@tonz22 - No, I would not use that BIOS, it’s a different model, different BIOS, BIOS ID’s etc (it probably wouldn’t even let you if you tried).
Here is BIOS for P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT w/ NVME + All microcodes updated to latest, flash via USB Flashback only
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…255014088957052
@donaldjboyer - Sure, no problem, shoot me a PM about the gift if you want, and thank you I really appreciate it 
Same as below, you need to tell me what versions you want used for Intel RST
Do you want ME FW updated to latest in both, or only in the “With Spectre/Meltdown” microcode version?
@hiska - Thanks for report back, good to hear it’s been treating you well 
Unlocked FD I can do no problem, and usually do in BIOS anyway, but I don’t think flashback writes to the FD so you’d have to program in with programmer or unlock FD first via pinmod then flash FD with FPT.
I just checked, FD is unlocked in the BIOS you mentioned. MSR unlocked?? What does this mean to you, what MSR #?
orom vBIOS and EFI I can do, PXE + ASMedia too + ME FW yes, I can do for you
Intel RST, you need to research threads below and tell me what versions you want used (latest is not an answer here )
Sometimes you may find a matching version for both, other times you can’t, it’s OK and does not have to match
Intel EFI “RaidDriver” BIOS Modules
AHCI & RAID ROM Modules
You’re welcome, and thank you for taking the time to offer your appreciation
ME updated in both please. It’d be awesome if you could update all parts of the frimware, logos, NvME etc. Like an “Ultimate” version I guess.
Would appreciate two versions, one with Meltdown and Spectre protection, and one without.
Will PM you now
@donaldjboyer - Thanks, OK, will do! You need to tell me what RST versions you want used though, I can’t decide that, it’s up to you as the end user.
Links to both threads for those are in above post, in those threads you will find info on which are compatible with your board/chipset, which are suggested, which are latest etc
Logo’s?? 
I don’t have any logo images, you’d have to make something or find something you want in there, then I could replace default logo with your image of choice.
I will make one BIOS with NVME mod + Updated ME FW + all updated modules that we decide on, then make a copy of that and update microcode in it and leave the other one with original microcode (This where you get spectre/meltdown protection or not)
Thanks, I found the RST versions a bit confusing, but just leave them as the defaults or whatever you recommend for a Z77 board? How soon do you think you’d have a chance to take a look at this? 
@donaldjboyer - How about RST >> v13.1.0.2126
You do know, this is only used if you actually use RAID, otherwise never used at all. So, if you don’t use RAID we can leave default << Let me know
I can do this right now, and I would have done by now, but I was waiting for you to decide about what RST you wanted The time consuming part, aside from collecting all the needed updates, is updating the vBIOS.
While I do it all by hand manually, I’m used to doing all the other edits quickly as it’s just a swap out, but the vBIOS is an actual edit which takes some time, then swap… ME FW too, but not nearly as much
13.1.0.2126 sounds perfect thank you very much!! Yes I do use RAID.
Donald.
@donaldjboyer - Here is your mod BIOS
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…875053390090099
UBU used in images to show BIOS modules versions before/after. Flash via USB Flashback only (These built on stock BIOS, no FPT flashing!)
Flash BIOS, clear CMOS, boot to BIOS, load optimal default, save and exit, reboot DIRECTLY back to the BIOS to enable RAID, then save/reboot back to BIOS to make all other changes you need
1. NVME Mod
2. ME FW 8.1.2.1318 >> Update to >> 8.1.70.1590
3. EFI IRST RAID for SATA - 11.5.0.1582 >> 13.1.0.213
4. OROM IRST RAID for SATA- 11.0.0.1339 >> 13.1.0.213 w/ TRIM
5. EFI GOP Driver IvyBridge - 3.0.1012 >> EFI GOP Driver IvyBridge >> 3.0.1030
6. EFI GOP Driver SandyBridge - 2.0.1016 >> EFI GOP Driver SandyBridge >> 2.0.1024
7. OROM VBIOS SNB-IVB 2132 >> 2171
8. OROM Intel Boot Agent GE 1.3.81 >> 1.5.62
9. EFI Realtek UNDI 2.013 >> 2.050
10. OROM Realtek Boot Agent GE 2.43 >> 2.67
+ 1 BIOS with all latest microcode updates
1 BIOS without (= stock microcodes)
Thank you! Where can I look in bios to check the flash has worked correctly? Is there a version number somewhere I can check?
@donaldjboyer - If USB Flashback proceeded normally (flashing for 1+ minute before stopping), then it worked. You would be able to see the new RAID rom version in the Intel RAID manager, or maybe with the RAID software in windows (not sure)
With either BIOS, you could check ME FW version via HWINFO64 to see if ME FW was updated or not (I’m not sure if USB Flashback always or ever flashes ME FW)
With the microcode updated version, you would be able to see current/in-use microcode with HWINFO64 in the little CPU-z like window that shows up when you first run it.
If you need images of where to see either of those things I mentioned to check in HWFINO64 let me know and I will post you some examples.
@Lost_N_BIOS Can you please make a bios for p8z77v-deluxe with all updated microcodes like on post #77 + Intel RST -> v13.1.0.2126
Hello all,
First post here, but would like to start by saying, Big thanks for all your efforts for helping lesser skilled people like myselve.
You guys rock!!!
My problem:
I have a P8Z77 V Pro, I7-3770K, running on Samsung sata SSD’s , and am hoping to upgrade to NVME m2 WD Black 1TB SN750 by pcix4 adapter.
