Hello Fernando

I and confused on flashing the mod BIOS.

You start by saying;

  • Copy the original (untouched) capsuled BIOS file into the same directory as the file AFUDOS.exe respectively AFUWINx64.exe.

  • Flash the original BIOS by running the following Command Prompt (as Admin):
    afudos.exe <NAME OF THE ORIGINAL BIOS>.CAP
    or
    afuwinx64.exe <NAME OF THE ORIGINAL BIOS>.CAP

That would be my original bios file. “afuwin64.exe M5A97-LE-R20-ASUS-2701.CAP”

You then say;

Remove the capsule header from the modded *.CAP BIOS file and save the modded BIOS as *.ROM file.

I am confused by what has to happen here?

A CAPsulated file is 8194kb, the .ROM file is 8192kb, exactly as it is on your previously shared files, that i checked before, so the files are correct and as i said before the mod is done correctly.

Now flash the damm thing AGAIN, shutdown, AC off 5m, power on, run AFUWIN and make a backup, share it here to check if indeed the system was flashed and have now the mod file in it.
