Are you talking about EFI IFR Dumper, Universal IFR Extractor, or EFI Variable Dumper? The later two work on this dump. And you should start using Universal IFR Extractor if your still using EFI IFR Dumper. That program is outdated now.

And I've attached both the IFR and variable dumps for you

I flashed my BIOS with it, guess what no success!
I even changed options.ini to Flash all ROM part.
Nothing is changed in BIOS, and VT-x is still 'Locked Off'(see the screen shot of SecurAble tool)

Make another BIOS dump, also try another tool to check VT

I have attached new dump.

Please see the screen shots of VirtualBox and Microsoft tool.

For some reason, the flags I've set to 1 turned back to 0, it can be InsydeFlash fault...

Instructions are:

remove the file bin that is in InsydeFlash.exe folder, put this there, rename to the same name as it was. run InsydeFlash

I manually turned on VT and VT-d, no extra tabs must appear but VT must be enabled. If no we'll try to find another way to flash the BIOS! I'm almost sure Crisis mode (recovery) can do the trick!
If no go with this one, try this same file but rename it to L14X64.fd put it in a blank fat32 formatted USB stick, and flash by recovery like explained here:

Cross fingers as those are my last guesses

Recovery mode is not working, I tried all USB ports, FAT, FAT32, Fn+Esc, Win+B, it is not flashing my BIOS instead it is booting to Windows.

I am exhausted! I think there is something wrong with my laptop! You guys are doing your level best to help me with it, but still somehow it is not working!
