[Guide] Transfer of specific Intel OROM VBIOS and GOP VBT settings by using Intel BMP tool

SoniX · January 21, 2016, 7:03am

If transferred to version 2120 and above the hand.
Unfortunately, the description of settings and paremetrov not.

If the CPU microcode is the same as that of the desktop, the risk is minimized.

I think that is enough to set the desired CPU microcode.

Updated Collection Intel OROM in "VBIOS_and_BSF.rar":
added OROM VBIOS+BSF Skylake v1036
added OROM VBIOS+BSF Skylake/Kabyake v1037 (Thanx to Pacman. :))

hello everyone
I’m glad I’m back here again. I’ve found some older vbios. like ironlake, sandybridge, and new skylake series

vbios shows B1 00 (Version VBT) 00 11 ->11 00(Size VBT) 2179 (Version OROM)

on step 5, i couldn’t find bsf file of 2179, can only find bsf file of 2178 and 2180. can i use these instead

If you mean the Haswell VBIOS 2179 then look into the file in the video bios archive named “Table VBT OROM VBIOS Version and Size.docx”. You can even manually change to the Haswell/Broadwell VideoBios 1040 by copying the settings by hand with two BMP windows open, one for 2179 and one for 1040. I’ve done this on a Haswell Laptop and it works fine now with VideoBios 1040.

Maison1 · February 15, 2016, 11:10pm

Thanks SoniX for your Guide and the VideoBios archive. I have modded since then several Laptops.

I did a Haswell to Haswell/Broadwell VideoBios change on a MSI GP60 laptop.

gtishtar · February 16, 2016, 10:40am

on step 5. i try to use bsf file of 1040 instead, cuz i couldn’t find the folder contains bsf & dat file of 2179. onto step 10, when i apply transfer.ssf which is created on step 5 . it shows warning in BMP. if i hit "Yes", it just crush. any ideas?

You quoted my post but maybe did not understand it? Maybe then it is at the moment not the right time to start changing the Video Bios. You can put your Intel graphics hardware out of order.

Again: It is written in the file "Table VBT OROM VBIOS Version and Size.docx" when you have the Video Bios Version 2179 which Video Bios Version bsf file to use. I could write the number but you should read it yourself to understand the modding procedure. If you would go to Video Bios Version "2180 out of this two files a ssf file can be generated to apply automatically the settings from Video Bios 2179 to the Video Bios Version 2180.

Next I wrote that the settings from 2179 to 1040 need to be copied by hand. Does it mean that you use an automatic ssf settings file or not?

The aim is:

hi

i m trying to update my vbios
i cannot find info about the display toggle list

my version 2111 uses an old toggle list and display algorithm

how can i update these tables

this is my original
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List1 01 00 00 08 00 00 02 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

this is the new different table
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List1 01 09 08 02 05 04 0C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

i tried to update my table and now it is
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List1 01 08 02 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

i removed all the Reserved bits(or whatever they are), always 0
i removed the second bit in any line (left to right in ssf or right to left in intel BMP), always 00

my second table is
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List2 01 40 00 01 80 00 04 01 00 04 08 00 04 40 00 04 02 00 08 01 00 08 04 00

the new table is
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List2 01 09 08 02 05 04 0C 00

i removed the Reserved bits
TABLE $IVM_Toggle_List2 01 40 01 80 04 01 04 08 04 40 04 02 08 01 08 04

now what?
the first value is 4001, how can i turn this pair in a single value like the new table?

also how can i update the algorithm?
the first part is the same for every version and changes in update 2337
can i update this part with no risks?

my files attached

thanks

i successfully created a new config for my vbios and flashed the bios
now my version is 2170

this should be writtend in the vbios transfer guide:
if your current vbios uses an old display alghorithm, DON T update your algorithm and the toggle lists! (this may be wrong in some rare cases)
about new features not present in your current old vbios, disable THEM ALL and use the bsf file as guide, they will probably disappear when you “compile” the new config because your chipset does not support them.
If they do not disappear, this means they could work but not with your specific display/OEM setup, so just disable them.
about old features removed in the new update, seems fine to let them go, because they are moved to a new location with a new name or they are removed to fix issues

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded blank lines removed (to save space)

@kyl :
Since you referred within your last post about the topic "vbios update" to this thread, I have merged both threads and moved your 2 posts here.
This way SoniX as the author of the VBIOS transfer guide has a better chance to find your contributions and - if applicable - to customize the text of his guide.

RoadrunnerDB · March 20, 2016, 1:12am

@ SoniX

Is there an INTEL BMP version the Gen6 fully supported?
Can I download this somewhere?

rootuser123 · April 8, 2016, 4:58am

@RoadrunnerDB Do you mean for Skylake? I’ve updated my VBIOS using SoniX method and it works fine.

SoniX · April 8, 2016, 9:46am

Current BMP version 2.67 supported.
Only update ready VBIOS need through UEFITool.

Wootever · April 8, 2016, 10:55pm

Is the BMP Script File for Skylake VBT version CB/2.03 available?

SoniX · April 9, 2016, 12:12am

For GOP Driver SKL/KBL? Yes.
Attached VBT.BIN + VBT.BSF v2.03 for GOP Driver SKL/KBL v9.0.1039 and above.

Finally i was able to update skylake vbios to 1037, but the generated ssf file was larger than 30kb.

SoniX · April 10, 2016, 10:56am

Attach the original VBIOS, look.

jlmcr87 · April 10, 2016, 12:13pm

Attach the original VBIOS, look.

This is the original vbios. I open it with BMP and the skl_1033.bsf file. Then save all to transfer.ssf file wich is larger than 30kb. Why? I updated the bios even this file is larger and no problem.

The file is from the bios 1601, asus maximus hero VIII. Thanks for your attention.

@ jlmcr87
If the transfer settings were not error messages, and it works without problems, then all is well.
30 KB limit is not, there is an exception when the the settings file has reached the size of 70 KB.
