Hey everyone,
I have been interested in unlocking the advanced tab in my Insyde BIOS to unlock XTUInterface and Ram overclocking. I managed to extract my BIOS files, found the section that had control over this, extracted it and sent it into IFR extractor and got a readable text out of it. The problem is im not sure how to continue from this point on, I dont think i can completely understand the IFR file and thus i cant figure out which offset im exactly supposed to modify. Kind of a weird spot to get stuck in i assume?
I am really new to all of this bios editing stuff so excuse me if I am doing something thats obviously wrong. Thanks for your understanding
Here are my bios files
Bios.zip (6.1 MB)

Thanks, it works!
I’ve turned on overclocking feature and XTUInterface however it did not change anything at all. Do you think i need to use some older microcode to get it working?
I’ve also noticed the +200 memory clock I did also did not go through, so I am not sure whats really going on.
Same.
Perhaps, bios devs fixed this workaround and you have to open Advanced tab the intended way, which is unknown.
One more question,
could I ask how you learned to edit BIOS files like this to unlock hidden features? Did someone teach you or what was your main source of information to get started?
Many community posts contributed to this, as well as utilities for rebuilding binary files. In the beggining, I’ve had a lot of bookmarks with different info I found while looking how to unlock my own device’ firmware.
I used to put the knowledge together everytime to modify a new bios file, but now I don’t need the bookmarks anymore.
When I succeeded with my device, I ended up using the knowledge to help people when they ping me.
I don’t think mcode has connection to this.
Last thing you could try is to patch SetupUtilityApp using srep. I noticed it has very obvious boolean values after the guids, which belong to bios tabs. You could try setting 0 to 1 after the Adv tab guid, launch the app and see what happens.
