@BDMaster:
I tryed againand could save the file.
What would you say, is it save to flash?
I madified the modded master, I received from you last time.

Yes , but after modifying it you have to flash again , so now use the Fptw64.exe to flash the new one and find if you are seeing the Tabs hidden ...

Here is the AMIBCP 5 APTIO + my patched versions :

https://www.mediafire.com/file/1k4911guc..._APTIO.rar/file

I wrote save the modifies by AMIBCP and then flash to eeprom the mod file to see the unlocked settings into Bios Menu Tabs ...
AMIBCP alerts are normal as all original UEFI bios are signed and we cannot reflash by original tool.
So we use Fpt and unlocked variables.
Please upload your Bios Menu Tabs so that i can see too , i cannot get your visual and haven't any unlocked bios image of this pc !

Let me know if you can see the variable you are asking for and i will try to unhide it.
Regards

P.S. you didn't make the AMIBCP i made into photos, you made only on first folder ?

ok, it worked :) !

Hi @BDMaster,

so setting the settings to user did the trick! THANKS!
One last question. Could you find a setting regarding resize bar / re-bar / resizable Bar?
I cannot find that option. Do I miss something?

Hi friend,
I can tell you some news about the strìngs into bios , they are wrote in two formats :

1. Unicode Format so opening the files by HxD can search any text and find if it exists (text = t.e.x.t. = 7400650078007400 )
As you can see any letter (ascii code) is followed by a null (0x00)

2. UTF-8 Format , any text has only the letters (ascii code) , if you search by HxD you'll find if it exists (text = text = 74657874 )
The only place where are stored the variable's names is the Setup Module 899407D7-99FE-43D8-9A21-79EC328CAC21 , where is the EFI IFR txt.

So i were looking for that patterns , but i can find something as "bar" only into vBios Module and i don't think you are looking for that ...

Let me know
Regards

P.S. there are three modules which are involved not at same time , about the bios AMI mod ...

1. AMITSE PE32 = your main menu lock/unlocks (B1DA0ADF-4F77-4070-A88E-BFFE1C60529A)

2. AMITSE/SetupData/SetupData = your AMIBCP Access Level changes (FE612B72-203C-47B1-8560-A66D946EB371)

3. Setup PE32 = your AMIBCP textual menu name changes (899407D7-99FE-43D8-9A21-79EC328CAC21)

Lost_N_BIOS has all merits and gratitude to have explained it , GREAT Lost_N_BIOS !!!

OK, thanks again. Just wanna make sure my seach was not wrong. I came to the same result like you.

so my modding project is finished and my laptop still works ;)
Thanks :)

I also have a Gigabyte Aero 17 laptop. Except mine is not the HDR OLED version. My last bios version is FB03 & EC F001 back in Jan of 2021. Would it be the exact same method to unlock the bios? Mine is also locked and i am having fan issues i would love some help unlocking this bios if anyone would kindly help me? Im not a complete n00b but have never modded a bios before so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi friend, use this tool run it as Admin and upload the result file , the i will explain all to do :

https://www.mediafire.com/file/flr80ru40...ols20i2.7z/file

Let me know
Regards

Thank you. I have dumped the files through other methods but this is a safe file i assume? Just wondering why it creates a passworded archive for a RW.dmp file?

Yes, you can upload the biosreg.bin and write the logs only , it needs to check the Eeprom protections , but this tool not give any pwd to nothing ;)
Regards

Thank you so much. Here are my files :) *BIOS DUMP*

This result say you have not unlocked the Eeprom Write variables :

Error 167: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access.
Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable
Protected Range Registers.

FPT Operation Failed.

Unpack it by winrar and see the log ... so you have to use RU shell and write 0x00 into these two offsets :

BIOS Lock VarOffset - 0x17
FPRR VarOffset - 0x6DD

Flash Protection Range Registers (FPRR) 0x6DD from 0x01 >> 0x00
BIOS Lock 0x17 from 0x01 >> 0x00

Look the GUID 4570B7F1-ADE8-4943-8DC3-406472842384 = PchSetup

Use RU shell , follow the tutorials to make this job (it's for different PC , but same procedure) :

[Request] Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED BIOS unlocked (27)

Your PC system Data :

Manufacturer - GIGABYTE
Model - AERO 17
BIOS release - FB03 12/18/2020
BIOS platform - AMI Aptio 5

After unlocked the bios (eeprom variables) , use again the Tool as before to make a result file and upload it again to prepare the bios mod !

Let me know
Regards

I am actually having trouble finding these in the ru shell. Any tips?

@cjacobs
hi friend, you are into the wrong GUID !!!
You are into Setup , look at picture , but you have to find the PchSetup [4570B7F1-ADE8-4943-8DC3-406472842384] ...

[Request] Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED BIOS unlocked (10)

[Request] Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED BIOS unlocked (26)

So change the GUID and look into the Name: header to be shure to be into the PchSetup, then you can change the values !
Let me know
Regards
