With UBU 1.69.13 with the modded mmtool 5.2.024, no errors on Aptio 4 with my original un-modded z87ws bios who wasn’t working before ??? everything ok ??
@SoniX : Meanwhile I have tested the UBU v1.69.13 with an Aptio 4 (ASUS P8Z68-V) and an Aptio 5 (ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Prof. Gaming i7) BIOS. In both cases the UBU folder contained the patched MMTool v5.2.0.24. Result: Everything went flawlessly. Remark: The update of the Option ROMs seems to be not yet implemented for Aptio 5 BIOSes. When can we expect it?
Thank You for testing. The OROM update on AptioV will be implemented in version 1.70.
But at the moment I’m worried about updating microcodes in fixed volumes on AptioV (x99/x299 and etc). Version 5.0.0.7 displays a message that “Error in replacing file” and the update does not occur. Version 5.2.0.24 gives out 2 other messages, but the update happens. It is necessary to check, if after updating all works without problems it is necessary to disconnect these messages.
To exclude a wrongly patched MMTool, I have repeated what you tried by using the same BIOS. Result: I got the same message. Maybe there is another byte within the MMTool code, which has to be changed.
Using patched version 5.2.0.24 seems to butcher the FIT, the offsets get updated to wrong values, Version 5.0.0.7 updates them correctly. I attached a zip of the screenshots.
The images are of UBU, UEFITool Alpha, and MCExtractor screens. I also verified the offset updates by extracting the FIT table from the bios, using the regular version of UEFITool for both versions.
I have tested UBU v1.69.13 for ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe BIOS v2104 (Aptio 4) using the two MMTool variants:
Test 1) with MMTool v5.0.0.7 (time stamp 14th march 2014) => perfect it is OK Test 2) with MMTool v5.2.0.24 (time stamp 31th january 2018) => problems:
Moreover I observe the BIOS file has been erased from the UBU folder when test 2 did fail. Nota: the input BIOS file used for test 2 was the output bios file from the test 1.
