I have tested already:

Setting: Memory Frequency, Variable: 0x1EC from 1600 to 1333 and auto, working, to 1800 keeps my ram (1600Mhz) at 1600.

Setting: IGD - DVMT Pre-Allocated, Variable: 0x18C from 64Mb. to 256Mb.

Do you know if there's anyway to enable Virtualization? I see you've done quite some work there and I see the "advanced" menu being there.

The Gift !

This is V3-772G bios v.1.13 generalized (for all) Slic 2.1 Permanent + Menu Tabs Unlocked :

Rename it as Recovery bios file name "VA70HWX64.fd" put in a Dos Bootable USB Stick and use Recovery mode to flash it (I guess You've just done before).

For your EFI code mod You know how I saw !

No way BDMaster! thank you so much! I tried to do Fn+Esc but it still will not flash. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but do you think you may be able to guide me through on what to do?

Ok I will try as I don't have this laptop mine is very old and with bios not UEFI !
I modded V3-771G and V3-571G and they works !
To reflash bios I suggest to use Recovery method and it worked !
May be You have to disable SecureBoot option if your is UEFI and may be to do it
You have to set an Supervisor bios password.
Have You flashed original ver. 1.13 before the modded one ?
I attach here a version using USB Prep to clone a USB image on your USB stick, run USB Prep and create USB
Dos Bootable stick it include bios into, so You have only power off Windows and then use Recovery method !

Hi friend,
use this tool to see if there SecureBoot or Secure InsydeFlash active on your rom.

http://rghost.net/52417082

run it as Administrator and upload the result file.

And to verify if It's updated use SlicToolkit 2.1 :

If It show Slic 2.1 It will mean that update is gone well, but menu unlock don't !

Remember update will occour 3 - 4 minutes then laptop reboot by itself, isn't so ?

regards

Opssss !!! I found an error ! It's wrong name Recovery Bios filename copying was cutted last number 4 in USBimg32.ima file "VA70HWX6.fd", check it You you too in your open it by WinImage.
So I recompiled USB Prep and reupload it, so download new and retry Recovery mode. (Previous is deleted)

Hi, later if I have time I'll share the way to flash vbios, at least in the GTX 760M model, I took vbios from bios 1.13 wich is newer, but isn't flashed when you flash bios, and flashed to the vbios, but all the trials I did to overclock it didn't work, programs like GPU-Z detect the new clocks, but seems something (maybe driver?) keeps them at standard clocks.

With Andy's PhoenixTool 2.51b2 took 2 modules from your bios mod, FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_857.ROM in DUMP folder, and BIOS853.BIOS at DUMP/BIOS. Then I 7zipped your tool, with fptw 9.5 did backup of my bios, to keep my W8 activation key, then back to PhoenixTool, open my own dump bios, set advanced to let me modify all modules, when the program let me modify, I overwrited my modules with the two extracted from your bios, flashed the bios with FTPW and voila! All bios options unlocked. Thank you very much. Also I did a mod over PADDING_2090.ROM wich contains cpu microcodes, with HxD I overwrited microcode 17 for 03c6 over 16 (1st microcode at file, same size) and it's working flawless. Thank you very much BDMaster.

P.D. The trick to allow Nvflash for windows to find the card and read/write vbios is to keep GPU-Z open, I found it cause to make some benchmark apps to find Intel and Nvidia boards I had to keep it open. If someone knows how to unlock vbios this laptop would be a rocket.
