Above 4d decoding for GA-Z87P-D3

Hello everyone, can anyone enable “Decoding above 4G” in the bios GA-Z87P-D3?
According to Enabling hidden 4G decoding · xCuri0/ReBarUEFI Wiki · GitHub, I failed to find “VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName)”

BIOS - https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-z87p-d3_f8.zip

i think it would be hard to enable 4g decode since its not implemented in the bios. My Z68A GD65 G3 does not have above 4G option so yeah ig im stuck at it

I have in UEFITool finds
Unicode text “Above 4G Decoding” in Compressed section/97E409E6-4CC1-11D9-81F6-000000000000 at header-offset CC008h

could you try to find “Setup” using UEFITool? it’s usually start at 899 for the GUID. try to expand those and extract the PE32 module or the one underneath it (not version, usually there is a GUID under PE32, if its not available the extract PE32)

use Extract As Is option.

didn’t understand what exactly to extract?
and my files are not loading, I will not be able to download the extraction result.

This “Setup”:


extract Section_Freeform_subtype_GUID_97E409E6-4CC1-11D9-81F6-000000000000_Setup_Setup.sct

  • and then what?

Send it here

okay i just checked the file, it doesnt have Above 4G Decode option in the settings, so i guess no above 4g decode for you unless someone could implement it…


why is he found in UEFITool ?

someone with good knowledge of UEFI IFR/HII might be able to figure this out since currently available tools don’t find anything. I tried AMIBCP and IFRExtractor-RS too

I think @CodeRush developer of IFRExtractor-RS might know what’s going on here if he’s able to investigate this.

The string is there in the package, but not referenced by any form data, so there’s no easy way to determine the correct offset of that setting in the Setup variable (even if such setting still exists). Finding it will require a bit more than just IFR parsing, please remind me about that on next Friday or so, I’ll check it.
