[GUIDE] [UPDATE] Usage of AMI’s AptioV UEFI Editor + FPT Flash Method

That’s odd… even signed into GitHub I don’t see anything if I follow that link, leads to a 404.

There seem to be no tags on the main branch either, was it there before? ← It was, in an old revision, it was deleted after being tagged old, that’s why it’s not available anymore.

I took the liberty of generating an executable for Windows because it used to be based on a Python script. Took away the update checker since it’s clear there’s not going to be any, otherwise it is the same as it was (so it keeps expecting a file named a.txt, it could be changed if needed though).

The following package has both, the Python script and an executable so no dependency is needed: RAR archive @ MEGA, no password.

Disabling only “BIOS Guard” did the trick for some Asus Rog Scar notebook.

hmm… i have a problem error 167… all of method i did.

how to do ?

@keygene
How about a forum search with the term “error 167”…

EDIT: You did it all…what a dedication, you give up too soon, then good luck.

I did it all of them. So, i started to give up.

EDIT: THANKS!

When a BIOS lock offset is not returned, and a FPRR is not found within setup_extr.txt, does this indicate that the BIOS is not locked and that flash is not protected?

These seems to imply that any bits can be written for any reason.

Thoughts anyone?

is you using AMI Aptio V Bios ?
if that not found, first try searching with “lock” keyword

or try skip that step and jump with this section
goto FPTW or fpt64.exe 64bit
TRY dump bios
fpt -bios -d biosmy.bin
try flashing that dumped bios
fpt -bios -f biosmy.bin

Did you managed to do it without programmer , Im in same situtation as you

Hi guys. I have an Asus FX505DU notebook, i want to unlock all bios menus/settings. I do the guide all steps. I have an spi programmer ch341a+ soic8 clip. I make a bios dump from the chip. Opened in uefitool extracted necessary files. Uploaded to online bios editor. Edited what i want. Replaced the modified bin file in uefitool 28 compared to same adress in uefitool 68. Saved the rom and flashed back to the chip. Notebook starts going to bios, and the hidden menus didn’t appear (like chipset and what i want to show). So what do i wrong? Need some extra modification or what’s happening why not work? This is an amd model notebook so don’t need intel “aft blocking” step and i working with spi programmer. Can you help me guys?
