Hello, I got a Alienware Area 51 R2 late 2014, I just wonder if a bios unlock is even possible? https://app.box.com/s/b3dw155uvoi7lzu3dz3tgrt5toasfgw8 Thanks a lot

Y580 without an OS will get the v2.0X bios I'm sure You can install retail Win8 and any other OS you like the v8.0X bios are for Y580 win8 oem only.

Yeah .. like WOL wil never work.. the reason for that is that the motherboard in a shutdown state is not supplying power (even with AC on) to the network adapter so it can't be waken. but options are in the bios. I'm looking forward for a vbios.. thanks. svl7

Great.. I will be looking for a good dual band pcie wireless card now... as for my LAN at boot problem I got resolved by loading the proper driver.. as for WOL from total shutdown still a puzzle ????? if anyone with this mod bios willing to try the right bios set up: >> lan cable in then plug the ac cord the lan light next to the cable should blink. that my goal... BIOS puzzle ... hummmm.

Hey svl7 what are the cards you added? any 5 ghz brand? Also I running flat as to where is the trick to get the gig Atheros LAN on at boot, I have tried a lot of combination none work.. I need PXE lan up and running at boot. I use acronis and paragon to back on network. any ID???? Thanks

Hey all I have new pics. video config thermal config advanced cpu control IDE config > HDC config has 3 options: IDE - AHCI - RAID good if someone want to RAID a msata with a regular SSD... but not sure if it work
-
You don't need to remove the wireless card to see the bluetooh module to work.. just go to the stock bios and disable the wireless lan, that it..

You welcome.. Thanks for you to make this happening. maybe they mean "regression enable" as if yes then no go.. contradiction very yes. I haven't play much with settings yet.
-
I just got it figured out: at the top of the "platform.ini" file change this: SwitchString=ACEN DCEN CPVER:[1] FHRST RESSEN to this : SwitchString=ACEN DCEN CPVER:[1] FHRST RESSDIS that will enable bios regression.. OK guys I flashed the mod ... and it's SUCCESS I will upload pic later, as I don't have the right yet.. Here is the Bios PIC here

I have an error when flashing "the version of rom file isn't newer than bios version" and InsydeFlash.exe quit..... I bet some tweaking has to be done to the "platform.ini" to remove previous bios version check
-
Hey svl7.. what tools did you use to open this bios? you can PM if you want.
-
I thought the Phoenix Crisis method is used on Lenovo???
-
I agree.. me too.. flashing a dump from an universal bios dump as a test make me nervous. I got the platform.ini working for flashing.. and made a real InsydeFlash backup bios but didn't flash.. but still it's a Y480 flashing tools as no original flashing tools has been released for the Y580 yet... just evaluating that bricking may bring downtime and Headache .. Hey svl7, thanks.. any good and proven recovery method available? OP would you try??
