Anyone interested in removing the newest ASRock protection, as described in the post above? I have a general idea on what to patch, but I will need some brave volunteers. There are some caveats, however:
- if you are a volunteer, there is no guarantee on the safety of your board. I might find a solution, or I might serve you a “well done” board-steak.
- it will not work like the previous patch. It will be a two-step solution: first (one-time) you have to flash a patched image with Intel FPT, then you can flash any modded image with Instant Flash.
- the patch can be added to UBU, but it will have to be applied on every modded image. A vanilla (non-patched) Instant Flash module will lock your BIOS again.
- basically, it will patch the Instant Flash module found on the BIOS to ignore the signature fail. As long as a patched module is on the BIOS chip itself, you can flash any image.
- there is no time estimation on when the patch will be offered. I have a general idea on the patch, but I haven’t really narrowed it down to the final bytes. Maybe a few days or a week, if I’m in the mood and my schedule is available.
