[TOOL] Easy automated Mod tool for Coffee Lake bios

i use every program here, including coffeemod, ubu, and MMTool, and guides revolving around this forum. just doing stuff back and forth (i dont do everything automatically)

Did everything function as it is? like Lan, rgb, bios settings, everything? also the mcode i took from platomav github, should to be the latest if there is any update. yep i update the orom, gop vbt, and efi gop.

if you didnt mind, and if your boot drive is on GPT, could you test with these:
CSM Disabled, Above 4G Decoding enabled with Clever Access Memory or Resizable Memory enabled, iGPU enabled with Multi Monitor enabled and see if both your gpu and the igpu would work?

Sure, I can test, but the first issue I encountered was the PCI-E x16 and the x8 not working, and the PCI-E x1 working fine the 2 first (bottom one didnā€™t work), the first nvme works fine, the bottom I didnā€™t test, as of right now I can only test the CSM Disabled, strange thing is that the PCI-E patch in CoffeeTime isnā€™t avaliable to patch in the latest bios version, maybe I have to use the bios version 4.10, this version it appears to patch the PCI-E in CoffeeTime, but then the Clever Access Memory isnā€™t available for me to test

I did it, itā€™s now working fine with the bios v4.10, I extracted the microcode from your bios (I tried downloaded the latest microcode from platomav github but it didnā€™t work), I also downloaded the updated GOP Driver (if you need just drop inside the CoffeeTime v0.99 folder, the files name are the original, but the files are updated, so just replace)
Updated Microcode+GOP Driver.rar (1.7 MB)
now the graphics card works just fine, I flashed the bios using the CH341A, you need to do the 3.3v mod to work safely 3.3V CH341a Signal Output Modification and then use this diagram to connect the CH341A, thanks to this topic: Winraid Topic


I will now do the tests you asked

okay, the reason i use beta bios 4.21 is because it adds Resizable Bar option a.k.a Clever Access Memory so that if you do have a gpu that capable of it, you could use it without bios mods for rebar, so yeah wonder any reason to use 4.10 XD

The only reason to use the 4.10 was the graphics card, with other bios the gpu didnā€™t work, if you can somehow patch the PCIe in the newer version I can test, my boot drive is GPT, and right now I tested the ā€œAbove 4G Decoding enableā€ (not sure what it does), and enable iGPU then I connected 1 monitor in the display port on GPU and another hdmi in the motherboard, both work fine in windows, and the iGPU shows up in task manager

whats the gpu?

There is no communication on the PCI-e x16, I tested 1 amd gpu, 1 nvidia, I tested a PCI-e x1 to nvme, wifi card, none of them worked, thatā€™s because the lacking of the PCI-e patching, and every one worked on the motherboard PCI-e x1

Could you link me to the post or thread that discuss about this?

I didnā€™t read it online, itā€™s explained in the CoffeeTime, meaning if you donā€™t apply the PCIe patch the x16 wonā€™t work (because itā€™s required for coffelake cpus)

maybe @dsanke or @svarmod could help with this

for i9-9980hk what ME version is the minimum for Z170 to work? Is it the same as for the xeon mobile chips?

11.8 COR cut. here if you want the latest cor cut (11.8.92 from @svarmod) : ME_11.8.92.4249_COR_CLEAN.bin ā€” ŠÆŠ½Š“ŠµŠŗсĀ Š”ŠøсŠŗ

must be disabled once you replace the me in order to boot with mutant cpus.

I was hoping that I would be be able to enable the TPM - therefore having a working ME firmware.
Is that a lost cause with mutant CPUs?
I donā€™t have a xeon CPU, I have a i9-9880hk cpu.

with the latest me 11.8 or 7 wether its cut or stock, usually it wont let mutant cpus to boot, if you want ME to work normally then use a normal cfl/r cpu and pin mod it, hence it could run on me 11.7 con normally .

A post was merged into an existing topic: [GUIDE] Coffee Lake CPUs on Skylake and Kaby Lake motherboards

Does anyone have this tool to share, please?

Round the net I see posts with HP modded BIOS and some saying you cannot mod them as they are locked. Is it possible?

I dont have box yet but looking at HP ProDesk 800 G3 Mini (aka DM model) which does have models with KabyLake.

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp148001-148500/sp148045.exe for BIOS download but the file wont load into tool
