Asus Maximus VIII Hero 1701 don’t work for me :frowning: Not proper bios in EZFlash :frowning:

@yenclas :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

If you want to flash a modded ASUS mainboard BIOS, you have to use the USB Flashback feature.
Good luck!

Would it be possible to make similar ones for ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger motherboard?

Wow that was super fast! Thank you so much!

neat man! that was quick haha

greatly appreciated man,

M8I_1701_MOD.zip is Impact

thats not it.

When you enter the BIOS and check Iintel network inside the bios you will find that
WOL box shows that its unvailible

so it says N/A for the Wake-On-Lan box.
Even if i set the settings in windows device manager it wont work

Okay I flashed this but my ethernet stopped working. It gives me Code 10 (Device cannot start) in device manager.

The device is Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V

Try to reflash the original (not modded) one. It could be the MEI firmware or the LAN option ROM.


No it didn’t work. The MEI Firmware stays always the same new one. Is there any way to downgrade it? :frowning:

Try the attached file, I’ve added flasher, original Asus MEI Firmware and .bat files to force flasher.

If it does not downgrade, the only thing you can do is to use an external SPI Flash Eeprom programmer for reflash the whole bios image.

Tried it, it gave me this:

Error 8758: The image provided is not supported by the platform

Try this alternative FPT flasher.

If it reports Error 26, then you’ve the Descriptor Region locked and you can downgrade only using an external EEprom SPI Flash programmer.

Hey @Sylar76 ! Wanted to say thank you for modded BIOS for M8H! Just flashed without any issues.
Do i actually have to clear CMOS after flashing modded BIOS?



Okay now it said:

Error 451: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area. To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region. FPT Operation Failed.

Doesn’t look good.
