Latest bios for DP55WB 0336 26 Jun 2012, and respective release notes, check notes on PDF to AA numbers on 0319 version.

@Lost_N_BIOS, not saying that REBYTE ME has it all, but usually when u do a search using their search box, it always comes 2 results, one always more complete than the other...about Google errr....
and No, sry i do not have the skills at least on ur level or tried to unlock any Intel bios

I did not check with 57, but 51 cannot expand the main DXE volume, only 21.5 does properly Nice, thanks! I just checked and 57 and will get there too!
The sections are NOT RAW, so not sure what you mean? I see it properly w/57 and or 21.5 >> DXE (Depex section), PE32 Section, MM/SMM (Depex section)


Sorry, I only spent about half hour trying to find the unlock, I will look more tonight when I have a bit more time, maybe I can figure it out (but it was not looking good )
Make IFR from the modules as I mentioned, then you can look to see if settings you want are there or not.

Here is the files extracted as I mentioned - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...702823772179192
Yes, if you do not find the setting you want, then they are not in this BIOS, or are not named what you searched for if using search instead of scrolling through.

Yes, all settings will be shown at the IFR, visible and hidden ones. Sounds like you may not have full proper IFR? But yes, I see what you mean, this is due to Boolean formatting used, and or not 100% compatible IFR generation (This is VERY old, VERY early UEFI)
And yes, sometimes it's possible that some settings are stored in other modules. You'd have to give me an example or two so I can look. Tell me exact name of setting in BIOS, and I will see if it's in some other than setup/platform module

You can change any setting via vars edit, if you can dump vars without issue with some version of H2OUVE
Make sure you are in correct VarStore if/when you make changes, not all things will be stored in "Setup or Platform"
Since this IFR does not show VarStoreID for each setting, it may be tough to do var dump changes.

I see possible menu edit at sub_72D0 or maybe in F110, but would not test this edit without flash programmer and backup made (ready for recovery)
It may not even be in correct area AT ALL, just a starting guess

What all BIOS sections can you see now, across the top?

* Edit @MeatWar - Thanks! I wonder why we did not see any of this in google?? Not sure what you mean about AA numbers on 0319?
That's better, single setup module on this one, that's more like it!

Do you know about menu unlock for this BIOS? * Edit - I see your edit on this, bummer
I hate Insyde, but can often get it sorted, but actual Intel Insyde is a bit different, so I'll have to keep stabbing at this one

Thanks for the tip about rebyteme!

@MeatWar

Thanks for the file! I tried flashing v.319, and did not work, no video after flash, did not try version 336 though...
@Lost_N_BIOS

Would this version be better to sort it out? I can try a flash to see if boots properly. Backup is already made, and programmer ready.

The only thing is, there are some option that I can see, change in BIOS, and find with uefitool text search on this setup module, that I can\'t find in the generated IFR file... Does this mean this IFR is not extracting properly?

I can see main, performance, security, power and boot ( I'll send pics later)

@Lost_N_BIOS

Right now i'm Trying to dump vars to see if i can find and change correct edit... but h2ouve versions 100.00.9.2 and 100.00.16 are giving me error... v 100.00.16 seems like its gonna work, but returns error: failed to get bios data. Failed to get variable information.

Is there maybe other method to change vars? Or maybe other h2ouve version to try it out

@fairestmeat - For 319 / video issue, did you clear CMOS and test both integrated and PCIE GFX? I would have skipped that anyway, and went straight to latest BIOS 336

"cpu voltage override" is not same as CPU Voltage that you are showing in that image - Sometimes stuff is left in BIOS strings that is not in BIOS, due to manufacturers being lazy and using a base BIOS as source for all BIOS usually
So not all BIOS will have all things you find in text strings (What you're looking at in the image, CPU Voltage - this setting not in this BIOS)

Maximum non-turbo - This is located at the same GUID I mentioned previously, PlatformDXE module, but yes, not in IFR
As I mentioned, this is very early UEFI, and so probably some stuff is not properly done, or current tools don't find things they way they were done back then etc.

Vars, if none of them dump it, then nothing you can do there. I already checked and no EZE versions work properly either
Plus, we cannot see varstore ID for any setting, so you can't edit anything in vars anyway, you wouldn't know which varstore any setting is stored inside.

core ratio limit - Null the suppression if or gray out if via FF before the option you want, then it will be visible/ungrayed in BIOS.
I am not sure which you can see, which you can't see, or which are gray etc, so below is general example of how to Null the suppression via FF and unsuppress and or un-gray out all of them

Before (Stock) >>

@Lost_N_BIOS
Great information, thanks alot!

Just to be sure, those changes to null have to be made only on that same platformdxe module, correct?

Also, should i worry about checksums? Or just change the variables with hexedit and flash it?

*edit*

Ok, I'm extracting pe32 setup image 'as is' with uefitool 21.5, altering bits as you mentioned above in hxd editor according to the generated IFR file... after changing bits to FF and only that, saving file as .bin, and replacing 'as is' using same uefitool version... the new bios saves successfully, but when opening new generated file, i can no longer expand main dxe volume... Just like other uefitool versions se tried... Am doing something wrong? Or this is normal? There is no error like "no uefi data" i Just cant expand volume...

Also, I'm modding a full image dumped with programmer, is that alright?
*edit*

I found a bios of a very similar mobo (dp55wg) that has alot more options on its setup, like you said, seems to be the exact same structure for both bioses, the setup module is exact same place and it is almost identical, the only difference is that some settings, like voltage override for example, have alot more options to it, as opposed to the +50 and +100mv i have on my current BIOS... would i be able to replace my setup module with this one? If i cant do entire module, maybe add values based on the dp55wg setup module values, like add the 1.300v option to my setup using the dp55wg setup module as reference?

Update

I realized today that I can successfully edit the .bio file by method already described above. Since is the .bio file, I tried to flash it with normal .exe. The flash went successfully! But the setting was still gray in BIOS... I only tried to ungray "core ratio limit 4" just to see if I can flash with .exe, maybe I have to edit every setting above to ungray things?

I did not tried to flash the .bin file with programmer since the compressed section do not expand anymore after mod, does this mean the bios is broken?

Update 2

I think I manege to get things going... I dump full image with phoenix tool, edited module to unsupress/ungray settings, nd put it back in, everything with phoenix tool. Now the modded image opens up fine in uefitool, compressed section can be normally expanded and my alterations are there ( checked with ifr extractor)!

Now I have two question, if I extract bios region from that file with uefitool, can I flash it with fpt if s3 state bug work??

Also, @Lost_N_BIOS would you be able to check the modded image pls? I just wanna be sure everything is kinda fine, or if there are any major error that would prevent boot... since is such a pain to take it apart to use programmer!
