Hello Nobody,
Sorry for the long wait. This BIOS mod required a lot of careful, repeated, meticulous edits for each individual setting. I negated SUPPRESS_IF and GRAYOUT_IF functions for the settings listed in the attached text file ("modNotes.txt"). These edits should be enough to make the settings show up, but we will know once you flash the mod.
You should see most of the settings in the text file under the Ai Tweaker Menu. I think CFG Lock and Overclocking Lock are under Advanced. If not, they are under a nameless menu that I will need to figure out how to make show up.
============================================
HOW TO FLASH THIS BIOS MOD:
1.) Format a USB Flashdrive as FAT32. This will erase all files on your flashdrive. Follow these instructions:
https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/...html#part2 BUT DO NOT TICK "QUICK FORMAT" in Step 3. We do not want to do a quick format.
2.)
https://github.com/chipsec/chipsec/raw/m.../Shell.efi Download this file. It is a UEFI shell. Create the directory /efi/boot on the flashdrive and then place the Shell.efi file there. Rename it to "bootx64.efi".
You should now have this file on the flashdrive:
/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
2.) In the files attached to this post, copy the contents of the EFI64 folder to the a folder called "efi" on the flashdrive (Do not copy the folder to the flashdrive. Only copy the things inside the folder onto the flashdrive).
You should have these 3 files on the flashdrive now:
/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
/efi/fpt.efi
/efi/fparts.txt
3.) Place the modified BIOS image in the /efi/ directory on the flashdrive.
You should now have the following 4 files on the flashdrive:
/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
/efi/fpt.efi
/efi/fparts.txt
/efi/G30AB_FPT_SetupMod.rom
4.) With the flashdrive inserted into a USB port, reboot your computer and enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Set the computer to boot from the USB flashdrive.
5.) Once you boot into the EFI Shell Environment, run the following commands:
fs0:
cd efi
fpt.efi -f G30AB_FPT_SetupMod.rom
The modified BIOS image will take some time to flash. Wait until it is entirely done, as interrupting the flashing process will brick the machine. If you get an error, take a picture of it and upload it here.
============================================
Informational: The recovery filename for the ASUS ROG G30AB is Z87MG30.CAP. This is what someone would name the recovery BIOS image when trying to debrick their machine without a hardware programmer. You can ignore this information for now.
Informational: The included FPT version is v10 r8. You can ignore this as well. It is for my and other BIOS modders' reference.
Best of luck!
