Hi,
First of all, Sorry for the long post, I have experience in other areas of computing but I am completely new to BIOS modding (yes, I am a total noob in this) so am trying to learn. I see from this post that you guys know a lot about BIOS modding so if you can help me a bit with a few questions I have I would be really thankful.
I was reading this post
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-A...decompiled and wanted to reply but the thread is closed so I had to open a new one to ask a few questions.
I have BIOS insydeH20v1.15/WIN8.1
After reading this post I have a few questions regarding modifying my BIOS from my Aspire V3-772G
I found a few downloads in this post but I don’t really know what they are…
1, Is Aspire_V3-772G_VA70V115_ADV_ACER21_FPTw (
http://rghost.net/7Jxl2FkYb) the modded/unlocked version of the Acer Aspire V3-772G BIOS? If not, what is it exactly?
2, I see on the download pages two versions, what is the difference between Aspire_V3-772G_VA70V115_ADV_ACER21_FPT (
http://rghost.net/59640384) and Aspire_V3-772G_VA70V115_ADV_ACER21_FPTw (
http://rghost.net/7Jxl2FkYb) ??
3, If question 1 is YES, if I flash Aspire_V3-772G_VA70V115_ADV_ACER21_FPTw will I lose my Windows 8 license key, etc...?
4, If I backup my BIOS with the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0 and I insert some of the modules from the modded version (Aspire_V3-772G_VA70V115_ADV_ACER21_FPTw (if this is the modded version)) will that keep my Windows 8 License key?
4.1, is the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0 the correct one or should I use another backup tool?
4.2, How do I know if I have a capsulated BIOS?
5, if question 4 is YES, Which modules do I have to replace? Is it always the same ones as tomma did in the first page of this forum (
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-A...decompiled) or is it other ones?
6, if question 4 is YES, Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere that I can read to learn how to do this correctly? (What tools to use, etc…) because as of now I don´t know how to do any of this, I´m still learning :-)
7, is there a way to test these modded BIOS without actually flashing? Such as maybe VMware or other virtual environment?
8, If I brick my BIOS is there a way to recover it with a backup? I understand from this post that maybe yes but I don’t really understand how.
9, one last question, this one is important to me… Do you happen to know if this BIOS has mini-PCIE whitelisting? And if YES, can this BIOS mod remove the whitelisting or give me the option to do so?
Also, a lot of files from the links in this post are deleted. Are there any other files I haven’t mentioned that I need to do this? And if YES, where can I find them?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
