[READ FIRST] Access Advanced settings through EFI shell

[pivanov]

couple of newbie questions:

1. Does this work only on uefi or also with legacy bios?

2. I have two bios files from Acer - normal and uefi, downloaded both and used the Phoenixtool (they both seems to be non encrypted at least i could extract the DUMPS). Using the perl script (with some errors) I got the logs (for both bios files) but can't seem to find the option I'm looking for (resume on power loss).

What can I do more ?

ps.

Hi!
I think that you can search already prepared unlocked bios in this place:  https://www.bios-mods.com/BIOS/index.php?dir=Insyde%2F

Hi, 
I was checked the link before but in another topic I saw that the bios made by Camiloml had a Checksum issue and I don't know whether the problem has been fixed in the version provided in this link or not. That's why I didnt try it.    

P.S. I know that the moded bios made by Donovan6000 is working properly but I could not find any links to download it and all links I'd found here has been expired.

As soon as my battery level drops to 10%, display gets dimmed after a few secs and - even worse - CPU frequency is set to smallest possible value. This must be caused by firmware since it happens regardless of OS power management settings, but there is no option in firmware setup to disable this.

So it would be nice if you could unlock the Advanced tab, hoping that it can be disabled there.

Acer TravelMate B117-M/Lepus_BA
-BIOS type: Insyde H2O
-BIOS version: V1.23 05/16/2018

Thank you very much in advance!

EDIT: Sorry, of course I don't want to have the Advanced tab unlocked; I would like to have a list of settings that cannot be changed via setup menu, but via setup_var.

Is it too late for me to put in a request? I have the following:

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/mo....Q3ZAA.001

-Acer Nitro 5
-Model No.: AN515-53-52FA
-BIOS Version, Date:    Insyde Corp. V1.22, 10/31/2018
-Link: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles...ER&SC=PA_6

Well, I tried it on my own, following Falseclock's tutorial.

PhoenixTool processed isflash.bin from the linked BIOS (v1.23) flawlessly, but Falseclock's Perl script fails at processing FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_1262.ROM: EFI_HII_PACKAGES() returns an empty array.

I also tried it with isflash.bin from v1.13, which I can use as well as v1.23, but same result.

At first, I wasn't able to dump by BIOS; I tried the platform.ini method and invoking flasher executable with -g switch, both with H2OFFT-Wx64.exe under Windows 7 and with H2OFFT-Sx64.efi in UEFI shell. Using the efi executable with -g switch gave me "Error: IHISI 14h failed. Internal Error Code 0x24. FBTS: Read bios failed".

Then I tried Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0. Since it stated it couldn't recognise my BIOS, I tried it with size 4096K, and it succeeded. I ran PhoenixTool with that image, which succeeded too, but FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_1262.ROM obtained this way is identical to that I got from isflash.bin.

What I got from PhoenixTool can be downloaded here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Universal IFR Extractor succeeded in processing FE3542FE-C1D3-4EF8-657C-8048606FF670_1262.ROM. But before changing the value of a variable, I tried to read some, and this doesn't work: I downloaded newest UEFI shell from tianocore/edk2 project, but it doesn't have setup_var command, merely setvar, and when using this, I get an error message stating the variable doesn't exist. I can't use BOOTX64.efi from Falseclock's posts; my machine freezes when I run it.

Could anyone help me with that issue?

EDIT: I got it; the "variable" is just an offset inside the value of "Setup" UEFI variable.

Using RU.efi, I looked up the values of some inaccessible settings, and they matched the default values from IFR file. But I can't change anything. RU.efi and Linux efivarfs interface both fail when trying to write to "Setup" UEFI variable.

For the time being, I'll let it go at that.
