[READ FIRST] Access Advanced settings through EFI shell

[BJockeyR]

I`am testing ... and reading the log file which you have sent me.

Until now MacOSx does not regocnize the changes in the way i hoped , Intel Graphics is always in the first place (and since the 4400HD is not official supported by Mavericks, it only works with 64MB regardless of BIOS Settings)

[Falseclock]

have you tried to set more RAM for GPU and boot with Win PE to check video settings?

Hey!
Have posted one request too, I just want to know if you think you can be able to decrypt it or if I need to keep research for it ?

[Falseclock]

Hi! So, I can't run the Perl script, same errors as mentionned before...
Anyone can help me to decrypt my bios file ?

HP envy 15 j071sf
-Bios Version: F.35
-Setup menu screenshot : HERE
-Bios Type : Insyde EFI
-Original Bios URL : HERE
-Dumped .bin URL : HERE

Ideally, I'd like to have all the logfile for modifying like I want, but if this is impossible, I'd just like to be able to enable AHCI and see what I can do after that

Oh and I've tried many differents ways before finding this forum, never be able to do anything with my bios.. And before posting here, I tried all methods on @donovan6000's blog without any success.. (UEFI bios, can't get your tools to work )

Anyway, thanks for reading this and trying to help me !

Good to see you're back Falseclock!
I'd like to ask you the "readable" dump of the setup utility of my acer E1-571G, I failed to do it myself.
Bios available here: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...SC=EMEA_17[/url]
If you run the file, and the .fd is in the windows temp folder.
I should be able to set the values myself then, I plan to see if I can turn off some things so it's just a on/off setting, won't touch the video setup so it should be pretty easy/safe.
Sorry if I just ask stuff. Anyway thanks in advance.

see PM
