I prepared EFI Shell usb flash, but i don't have the required command to unlock advanced tab. After unpack the BIOS, i have a this files:

BiosImageProcx64.dll
Ding.wav
FlsHook
FlsHookDll.dll
FWUpdLcl
H2OFFT-Wx64
iscflashx64.dll
iscflashx64.sys
platform.ini

Are you all people blind?
This is not a thread to "unlock" bios.
You basically work around its UI, but the thing itself remains the same.

A modern tl;dr could be:

1. Get your bios image (dump/download/extract from wherever you want)
   
2. Open it with Phoenix Mod Tool (if image is not signed UEFITool should work too)
   
3. Find SetupUtility module in Structures
   
4. Extract it decompressed
   
5. Open the thing in Universal IFR Extractor
   
6. Extract it disassembled
   
7. Open the resulting text file
   
8. Look for whatever variable number you want to tinker with
   
9. Boot in UEFI Shell
   
10. Use setup_var command as explained in post #2
    

If one doesn't feel brave enough, trying to edit normally available settings could be a good start.

Hello.

I need to see main active options only. Can i handy change configuration booting from SATA\RAID to AHCI. Because my laptop can`t see SSD in main deck (main port 0). If i connecting SSD to the port 2, the system booting from hdd caddy without any problems, after cloning of course. In this case i understanding by myself that laptop see the SSD and operation with him, but i can`t make "fresh" install. Port 1 MSATA working fine we don`t touching them now.

P.S.: I killing and blow HP engineer's only just because they do automatic settings controllers.

Hello! I have HP Pavillion dv6 7054er with Insyde bios.

How can I disable the "white list" of devices to be installed in the slot mini pci-e(wifi) adapter (riser PCI-e x16 - mini-PCI-e) video card (nvidia GTX 750Ti)?

"Как я могу отключить белый список устройств, чтобы установить в слот вай-фая переходник (райзер) для подключения внешней видеокарты? Заранее спасибо!"

Hello,

It will be great if you could unlocked AHCI in my DV5-1205EW HP laptop.

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.

Code:

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.
