[Request] Acer M3-581TG Bios Unlock

[Tolsi]

Can you tell me step by step how to flash bios with your pathed rom file (InsydeCorp.-V1.13-menus-patched.rom), when i use winflashit507 tool it says
there isnt any rom in this directory, so where should i put rom file?

nop, i can't i have done this a long time ago. you need to put the bios file in winflashit507 folder.

I also try with flashit.exe (from original bios archive) and it says the version of this file is not compatibile with the version of windows you are running... (i use win7 64bit ultimate)
sorry for my bad language

it's for dos.

ps you can also use recovery mode, that's so easy. But you need to have backup of original bios, so this is dangerous!
You can read easy instruction in russian.. Or:
1) put the file MA50X64.fd (you can rename any .rom BIOS file) to the root of a USB drive with FAT32;
2) Turn off the laptop;
2.5) insert usb flash drive with bios to laptop
3) press Fn + Esc and turn on the laptop;
4) Do not let go of the buttons once 5 seconds, the usb flash indicator flashes, the screen will not light up, the process is on... It is better not to touch anything. After 3-5 minutes the laptop itself will reboot with the new bios.

bios file? I dont understand, you post rom file, i create winflashit507 folder, extract content in it, add your rom file and pop up (error, there isnt any rom file in this directory) when run inside flash
I obviously do something wrong, or winflashit dont working properly , (not latest ver.)
   
Thx

Insyde does BIOSes for many chips
BIOS 1.13 patched on hidden menus.

I again wrote for help to Jakob Heinemann. Jakob, help us!

I've registered on this forum just for one purpose: to say many thanks for this BIOS mod! At last I have VT-x enabled to run VMWare x64 guest OSes on my notebook!

The latest version is 1.13

Anyway, I don't understand why Acer offers version 2.x if we are unable to install it. It says it's for Windows 8 (no upgrade only). I have Windows 8 without upgrade and I still can't install it.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM MY WINDOWS IS 8.1 X64 OEI AND PC IS ACER M3-581T WHEN I WOULD LIKE TO FLASH THE BIOS FROM 1.13 TO 2.17 FOR I ENABLE THE UEFI AND BOOT SECURE I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE YOU MUST TO FLASH YOUR BIOS TO SAME TYPE 1

Original bios link:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...ep3=ASPIRE M3-581TG&OS=ALL&LC=it&BC=ACER&SC=EMEA_17

Download the BIOS_Acer_1.13_A_A.zip file and unpack by winrar then get a folder with Others two folder (Dos - Windows) then unpack by winrar in "Windows" forlder the MA50V113.exe file and You get the InsydeFlash folder original with bios 1.13 original, so rename the MA50V113.ROM as MA50V113.ROM.ORG and copy into the patched one and rename it as original MA50V113.ROM , then use InsydeFlash.exe to flash bios !, anyway I think that if You got the new 2.17 UEFI update You don't be able to downgrade, may be a possibility.
Download the service manual e look in, it's a UEFI bios from the origin :

I think all of the above changes are required when we flash a modded bios.
Anyway, thanks.

On the off site was written that it was not for the upgrade. BIOS 2.17 has the RAID mode? What are its advantages?

Hi friend,
I can do it for You, but I want to advice that I don't know what will happens as I don't tried by myself to upgrade to UEFI and I haven't this laptop and I read You have to reinstall your OS Win 8 or Win7 and if it's leaked Marker sllic 2.1 You have to introduce or WindSLIC into.

thank you, I do not plan the update to UEFI, but I want to hear feedback from those people who upgraded on the benefits of UEFI.
