You may have to try several different BIOS modding tool versions (e.g. MMTool Aptio 5.00.0007 or MMTool Aptio 5.02.0024 Mod, both work with AMI Aptio IV BIOSes). You will find them after having read and followed the āsearchā tip within the start post chapter āThis is what you need:ā.
Good luck!

Thanks for your work.
I succeeded mod HP ENVY H8-1400ef Intel Z75 by adding NvmExpressDxe_5.ffs but need to correct checksum for flash it with Safuwin.exe .
I cannot find any answer in the special topic linked.
Thereās utility for correct it?
Edit : now it report FSS = Ok butā¦ incorrect bios for the system
SAFUWIN BIOSFILE /p /b /c /x or Intel ME8 FPT tool mod only bios region.
Theres a bios recover jumper but you should be prepared for any failures/brick motherboard playing with bios mods.
Doesnt existā¦ rigth.
Who told to use Intel ME FW update tool?, i said Intel FPT tool. Details is what kills you.
This is making a dump of the bios on the system (Save/Backup), then just bios region, mod it and flash it again with FPT.
Already saved itā¦ and did you tried flash the mod with the programmer? Or it doesnt even boot after it?
Open your eyes nex timeā¦to see more folders.
What do you see as tool in the post you are linkingā¦ FWUpdLcl64 OR fptw64
All this time and the board has FDO jumperā¦ I see a RECOVER jumper and CMOS/PASS jumpers, thats just fxxxx great.
Curiousā¦ that your desktop model has by default a IPMMB-FM motherboard with no FDO jumperā¦ nothing to do with an (Pro 3520 AIO) IPISB-AB motherboard ( * 1x FDO (HAD-SDO) BT23 jumper)
Many thanksā¦finaly used mmtool_v5.00.0007
Think i get it.
Just was wondering, should size of the modded bios be bigger than the original? My sourced Bios and modded have same sizeā¦
Anyway, will continue to compare these before first attempt, but pad-file still there
Hello. I successfully modded and tested 2 bioses following this guide with an NVME drive, for Gigabyte B75 Pro3 and a Packard Bell, I am new here, I would like to post the files here for other people, how can I do that?
Thanks.

I cannot thank you guys enough for this. This took an aging, unsupported QNAP TS-470 Pro from 2014 and helped me turn it into a Proxmox/File Server/Docker powerhouse. The trick was actually getting my hands on the BIOS file since QNAP does everything in their power to avoid giving it to you, so I found one for its bigger brother on a forum (the TS-670 Pro) since it uses pretty much the same mainboard.
Not only was I able to give my QNAP NVME support, but I also used the āUEFI BIOS Updaterā to successfully update other UEFI modules on by device. If anyone is doing something similar, I posted my file on the forum Fernando linked above.
Hi, I did the visual inspection and I seem to be missing a āPad-fileā, I followed well the instructions of this guide and also I did it with AMIās MMTool 4.50.0023 and even with AMIās MMTool 5.02 Modded.
I want to add that I had to use the āNvmExpressDxe_Small.ffsā as āInsert Compressedā.
What can I do in this case?
Can someone help me to patch it correctly? Bios gigabyte page
I had no luck, files disappeared anyway, but I just tried with a previous version of the bios F10 (The one in the image, the recent one, it is F11), and it seems to work fine with the MMTool method
Is this possible that type of problem?? I have already compared it manually and it seems that everything is in order, just added the nvme.
Is it safe to flash? The F10 patched has their āPad-fileā in place
@daniel1
I had no problem to get the uncompressed file named NvmExpressDxe_5.ffs properly inserted into the F11 BIOS by using the UEFITool v0.28.0. None of the originally present Pad-files were touched and no Pad-files were added.
