[READ FIRST] Access Advanced settings through EFI shell

[psyborg]

Are you all people blind?
This is not a thread to "unlock" bios.
You basically work around its UI, but the thing itself remains the same.

A modern tl;dr could be:

1. Get your bios image (dump/download/extract from wherever you want)
   
2. Open it with Phoenix Mod Tool (if image is not signed UEFITool should work too)
   
3. Find SetupUtility module in Structures
   
4. Extract it decompressed
   
5. Open the thing in Universal IFR Extractor
   
6. Extract it disassembled
   
7. Open the resulting text file
   
8. Look for whatever variable number you want to tinker with
   
9. Boot in UEFI Shell
   
10. Use setup_var command as explained in post #2
    

If one doesn't feel brave enough, trying to edit normally available settings could be a good start.

yeah this is good. if you need only modify setuputility. what about other bios modules?
have a RAM with min. 333MHz and other with min 400MHz. 400MHz is partially detected only with presence of 333MHz one, when alone laptop doesn't start. how do you find bootstrap min clock for ram in bios?

It is currently impossible to bypass the new internal protection.
At the moment, patched modules only for platform 08224.

Hello.
I have a monoblock Lenovo IdeaCentre B550 AIO.
He has a discrete AMD video card. I want to change the processor to XEON E3-1280 v3.
But the BIOS does not allow you to select this video card to download (the possibility of selecting a video card is blocked).
If you load with the processor i7-4430, then the download passes normally, even the Test BIOS does not pass with the Xeon.
Help unlock the discrete video card in the BIOS settings.

Best regards.
