in the bootx64.efi shell to unlock hidden menues or menu entrys

Can your give me an example please to read the output, find variables and patch the correct value

Im new here my name is Taske and this is my bios.

HP DV7-7295ez

-Bios Type : InsydeH20
I need the AHCI option, and unlock the Advanced tab. to configure to install Hackintosh Nerish mavericks ^^

[pengo1998]

I am very new to modding BIOS and i have very little experience as it only extends to altering already unlocked BIOS and what I've learned through my A+ cert course I'm currently taking.
my system information is:

Product Name HP G42 Notebook PC
Product Number XZ046UA#ABA
Serial Number CNF0496KNQ
BIOS (Configuration) F.17 - 11/07/2010 ( 058D110002242710010620100 )

If there is other info needed just ask. Help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for access to things that would allow me overclocking primarily and any other hidden/locked features would be nice.

Can I apply these steps on dumped file using "Universal IFR Extractor"?
