[Tool] EFIFlash v0.80/v0.85/v0.87 for Gigabyte Mainboards

@acseyang Hi and welcome to Win-Raid forums.

As you have not tagged anyone or mentioned any names I am not sure who your comment to directed at.

The EFIflash links are in the first post and I have now uploaded all EFIflash versions to this MEGA folder.

Currently there are no tools for ME 16 (if that is what you are asking).

The problem I encountered was as follows.
After getting a completed BIOS update screen after launching efiflash with the needed version, the BIOS version didnt change at all after checking after the first reboot. There too were no reboot time that took more than one reboot to return to a boot from my normal drive.

What were the differences between the firmwares?

If you mean the BIOS Version then i tried to Update from F23 with EOMID to a F24 comercial. Because my retailer i bought the PC from may have used custom Gigabyte Mainboards but thats Not so likely, i Just wanna Test Out ever Software option i got.

This is an older thread with rather low activity about a tool that doesn’t seem to work for very new boards according to chinobinos post from february.

So to get a constructive answer it might have been useful to provide some more details like tool- version used, system used, commandline used, type of board, type of ‘custom’ gb board, maybe even a screenshot of the process, maybe add link(s) to actual firmware and firmware that’s to be flashed?

EOMID?

Otherwise maybe:

Good luck

I have a b660m motherboard. I tried to flash the bios uding the modded one, but it gets stuck after the transfer success line. It does not touch the flash itself.

Try the fpt method from your SKU ME engine. ME FW 16 if not mistaken

Hello. I have very strange problem with flashing my motherboard Gigabyte AX370M-DS3H which is branded with TERRA logo. There is F23 BIOS. And now: Q-flash giving Oemid Mismatch error. So I tried 4 versions of moded efiflash, I tried flash F23 (this have older date than installed on motherbord), F24, F31 and finally the newest F51m. The flashing seems to be successful. Always reads the Bios file, writes, verifies, restarts, but i have still F23 bios with TERRA logo. Any sugestions?

@erni123321 Hi and welcome to Win-Raid forums.

For your OEM AMD chipset you may need to use a different tool such as Flashrom.

As I do not own any AMD motherboards I can’t test this - if you can’t recover from a bad BIOS flash it might not be worth the risk.

I have a Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC and I am using the Efiflash_v0.87_DOS_Mod but for some reason it wont complete the “Transferring Bios Data” and it does not reboot automatically. When I reboot manually the bios has not changed.
If I use the original Efiflash with an original bios file it works fine but I cant use my modified bios. I have tried all of the different modified versions of Efiflash.
Any idea why it is not working or what I can do instead?

@SteveW Gigabyte has implemented new security for the B550M DS3H AC BIOS as of F14.

Once you have flashed any capsule BIOS you cannot downgrade or flash a modified BIOS using Q-Flash or EFIFlash.

As I mentioned in the post above, you could try Flashrom - other than that you will likely need a hardware programmer.
