[Request] Bios unlocked, ECS H67H2-M

[Qtimporta]

Thanks for bump!  Sorry, I only check "View Todays Posts" link at top of site, too many sections here to check, and I've been busy so may have missed your thread and it got lost without a reply since my last reply.

Your SATA is in IDE mode?  Are you using SSD?  Even if not, AHCI performs a lot better than IDE, but you will need to make some changes in the registry before you can change it to AHCI
Enable switching between all IDE/AHCI/RAID modes by changing "Start" Values in these keys to 0 in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

Here is mod BIOS, let me know if CPU Ratio and CPU Freq (Bclk) still grayed out

Don't worry bro!
Yes it's SATA, I set IDE bc AHCI would not let me start Windows. I will try this solution.
 You know a post that helps me install the new bios? I'm really newbie and thats scare me haha

Yes, you have to either make those registry changes, or install windows with AHCI set in advance.
Inside the stock BIOS package there is AFUWin/AFUWIn64 folder, open one of those and run the exe with the red icon, it has a GUI. then select BIOS file and update. Try the .rom I sent you first, if that fails, see if you get same error with the .cap file.

I tried, AFUWin64 said "Unable to star secure flash session"

Did you try with the rom also? I assume capsule will get that, due to security.

Yes, I tried with .rom and .cap

First, try this method, follow the part at the end about flashing and download the tools package attached there so you can try that specific AFU
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/592...herboards/

If that fails still, go to BIOS Main page and get your ME FW version, if not shown there download HWINFO64 and in the large window on left side, expand motherboard and see ME section look for Firmware version. Once you know ME FW version, download matching ME System Tools package from this thread in section C
https://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Intel-M...Tools.html

Inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a windows/win/win32 folder. Select that windows or win32 folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell). Then at the command prompt type the following and send me the file created for a new edit, we will reflash this way instead.

FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

The first one, doesn't work.
I did the other process, here I send you the file.

Thanks! You may need to edit a lock via grub / setup_var, but unsure if SMI lock will stop you from writing to BIOS region or not.
Before I send you mod BIOS back, in case SMI lock does stop you I will disable it for part of the mod to make next FPT flash easier on you, please test writing back that BIOS region using command below. Let me know if all OK and no warnings or doesn't let you etc.

FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin

The command ran normally, but it did not give me any new files.

Great, it was only a test to see if you could write back your BIOS you just dumped, without error (Checking to see if SMI Lock enabled caused issue with FPT BIOS region write or not)

here is your BIOS region back, modified now, write back using following command
FPTw.exe -bios -f modbiosreg.bin

Once flashed, let me know if CPU Ratio and CPU Freq (Bclk) still grayed out, and let me know what you see inside Advanced >> Advanced (Show image if lots of stuff), if nothing/empty just let me know I will add more (Same for Chipset >> Chipset and Boot >> Boot)
