download the attached package at the bottom of that guide, rename the .efi file as mentioned above, then boot to grub using that file and the guide from step #6 onward

Hey i have the usb setup. I just wanna make sure its right. http://www.mediafire.com/file/jht9qmqnbb...PICTURE.7z/file

Also how do i rename the bios lock variable? Does it automaticly do this?

Oh did i misunderstand as in doing the bios lock variable command, i am changing the variable?

Looks OK to me, except it doesn't look like a DOS bootable USB for you to use with FPT from DOS
I'm not sure you can run grub from DOS bootable one anyway, so you may need to make it DOS bootable after you do the grub stuff

Once you boot to grub, at the prompt you will type the following (case sensitive), this will change the BIOS lock variable to disabled
setup_var 0xA83 0x0

So i am all good and i can run this fine?

I assume so? Follow the guide, and you'll get there

Aight, it worked

I got the exact message which was from the guide. If you want the picture i have it

I forgot to unplug my usb before i hit ctrl+alt+del. Is this really bad?

I will do a dump now :)

No, no need for image, as long as you seen it change 0xA83 0x1 to 0xA83 0x0 then you are all set
Now, do the FPT stuff again (make new dump, try to write it back, then send me that dump once you confirm you can write it back)
Be careful, don't forget the -bios flag in FPT commands! No, you don't have to unplug USB, it's OK

I did the d command and f command and both succeeded! I will send you the file with an edit asap!

http://www.mediafire.com/file/lkjpkhzngx...EW_file.7z/file Here it is! :)

It only named it biosregn.bin instead of biosregnew.bin ... I don't know what caused it but it wouldn't matter would it?

Great you got it So, now what do you want done again? I tried to read back on page one, but our discussion is all very confusing
Ohh! I know I need another BIOS image from you, with C- State enabled, so I can see all the options under that when you have it enabled.

I am asking for every setting possible to be unlocked. I am friends with St1cky and he can help me further with settings.

He's busy with life so he can't help me with modding my bios atm :)

And ye ill enable it and show you a picture.

OK, still need the image I mentioned. I can't blindly make things visible, well i can, but it's not ideal way to do it.
I need to see what you see already, and since one of your main goals was more C-State options, I need you to enable that so I can see what all is shown to you below once it's enabled.
I also need to see complete image of Ai Tweaker (scroll up/down), all you sent me before was very top.

St1cky can unlock BIOS settings for you too, I know, but apparently he didn't want to, or was busy, or what happened,.... I mean why this thread if you say he can do for you?
Ohh, you edited in the answer to this above
