My warmest thanks for your skills applied to this motherboard, so glad to find people able to mod this abandoned BIOS ! Struggling with TPM2.0 support, has any of you guys managed to successfully include the supporting module for it ? Some manufacturers made specific BIOS updates to replace 1.2 with 2.0 support IIRC. This MB natively works with TPM1.2 (additional module which I had), however, I found no way to use my new TPM2.0 add-on module. It is working from a hardware perspective, as I could successfully upgrade its firmware, however the current BIOS (even your modded version) won’t let me use it afterwards. Any chance that this could made easily ? I’d be glad to reward to efforts.
I installed a gigabyte tpm 2.0 on the tpm socket, the module is succesfully detected by bios i can set tpm device to enabled and tpm state also. For soms reason Windows dont detect the tpm. Also tried updating firmware. Tried the powershell tpm commands.i spent much time on this particular issue, happy to finally see a massage of this because i couldnt figure out where this problem is coming from. I gave up and was thinking that the gigabyte module was not compatible, i never have been into the bios modding community but this site have so much clear tuts i will try to mod this bios, ps anyone have problem with this mobo suddenly losing Intel ME firmware?
Have you applied the above modded BIOS from Voron00 ? Sorry I can’t help for the Intel ME environment. Back to my TPM2.0 question: seems like this is not possible. At all. However I remember having read another forum’s thread in which Asrock was providing a custom BIOS including TPMv2.0 for a Z97-based motherboard. So sorry this will never happen with Asus.
Anyway, thanks all for your awesome job supporting this abandoned BIOS !
I want to install Macintosh Catalina or BigSur but i read on the internet that there might be a problem with the NVRAM after update 2XXX? i tried to flash the old NVRAM capsule in your modded bios, but to be fair i don’t know what i am doing… if there wasn’t a bios flashback button this would be the 7th mobo i destroyed by flashing without knowledge. could someone check the latest attached 3503 if the broken NVRAM due to a missing bit ( what i have heard ) is fixed.
@Lost_N_BIOS Perhaps you could help me, as you’ve helped me before back on the InsideH2O bios on the Aspire 5741.
I now own this crappy mobo as well and just run the latest official bios release. I figured out that some of these updates (I suspect microcode) break stuff such as overclocking (see here).
My question is not related to that, but I would like to know if it’s possible to add 1920x1080 resolution support (for the dGPU, I heard that iGPU should support 1080p out, but I didn’t test) in the bios/UEFI. My GA-Z97X SLI had that, which makes the boot logo look a lot better, the UEFI bios look more crisp and clean and rEFInd bootloader can then also look good.
Sry, no time for this kind of mods and i dont waste time on it, look on forum for the use of IFRextractor and RU tool, you may use AMIBCP5.x to see the strings, ONLY to see, modern AMI V bioses break if mod with this tool.
@voron00 Is it possible for you to update the bios one more time and also inject ReBarUEFI?
I’ve tried to do it via UEFITool, but it breaks overclocking (the same way by updating the bios with UBUTool). See the issue here and here. Rebar itself is reported working via CPUz.
I have to add to this, the modded bios from 2019 doesn’t seem to flash via the usb recovery method. The indicator light stays on and nothing happens. In EZ Flash the bios is rejected.
