@chef1702
Thanks for your suggestion to use a4 instead of a5 version for a Aptio V BIOS structure.

342

Not sure if sarcastic but don’t you think z170 isn’t Aptio V too? mmtool 5.0.0.7 renamed as a4 is working well. But what do I know…

343

I thought MMTool a4 version (v5.0.0.7) was for Aptio 4 BIOS and a5 version (v5.2.0.24) for Aptio 5 BIOS.
a4 version is working fine for X99 v4101 BIOS (Aptio 5).

344

I remind you. MMTool is required only for updating microcodes (Aptio 4/Aptio 5), if the BIOS contains more than one FFS with microcodes … And also for updating OROM on Aptio 4.
Therefore, 2 versions of MMTool are used
v5.0.0.7 as mmtool_a4.exe
v5.2.0.xx as mmtool_a5.exe

There is also one caveat. Some BIOSes on Aptio 5 normally open only in MMTool v 5.0.0.7. (Mostly Asus)
If a replacement error occurs, the UBU will select a different version of MMTool if one is present.

@SoniX

I updated the LAN Intel with your files, but I have an older version

@tistou77

Oops! Sorry. The release will be 0.1.14.
At Intel LAN, only GE, XE and XE X550 were mainly updated.
For SL, nothing new.

348

@SoniX

No worries
Which file should be updated ?

349

@tistou77

‘Files\Intel\LAN’
> OBACL.* - Boot Ageny CL (0.1.13 -> 0.1.14 from 1.74.0.3)

350

Thanks @SoniX

Only OBACL.* must be uptated, then ?

351

@tistou77
OBACL.* does not need to be replaced. Leave the one that was in the main package of UBU.

352

Supplement for $345

Added new and updated microdes for AMD.

NOTE
Attention! It is important!
Before copying AMD microcodes,
delete the contents of the ‘Files\AMD\mCode’ folder in the UBU.



PS OBACL.* 0.1.14 return

353

Note for the release of UBU v1.74.0.4

I did not upgrade iGOP 9.0.1086 to 9.0.2001, as DrvVer update is required. So far I can’t build a new version of this utility. Sorry.

Edit/Add:
As soon as possible, I will immediately update it.

354

@SoniX

UT NE A56 is fairly broken so it would be best to stick to A55 for now.

355

@plutomaniac

Thanks. I returned all the utility version A55. Just in case.

356

@SoniX

In Files\intel\VROC_VMD, the VMDVROC_x files are not updated ?
I have files dating from May 1019 (December 2018 in UBU)

PS: no problem with UT NE A56 for me :slight_smile:

357

@tistou77

This is an example - what and in what form should be in this folder.

358

I just downloaded UBU 1.74.0.4 and tried to mod the beta BIOS 5.20A for an Asrock FM2A68M-HD+ (download link: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A68M-HD+/#BIOS). I also have copied AMI MMTool v5.0.0.7 (renamed as “mmtool_a4.exe”) to UBU’s folder. Right after choosing the Microcode menu option, I typed “F” for find and replace microcode. Now UBU shows this:

There is also another window from mmtool_a4.exe which only shows “Invalid FFS File”.
What may be wrong here?

359

@BlackArchon

Do you have the ability to restore BIOS?

360

What do you mean with “restore”? Since I couldn’t successfully mod the BIOS, I haven’t tried to flash it.
