[Lost_N_BIOS]

You're welcome, here you go, should be all unlocked now!

Please let me know if anything missing, if you need copy of AMIBCP to compare possible settings vs what you see in BIOS send me PM

[neo26rus]

not included in bios, black screen

[Lost_N_BIOS]

What do you mean? Nothing, it's a brick, only black screen? If yes, sorry, let me double check things

Maybe we should have continued with one step at a time test, since now we must go back and do one by one to find the cause anyway.
I know that's a pain for users so most hate doing things that way, but I do prefer it to avoid things like this.
Unless I can find some obvious error once I check the file I sent.

I checked the file, and nothing looks off. Please wait, tonight I will build you huge set of test files going one step at a time, so we can find the cause of the issue.
I suspect it's either the advanced swap or the addition of chipset, but we'll have to narrow it down one move/edit I make at a time.

Here, real quick, test this so we can rule out the AMIBCP edit before I did anything else, so this one move #1
I made a single edit in AMIBCP to Main BIOS page on this file, before I build rest using this one as the base (I enabled MAC Address to show on Main page)

thank you, I can check tomorrow

[Lost_N_BIOS]

OK, well tonight I will make you a set of tests files so we can narrow it down, and then make all other edits except the one that causes this

[neo26rus]

yes I see the Mac address

[Lost_N_BIOS]

OK, so that confirms that initial AMIBCP edit I made didn't cause the bricking BIOS, thanks for checking. I'll now build you a set of test files based on that BIOS as starting base BIOS, testing changes one by one until we find what's causing it to fail.

* Edit - Back on Boot2 here for a second, for another initial quick test, this should again have two boot menus, but I'm testing if the addition of this added entry is what caused the bricking (When I added chipset menu ID to two different certain areas on the failing BIOS). Please test both, let me know if both boot menu still visible on both, and if either bricks the board (So be ready to recover again with Boot3BCP BIOS)

We may need to do this same exact test type with the chipset changes by themselves instead, if both of those fail. Maybe should have done that initially, but I thought maybe this is easier, kinda same/same so should give us a good enough answer though I think. If not, I'll do this instead next.

* Edit 2 - here is the chipset only test, this is similar to above, but moving forward and adding chipset menu only to see if this causes the brick (Also be ready for recovery when testing this)

Next test if above is OK will be the Advanced swap, which I left for last as I suspected the other edits (To add additional menu entry) maybe more of the issue than the adv switch, but it could be that as well.

* Edit 3 - here is Advanced swap only, test this last, but please do test all and let me know outcome of each test BIOS here

[neo26rus]

only edit3 is included in bios, advanced settings are visible

[Lost_N_BIOS]

Please give me your detailed test results from each BIOS I sent
Example >> Boot2T1.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS - OR can enter BIOS, do see x2 boot menu
Example >> Boot2T2.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS - OR can enter BIOS, no boot menu x2, only one boot menu
Example >> Boot3ChipTest.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS / Can enter BIOS, no chipset menu
Example >> Boot3ADVSW.rom - can enter BIOS, new advanced menu visible.

Thank you, I need to know full detailed comments from your test on each one, so I know exactly what does or doesn't work on which BIOS, so I know what method to use to move forward

[neo26rus]

Boot2T1.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS
Boot2T2.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS
Boot3ChipTest.rom - brick, can't enter BIOS
Boot3ADVSW.rom - can enter BIOS, new advanced menu visible
