Ok~i see.
Now try to re-flash this mod then respond to the result.

Edit
==============
If anyone has the identical model laptop and also need a menu unlocked modification. Please make a bios dump with this tool then attach file. (run dump.bat as administrator)
I will edit this unique dump.

@ genius239 WOW! Its works! Where i can find a menu with swiching or / off XTU interface in bios to undervolt and oc processor via windows?

@Belmont

I don't know if the method is feasible in an Intel 11th gen laptop , but you may take a attempt to follow below steps to activate Throttlestop or Intel XTU.

Go into Advanced => Power & Performance => CPU - Power Management Control => CPU Lock Configuration ,then disable "CFG Lock" and "Overclocking Lock".

Go into Advanced => OverClocking Performance Menu ,then enable "XTU Interface".

I try this. After switching "CFG Lock" and "Overclocking Lock" i can oc and undervolt i7 11800h via windows. But no correct setting for
"XTU Interface" and no options for Speed Shift in bios, still it works.

Hi guys, I'm Chris from TechTablets that reviewed this Thunderobot ZERO on Youtube (I think it's the only review so far) anyway one thing that really holds this laptop back is the undervolting and overclocking with the locked down bios settings. I see your mod has fixed that!!!

But just a few questions, is there System Agent settings for RAM unlocked there also? I have some 32GB 3200Mhz CL16 RAM I'm using but it's not running the XMP profile timings. Will the bios fix this?

Also how to flash this backup.bin file? In my experience, AFUDOS flashing was always with a bios .ROM not bin file? Sorry if it's a silly question it's been a while since I've flashed a bios which app and commands?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot of your work! I'll be sure to donate

You can flash the BIOS with FPTw.exe. Click start, type run, type hwinfo32, on the large window on left side, expand motherboard and find ME area, inside that get the ME Firmware version. Once you have that, go to this thread and in the section "C" download the matching ME System Tools Package (ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc)
https://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Intel-Management-Engine-Drivers-Firmware-amp-System-Tools.html. Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell). To flash BIOS type >> FPTw.exe -bios -f *biosnamehere*.bin
As for the BIOS having unlocked memory settings, I have no clue, but you could look for yourself by using AMIBCP.

Got it thank you so much. I will flash the bios and take a look myself if this modded bios has the System Agent / Memory menu unlocked or not. My goal as mentioned is to be able to select the XMP profile via the bios so this faster RAM isn't wasted.

It worked all unlocked settings. Thank you @loopdee and @genius239 for the modded bios! (Donation sent via Paypal)
