What if it isn't AMI? Will it dump? Or other tools are needed?
I'm confused. intel2ami says it isn't AMI, yet bios backuptoolkit v2.0 says it is AMI, and backup is .rom file.

Hi All,

I've run into the issue of trying to RAID 3tb+ on an old Intel MSM option rom - which led me here. I've read for about 3 hours on this site, but feel I'm getting stuck. I'd like to add the latest ROM that would support the ability to create 3tb+ RAID1.

I have an intel server board s3200shv
bios here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gt8urowq080c2p...USDR15.zip?dl=0
or
bios here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product...-Board-S3200SHV

I determined the BIOS file was named R0052.cap (is this really the BIOS?)
I renamed to R0052.rom and opened in MMTool Aptio (4.5 and 5.0 both work)
I could not open the file with the UEFI Bios Updater tool (not a valid file)

I've attached a screenshot of the MMTool output, but can't really seem to find the options that are discussed on the site (look for "such and such" line or content in the output)


Any guidance would be appreciated, I have a number of these boards and it would really extend their usefulness if I could get this working. Alternatively, I would be happy if someone could mod the BIOS for me into that ZIP file and I could paypal some money to them. I think I could just flash it using the Intel Deployment Assistant hopefully.

Thanks!
Mark

Hello guys,

Can anyone tell me its possible to convert intel *.bio bios file to to *.bin for DX79SR motherboard?


Thank you

It's any chance to unbrick my Intel DH87RL motherboard? Recovery mode doesn't work. Board was incorrectly flashed, I have SPI programmer, but I don't have backuped ROM file.

I have an Intel DH77DF and stumbled upon this. Was brainstorming about the .BIO signature check. There is an official tool by Intel called ITK (Integrator Toolkit), which is EoL since end of 2015 (successor is planned though). It allows editing the .BIO file for a wide variety of Intel boards, like changing boot splash image, SMBIOS information and BIOS configuration.

Not sure, how ITK edits / signs / validates the .BIO files, but it's a Windows application, which can be examined (and tricked) using debuggers. If anyone's still interested in editing .BIO files, this might be worth looking into.

Hi, everybody. Maybe somebody knows answer? Is there any way to backup BIOS on working Intel motherboard? I tried BIOS backup tool - it fails, it gives wrong file. Can You advice any other program? It will be very useful - then before making any changes in BIOS I can backup it normally and flash with CH341A if bricking.

Hi

I have got a DG31PR Motherboard it was running a Intel Core2 Duo E6600 but I have now brought a Intel Xeon X5450. I have plugged the Processor in and turned the computer on and it does detect the processor in the bios but Windows will not boot I have also tried to reinstall Windows but that wont boot I am currently running the latest version of the bios https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...te-PRG3110H-86A- So my question is how can I update the microcodes of the .bio file as I am having no luck I have been at it for a couple of days now and can`t figure it out I have tried MMTool Aptio but the "insert patch data" is greyed out.

Is anyone able to tell me how I can add the microcode for the X5450 or has anyone got a .bio file for the DG31PR with the microcode on I can use.

Thanks

Since Intel has spent much energy to prevent, that the users themselves are able to modify the BIOS of their mainboards, my advice is: Ask Intel for the solution of your problem!

So there is no way I can do what I want?

You can try it, but it will be difficult and we cannot help you.
