10110 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi everyone, I want to unlock CFG on a Fusion 15 laptop with AMI BIOS following Dortanias Post Installation CFG Unlock guide. I followed the guide to the letter and acquired the proper offset, but am unsure whether i should run the command "setup_var_3 0x6F0 0x00" because of some warnings I received: -------- setup_var_3 0x6F0 Looking for Setup variable... var name: Setup, var size 12 var guid: ex87d643-eba4-4bb5 - a1-e5-3f-3e-36-b2-0d-a9 GUID does not match expected GUID, taking it nevertheless... successfully obtained "Setup" variable from VSS (got 7 (0x7) bytes). Too small variable detected ignoring. <--- is var 0x6f0 ignored? var name Setup, var size 12, var guid: ec87d643-eba4-4bb5 - a1-e5-3f-3e-36-b2-0d-a9 <--- is this some random variable after 0x6f0? GUID does not match expected GUID, taking it nevertheless... expected a different size of the setup variable (got 4937 (0x1349) bytes). Continue with care... successfully obtained "Setup" variable from VSS (got 4937 (0x1349) bytes). <--- can I trust this message, was the correct offset loaded? (value seems to fit: 0x01) offset 0xf60 is: 0x01 The guide says UEFITools can only open ASUS, MSI, ASRock firmware. I was able to open the AMI firmware correctly. Still, is AMI BIOS supported by GRUBShell? The guide says nothing about this. So, can I trust that the correct variable was loaded or will it overwrite some random value instead of 0xf60 (possibly bricking my laptop)? Are these warnings to be expected? Just want to be sure as I am changing my BIOS. Thanks for any help! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example my extraction: In my case as shown below 0xC8A with 0x00 to disable " setup_var 0xc8a 0x00 " without quotes Hi, thanks for your quick reply! 🙂 But I got "error offset is out of range.." when using "setup_var 0x6f0" According to Dortania I should use the command where that error does not occur, right? Can I ignore those other warnings (GUID etc.), will the proper offset be changed? -------------- My Offset in Bios.txt: 0x3DF00 One Of: CFG Lock, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x6F0, Var Store: 0x1 QuestionId: 0x230, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x1, Step: 0x0 {05 91 BC 03 BD 03 30 02 01 00 F0 06 10 10 00 01 00} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10110 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 ok, thanks, Im considering following your advice. But can you explain before why this below is outdated or wrong?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I am not sure that GRUBShell has a relation to our forum. We have a ControlMSR.efi tools that can be launched from UEFI Shell from OpenCore or from Clover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try ControlMSR.efi when I have more time tomorrow. Is there a guide for it? Thanks for your reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
