Good day/night to everyone.
I have been recently gifted an X756UV, and I intend to switch over to from my IdeaPad 300-15ISK, until I have the budget to get parts in order to switch over to a ThinkPad L15 Gen1 AMD (I wish there was an L17, or that the L16's chassis was compatible with the L14/L15's motherboard), however due to the small battery that needs to be replaced (~61% of designed capacity is left) and the NVidia dGPU for which I have no need for (no gaming, however I do need OpenCL, which works as it should with Intel's Level Zero implementation under Linux), I would like to unlock the UEFI firmware so as to disable it (unlike Lenovo, Asus offers no such option), as well as play with a few other settings (and being able to set the open lid to wake function to disabled by default and being able to have numlock off at post would be huge boons for me), plus update components such as the GPU, LAN, ME, etc. firmwares and components, as well as (optionally) port over the K556U's firmware GUI interface, as it sounds from this Vinafix thread (https://vinafix.com/threads/asus-vivobook-x556uv.23853/) as though it may also share the same motherboard as the X556UV.
Unfortunately, as the X456UV/X556UV/X756UV's (they share the same motherboard looks like the X456UV shares motherboards with the X556UV, but not with the X756UV, which is what I have) firmware is AMI's Aptio (I believe 5), rather than their InsydeH20, I cannot easily unlock it just by running a simple command (as LenovoH2O Unlocker does), so I need help here, and I would like to assist in creating an image that can be used by anyone, rather than my specific unit.
Update: Whoops, I forgot to link to the latest version:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/X7...del=X756UV
Update 2: This is interesting, it looks like the X756UV and the K756UV use the same exact firmware image, which may signify that the X556U and the X756U might not actually be the same board? In that case, perhaps Asus put more effort into the X556U than the X756U?
