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

[feluchi]

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}

Hi,

My laptop is Acer E5 - 553 T4PT. I want to enable amd- Virtualization. I have attached and also uploaded the vars.txt file in my google drive. Please help me to enable virtualization.

Thanks.

Hi,
 here's your modded vars-file with AMD-V enabled: https://www.sendspace.com/file/38gfjh
 You need to put the vars_mod_saikatpaik.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_saikatpaik.txt
 H2OUVE will update the NVRAM area of the BIOS and after a reboot the new setting should be active.
 This method will only enable AMD-V and not mess with any of the other settings of your BIOS.
 In case you want to revert to default, you can go back to default with the following command:
 H2OUVE.exe -sv vars.txt
 Using the reset to defaults option in the BIOS would work, too.

Hi,

 H2OUVE will update the NVRAM area of the BIOS and after a reboot the new setting should be active.
