[Request] HP Victus 15 (8A3E) BIOS to be checked for any issues

Hi, as the title states, I need my laptop’s BIOS image to be looked at, there’s this setting for switching between Modern Standby and the old S3 Suspend, but I need to know if the BIOS is missing any drivers that could cause it to crash when booting up with S3 Enabled instead of Modern Standby.

BIOS is AMI based.

The laptop in question is an HP Victus 15-fb0102la, the zip file above contains the current BIOS.

As for how I’m able to access that setting, well there’s this tool called UMAF, but I won’t be using it as intended, UMAF uses the Smokeless EFI Runtime Patcher to basically run SuppressIFPatcher.efi, which pretty much patches all of the UEFI IFRs so that they’re not suppressed, but this is only done at runtime and doesn’t have any permanent effects, then it loads Loader.efi to prepare UiApp.efi.

Now, here’s the thing, UMAF isn’t perfect and so there will be cases where it will do this:


And when it does that, it will mess up some BIOS settings and if saved, may result in a bricked BIOS.

But what happens if I were to load UiApp.efi directly from the boot menu instead of letting SREP and Loader.efi do it? well that’s how I got this photo:


There is no “Front Page” section in the BIOS setup utility, this is from UiApp.efi and it lets me access settings that aren’t displayed but aren’t suppressed either.

Forgot to mention this earlier but this is related to the post I made for enabling S3 Suspend on my laptop: Enabling S3 Sleep on an HP Laptop (HP Victus 15-fb0102la)

You can edit your old post and the system bumps it up anyway because of a recent change, it’s not necessary to create a new post if noone has answered.

And you now created the second thread about the same item still answering yourself?

I thought I’d make a thread specific to the request that I needed instead of just asking for it in a thread that no one was posting in anything besides me.

I apologize if this may have been a bad idea, now I’m wondering which thread I should leave behind and which one I should continue to be active in regarding this.
