[REQUEST] Acer Aspire E5-553(G) BIOS Unlock

[Gecko1986]

I have the laptop Acer Aspire E5-553G-T6V0.

You can find my vars.txt file here: https://stash.tk/owncloud/index.php/s/MO3mQiLmPFtcV0s

Please help me unlocking hyper-v support (task mgr tells me Hyper-V is supported but virtualization is disabled).

Ok, here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...VkTkE/view

You need to put the vars_mod_Gecko1986.txt file in the folder with the H2OUVE.exe file and execute the following command in an administrative command prompt in that folder:
H2OUVE.exe -sv vars_mod_Gecko1986.txt
H2OUVE will update the NVRAM area of the BIOS and after a reboot the new setting should be active.

If you still need AMD-V enabled, follow the instructions in this post and upload the vars.txt file: https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...#pid127706

@Party Prhone

Ok, here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...VHSW8/view

You need to put the vars_mod_Adys32.txt file in the folder with the H2OUVE.exe file and execute the following command in an administrative command prompt in that folder:
H2OUVE.exe -sv vars_mod_Adys32.txt
H2OUVE will update the NVRAM area of the BIOS and after a reboot the new setting should be active.

Hi,
the flashing of the modded BIOS might not work because the recovery checks the signature of the BIOS file.

However, you might be able to enable AMD-V using this method (needs to be adapted): http://www.geektech.co.nz/how-to-unlock-...enovo-y700
This method requires Windows as a system as the necessary tool is only available for Windows.

First, you will need the tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...RtQXM/view
Extract the archive and go to the folder with the extracted files.
Then, you need to open an administrative command prompt in that folder (google it if you don't know how).
Execute the command from step 1 of the linked guide in that command prompt (H2OUVE.exe -gv vars.txt).
After that, you'll have the file "vars.txt" in that folder.
You need to upload this file, so that I can make the change.

For reference, here's the EFI-table with available settings for this notebook: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4NHIB...WI4LW14bE0
And here's the setting that needs to be changed:
0x1C40B             Setting: SVM support, Variable: 0xEE {05 91 54 02 55 02 54 00 34 12 EE 00 00 10 00 01 00}
0x1C41C                 Option: Disabled, Value: 0x0 (default) {09 07 27 00 10 00 00}
0x1C423                 Option: Enabled, Value: 0x1 {09 07 28 00 00 00 01}

Thanks for the service. It is awesome man. Here is my vars.txt in the attachment for acer aspire e5-553-t4pt. Could you do this as well? Thank you in advanace.

It would be helpful if you could post the instructions more clearly so that we can try to understand which thread to edit.

Hi,
these errors are normal, the changes should have been applied nevertheless.
In the vars.txt file you uploaded setup had the index 041, which has "Set failed!" here.
To be sure that your changes have been applied, just create another vars-file (H2OUVE.exe -gv vars2.txt) and check, if your changes are there.

In case you want to compare, I've created a modded vars file for you, too: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...dQb00/view

Regarding the instructions, I'll see what I can do to make things easier comprehensible.
