Hi,Fernando,I'm from China.I think maybe I can help u guys.I had update my mobo's(which is a Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H rev.1.0) AHCI rom & RAID rom successfully!

TOOLS U NEED:winhex,cbrom1.55(latest versions will try to fix minit automatically,which will cause trouble,so we use 1.55),cbrom198,modfix.exe

As u know,mod Gigabyte's Award bios will change the location of "meminit.bin" or "ppminit.rom" module in bios.So i read this method from bbs.bios.net.cn and the pdf.We could creat a "fake" module,whose size is exactly same as the original AHCI or LOM module,then we can insert it into the same place in bios like before.Bang,we are done.

now follow me:

1.use cbrom198 to see the detail of official bios."cbrom198 88GUD2.F8 /d" write down the "compressed-size" of the module u want to update.In my case,the AHCI.bin's value of "compressed-size" is "03382h".it's a hex number.Then we use modfix.exe to creat a "fake" module which size is 3382.i named the "fake" module "SL.bin".

2.use cbrom155 insert ahci.bin or any rom else u want to into official bios file.use command like "cbrom155 88GUD2.F8 /pci AHCI.bin".then use "cbrom198 88GUD2.F8 /d"to see if insert correctly.now u will find that the rom u inserted before has been moved to the end of the bios,precisely,behind the "meminit.bin".

3.use cbrom155 insert SL.bin.CAUTION HERE!USE COMMAND LIKE "cbrom155 88GUD2.F8 /oem4 SL.bin"(u can easily find that there are many oem code holes in bios,like oem3,oem4......oem6).

4.in order to make sure the "meminit.bin" module doesn't move at all,we must move the "fake" module from the end of bios to the place where the original "AHCI.bin" was.And we know that every module in an award bios begains with "??-lh-?-...file name..."so we use winhex open the modified bios.Search for the name of "fake" module,here we use "SL.bin".Before the file name,u can find a string like "??-lh0-",right click on the first "?",choose "begainning of block",then use "go to offset"(new position:3382 (bytes),relative to current position),mark the byte before the byte u "go to"(jump to) as "end of block",then cut the whole block.

5.search for "AHCI.dll",paste the block before the "AHCI.dll" module(==the byte before "??-lh0-?-...file name...").Save file.

6.use cbrom198 to verify the bios modification.if everything did right,u should see the "fake" module (has the same size of the module be replaced)in the same place that the original module was.

7.now use Qflash.shouldn't see the "invalid" error message any more.

8.enjoy~~


my english is really poor,if u guys have further questions,u could pm me,or send email to shanliang2009@msn.cn.
i could upload some pics if u need.

@ aaaaaa889:

I have a question if i use the hole oem6 in the BIOS 88gmud2h.F8 to put the fake file, i notice that it will reemplace the file RS880g_h.bin, this is good o bad..

EDIT
Sorry but i am lost in the point 4 about position, go to, "u", etc..

thank u,Fernando.Without your great thread of "AHCI/RAID ROM modules for BIOS modding - already extracted" and "BIOS-Modding: How to update PCI ROM modules of an AMI/Phoenix/Award BIOS" posts,i wouldn't be able to mod AHCI in the first place.Anyway,i myself didn't invent this method,i learned it from a forum,called "Home of BIOS",@bbs.bios.net.cn.i will translate their useful articles and tools to help u guys.After all,we are all learning.

@ aaaaaa889

Thanks for your work aaaaaa889, i made some test but i have some problems selecting where it starts the files and where it ends. And i have troubles where to paste the selection, because the modifications doesn't appears when you use cbrom to see the changes on the BIOS, there are some files missing, instead of 23 files i only see 14 files and i don't understand where i paste the rest of the files on the BIOS.

see pics blow:

It works @Fernado, thanks @aaaaaa889 and you to @Fernando. I update de ahci module with the version 2012...
@aaaaaa889, can you tell me how did you update the RAID modules because you need the RAID module + MISC module?, because de misc module is in <SP> HOLE2 and what other oem can i use?.

EDIT
BIOS Modding Results
Vendor and exact Name of the mainboard/pc/notebook = Gigabyte 880gm-ud2h, PC
System Type (MB=mainboard, PC=personal computer, NB=notebook, BB=barbone) = MB
Chipset and Southbridge of the system = SB700
Vendor, Sort and Version of the inserted PCI ROM or EFI module = AMD AHCI ROM v3.1.2.0
Success: Yes or No = YES
optional: No problems

@Fernando

If you download the file that contains the image form @aaaaaa889, its doesn't mather how the symbols look like [??-lh0-] o [!Ö-lh0-], both are the same. My where slightly different, but you can compare it with the hex address becuase it have to be the same from the image.

EDIT
@aaaaaa889, when you have time can you explain how did you modified both the raid modules?, please.

1.yes,i know I'm using a Chinese version of cbrom155,but all English version I found requires Administrator permissions(UAC warning),so I choose the Chinese version to demonstrate,sorry.
2.the "?" stands for a single letter(or char),it could be any ASCII char.so the "?" is what we called "asterisk wildcard"(translate by google).Actually,i found that in "fake" module I created,it always begains with a hex "21" and "!Ö",which u can easily found.
3.i'm busy doing my job recently,so if u want to do anything with my post and pics,that's all right,just do it.i have no problem with that.i'm just happy enough that I could do something useful for other people.i learned everything I know from the internet,so I think share is great,right?
4.i was trying to mod my Dell OptiPlex 390's bios,update the AHCI and RAID rom,but I don't know how to do that.if u guys know something about that,please tell me.thanks a lot~~
