[Request] Asus S400CA BIOS Unlock

[harkules]

Hello,

I never knew modding your bios was possible otherwise I would've done this years ago when I first got this laptop!! Anyways here's the link to download the American Megatrends bios v207: DOWNLOAD FROM HERE

Thank you so much for doing this guys! I really appreciate it! I wonder what new settings this will open up!

Here's a picture of the Main page on my BIOS. The memory is greyed out. There is no graphics card on this computer though. I'm really hoping there is some way an option to slightly overclock it appears

Hello,

I am trying to unlock my ASUS S400CA bios to be able to disable Secure Boot & allow legacy boot for Windows 7 installation.  

I have done it before on a different laptop of the same model, but it was a few years ago and can't for the life of me figure it out now.

the newest version of the BIOS is 210.  I have attached a clean version downloaded from ASUS.

If anyone could help me out, id greatly appreciate it!  Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks!

Please download HWINFO64 and on the large window expand motherboard section on the left, look for ME section and get the ME Firmware version. Then from this page, in section "C", download the matching ME System Tools package.
https://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Intel-M...Tools.html

Inside you will find a Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select the Win/Win32 folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (not power shell). Then run the following command and send me the created file to modify.
FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

Additionally, in case no ME is shown in HWINFO please download Universal BIOS backup toolkit and dump the BIOS. This may setoff false positive virus warning's, disable before downloading r ignore etc. Window cannot be moved, click read and then once done click backup to save BIOS and zip and upload for me

If, you only need to change that one setting, and really don't need unlocked BIOS, I can help you do that without BIOS mod or BIOS flashing etc.
If you want to do that instead let me know and I will give you info on how to do it.

Thanks, I'll work on this and get it back to you tonight

Please show me image of your Boot BIOS page and Boot >> CSM submenu page inside boot (if you have it)
This is where you disable secure boot >> UEFI Boot >> Disable

I can unlock the hidden chipset menu for you, but nothing related to what you ask is there. So for any other pages, I need to see images of your BIOS to see what's currently visible to you and what's not. If you take a bunch of images, please resize if camera makes large images, and then zip all into one file. Less than 1MB or 1000px wide is all that's needed for this, don't need 4K images or 5MB per etc Thanks

Here are the images.  these are all of the main pages in the bios.  And none of the sub menus have anything about boot settings.

Also,  Like i said in my first post, i had two of these laptops. The first one i was having the same issue a few years back. 2014 to be exact. I submitted a post on another forum for help.  I just found the file they sent me.  it worked great on that laptop.  But it will not work on this one.  

It looks like a self extracting setup file.  i unzipped the .exe with winrar, but couldnt make sense of it.

I thought id attach that file as it may help.

Thanks for images, will get this for you shortly. On the Mod_All file, that seems to be missing BIOS file, one of the batch files is calling a BIOS and it's not even included, so I have no clue what that's meant to do, you'll have to find the thread you got it on and that may help.

Here is mod BIOS, flash using >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregmbcp.bin

If any new submenus are empty, please send new images and I will redo and add missing items. You can compare with what you see in AMIBCP 4.55, open biosreg in AMIBCP 4.55, anything you see missing in there not showing in BIOS we can make visible in BIOS.
