Yes, I just replied to your PM. Hopefully you still have your original FPT Dump!

And I do! And I can use both descr etc to modify a fully unlocked 1401. My only problem is, I am not as good as you with this, unlocking 100% setup and such.
@petterkkk - Sorry, I lost this thread until now, do you still need unlocked 1401? If yes, do as below, but make sure you have 1401 flashed in first via EZ Flash BTW, that is the version we unlocked here originally So once I have your dump it will be a quick swap of a few key files for full unlock
@Muren - Yes, I have and it would work for you, but that BIOS is user specific (ie has that users serial, UUID, windows key etc in there), if you flashed it you would loose your board specific info. So I don't want to reupload that. If you need mod BIOS, do as outlined below to unlock BIOS region for write access, then make a new BIOSreg dump after you unlock things and send to me. Before you do this, flash BIOS 1401 using EZ Flash. Do what I mentioned at post #18, then do below and if success send me your biosreg.bin file
If you have already modified the BIOS in ANY way, you will need to re-flash it back to factory defaults using factory method (NOT FPT)!!!
If you do not have Intel ME drivers installed, install them now from your system driver download page, then start over here after reboot. Check your BIOS' main page and see if ME FW version is shown. If not then > DOWNLOAD HWINFO64 HERE <
Once HWINFO is open, look at the large window on the left side, expand motherboard, and find the ME area. Inside that section is the ME Firmware version. Take note of the version. (ie. write it down or get a screenshot)
Once you have that, go to the thread linked below, and in the section "C.2" find and download the matching ME System Tools Package for your system. (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) > DOWNLOAD " ME System Tools " packages HERE <
Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and then inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder (NOT x64). Highlight that Win/Win32 folder, then hold shift and press right click. Choose "open command window here" (Not power shell! >> * See Registry file below *).
If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.
((If "open command window here" does not appear, look for the "Simple Registry Edit" below...))
Step #1 Now you should be at the command prompt. You are going to BACKUP the factory un-modified firmware, so type the following command: Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin "
>> Attach the saved "biosreg.bin ", placed into a compressed ZIP/RAR file, to your next post!!! <<
Step #2 Right after you do that, try to write back the BIOS Region dump and see if you get any error(s). Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin " ^^ This step is important! Don't forget! ^^
If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.
Here is a SIMPLE REGISTRY EDIT that adds "Open command window here as Administrator" to the right click menu, instead of Power Shell Double-click downloaded file to install. Reboot after install may be required > CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD CMD PROMPT REGISTRY ENTRY <
If the windows method above does NOT work for you... Then you may have to copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a Bootable USB disk and do the dump from DOS ( DOS command: " FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin " )

@Lost_N_BIOS I seem to be having issues when write back the BIOS Dump (Error 167), I checked the .txt from IRF Extractor on my BIOS and it seems "BIOS Lock" is 0xBBD, instead. Do I put this to 0x0 in Grub instead of the value 0xA83 you told riotatetacos to use?
@Muren - Yes, error is expected, this is why we do the grub stuff and then make a new bios region dump after it's unlocked.
Yes, sorry, for BIOS 1401 >> BIOS Lock variable is >> 0xBBD, so yes >> setup_var 0xBBD 0x00 @petterkkk << Make sure you use that too once on 1401 After you change that in grub, then redo FPT step #1-2 using new BIOS region dump name, and this time you will pass step #2 - then send me that new BIOS region dump If you want me to look at grub image, please upload it alone, in a max compressed zip, preferably not 3-5MB image (ie resize to 800-1000px wide before you zip)

@Muren - sorry, can't be quick edit, I thought riotatetacos mod was based on 1401, but just realized it was 0905 when I went to do the mod files swap I will have to redo all edits one by one on 1401, so you'll have to give me some time to do.
