In the case of IdeaPad 330, this cannot be done using the H2OUVE. UVE is mostly applicable for unlocking Clevo motherboards with Insyde BIOS.
how is the unlocking done?
You select the "Show" option of a special setting and save changes in the H2OUVE. Please don’t ask me about this here again. This thread is for H2OEZE.
Hi, do you can kindly , please make the download Link again ?! I also get only the Link at which there must install some software . Best regards lolo
@lolomann Hi, what are you trying to download?
The Tool for Insyde Bios to make the default settings to another value. I have here a bios and can take a look into it. With the H2O EZE Tool 100.00.03.04 . So i see all what is in real in Bios menu , I see with the EZE Version I have. Opening the Bios is no Problem. I can change in GUI the Settings, then I save the Bios . But I see after changed the Settings, there is no "SAVE" possible, I must do it with "Save as". In the GUI of EZE was written Insyde H2O Setuo Editor (Default) and Cuurent User : Admin. For looking the result, I reload the Bios again in the H2O EZE Tool ,the setting I was changed was lost and it looks like before. So changes are no working Then i have a settings which was greyed out and I do not can change it. I miss a option and a field in the GUI to open the greyed field and change. So 2 points which are not working. Or I doing something wrong. or could it be the Bios is locked in any way ?

Zitat von Farhankhosravi im Beitrag #97 Hello all... i have Lenovo Ideapad 330, and i want to change it's boot logo
Hello. If I change the logo, how are you going to install this BIOS? Installation using update program will be impossible because once modified BIOS requires to be signed by the manufacturer. Only Lenovo has the original certificate file and the password to it.
Oh Sweet kitten… REALLY?..
my BIOS model is Insyde; so you mean that i can’t ever change or remove this ugly boot logo?!.. really there’s no way??..
Farhankhosravi:
really there’s no way??
There’s a way using a SPI programmer to reflash the BIOS.

I was able to use it to open the BIN file. Just set it to All files. However, wont be able to save it as BIN. Need to extract the setup utility. Not sure how to do that:/

@Bruce H2OEZE utility won’t unlock anything in your BIOS. Create a separate topic in the modding requests section and I’ll help you.

I intend to share this useful tool which has low publicity so far. It’s a tool made by Insyde, citing from their pages:H2OEZE™: Easy BIOS Editor that helps edit binaries in the BIOS, including Option ROMs, driver binaries, logos, and Setup values. "The H2OEZE program is designed to provide interfacing functions that allow users to replace the content of BIOS or to modify the initial value in the BIOS. To perform these interface options, users must first load an FD file." NOTE: Download attached as file to this topic. Alternative mirror: dropbox DL (click) Edits .fd ROM files This tool allows you to conveniently replace and export ; - OpROM (including VGABIOS’es) - Any module of choice (by GUID) - Setup menu settings (CSV, example output: https://pastebin.com/ns9DjwQt Module operations: - Replace module - Insert new module - Delete existing module - Export a moduleOpRom operations: - Replace OpROM - Export OpROMOther operations: - Change BIOS version number - Change product name - Replace FV - Setup Menu: update defaults, update strings - Factory copy merge - Generate logo FFS (EDK, EDK2) - Replace logoMicrocode operations: - Delete, append, add, replace, load, FlashMap (details), view header, details and content Image of microcode tab: Full documentation is included within the application’s GUI interface: Help menu at top > H20Eze Help. Sample documentation (part about command line usage & syntax):
Command Line Interface The H2OEZE application supports both GUI and Command Line. You can automate it with batch scripts or from other programs. All commands and parameters are specified with -command:parameter. You MUST use double quotes to encapsulate the parameter text with spaces.

(I wasn’t sure in what category to ask) Hello! I’ve been interested in BIOS modding lately and I’ve wanted to mod my InsydeH20 BIOS for stuff like advanced options, custom logo and maybe also changing the product name and help text I’ve been wondering how could I achieve this, I know some basics about BIOS modding but not that much about Insyde ones and I would really appreciate some help from the forum members By the way I don’t have a BIOS programmer so I would like to avoid any possible failure I have a InsydeH20 v1.20 BIOS Here is a link to the stock BIOShttps://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles…BC=ACER&SC=PA_6