I am aware my mobo will cut down the PCI-E lane speed to 2* x*8, running a RTX2060 PCI-E slot 1 also I am running a GTX670 on the black lane slot 3 (x1 PCI-E speed)
(for those interested, I play DCS…Frames dropped from about 10 to 15 %)After installing the NVME PCI-E adapter, causing my GPU to run on only 8x lanes instead of 16x
I downloaded and used the bios from #122, flashed by flash-back… but the SSD doesn’t appear. The flash seems successful(flashback method)…done 2 flashbacks, *1st time to an older bios version 2103, then used this bios modded2104(post#122). In ASUSSuite I can see the new bios version, however the NVME ssd is not recognized by the mobo nor in windows diskmanagement.
@bfc_xxx - #77 re-pack with v13.1.0.2126 - Link Removed to avoid confusion in future << Null/Brick, do not use @ anyone! >> See post #147 for fixed/confirmed OK BIOS
@PacE - Thanks
Are you sure the NVME drive and adapter are both working, did you test in another board? Or in this board as a spare without BIOS mod?
You should see the NVME in device manager even without a BIOS mod, BIOS mod just lets you boot from it.
What operating system are you using?
Where are you sticking the NVME/Adapter, at middle x16 slot white?
2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8) *3
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) << This slot is x4, not x1 as you mentioned. For testing purposes, remove this GTX670 and see if you can then see NVME in Device Manager
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 *4
*3: PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation Core™ processors.
*4: The PCIe x1_2 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_E12. SATA6G_E12 is enabled by default for system resource optimization.
@bfc_xxx - Very sorry to hear! Did you USB Flashback it in?
I will check it and let you know if I see anything wrong 
I checked, and can’t see what would be wrong, so I just remade it again (maybe glitch, or bad rebuild etc?)
Link Removed to avoid confusion in future
If this one also fails, I may know the cause (@ replacing EFI RST, will redo other way if this one also fails)
@Lost_N_Bios Yes i used flashback to flash it.
I used #77 bios to recover the system.
Then i tried the latest mod but this one is not being flashed at all. Flashback reads and stops immediately.
@bfc_xxx - Hmmm! 
Thanks for info. Sorry about this! I will redo again tonight, I think I know the problem
* edit - @bfc_xxx - Please check, this one orom only first, so we can see if that is the issue or the EFI module, since I always do this one first
Link Removed to avoid confusion in future
Hi!! @Lost_N_BIOS this test bios is flashed by flashback and is working.
edit: forgot to say that I see now that my raid controller is v13.1.0.2126
Something weird I noticed these days and maybe will help others. I have my controller set to RAID. When I flashback the bios, my controller reverts to AHCI and boots normally (the boot disk in just a single drive). When I set again to RAID, windows do not boot and give me a BSOD. What I do to fix this, I leave the controller to AHCI, boot windows, uninstall RST drivers, set to reboot to safe mode minimal with msconfig, restart, go into bios and change to RAID, let windows to boot safe mode and set to boot normally with msconfig, restart. And then windows boot normally with controller set to RAID and install again RST.
I didn’t noticed this in the beggining and my RAID 1 broke because 1st disk changed too much.
@bfc_xxx - Thanks, this means the EFI Replacement is what was causing the issue. I will make you another to flash next which is one above + EFI replaced different way.
Sounds like you need to make this registry edit
Enable switching between all IDE/AHCI/RAID modes by changing “Start” Values in these keys to 0 in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start
How I would do BIOS reflash if I was running your setup, would be flash BIOS, boot to BIOS, load optimized defaults save and exit, reboot back to BIOS, enable RAID, save and exit, reboot back to BIOS and move my main non-RAID drive to the first in the hard disk boot priority list
Here, please test both if you don’t mind, let me know if both bootable, or one fails etc
Link Removed to avoid confusion in future
Once you confirm which is OK, I will repack info properly named folder for others to download.
@Lost_N_BIOS Both bios are flashed with flashback and both are bootable. I have now the one in folder 507.
As for the registry the values are as you mention but it doesn’t really matter. I just set to boot in safe mode before flashing and then it’s working fine.
@Lost_N_BIOS
Sorry I haven’t replied for ages, I’ve been learning how to use UBU updating the CPU microcode and viewing the different updated modules on few different modified P8Z77-V Pro bios’ floating around the net including yours.
I noticed every couple of months with a modified bios on the Asus P8Z77-V Pro, my PC would Boot to a Black Screen and not POST after a Reboot. The SSD (including different brands) would Security Lock (Freeze Lock) after the Power Reset.
For the SSD to be recognised again and POST on the Asus P8Z77-V Pro, I would have to install the Locked SSD into a different PC, boot into Linux and do Password Unlock and Secure Erase.
I was wondering if anyone has had issues with SSD’s Security Locking when using a Modified Bios with updated Disk Controller Modules for the Intel RST SATA EFI & OROM’S above stock version 11.x.x.xxxx on the Asus P8Z77-V Pro running with Windows 10.
I’ve tried
danielstuart14’s bios with Intel EFI & OROM 14.5.0.2241. - Problem Multiple Times
BOLTS4BREKFAST (R4E BIOS 4804 MODDED EFI) with Intel EFI & OROM 15.1.0.2545 - Problem Multiple Times
Asus-P8Z77-V-PRO-2104-NVME-Mod+uCodeUPD bios with Intel EFI & OROM 14.5.0.2241 - Problem Happened Once
It’s weird because I used 2 Different Asus P8Z77-V Pro’s, Different SSD’s and the SSD Security Lock will still randomly happen when using a Modified Bios.
