Request for hidden menus unlock for Sager NP9876/Clevo P870KM1-G

[Enigma83]

I have a Sager NP9876/Clevo P870KM1-G (Sager branded, bought from xoticpc.com in May 2017). @Prema hasn't released a modded BIOS for this model, presumably because someone screwed him over. So I'm posting here to request that someone unlock the hidden menus in my BIOS. I'm not asking for additional overclocking options, a modded VBIOS, etc. My main interest in this is that my laptop can only boot in UEFI *OR* legacy/CSM mode on internal drives, but I can't see options for both simultaneously, either in the BIOS or in the F7 boot menu. For external devices like flash drives both UEFI and legacy options appear at the same time (if I remember correctly when I last tried it). My laptop is capable of both UEFI and legacy boot. I like to play around with different OSes, booting schemes, and partitioning methods (GPT and MBR, hybrid MBR, etc), so this is of particular use to me if the hidden options in my BIOS can be made fully visible (not just the boot options, I mean everything that's hidden by default).

Sager hasn't made a BIOS for my model available for download, so I dumped the BIOS ROM image with the AMI firmware update utility available at https://ami.com/en/products/bios-uefi-to...utilities/ (APTIO V).

I will also need exact instructions on how to flash a modded BIOS and what tool I will need to use, in addition to links to recovery methods if something goes wrong. Presumably I need to use one of the utilities listed on the page above, but there are quite a few, and I don't know which one to use.

I am willing to donate to any experienced modder willing to do this expediently. The amount is negotiable, you can send me a private message to discuss this. If you can suggest any additional mods I might be interested in, then we can discuss that as well, and I will donate an additional amount for extra work above and beyond the hidden menus unlock I'm already requesting.

I have uploaded my BIOS dump file to an online storage account, link below:

If any aditional info is needed then let me know and I will repond quickly.

Thanks for your time!

Big shout to Feluchi for an amazing job on modding BIOSes, if you have a Sager NP9876 (Clevo P870KM1-G) he is the man you are looking for, highly recommended, and an amazing and polite person, PM and he will answer. For people looking for this service be advised though that it will void warranty (I know it's bios-mods forums but best to be safe) as messing with firmware is looked down upon by most companies you would buy your laptop from, and that after flashing a Clevo BIOS on a Sager branded machine is not really advisable to go back to the Sager one (but who would want such restrictions anyway) for it might brick your laptop. If you run into a problem like your laptop not being able to even turn on the screen, remember nowadays resetting the CMOS is just as easy as holding FN+D before turning the machine on, keep holding when pressing the power button and wait until it reboots and you are greeted with a happy message that CMOS settings have been reset. BTW the Style Note BIOS splash screen is one ugly dude, but be happy for if you are seeing it, you are one step closer to unleash all your laptop potential.

P.D.: If you are looking to go back to a Sager BIOS (for some strange reason) you can Google it and there is a thread in which (I think was Prema) found a way to do so.

Asking for "Chipset" tab, i need this for Unlock the option in my Bios

Hi everyone,

Is this thread still active?
I tried downloading the latest bios from this repo: https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P87xKMx/ but I'm having a hard time following the instructions.
The instructions say that I need to run meset.exe (reboot occurs) and then run flashme.bat (called flashm~1.bat in freedos).

At this point I get the error: flashme.bat cannot be run in dos mode.

What am I missing here?
And why doesn't CLEVO offer official bios downloads anymore? Aren't they obligated to do so!?

Hi,
I have Sager NP7856 laptop. I am having hard time because of no legacy boot option in BIOS. Because of this some of my USB drives don't boot.
Please let me know if you can help me patch the bios to enable legacy boot option.

thanks

I have a P775DM3. Does the BIOS unlock it's hidden features in the same way as the P870? I would surely appreciate to know how to do that.

Thanks in advance.
