Hi!

InsydeH20 Bios
BIOS VERSION: V1.16
ZABA_116
Oficial Site: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/su...t/6749?b=1
Bios Download: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles...SC=EMEA_11

My vers file is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByN_7Ji...9YQ1E/view

I would like AMD-V enabled, please...

@Beah!

Ok, here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...h2Vnc/view

You need to put the vars_mod_Beah!.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_Beah!.txt
H2OUVE will update the NVRAM area of the BIOS and after a reboot the new setting should be active.

OK... already did!
But, I had some problems... at de begining i could not flash the NVRAM with the program (error 0x02) after some reboots I could, but I got the follogins errors https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByN_7Ji...RkVGs/view
Then, after reboot, the Task manager shows this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByN_7Ji...pmbEU/view (Virtualización: Deshabilitada  = Virtualization: Disable), but VirtualBox shows https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByN_7Ji...xkdWc/view and now I can run virtual box.... after reboot to Bios and exit without saving changes , now Taks manager shows https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByN_7Ji...I4ZW8/view (Virtualización: Habilitada = Virtualization: Enabled)... maybe if I reboot again task manager will show Disabled...

Any idea?

I haven't seen the error 0x02 yet, but the other errors are normal.
They appear because some of the registers are read-only.
But in this case we only needed the setup-register and that was applied successfully, so that's fine.

If VirtualBox shows that AMD-V is enabled and you can use it properly, then I wouldn't worry about what the task manager shows.
If you want, you can do some more reboots and look if the task manager shows virtualization as disabled after any of them.
In case it does show virtualization as disabled again, dump the variables with H2OUVE to a new vars-file (vars2.txt) and upload it so I can take a look at it. You can use this command:
H2OUVE.exe -gv vars2.txt

In case you restore to default settings in the BIOS, you will probably have to apply the modded vars file again, but otherwise AMD-V should stay enabled.

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).

Thanks to seems to have worked just fine! Now I do not have to return this laptop 

Acer should pay you for this support imho ;p

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

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.
