You need to install a new offset for FIT, I will add this fix to the mCodeFIT later, but for now you can do it yourself using the hex editor.
So. Open the BIOS image in the hex editor. Find "FIT" and see offset
Offset == 0xDD3480 We look at the end of the BIOS image with an offset - 0x40.
Offset 0xFFFFC0 == 80 34 DD This value will need to be corrected after BIOS modification.
After modding open BIOS Image and find "FIT"
We see that the offset has changed and == 0xDD1100 This new value should be written down at the end of the BIOS image. That is: Offset 0xFFFFC0 != 80 34 DD -> 00 11 DD
MMTool 5.0.0.7 is optimal for both Aptio 4 and V platforms.But you can use any version of MMTool. Let me remind you that MMTool is needed only for AMI BIOS in 2 sluyayah: - replacement of OROM on Aptio 4 - replacement of microcodes on Aptio 4 and V, but not always.
Is it possible to make version of UBU that have already inserted latest INTEL RSTe updates. So this way tool is more user frendly to update bios without any knowlage where to put files in which folder… If this is possible i will like to ask for download link - my main goal is just update old bios .
It is possible, but it is not compatible for various Intel RST/RSTe/VROC. If I add the latest versions of the IRST/IRSTe/VROC files, users of early motherboard models will not be able to use them due to incompatibility.
And then. Newer versions are not always better than previous ones.
And more recently. The package already gives users a mindless update of files. And sometimes it is necessary and useful to think.
OK i get it. Main reason was to update old, or early models of bios (aptio 4). So i was hoping to get version that uses “safe” updates (not recent) as in one download link. There was old version UBU_v1_69_11_fix which has already some files inside to update and it was great for “mindless” update
For a notebook, I see no reason to update the IRST. I do not think that the RAID array will be assembled on it. For x99, if you plan to use RAID, then it is better to consult with those who already use this function. And pick the best version of files. See links in ubu_abt.mht
On the homepage of the UBU downloads there is an archive with different versions of IRST/IRSTe/VROC. Already with the necessary names and folders.
Yes, python’s regex is very strong and feature-rich so you can’t replicate that at UEFIFind. I see you did come up with some pattern which works with UEFIFind. If you still can’t make it work, maybe we could ask MCE to give you the offsets of each microcode and then work with that? If you need any help, let me know.
Bios v910 updated (w/UBU 1.71.1) my Ivy Bridge microcode from 0x20 to the new 0x21 (cpu306A9_plat12_ver00000021_2019-02-13_PRD_A8DF9213.bin). All went fine and work flawlessly now, didn’t saw any lower performances yet
Hello guys ! I tried to update an Asus bios of (z97-p) which is a .cap bios. After finishing and ubu tool recreating the .cap file when i tried to flash it the bios said this is not a valid bios file. I have uploaded both original and modded bios.
@ektorasdj : You cannot flash a modified capsuled ASUS BIOS by using the EZ tool (even if the modification has been done absolutely correctly). Please have a look into the start post of >this< thread.
I checked the modified BIOS I modified using latest UBUTool and newest MMTool and the fit was still wrong. I fixed it using your instructions, flashed the BIOS and it worked perfectly!!
