[READ FIRST] Access Advanced settings through EFI shell

[slayerus]

Приветствую, у меня ноутбук HP envy m6, я по хитрому забекапил через platform.ini биос, но вот как разблокировать - не разобрался, боязно если честно. Не могли бы вы мне помочь с активацией дополнительных настроек и настроек видеокарты (переключение видеокарты, дискретная сдохла)?
И и с помощью чего его прошить? название прокрамки.
P.S. Отпарсил прошивку, зашарил как через флешку и консоль с setup_var менять настройки, но не могу найти нужных для расширенного меню.
Как изменять Suppress If? там стоит везде стоит Suppress If: {0A 82} True {46 02} желательно через команду setup_var
Hello, i have notebook HP envy m6, i backup bios throw platform.ini, maby you are help me with activation section - Advanced settings and Integrated\descret switch graphical section(advanced videocard is dead)
And, how flash bios in notebook? program name, please.

I attached my txt file. maybe it can be helpful. is it somehow possible to flash a modded version of that RSA-Signed bios without bricking my notebook without an external chip? thank you in advance.

THIS TOPIC mostly for newest notebooks (2012-2013 years) ONLY with RSA signed BIOSes, when Phoenix tool can't open your rom file.

3 weeks ago, when I came to this forums I was a newbie for BIOS modding or accessing it's hidden options.

But I searched a lot of information over internet and found some smart hints.

Having a huge programming skills in disassembling and ASN.1 data reading/parsing I realized a good way to change bios settings without modding.

I have HP Pavillion dv7 7171er with Insyde H2O RSA signed bios.

I found the way how to get it decrypted but all attempts to flash modded bios with patched DLL was unsuccessful. Each time I had to recover my Laptop with Win+B restoring.

On 15th time when by laptop was bricked again I decided to disassemble Setup Menu and found where needed options for me are hidden and how to access them for changes.

So here is small part of decompiled Setup Menu.

As you can see, it is realy represent's what we see in reality.

So now I need 2-3 BIOSes to proof my concept.

If you need to enable AHCI for example of change something else. please post you BIOS links here.

I will test and after 100% success I will write GUIDE and provide source code.

IMPORTANT: This is related only newest BIOSes which are not encrypted.
If it is RSA signed, you will need additional steps. I will inform you in this case.

Moderators, please pin this topic for some time.
You can always unpin in the feature.

Is there a way to activate the fan at full speed on Thermal Configuration option
using this efi shell option

HP Pavilion 17-e040us
F.28 Rev.A    3.5
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp79501-80000/sp79531.exe
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel...el/5447381

So i can access the thermal configuration


Thanks i will really appreciate it

[locomacg6]

got it, but i need a bit more of your help first, the .log file, what do i do with it, cant seem to find a Tut...

1. Take USB stick and format to FAT32
2. Create directory structure EFI\Boot
3. Download BOOTX64.EFI
4. Put downloaded file to Boot directory.
5. Restart and enter BIOS setup.
6. Make sure you have following values:
Legacy Support: Disable
Secure Boot: Disable
7. Reboot and press F9 to boot from USB stick
8. HOW TO CHANGE:
For example you want to change

Code:

Select option: 'Throttle On Temperature'        [ VarStore: '0x1aa', QuestionId: '0x78',   Help: 'Set the CPU temperature point of Throttle On']

give command setup_var 0x1aa

look at log file. Default value for your bios is

Code:

 Option: '85 '                               [ Value: '85'   Default: 'true'     Type: 'int8'  ]

so you should get 85 as value. (HEX 0x55)

Try to change for example to 40 degree.

give command setup_var 0x1aa 0x28

28 is HEX for 40 DEC

9. Now Reboot
10. Start some CPU stress test (AIDA64 for example) and check performance
You can also try to play with Fan speed temperature.

Please help me, i would like to set the fan at full speed
i tried what you comment but setup_var 0x1aa 0x28 gave me an error and could not be set
my specs are
