Hello great people, i want to dump my Bios to unlock the advanced tab or enable AHCI as my SATA controller is RAID Mode 
and i want to hackintosh macOS seqouia but apple’s AHCIport.kext became very strict in Ventura so i wanted to enable AHCI but since my BIOS is pretty locked up i thought i should dump it and find the varibles for either AHCI or Advanced Tab. i booted into a linux mint bootable and installed flashrom (sudo apt install flashrom). and i tried to dump it but it didnt work ill copy the text it spat out, but here’s some info: My Bios is a insydeH20 BIOS (Version F.13 REV 3.7) Pavilion DV6 laptop. (ivy bridge) here’s the error it spats out:flashrom unknown on Linux 6.8.0-51-generic (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
No DMI table found.
Found chipset “Intel HM77”.
Enabling flash write… SPI Configuration is locked down.
FREG0: Flash Descriptor region (0x00000000-0x00000fff) is read-only.
FREG1: BIOS region (0x00380000-0x007fffff) is read-write.
FREG2: Management Engine region (0x00001000-0x0037ffff) is locked.
Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely
due to an active ME. Please see for details.
PR0: Warning: 0x00770000-0x007fffff is read-only.
At least some flash regions are read protected. You have to use a flash
layout and include only accessible regions. For write operations, you’ll
additionally need the --noverify-all switch. See manpage for more details.
OK.
Found Winbond flash chip “W25Q64JV-.Q” (8192 kB, SPI) mapped at physical address 0x00000000ff800000.
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: WP
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to if any of the above operations
work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log
file for all operations you tested (see the man page for details), and mention
which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line.
Thanks for your help!
Reading flash… Transaction error!
Read operation failed!
FAILED.
IT would be great if someone helps me dump the bios and if possible from a linux bootable! BIG Thank you to someone who helps it would mean the world to me!
