    Hello All

    Im posting @dsanke Bios unlock here as he has no time to post a thread or to help with issues that may arise from installing this mod. I was granted permission to post his work by him. He doesnt have a place for donations but in the future i will speak with him to setup a donations tab. He made this unlock for mine as he had one for a older bios that i tried and didnt work. Please before installing check if your bios matches the one i posted. Im only sharing this because @Mr. Fox asked me to and Dsanke gave the go ahead make sure to thank mr.fox too! As he said an unlocked bios is better then Clevo cancer crap bios.

    Please do not bother asking dsanke any questions as he may not answer.

    Please ask me any questions and i will try my best to my knowledge to assist you.

    This and with every mod comes with a disclaimer. Your warranty maybe voided by installing this mod or any other mod and im nor anybody is responsible if something happens to you, your laptop, your dog or anything else in this world lol. Please understand your installing this mod at your own risk and you are fully responsible if anything should go wrong. if you dont feel confident installing this then DONT!!

    There are NO ME or EC fixes here This isnt @Prema lol. This is a straight up unlock. This may not ever be updated. So if the bios is updated you may never be able to unlock again unless dsanke makes another or you maybe lucky and it might remain unlock but im highly doubtful.

    Now here are the files download this. This will be installed thru windows.

    https://mega.nz/folder/MBRGDLZC#6pCRR41wNmNsJNa-pmaGvA

    If this one doesn't work try this one. These files are completely different so one may work and the other may not.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GYY2EqzkIX_beeYs9L9bT8efRsWk4ObD/view

    1.
    Run the Unlock.bat file with administrative rights
    2. Answer the one question it ask with yes
    3. Let it fully run its course it will take a few be patient. When its done it will notify you
    4. Restart go into bios and reload defaults go back into bios after restart again
    5. Unlock everything (whatever options you need) and boom enjoy

    You may get an error if you do still do 4 thru 5 it may still have worked as this happend to me and it still worked. This maybe do because you had a different/older/newer bios.

    Go into the bios after unlocking and go thru the options and choose to enable what you want. In the advance tab where (show clevo setup and show clevo items is)

    This bios will give you options for XMP Profile, custom (Manually input numbers) memory profile, Unlocking Flex Ratio, Changing max turbo, Some Voltage control (NOT VID UNFORTUNATELY) UEFI Boot options such as thunderbolt drives and CSM (No installing windows 7 yet) and alot of other stuff thats to long to list.

    Here all the drivers just incase somebody out there needs them these are thee latest especially thunderbolt.

    https://mega.nz/folder/MZRWCRyQ#v7eAxVWHlFTYoM15sD6BXQ

    Enjoy,

    P.S Im extremely appreciative of Dsanke and for doing this for me and to share to all.

    in the batch file the line " sfk rep setup\body.bin -yes -bin -pat /1206!token2!0000/1206!token2!5815/ " doesn't work. Its him who give the error and after that nothing because without that line we don't have the modification for the bios so the script don't work at the end.

    Please don't say we did anything wrong intentionally. You assume all risk in trying the mod and I did post people may get an error when trying. Please try the other one I just posted if it doesn't work then sorry and again refrain from saying we intentionally are doing something malicious to you.

    Sorry, I am confused here. There are 3 different links to the unlock.bat / lock unlock files,but I do not see a link to the "nomral" current bios so I can upgrade to 1.4.x. or am I missing something? Thank you as always.

    Hello! There is a proposal to organize a purse for Dsanke respected, much as you can. I think it will be the right decision to support the enthusiast, he has done a lot for the community and his work should be encouraged.

    Dsanke is not supporting this. He shared this with me and told me to do as I please so I shared it. There may not be any upgrades to this as posted in the first post you may try to upgrade over this unlock and see if it maintains your unlock but I won't be held responsible for anything at all you do at your on risk. I haven't tested it myself and won't be doing any testing. Again anything you do here is at your own risk. No 3000 series update will be available until dsank decides he's ready. Please do not text him about this as he mentioned to he is busy with other projects and cannot devote time to this. If I get any updates from him I will post them!

    If anybody wants to buy me a beer for sharing you could thru paypal but it is not required!

    The disclaimer should be good enough. Whoever does this assumes all risk and responsibility. Just know they can't blame us. Also I know how hard prema has it with ppl begging for updates and to install his bios

    First time post, long time viewer of these forums, I just wanted to add a potential fix when you cannot reset NVRAM after a bad bios setting. I set the voltage too low for my 10850KF and couldn't get bios to post after pulling the CMOS. I ended up putting the battery and 1 power cable in. After multiple attempts to boot without CMOS in, it finally started to power cycle and presto! I cannot say for sure if this is a sure fired way to reset NVRAM since I am not willing to replicate the issue again, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

    Pulling the CMOS and moving a ram stick or putting a different speed one can help.

    Whoa, yeah diabetes is no walk in the park. I've lost numerous family members to its effects along with several having amputations. Here's to a full recovery and getting well as soon as possible.
