[REQUEST] ASUS N56VZ BIOS Unlock

[moral hazard]

Can you please try one last thing, first flash one of the following bios files (attached to this thread).
I hope at least one of them will flash without errors, most likely n56vza2.


Then if one of them will flash, try to flash the bios you have modded yourself.

nothing... for both files

with WINFLASH "INVALID BIOS FILE"
with AFUWINGUI "3 - Error: ROM file does not match existing BIOS size"
with AFUDOS "3 - Error: ROM file does not match existing BIOS size"
with AFUWINX64 "Error: Proiblem Getting Flash Information"
with AFLASH "Size of image file is bigger than flash ROM"

if you have any other attempt, tell me....

I have one last idea that could work but its very time consuming to do (by hand with hexworkshop).

Might be 1 week until I get some free time to do it.

OK, take your time, I will wait !

p.s. I opened your bios (ram.211) with AMIBCP, and I understand how to modify it.

Hi, (sorry for my english mistake... i'm french)
I got the same laptop, N56VZ and a tried to flash it with amibcp 4.53.
But i think i have the same probleme as you, it won't flash. it seems easy flash block flashing, maybe it detect a difference with an original bios.
So i'd like to know if its possible to force flash this type of bios, and if possible, How ?
Plus, I can't change the build date with an hex editor. I tried to take an original bios, change the date, the new date is detected but it's impossible to flash.
I tried a similar method with mmtool, i can extract the module, then i modify it, and then i can't re-insert it. it said invalid ffs.
Hope my post will help.

the only possibility is that MORAL HAZARD can do something for us,
wait a few days ....

I tried to do my best to figure this out but I can't.

If you can, maybe try to contact Prema, he might know what the problem is.

Couldn't follow this thread for a week, i'm glad someone decided to do something for this bios. I'm eagerly waiting for the solution. I need this laptop to run at least 3.5 Ghz because I'm doing video editing and faster CPU clocks are always welcomed in that area. All I want is to be able to set BCLK in the BIOS.

One possible solution from me to the problem of not being ablo to flash the old bioses:

Go to WinFlash folder, create a shorcut, right click and choose properties, type "/nodate" after the "WinFlash.exe". Thanks to this metdod you can flash the old BIOS files without any problem.

You could try to use the Afudos Engineering Edition:

afudos /idown.rom /pbnc /n [name of BIOS file]
