Hi everybody. I've been trying all the day to unlock the BIOS of this machine.
What i did is: update bios to the latest version(212), then dump bios to file via afuwin64, then enable some sections and options with AMIBCP 4.53. There are sections like for example main and advanced which are occurring two times. Whatever i modify in the first occurrence doesn't have any effect. What i Hide or show in the second occurrence effectively changes my firmware setup after flashing back the modified firmware.
What i suspect is that ASUS put a second menu in the firmware which has precedence over the AMI provided one.
How can i solve this problem?

In that folder there are 3 files:
X550ZEAS.212 -> original firmware provided by ASUS
afuwin.rom -> rom dump of the freshly installed BIOS
afuwin3.rom -> last modification flashed on the notebook ROM.
I'll be grateful for any hint.
Sorry if my english is far from perfect but i'm italian
Thanks

Tried.
Sadly the only visible menus are only the Asus crippled ones.
Thanks [emoji4]

Unfortunately ,i've tried to swapping ami setup and asus setup. If it still doesn't success ,maybe you can think other ways or give it up.
Originally i thought it should at least had change on Main tab ,but you said there no changes .Okay ! it waste me much time to research it.

I don't know how to thank you for your trial, believe me.
Would you explain me how you tried to swap the menus? I'll go on trying by myself and report the results( hoping the result will not be a brick [emoji28]) [emoji4]

Cheched again after leaving the
[censored] thing off and disconnected from the plug... I can see the GOP version in the main tab.
So, if you want to explain me how you did it, I'll go on by myself for the other tabs [emoji4]
Thanks, really [emoji846]
