Hi, Yen, I didn't see any configlock. But there is a little piece of code in f000:72bd which pull values at f000:e1a0 (0f00 0000 6201 0000 00) and set al to 0: E1A000F0 => 0F00 0000 6201 0000 00 ds = 0xf000 si = 0xA0E1 bx = [si+2] = 0 cx = [si+4] = 0x162 dx = [si+4]-0x10 = 0x152 al = [si+8] = 0 si = [si+6] = 0 later on the function branched based on the al value. What happens next is the part I am not so sure of. But since the edi was pointing to the PUBKEY+MAKER block, I guess one of the branch will change the data preventing it being copied to high memory. I don't have a eprom programmer. So I need someone test it first. If it is correct, then we can start a new thread I didn't find the configlock. I just skipped it Not sure I am correct. I am not good at assembly language. So don't be surprised if I made a mistake
Here are the flow charts I created when I traced function at f000:72bd. Hope it will help if anyone wants to take a look into it too.
Hi Yen. I've been reading this thread regarding the FC BIOS. I have the ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo and version 1406 BIOS. When I open the BIOS ROM in MMTool 3.19 I seen the FC ID like in the screenshot I provided. Is this the FC you are talking about? I have downloaded a program called ASUS_AMI-FC10.rar from this forum for the FC BIOS. Is this what I need to remove the SLIC restriction? Thanks for your great help.
Sorry, ... i'm so stupid... what is UTS64K.BIN ?? because i don't see any infor about this file. However, I did: Use cbrom32_115 therefore. Extract and release the nocompress module: cbrom32_115 ep45dq6.10a /nocompress extract cbrom32_115 ep45dq6.10a /nocompress release Then add iasus1.bin by tommiy cbrom32_115 ep45dq6.10a /isa iasus1.bin Finally add the nocompress module again, cbrom32_115 ep45dq6.10a /nocompress iasus1.bin Then use ep45dq6.10a to flash, and it's okay. Did i miss something? Sorry, I'm brand new.
Kind of a padding module. I would put it back as you have introduced another module into the bios, it just will not be compressed. You now effectively have two ISA modules in bios..One is not compressed. You need to extract the nocompress module, so you have it to replace, release it from the bios..introduce the ISA module before the UTS64K module, and reinsert the UTS64K module. Just adding the ISA after the UTS64K module affords no activation. I dont think we know what will happen if the padding module is left out..Maybe some ill effects later that you haven't found yet??
LoL This is funny. tommyle1902, you've added the ISA.bin code twice. One time as functional ISA module and one time as nocompressrom. Instead you didn't reinsert the UTS64K code............ But it's OK, the Gigabyte bios seems to accept the ISA module code as padding waste code as well. The nocompressrom here has no function at all (except to fill up the bios with garbage.......)

Yep..I just looked at it and was going to tell you that there is no nocompress module. You need to look at the bios before you start adding the isa..some bios have an isa[1] already and you need to add it to ISA[2] or perform a different type of mod. SSV1 or OEM7 for example. Although the ISA mod is relatively simple, you can cause big trouble by not examining the bios first. This looks good. The tutorial you found was for the odd GB bios'.
