Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since you obviously had problems to get a modded AMI UEFI BIOS properly flashed, I have moved your post into this already existing thread. The Guide is within the first post.
By the way - the “device” named GDIX1001 is an ACPI one. You may find a driver [>here<].(ACPI\GDIX1001 download driver for Windows 10 x64 | DriverPack).
Good luck!

At least you can get rid of the following.
Just delete ReFlash dxe.

Thank you for solving it. (Booting is still slow, but it doesn’t matter) 
I have a modern motherboard ASUS B760M-A D4 without flashback usb port.
I can’t use flashrom’s -p internal since it can’t detect any eeprom.
So wonder what my options are?
Is it Intel FPT tool or ch341? Looks like the board have 2 bios chips so which one should i flash?
Where can I find Intel FPT tool for alderlake/raptorlake mb’s? Do not seem to find any download links.
Where?
Can be mistaken but i can only identify a GigaDevice SPI ic
This model should use Intel ME v16, usually the tool reads/dumps, writing is another issue… to read and understand the operations:

Within the start post of this thread you can find 2 other options (AFUWIN and AISuite methods).
You obviously have missed >this< thread.
P.S.: MeatWare was quicker than me. I am sorry for haven’t seen his reply earlier.

Thx for info,
I was wrong on BIOS. Have read through the posts you linked to.
Do I understand correctly that I need the exact CSME version to work on BIOS region with fptw? So if MB has 16.1.30.2307 I need to find this version of CSME to use fptw tool to modify bios region? Or will any 16.x version work when only modifying bios? Only part I really do not get.
16.1.30.2307 = Major.Minor.Hotfix.Build
The tool needs to be the Major.Minor. version
This is the preferable general rule for all SKU’s.
Careful with ME tools, they don’t care for wrong choice of cmds/syntax given, they write what is told too… correct or incorrect data.
Do several backups of the full SPI and separate regions, for safe keeping and store MB original data.

Hello again,
had a look at the chip which you marked and it’s a MXIC 25li2872f. Also found a soic8 chip abit above to the right of ram slot and it’s a MXIC 25v5126f.
Don’t know which of them is for BIOS
Wanted to make sure that I would be able to flashback using ch341 if software fails. Seems Asprogrammer has support for 25LI2873F which should work with 25LI2872F
I’m running an ASRock Z790 Nova and I’m trying to flash a modified bios to it. I’ve tried following the instructions for using Flashrom but I get an error of “no eeprom/flash detected” whenever I run it. Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe Flashrom cant identify (due to Outdated DB) such new mb and her SPI IC…
Have you at least identified it yourself?
EDIT: Dont know, maybe an CH341 SPI programmer or the SPI_TPM header, your mb is too new but you don’t seem to have enough knowledge of these things… do you?
What do you mean by identify? Is there anything else I can do here to flash this bios? I don’t have flashback (thanks for removing that, ASRock), scewin doesn’t work because of protected variables and instant flash doesn’t work for it.
I’m starting out in this space, just doing this for the sake of modifying bios to optimize my install for gaming and accessing hidden settings. SCEWIN had failed me because ASRock write protects runtime variables, I’m unable to just use instant flash, there’s no bios flashback, and I had the detection issue with flashrom running from a flash drive.
What were you saying regarding the SPI_TPM header? Is there some kind of method using that? I’m not at my house ATM but I’ll look for the bios chip and that when I get back
What did you expected??? Modern motherboards containing revised AMI Aptio V bios files and AMI Core bios security, prevents almost all bios mods (modified…) from being flashed by regular know/specific MB methods… welcome to mod world my friend…
Take a walk and read on the forum other users posts and you’ll find out that you’re not alone on this…
SPI_TPM header?
If even possible on this MB model…search…read, read a lot.
EDIT:
Could something like afuefi work
It shouldn’t, as its an AMI official flash tool, so…
Another method to try if you have any experience with the Intel ME tools package…and dont ask how, i dont have time for such background teaching:
[GUIDE] [UPDATE] Usage of AMI’s AptioV UEFI Editor + FPT Flash Method - BIOS/UEFI Modding / BIOS Modding Guides and Problems - Win-Raid Forum (level1techs.com)
This will only/can work if the access to bios regions is unlocked for writing:
[Guide] Unlock Intel Flash Descriptor Read/Write Access Permissions for SPI Servicing - Special Topics / Intel Management Engine - Win-Raid Forum (level1techs.com)
Thats it, nothing more to add, good luck.

Could something like afuefi work, or is that out of the question?
Edit: There is such a header, does it have any relevance to bios modding?
Ok, by this question… your a bit out of your league and don’t engage on this… we don’t want to see users with a death MB.

That’s valid, I’ll probably steer clear of it and just see if there’s anything I can change via scewin and avoid modding and risking any kind of damage lol
Edit:
Just for reference sake, chip is a Winbond 25Q256JVEQ
Datasheet W25Q256JV
I might actually try building the latest version of flashrom (1.3) on linux for DOS and trying to read again, since the newer version has some updates to it

Has anyone else compiled a version of flashrom 1.3 for DOS? I’ve been trying to compile this thing for over an hour but I’m quickly reaching the limits of my linux knowledge lol
Hi,
Since I don’t want to do anything stupid regarding the procedure for flashing the modified bios, I’m posting here for help.
I have an MSI Big Bang X-Power 2 motherboard.
I followed Fernando’s guide regarding adding the nvme module in bios.
So I have my bios modified with the same extension in .280 compared to the original.
To flash the modified bios if I understood correctly, I need to have a usb key formatted in fat32, which I copy and paste my modified bios onto the usb key (on the usb key there will only be the modified bios file) , I restart the PC, I enter the cm bios, I click on M-Flash, I click on “Select a file to update the BIOS”, I select my USB key, I select the modified bios which is on my USB key and finally I press enter.
Is the procedure good?
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Yes, the procedure is, general rule the proper method, as per the guide…
Now if trying to get some assurance that nothing will go wrong and the flash mod will have a 0% of failing… that my friend NO one can assure you… understood?
This is MOD world… Whoever takes this path must be prepared by any kind of results, success and failures and this is a user choice ONLY, not a forum or a user responsibility of further actions.
In your case, the MB model in question has dual bios, an advantage over other MBs/Users, this will give you a way to recover.
