Hello,
I updated my pc, from Evga z270 itx to Asus b660-i itx motherboard. In my old z270 motherboard everything whas easy because everything in bios was unlocked (fd, me etc), and could do everything I want.
Now in my Asus b660 everything is locked (except main bios region). I dont mind so much but I want to unlock bios so I can flash a new splash screen (I have done it with my old motherboard).
I made a bios dump with FPT (fptw64 -d mod.rom -bios), I modded it and I tried to flash back
(fptw64 -f mod.rom -bios). I got Error 167: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS.
After reading this guide, I found bios lock in setup 0x1D and i disabled it.
Also found FPRR but was already disabled. Tried again, still same error.
I suspect that BIOS Guard is the problem but I can’t find it.
I also read this similar guide 2 but that was easier finding BIOS Guard.
I run out of ideas. I include my bios dump.
I would greatly appreciate your help or either point me into the right direction.
Look forward to your feedback or reply’s.
Thank you for your time.
