Thanks for posting the A05 version. Any chance you can do it for the A06 version? Also, I would be very interested in learning how you do this as its something I have wanted to learn for a while.

Lol thanks for being so patient. I was extra busy this week with school, so I'll get the A06 bios done tomorrow. I'll also post some screen shots explaining the modifications I do so that you can understand how it all works
OK,
here's the A06 modded bios.
And for a quick explination, I after extracting the Setup module form the rom, I dissassemble it with IDA Pro and see why the tabs are being hidden. As you can see in thei screen shot, the tabs were being skipped becase of a blacklist.

Then I use
Universal IFR Extractor to see if there's any additional settings being hidden. You can see here that there's soem options being hidden by the EFI_IFR_SUPPRESS_IF_OP and EFI_IFR_TRUE_OP.

That's it. I go into a lot more detail about reverse engineering and modifying bios in the tutorial on my
blog
Awesome sauce!! Thanks for taking the time to explain it with screenshots. Now I just need to digest it all and learn from it. Also, big thanks on getting the A06 version unlocked too!!
Duuuuuuuuuude, i've been waiting for A05 mod for over a year.
Just flashed it and everything went smooth.
Thanks a lot!
