[HELP] How to (re-)flash the correct BIOS for my ASUS GL553VD?

Thank you so much for your advice @jen11
I just want my DMI information about uuid, serial, asset tag, and lan mac doesn’t looose, JUSt it. But i dont know how to replace this information to a new stock bios and different frrom gl553ve dumped bios to gl553vd.

And i’m glad very helpfully after you reply again, i just curious how should i do and for about 3 days it’s still no progress and afraid to install my bios with different type until i wait a response from you.

In my fpt showing GbE does not exist after FPTw.exe -bios f- biosreg.bin to check and verify the dumped bios. and the MAC id installed is 00-02-07-00-00-00 as you can see in my photo’s of bios, but i’m dont sure if the mac id is the correct one or just wrong inserted.

That’s all of my sticker’s on that board.

@jen11 you can check for post #18 UPDATE 3: it showing my var offset is 0x8AA and the default bios is 0x0 is mean = disable as you can see in my pic.
And i’m boot from efi shell and typing the command amisetupwriter 0x8AA 0x0 and the updated setup is 0x0 same as the pic…
The step from [Tool Guide] AMI Setup - IFR Extractor AMISetupWriter
Is done Except step 5 because i’m pending it to flash a different type of bios using fpt until you replied my post and give me best solution.

@jen11 is your attached files has include my information about uuid, serial, lan mac etc ?
If yeah, i want to flash your attached bios now using fpt from folder CSME system tools v11 (for my ME 11.6).

Before i flash your attached bios file i’m checking GL553VD find string in Hex editor neo and he showing the type is correct like this pic. But cant find serial id.

And when i checking the dumped bios i send link to you he has showing my serial id 3 times as you can see in this pic.

And this is the attached file containing what other than GL553VD type info?

And this is the UUID and SERIAL id using command showing like this.

Im sorry my bad ingles again, hope you can understand it.

I keep you updated.

I have succesfully installing that attached file’s, BUT, my bios is running in dual bios as you can see in this pic.

The left device is the new installed bios, and the right is my gl553ve bios.

And about the information of new flashed bios just the serial and uuid changed (maybe inserted random num)

In my opinion is this board has been flashed to wrong bios+not correct information except serial number.
The board information is coreected or just random serial? (I bought this laptop with problem of bios, other that is normally)

Maybe someone in this forum can helped me to give me dumped bios of gl553vd?

It’s strange that my laptop is running with dual bios and how to be installed only one bios?

Or maybe using DOS or ch341a programmer will solve my problems ? :thinking:

@jen11 please check this another dump the EC is same or not.

Keep me the update.

@setya87 I am busy this week and will not be able to look at the new dump right now, however I may have missed the serial number, try this new edited bios instead.


p.s. you don’t have to worry about the serial number, it used to trace you. Some people, me included, remove serial numbers and change MAC addresses, and Intel stop serial number their CPUs for the risk of being traced.

@jen11 thanks for edited bios!
My serial has write back and UUID as you can see.

When im downgrade or update from asus website for gl553vd bios using WinFlash is safe or not?

I have dual bios in device manager, and how to remove safety and just running 1 bios in device manager?

And i also have problem blanking screens after installing intel iGPU.
Maybe my GOP bios version is not been updated yet and causing blank screen.
Can you give me guide how to update my GOP to latest version of Kabylake processor?

Thanks again

@jen11 After installing graphics he has blanking screen same like this link https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/displa…ibility.421417/

The photo’s is connected using hdmi port and does not show the screen.
My opinion is the intel GOP driver is not up to date.

Don’t do anything to NVIDIA vbios, first NVIDIA has nothing to do with it, second you will brick you NVIDIA card.

HDMI in laptop won’t display until the driver is loaded not like in PC , and your HDMI is connected and controlled by Intel VGA and not by NVIDIA.

I modded your bios and updated few modules, Intel video Gob included, and the Microcode, this may not fix your issue, but it worth a try.

BTW you don\t have to unlock your bios if you are using external flasher, I though you gonna use Intel flashing tool.

@jen11 thank you so much for making bios modded to me.
Unfortunately, after flashed the modded bios file my intel hd graphics 630 done installed skipped black screen via csm enabled. But, after installing i have notify "windows has stopped the device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) like this photo:

ERROR 43.PNG



I have updated the GOP VBT from 209 to 211 and OROM VBIOS from 1049 to 1059 using your IBMP settings just the same error code.

When boot to uefi bios csm enabled, using vbios i can pressing FN+F5, F6 for adjust the backlight screen. The backlight screen cannot be adjusted if the windows is loaded.

If you know how to setting the backlight brightness on microsoft basic display adapter let me know.
Because this laptop always refused if im installing intel hd graphics.
For now, im grateful when my nvidia gpu is working fine.

About the backlight screen setting only can adjusted on uefi bios csm enable only and after boot to windows the screen has lower brightness only temporary (shutdown, restart the screen backlight is back at max settings).

today I have some free time, I will check the bios file for you later, sorry I was busy for a while.

The back light will not work if you flashed the wrong EFI/OROM vbios, Have you transferred the settings?
