Try replacing this one with 0x2719 and then press Escape after entering the regular Advanced tab.
Hello, was going to create the new binfile with your proposed change.
However when opening the original bios file in UEFItool 0.28.0 it throws 2 messages saying. “parseFile: none-empty pad-file contents will be destroyed after volume modifications”. Is it safe to use the saved BIOS from this?
@etnicor, I want to warn you, there are bugs in version 28.0. It is better to use versions 25.0 or 25.1
I googled some and the padding message seemed to be ok…(were conflicting answers)
I used 0.28 since 0.25 gave the same message on padding.
I flashed BIOS with the change and flash went fine. However now the Advanced tab is not accesible at all. I can see it but can’t choose it.
EDIT:
replaced the 2nd Advanced in menu with 0x2719 aswell, then Advanced was choosable again. However I only saw the old advance options and if I pressed escape I just got “Do you want to exit without saving changes”.
Anything else I can trie?
Got it to work.
Made a 2nd attempt on changes both Advanced to 0x2719. This time I see all options when I go to Advanced. Don’t know why it didn’t work the first time…
This is freaking awesome.
Thx for the help(very happy)
I tried your tool with a tongfang 17" 13900hx +4090
I tried replacing the “main” menu with the advanced tab I wanted.I also changed permissions from 01 to 29 to match some other options
I also changed some variables directly such as overclockin lock and cfg lock and undervolt protection from 01 to 00, and NOTHING took
the menu remained totally unchanged and all overclocking was still locked, kinda weird…
Picture 2: Failsafe and Optimal are being ignored · Issue #9 · BoringBoredom/UEFI-Editor · GitHub, will eventually work on it
Picture 3: Try to change all occurrences of “Advanced” to the target Form, like etnicor did above. Then press Escape once you’re in the vanilla “Advanced” Form.
Picture 4: That won’t do anything since you haven’t been able to access the “Setup” Form so far, and you’ll likely not need to change those once you can access “Setup” anyway.
2: OK!
3: The other occurrences are ALREADY set to the one I want. Should I change a different one maybe?
4: I understand. I thought I need to change access to the “form” / “page” any other idea?
- Is there a way to just change some variables? Such as IA ICC Current limit
offset: 0x347, store: 0x2
I can’t change the variables using setup_var.efi, there seems to be an access error or something. I get error 00000000008
so hoping to change them directly in the bios image and flash it.
Tongfang and some other Chinese models might use 1 additional array to control forms visibility. UEFIEditor do not see it.
What motherboard/BIOS is that? Can you provide a download link?
Of course! attached mobo info and bios:
Uniwill / Tongfang GM7PX9N
13900HX
4090 mobile
Bios and mobo info from HWINFO is here:
The 1st forms blacklist.
AMITSE PE32 Image Section offset 25020h - 2519Fh.
The 2nd blacklist.
AMITSE PE32 Image Section offset 26E80h - 26E8Dh.
What should I do?
It depends on what you want. I can only edit the AMITSE SCT file to unlock Advanced tab. Should I do this for you?
I just noticed you replaced 0x2711-Main with 0x2717-Advanced instead of 0x2712-Advanced with 0x2717-Advanced. Try doing that and then press Escape when you’re in the UI’s Advanced tab, which should hopefully direct you to the parent Form of 0x2717-Advanced.
Yes!!!
I want to access the page where I can turn off undervolt protection, overclocking lock,
and especially, adjust the IA ICC MAX value, they set a value way too low and the CPU is always EDP limited.
THE IA ICC MAX value is offset 0x347 , Store CpuSetup,
I did do a hex edit of the bios, but I went to use AMIBCP, but there is an error with AMIBCP saying “too many strings, the tabs will not be displayed” so AMIBCP wont be able to adjust the permission.
I never actually flashed that bios, scared of bricking, only the ones edited with Brainlet’s tool, which didnt change anything I could notice.
Any idea what tool I would need in case I need to do a hardware flash if I brick it? CH341A might work?
Yes, I did that because I wanted to retain access to the 0712 page while also accessing the 2712 page.
Since there isnt anything useful on the 2711 page. Should I try again and replace the 2712 page? but there are items that also need to be accessed on that page, I dont want to lose it (but I can try, maybe i can adjust those settings another way…)
These three settings all I really want.
most important one being the IA ICC MAX
I tried with setup_var.efi but I get error 0x00000008 EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED
It’s odd because I can flash the bios fine with FPTW64.
You aren’t going to lose access to the regular “Advanced” Form, as I already explained in the usage guide on GitHub. When you select the “Advanced” tab in the UI, it will show the normal 0x2712-Advanced Form. Then you press Escape and get directed to the parent Form of the hidden 0x2717-Advanced Form, which is 0x2710 Setup. From there you can select e.g. 0x2717-Advanced (the hidden one you want) or 0x2718 Chipset.
Hi everyone, I too am having issues with a Chinese motherboard. ERYING ITX Skyline 11th gen HM570 and would appreciate some help…
I have successfully modded via UEFI Editor and flashed the BIOS but when I try to visit a menu item which has been modified the BIOS gets stuck (cursor stops working, cannot exit or do anything at all). Took a quick video of the fault: Erying ITX bios modding gets stuck on specific modified menu - YouTube

I have put together a zip file including:
- Original BIOS
- Extracted files following the UEFI-tool tutorial (4 files needed for web ui tool)
- Folder named “failed-modified-bios-menustuck” contains the final modified bios I flashed for that video I shared, the changelog for that attempt and the .sct of the mod.
- Folder named “disable-bios-write-protection” was my other BIOS flash attempt at changing just 1 default setting, to turn off the annoying “BIOS Write Protection” so I can easily flash a new bios with intel tool without an error about protected registers… unfortunately this also failed and did not work. BIOS was locked too and I had to use my CH341a programmer to recover.
