Hello guys, I've tried to unlock it myself but it wont unlock.

Can someone unlock/or help me learn how to unlock spread spectrum?

Also potentially unlocking all the CBS menus.

This is a quote from my original post-

"Hello everyone, I'm seeking some assistance with unlocking some bios settings.

I am using AMIBCP 5.02.0031 to open up a bios dump I did for version 5603. I dumped the bios using flashrom.

When I change Spread Spectrum to "Supervisor" or "User" and flash the bios using Flashrom, it doesnt unlock any of the menus. I even attempted to set "Stop Fan" to Supervisor/User and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Image for reference."

@xlegacygt - Please upload images for me of ALL CBS and CBS/Submenus you can see now, so I can see ALL settings in CBS you can see.
I assume this is your board, correct? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-X470-F-GAMING/

Please reflash stock BIOS using EZ Flash, then dump BIOS again with flashrom for me, that way I am working on clean unedited BIOS, thanks
And yes, I will give you examples of how to unlock these items Once we confirm which method works (ie unsuppress only, or unsuppress + Access Level - User/Super on top of being unsuppressed)

Hey! Thank you so much for the help.

I am not sure how to extract CBS images so for now I will skip that and focus on the Spread Spectrum, are you able to explain the extraction of CBS?

Here is the bios, its not modified and the newest version. I do have some things configured like my fan curves and ram overclock but I dont think the back up of the bios includes those settings?

Yes that is my motherboard you linked.

@xlegacygt - CBS images, take with a camera while you look at them in the BIOS, if you can't screenshot to USB via F12 hotkey

I am on limited internet, so I do not want to download the above package.

^^ In this, you can go ahead and make any changes you want INSIDE the BIOS GUI itself before you save and then dump with flashrom, these will remain as you set them (If that is how you meant you are changing them), but do not edit the BIOS editing tools

Ohhh, I completely misunderstood the CBS part lol.

The bios I zipped up for you is a 100% clean unedited file flashed with EZ Flash and dumped with flashrom, I only changed options within the bios GUI.

@Lost_N_BIOS here is the screenshots of the CBS menu. No sub menus currently.

Thanks, OK, I will grab that BIOS. And yes, any changes you made within the BIOS will remain
Please max compress/zip the images above, then upload to free file host, thanks!

@Lost_N_BIOS let me know what file hosting website is best for you. (I googled the ones below.)

EDIT: Changed to google drive.

CBS images zipped up- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OAlTkHh...iew?usp=sharing
Same Bios as above- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xVjMfWU...iew?usp=sharing

EDIT: Added alternative links.

CBS images zipped up- https://www18.zippyshare.com/v/963dUIS8/file.html
Same Bios as above- https://www18.zippyshare.com/v/fpNmvZ2z/file.html

Please put all in single zip, the above are fail for me (virus often at zippy, so I avoid) and your google links require sign in so I can't download those either
http://tinyupload.com/ << Best for me, when working to upload too, I think it may be OK right now

@Lost_N_BIOS here you go, sorry about that!

Thanks, and it's OK Now, please wait, I will make you three BIOS to test at first a bout a single setting (Spread Spectrum) and one in CBS, then you test and tell me which way works, then I can do rest in CBS, or show you method etc.

Exciting!

You did realize this BIOS has two images in it correct? I mean, top and bottom are two different BIOS images, one top for certain CPU's and bottom for other CPU's, so depending on your CPU which area you edit when doing manual edits (unsure if current leaked AMIBCP can see/edit both)
I do all edits manually though, so this does not matter to me about AMIBCP I will show you the way, to do it manually, if Access Level edit is required for these AND AMIBCP fails to do it properly.
To check about that, I will send you follow-up test if we find Access Level is required, editing with AMIBCP, so we can see if it does it correctly or not, if not then I will show you how to make that edit manually too.

I definitely did not know that, interesting! I used AMIBCP 5.02.0031 to change the items to supervisor but they did not show up in the bios.

I have the 3800X.

@xlegacygt - Show me image of your BIOS at root level of Ai Tweaker, top to bottom, make two images if you have to scroll
Also, look on Main page, can you see "Access Level" and if yes, it shows Administer, correct?
* Edit - Never mind the image, don't need it and it wont help!

I assumed you'd notice that, but I guess you would only see if searching and using UEFITool.
I don't know which applies to your CPU, that would take some individual tests of editing one area and not the other, I'll just edit both so it's OK

@Lost_N_BIOS here are the images. It does show Administrator in "main."

Edit: I wouldnt have noticed because I'm still learning, lol. Its a lot to take in.

@Lost_N_BIOS is this why I see 2 options inside of "setup_extr" for "SB Clock Spread Spectrum?"

"One Of: SB Clock Spread Spectrum, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x48, VarStore: 0x31, QuestionId: 0x151, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0xFF, Step: 0x0 {05 91 95 01 96 01 51 01 31 00 48 00 10 10 00 FF 00}"

"One Of: SB Clock Spread Spectrum, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0xD4, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0xB8, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0xFF, Step: 0x0 {05 91 95 01 96 01 B8 00 01 00 D4 00 10 10 00 FF 00}"

Edit: It also provided me 2 body.bin files, body.bin and body_1.bin when using UBU to extract IFR.
