You’re welcome! On User/Super, this mainly will only work on settings, unless they are suppressed in setup. For menus, usually AMITSE needs edited first, then User/Super may possibly be needed after that, but not always.
If you just tested User/Super on a setting, not a menu, and no change, then whatever setting you are trying it on must be suppressed as mentioned above.
Thanks for confirmation on the BIOS images above = no change from stock, I can use those then! No need to reflash or flash old etc, as long as you are sure nothing is changes in those images vs stock.
I do however want your stock BIOS FPT dump, from your first FPT dump, before you made any BIOS changes with AMIBCP etc. This will be my base starting point.
If you only have old FPT dump, then yes, please flash that back in using FPT. Then using stock method from Gigabyte, update to latest BIOS, then reboot and dump BIOS region with FPT and send me this >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
I already have stock BIOS from Gigabyte, and do not want any mod BIOS from you, so I’ve not downloaded anything above yet. Waiting on a clean FPT Dumped stock BIOS
Once I have that, I will send you two initial BIOS, so you can test and find out which method is required to remove the BIOS lock in BIOS so that can then be used as an unlocked base BIOS.
Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean or what you are doing with AFUWin? The correct one to use is the one included in the stock BIOS package from Gigabyte.
This should not give you any errors, and this should be how you always update/use the stock BIOS file from Gigabyte, that stock file from Gigabyte should never be used in any way with FPT
BIOS Lock, to change this permanently (or until stock BIOS is reflashed, or any BIOS that has it enabled), you need to find out which place your system is obtaining the setting it’s using, either setup PE32 module or AMITSE/SetupData (this is what AMIBCP Changes)
This would take two BIOS edits, separately and then tested one at a time, flash one in, then FPT test, if BIOS lock still enabled, then test next one same and it should be unlocked. Then make note to yourself which method system uses, toss the other BIOS out, and use that unlocked one as your base moving forward
On menus being suppress/hidden, this is not the same as I showed above with setup module suppression on individual settings. Menu control, depending on BIOS how this applies, is done in AMITSE PE32 module.
At the end of this guide in the spoiler, I gave a general (Simple) method for how this works on Aptio V BIOS, not all are the same though, some have more locks than showed in this guide, some have more enabled areas, etc. All depends on the BIOS, I’d have to look and let you know for sure on this BIOS.

If you are not familiar with hex editing, then unsuppressing individual settings and or unlocking menus, is probably not going to be too easy for you to figure out smoothly.
Best not to practice or try this unless you have a flash programmer (CH341A + SOIC8 test clip w/ cable) in your hand and a full backup made and checked by someone to be OK
@Coil Whine, you may need to use clear silicon on the offending coils as I mentioned. You can use a paper towel roll to your ear to narrow down which coils are the offenders.
If you tried same brand/model power supply that will usually = same result. You’d have to try another brand, size etc to see if it helps enough to matter. Some will remove it 100% usually, but I’ve only seen this in desktop where you have a much broader choice and better built brands of PSU’s
Yes, I can unlock the BIOS for you, no problem!
I made out my notes for your BIOS, in regards to the above AMITSE edit guide I linked you to, and your AMITSE has two “Blocked Menu” sections and one “All menus” section, there is no short lists or short ID only lists.
However, looking at my notes from the other BIOS you linked, I see I did some swapping there too, not just remove/unblock. I also gave that user my notes then too, so similar here below, nearly same exact edit for your BIOS but some menu ID’s are different.

“Notes” from other edit - Some individual settings, or submenus in newly revealed menus may need enabled via AMIBCP User/Super (Talking to myself, before some quick tests done by user)
This applied to “Boot” menu, confirmed and edited right after initial test.
Setup module unsuppress/un gray-out may be needed for some items as well.
Final comment in my notes >> Final - Swapped Main, Advanced, Chipset, enable both boot menus
Please note, all of the above should be true regarding menus, however I have not looked at your images yet.
Plus, post edit, you would need to send me all new images of all pages, or compare images yourself vs AMIBCP to see if any still hidden that need unsuppressed
I don’t think that other user ever got back to me about that, so unsure what all other settings/submenus are missing post the initial final edit I gave him. I assume some will need further edits, since the Boot menu did
