Introduction

Model BIOS Packs Provided
TM1701 XMAKB5R0P0603, XMAKB5R0P0906, XMAKB5R0P0A07, XMAKB5R0P0E07

These BIOS packets are from Xiaomi official or after-sale service.

The ME firmware in ME folder is from Fernando's Win-RAID Forum. Using the latest ME firmware helps to avoid potential malicious attack. The ME firmware version in the folder is Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-LP Firmware v11.8.55.3510 and the version of Intel (CS)ME System Tools is Intel CSME System Tools v11 r14 - (2018-08-09).

Warning: Since the operations are related to BIOS, it's possible that if some errors(such as force quit the update program) occur during the update process(so as to scripts in #8), the whole system may unable to boot.

If unfortunately, this situation happens on you, you need to find Xiaomi stuff to fix your device. If you use this program, you should agree that you are the person who takes the whole responsibility, instead of the author.

  • A new setting KB Backlight Mode appears in BIOS panel. Users can choose Power Saving (default, KB backlight off when keyboard idle 15s) or Standard (KB backlight always on in S0 mode)
  • Reduce fan noise when CPU is running in low load

XMAKB5R0P0A07 & XMAKB5R0P0E07

  • I have no idea about these versions. The packet providers don't give much information.
  • On my laptop, the KB Backlight Mode - Standard is not working on XMAKB5R0P0A07.
  • It's very easy to upgrade to these versions. Just download and run the exe file.

How to Update

XMAKB5R0P0603

It's allowed to downgrade to this version

  • IMPORTANT: From this step, your computer should keep in charged by AC adapter until the whole update process finishes.

How to Unlock Better Performance

FallenChromium and Cyb created scripts for changing DVMT size from 32mb to 64mb, unlocking MSR 0xE2, and editing Embedded Controller(EC) firmware to reduce fan nosie. Scripts are in DVMT_and_0xE2_fix. For more information, you can visit #8 and cybsuai's repository.
