UEFITool reports an AMI v2 file with protected ranges. I tried to use SmokelessRuntimeEFIPatcher without success because I can’t find SetupUtility module as explained here.
For testing purpose, because can’t find UI entry point (SetupUtilityApp), I tried to only startup the configuration at boot with the others DXE driver but the BIOS configuration UI never shows up.
Someone here could explain what is the problem with this system? I bought 32 of RAM 3600 that runs at 1066 MHz because on this damn PC I can’t use XMP.
With this configuration
Op Loaded
H2OFormBrowserDxe
Op LoadFromFV
SetupUtilityApp
Op Exec
this is the output:

Really appreciate any help that point me on the right direction, ask me if you need some other info, thanks to all
19hours ago… can you please pay a little more respect to the forum and their users?
The issue is no money…
Its impatience, the users time availability, the users time-zone, the version and kind of bios structure, too new platform, too new ME FW, OEM bios locks, platform security locks, not possible, etc etc…
This is a user forum not a TI tech support 24h with any obligations.
Thank you.
Specific issues should be posted on the related linked threads.
EDIT: Really dont see how the content of the message is seen as an “attack” or as offense… people tend to make a big noise as victims when confronted with the true reality and not a digital world and off course, there’s users more sensitive than others, perfectly understandable.
Enjoy the forum resources and users good will.
Dxe volume of this bios is boot guard protected. I don’t know any way to hack this protection. Assuming that a solution doesn’t exist at all, you can try to activate XMP without bios unlock.
How can I know where to indicate my problem if it is not clear to me why this BIOS is totally different than all those addressed on this forum?
This has never happened to me on any forum, I have not offended anyone unlike you. What I wrote is that after searching on the forum I find many useful thread for Acer, so it is why I asked again, maybe Lenovo BIOS is more complicated?
Sorry, I can’t. An unusual compression is used in the BIOS. This prevents the AMIBCP program from working correctly.
One part can be extracted just fine and the second one not. It resulted in incomplete IFR outuput. There is a table, but no text in it. IFR.zip (264.9 KB)
So I’m not able to obtain values of XMP setting. It needs some utility that could save EFI drivers already unpacked into memory. I’ll ask @AARCH64_EL3 about this.
I have now some questions, could you please help me again?
XMP profile 1 works and XMP profile 2 doesn’t, is it worth to try XMP profile 3?
Below there are Windows and CPU-Z info without and with XMP profile 1 enabled:
NO XMP
WITH XMP profile 1
As you can see with XMP enabled the DRAM Frequency is 1729 MHz (Windows double it, so 3467 MHz), is it normal that Mem. Controller Freq. indicated by CPU-Z is lower with XMP activated than without it?
What was your approach to find the right VarStore, VarOffset and Value? I mean which approaches and tools did you use? SaSetup is far away by xmp string
I’m a developer and I would like to learn the method in order to help someone here on the forum in the future
Do you think that with you approach is it possible to enable Advance menu directly in the BIOS?
Finally I want to thank you again, if you have a forum, webpage, project where I can contribute with a donation I will do
I think it’s not normal. If it remained 1064, you’d get beautiful 3600 MHz of ram speed.
Maybe ram sticks are not good enough to work at 3600. Try profile 2 with only one stick installed.
Blockquote 1. 4. Do you think that with you approach is it possible to enable Advance menu directly in the BIOS?
Maybe, if GRUB/RU would let you write it.
The original adv has been used in the current adv, but has been suppressed. We only need to use GRUB/RU to change its conditions to make it appear in the BIOS. Just like some Asus computers.
They are 2 Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 modules, I thought it is a good RAM. With XMP profile 2 it didn’t work, was the problem the amount of modules? I’ll try.
I imagine that if with profile 2 there was a problem the profile 3 is “forbidden”, isn’t it?
Yes (more or less) but I didn’t find any info on why XMP is related to SaSetup variable. Could you please add some info?
Will it be possible with SREP and the help of @AARCH64_EL3?
