OK I see what you did. Just to clarify, you only used FITC to generate reference values to change?

Yes.

Also why did you change the flash descriptor when we aren't even flashing the flash descriptor?

If Number of Flash Components isn't 0 FITC will generate 3 full flash files who have 4-16MB. Leaving it default probably don't make any difference for my purpose but generating ME only is easier to compare it with ME firmware extracted by fptw64.exe.

Also can you be more specific on how you altered HDA_SDO? The only way I know how to unlock Dell's is to desolder the flash ROMs.

L502X modded bioses download (GPU voltages and more!) (scroll down to "Descriptor Securiy Override") or #2627

Realtek audio IC has a different pinout. Mine need shorting pin4 and pin7.

I successfully overclocked my notebook. Thank you all!!

Notebook: Dell Inspiron N5110 (same to Dell Vostro 3550)

PCH: HM67

ME: 7.1.60.1193

ME RW access: HDA_SDO pin

Instructions:

1. Dump ME firmware with fptw64.exe -ME -D dump.bin
   
2. Open dump.bin file with ftic.exe and set Number of Flash Components to 0
   
   
3. Build Image – outimage.bin will be generated.
   
4. Rename outimage.bin to outimage0.bin
   
5. Make required modifications and Build Image again.

6. Compare outimage0.bin and outimage.bin with Beyond Compare or any another tool.
   
   
7. Open dump.bin with a hex editor, search for outimage0.bin values and replace them with outimage.bin values. Eg: If you changed SRC Source Select from 0x00033733 to 0x00133734 you'll need to change 33 37 03 00 to 34 37 13 00 a single time. All values changed are placed at close offsets.
   
8. Flash ME firmware with fptw64.exe -ME -F dump.bin
   

XTU:

I edited some modules that amibcp can open the bios but all the tabs appear twice.

Setting Access to USER allow for only two items to appear: DBC Panel and Set Service Tag.

any progress ??

I'll pay 5 USD for unlocking hidden menus and 5 USD for UEFI boot; 10 USD for both

The file that I posted previously works with PhoenixTool and MMtool. With AmiBCP, the previous file and the backup have string length error.
