[Discussion] UBU Tool related Questions/Reports/Suggestions

SoniX, I don’t know if this is a bug …



Realtek EFI UNDI isn’t recognized when being 0.00A



It is recognized in an older version. I had to update it like that last time. First time I’ve encountered this.

@Punkster_Sanders

Not really a bug.
Version 0.00A is the very first, almost alpha version.
In new versions of UBU, the search string for new versions of EFI RTK has been changed.

Send me the BIOS or EFI Realtek version 0.00A. I will see what common signatures can be selected for all versions.

PM sent with link to BIOS file.

@SoniX
Small typo in UBU.bat v1.76.2.5

if exist mmtool.exe (
if %aa%==4 if not exist mmtool_a4.exe findhex 35002E00300030002E003000300030003700 mmtool.exe>nul && move /y mmtool.exe mmtool_a4.exe>nul && goto check_mmt
ff %aa%==5 if not exist mmtool_a5.exe findhex 35002E00300032002E0030003000 mmtool.exe>nul && move /y mmtool.exe mmtool_a5.exe>nul && goto check_mmt

should be:
if exist mmtool.exe (
if %aa%==4 if not exist mmtool_a4.exe findhex 35002E00300030002E003000300030003700 mmtool.exe>nul && move /y mmtool.exe mmtool_a4.exe>nul && goto check_mmt
if %aa%==5 if not exist mmtool_a5.exe findhex 35002E00300032002E0030003000 mmtool.exe>nul && move /y mmtool.exe mmtool_a5.exe>nul && goto check_mmt

thanks for your work!

Can I directly extract ORM VBIOS( hsw-bdw: 1044) of Gigabyte ga-z97x-gaming 7 BIOS modified by others([OFFER] Gigabyte GA-97X-Gaming 7 beta bios (F9b) mod) and put it into ubu folder to update my Gigabyte z97x-ud3h? Thanks.

Hello there. I was wondering how I am supposed to find the correct drivers for my CPU. I currently have a 6700k but want to make a customs bios which will help me get that chip onto a z390 dark. I have attached a screenshot below of what my "UBU" looks like. Thanks a lot for this btw! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi folks!
I have tried to update microcodes and got an error. How to fix it and pass?

R - Start replacement
0 - Cancel
Choice:r
[Preparing for replacement]
BIOS file backup
[Replacement]
mCode FFS: reconstructVolume: root volume can’t be grown
Error ☼
BIOS file restored
Press any key to continue . . .

EDIT: OK, I found it means there is not enough space for update microcodes. I have removed one of four and it passed.


You can extract OROM VBIOS using MMTool. But for each model of the motherboard, its own settings are used.

UBU works on AsRock Z390 Extreme 4 ?


Edit:

Ok i flash modded bios and its works.

Hi, I am getting the message "pe32 image with invalid dos signature" when replacing modules yet they get replaced, any problems???

Windows Defender detects a trojan in MCE.exe in this release.

@kathampy :
This is a wellknown false alarm. By the way: The Windows Defender of my OS (latest Win10 Build) doesn’t give me a warning message.

It never detected previous versions for me. I’ll whitelist it. Thanks.

Maybe it was commented before, but the "pe32 image with invalid DOS signature" is not problematic, is it??? Guess it comes from UEFITool.

@Fernando @SoniX

@vmanuelgm :
Which tool gives you the "pe32 image with invalid DOS signature" message while opening which BIOS file?

@Fernando
UBU.bat when replacing lan or raid modules. But I guess UEFITool is the culprit and UBU is just posting the error.

Thanks.

EDIT by Fernando: Inserted picture resized to save space (can be enlarged by clicking onto it)

@vmanuelgm :
These UBU messages have been created by the UEFITool and indicate neither an UBU nor an UEFITool issue.
As long as the UEFITool gives the related messages even while checking/modifying the original BIOS, there is nothing to worry about for the UBU and UEFITool users.

@SoniX Updating microcode with the "Start Replacement" option results in a boot loop with post code EE on my EVGA X299 Dark. Only the "Start Replacement Alternative" option works.

The Change Logo utility also no longer works on the latest X299 Dark BIOS, but it worked on older versions.

@Fernando The "Optane Memory and Storage Management" application does not work on the EVGA X299 Dark which comes with RST v16.0 modules in the BIOS, but it works on my MSI X299 Creation that comes with RST v17.7 in the BIOS.

What happens after having updated the Intel RST RAID BIOS module(s) of the EVGA mainboard and what has your statement to do with the UBU tool?
