PHP Code:

0x16490 Selectable: Internal Graphic Device, Form ID: 0x250 {0F 0B 50 02 D3 00 D4 00 00 00 00}

Ok friend,
your EFI IFR shows these Tabs :

Form Sets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offset: Name:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x13030 Power (0x238)
0x138B0 Advanced (0x2B)
0x89CE0 Main (0x26)
0x8A2C0 Serial Port B IRQ Conflict. Please re-select! (0x74)
0x8A3E0 2E8 (0x57)
0x8A7D0 Yes (0x4)
0x8A5F0 This is the help for the year field. Valid range is from 2000 to 2099. (Error checking will be done against month/day/year combinations that are not supported. INCREASE/REDUCE : +/-. (0x2A)

It's an UEFI Bios so I think You have to use Falseclock Method
to change into NVRAM !

Now i don't have a USB stick, i tried to use SD card and Phone via usb. First i didn't turn off Legacy(i don't have Secure boot). When i choose it in boot menu(it appears like Generic Multi-card.. and phone appears like Linux USB-CD File Storage) it says " Remove disks ...".
When i turn off Legacy Support,BIOS don't see SD or Phone at all
Does using USB stick critical? Or i need to format SD or download BOOTX64.EFI by some special method?

I can say that using SD Card, with external adapter, It would work, but directly into a laptop cardreader not !
Best is format It as FAT32 for more compatibility !
