[REQUEST] Acer Aspire E5-511(G) BIOS Unlock

[dragonfire]

Hi!

So it's been a while and I modified the BIOS. I think it's correct, but I am not able to flash it. I tried the following three methods:

1. Flash it using H2OFFT-Wx64.exe: it reboots and then gives me the error: InsydeH2O Secure Flash Error: Invalid Firmware Image.
2. Crisis Recovery Method: I tried booting into Crisis Recovery Mode (removing battery and AC, plug in Usb storage with BIOS-Image, press and hold Fn+Esc, plug in AC, press Powerbutton, release Fn+Esc). While I got into the mode, it never copied the Image. I know it has to have a certain name, but I don't know which one, so I tried the following: Z5WAL.fd, Z5WALx64.fd, isflash.bin and A5WAM.fd, but none of them worked for me.
3. Using FPT (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads...post915084): I dumped the bios region, modified the dump accordingly and tried to flash it back, but I got an error, that my rom is write protected.

I don't know how to go on from here except from buying an HW SPI-Programer. But I am not going to do / try that.
Anyway you can find the modified Bios-Image here, in case you want try flashing it: https://www.sendspace.com/file/f238b5

I propably won't try anything anymore, but I wish you good luck. Maybe you will get to work.

Error 286: Unable to write data to flash with SPI lock enabled.

Not Moddable you can use only FalseClock Method !

Hi I'm sure you've heard of this issue before and after days and days of searching I can't find a solution.

What it is, is I am trying to install Intel  HAXM but the virtualization on my bios is not enabled, so it doesnt detect it in the install. I thought it would be as simple as turning it on through the BIOS, but in my luck Acer have removed the advanced tab in the BIOS where it is held. 

Through further research I found out that it is possible to flash the BIOS using Insyde Flash but all of the versions I have had access to don't seem to run (I assume its because they are not for the version I have).

So what I am asking is whether it is possible to create a fix or unlock file to reveal the BIOS. In need of solution so it will be great if you could share your knowledge on this subject, thanks in advance.

From Intel's HAXM page

Hardware Requirements:

• Intel processor with support for Intel VT-x, Intel EM64T (Intel 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality
  

You have an AMD processor. No amount of unlocking/modding is going to change that. That program will never work on your machine.

Okay HAXM aside, is it possible for the BIOS to be unlocked because virtualization is still a feature I require

I am unsure if there is a method available to get it working without unlocking it but I require it being enabled.

Thanks again

Hello!
We can try unlock hidden tabs and options, but you need a HW SPI Programmer to flash this mod.
