Could you please help with providing a modified BIOS that I can flash on ASUS ZenBook Pro N501JW that is using the HM87 Intel Express chipset?

I have tried modifying the latest BISO N501JWAS.212 available from ASUS website, using the tools from this website (MMTool and UEFITool), but both times I am getting the error message that the modified BIOS file is not the same size.

When I try using fptw.exe program to flash the modified BIOS, I get the Error 26: The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area.

Attaching the FD.bin file created using fptw.exe

Your help is greatly appreciated.

First of all if u want to flash a MOD bios, the OEM (Asus) security issues have to be unlock for any kind of flash, besides a CH341 programmer…that u may still need.
Unlock it first, make a dump them with FPT, edit the dump file and then u can flash it back again by FPT.

As always theres a risk of breaking the system, that all users should be aware of.

By the way wots a 1Kb ZIP file for…

Yes MeatWar said right, you can use Intel Fpt tool only finding ME version and finding the CSME according to it here :

Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools

Then there are the eeprom protect issues and the EFI IFR doesn’t show notinng so USB CH341a + Climp Pomona.
