You're welcome!

Hi, I have an Asus GL503VD laptop with the AMI 307 bios. Here is the link of the version currently installed: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Gamin...DAS307.zip
also here is a FPT BIOS region dump: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vKqvkC...wfD2rG-A0z
made with FTPW64.exe
Can anyone unlock it? I'd like to be able to change extra settings .... maybe some cpu / gpu settings ? who knows what else could be inside there lol.
Let me know if any additional information is needed.


Huge THANKS in advice <3

i tried to use amibcp and set under setup pages the access/use to user .... but flashed and didn't work ... help

update 2: since after modifying the backup above with AMIBCP, (where I tried to set the access level to "USER" for "Main" "Advanced" "Chipset" "Boot" and "Save & Exit" pages under setup) didn't work, (at least nothing changed in bios.... i could only see only the normal "narrowed" original pages), i thought the smart thing to do is to flash back the stock rom from asus page, did not downgrade, just used "Winflash.exe /nodate" to flash the same 307 ROM.

P.S. got a GbE error in yellow while writing the BCP modified version,

so back to square 1.

HWiNFO64 reports Intel ME Version: 11.8, Build 3399, Hot Fix 50
will make again a Bios Region backup with flash programming tool (FPT) from Intel CSME System Tools v11 r24

aaaaand here it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UMeK4PS_KTbe4StvJcuhfVr4pRlGHIkm

Please flash in stock BIOS, using standard Asus method (EZ Flash, or whatever comes with the BIOS). Then send me fresh clean FPT BIOS region dump, then I can unlock for you. I would use one of the above dumps, but I'm unsure why you've posted two, and unsure if either are stock untouched (not edited by you) dumps.

Please send stock dump, clean flash, not edited by you in anyway, then I can mod for you to reflash via FPT - before you can flash mod BIOS back in, you have to do as I outlined in post #4 here - https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...#pid150440

Hi @Lost_N_BIOS, I appreciate your time and effort to help out,
here is the Bios region dump you asked, clean dump after a clean install with ez flash.

Thanks! Now, before you can flash mod BIOS, you need to unlock BIOS Lock using grub.
Here's how, see post #4 - https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...#pid150440

Here is your Mod BIOS

If you need unlock send me your BIOS region dump, otherwise you will loose system details (Serial, UUID, etc) - You have been warned!!!

Thanks for your report back MirukiKun, good to see you got the BIOS flashed in without any hassles

You need to disable BIOS Lock via grub with setup_var before you can flash in mod BIOS, info on that in this thread
