[REQUEST] Acer Aspire E1-731-10054G50Mnii

[Wolfje]

Hiya all,

Tried finding a modded version of this BIOS, even started trying to hack it myself, but it's just out of reach of my knowledge. So if possible I would like to request the hidden menu's to be enabled through a post here.

Model: Aspire E1-731-10054G50Mnii
Manufacturer: Acer
Original BIOS download link: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...SC=EMEA_18
System BIOS version: V2.30

Same Original BIOS download link but on sendspace:

I've ran Backup Tool12 and put the results on sendspace here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/irk5mf

Also added are the screenshots from the BIOS menu below:


If anything else is needed, let me know.

There is a wrong !
You posted Bios v. 2.30 which is Insyde and I have already unlocked, but result file
shows an AMI Bios AS686 2.40 version and It seems to be an Asrock Z87 Ex6 Bios ?
I think You have uploaded the wrong result !
Let me know
Regards

To unlock AMI Aptio Bios = actual result file posted look here :

My bad indeed. I had it ran on my normal system first to check what was inside it. Forgot to clean it up.

The new results are placed. Unfort. I get some messages about Protected Range Registers. Unsure if that's a problem or not.

Ps. Jeez, that's fast response. Massive thanks! I'll make sure to donate some ^^

Donate to me . . . look into my Signature

P.S. If You got error 28 yet We can try to use Sleep Bug !

Thanks for the mod. Results are in:

[results]

Error 28: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access.
Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable Protected Range Registers.

So unfortunately it wasn't able to flash the bios. Any tips/tricks? You've mentioned something about a sleep bug? Also, do u know if it (by chance) enabled the option to change video memory size? At the moment it's limited to 64mb and I have about 8gb in this thing, so would be awesome if that's possible. Usually a BIOS has that option, but it appears to be locked.


Ps, donation has been send nonetheless: 07H14855UX325520X

Any chance on the sleeping bug tip?

[BDMaster]

We can try the Sleep Bug so follow this guide :

Put the laptop into Sleep Mode and then Wake-Up It then try to flash the Bios Mod
from Windows, so move modified folder into C: HD root place and open a Comand Prompt
with Admin Rights !
Then execute these comands (hit ENTER after any comand) :

cd \

cd modified

fptw.exe -f bios.bin -bios

Or for x64

fptw64.exe -f bios.bin -bios

if You will get again error and not PASSED then only na HW SPI PGM You have to get !
Let me know
Regards

Finally got the laptop out of my wifes hands and tried it, but unfort. it wouldn't pass:




Steps I followed:
- Open CMD in admin mode
- Put laptop in sleep mode
- Woke up laptop
- Ran command as seen in screenshot

(also tried with steps 1 and 2 switched)

What does this mean?

if You will get again error and not PASSED then only na HW SPI PGM You have to get !

We can try the Recovery Procedure like an user asserted here :

If it does brick, it's a very good reason to buy another (better) one which I don't mind, hahaha. I'll let you know the outcome asap!
