I need to mod this bios: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/X55VD/X55VDAS409.zip I want unlock feature for overclock, I had made this unlock with amibxp 4.5 version but when I try to flash, I receive date error that say can flash because it is not more recent than the one installed I need to know if is possible to have this version microcode 1f? See picture
@pipe80 - Please link me to the stock BIOS download page. And, please tell me your exact full model, is it X55V or X55VD? I assume X55VD as linked here, since I do not find X55V page, correct?
We can put any microcode you want, what is your CPU?
Please do the following, upload for me file from Step #1, and tell me what error you get at Step #2, then wait
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)!!! Additionally, please remove all BIOS passwords, disable secure boot, and disable TPM or Encryption if you have enabled. Do this before moving on to below
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 " )
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! If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply
the processor as underlined in the image is an i7 3840qm, I'm not sure if you have an ME firmware, the link I entered takes you to the bios page of the laptop. tomorrow I will try the procedure and maybe I will try to flash the BIOS that I have modded, in case if you can insert me or lincarmi the microcode version 1f I would be grateful. thank you so much for the support

The link you gave is the BIOS download direct link, not the BIOS/driver download page (like I linked above) ME FW check like this, after you install ME drivers from Asus website in driver download area - Choose Win8 x64, you will find ME drivers (Intel Management Engine) in "Others" section
DO NOT flash BIOS You modified in any way with FPT info I gave above!!! You cannot flash stock BIOS like this, you will loose your serial, UUID, possibly windows key and LAN MAC ID as well. And you can brick the board too if you don't know what you're doing. Be VERY careful with FPT, only do as I mentioned, when I mention, with the files I mention, otherwise you are asking for issues or worse
ME FW you can update via ME FW Update tool if you want that updated.
lincarmi << Sorry, I don't know what this is?
Yes, I can do the microcode edit for you when I do the menu unlock stuff, once we get there Slow down, wait for help, follow the process, we'll get it done You're welcome!!

@pipes80 - Great, so step #2, no errors? If yes, good, then you do not need to do anything more to flash in mod BIOS
You need unlocked BIOS menu, and 306A9 microcode 1F, correct? You do not want latest microcode for 306A9, version 21 from 2019? If yes, show me what all you can see now in root of Advanced, just show me root of advanced from top to bottom, I do not need to see inside any submenus If needed, you can make stuff visible in there later if still missing, via AMIBCP, or we can do follow up edit if needed, in case something is suppressed that yiou need, and AMIBCP does not help to make visible.
Also, show me image of Boot page. I assume you cannot see chipset, correct?

@pipes80 - Yes, I can update ME FW too Please show me, in a zip, the BIOS images I asked for I don't need to see AMIBCP image, I have that, it's not what I want to see, I need to see your actual BIOS, so I can see what you see when you are in BIOS - So I know what is hidden from you, so I know what to make visible
