I just went to MSI to check their forum, and found some program called "Intel FPT", where FPT (NOT FTP!!) stands for "Flash Programming Tool". I played around a bit, but I think it programs Intel EFI BIOS "on-the-fly", so I don't want to play too much, before my system dies. I don't have THIS MUCH knowledge regarding BIOS. ;-)
Run the tool with argument "/?" to get usage examples.
Would it be possible with that tool to insert new ROMs into Intels EFI BIOSes? I like to get an RST OROM into my DX79TO BIOS, but atm. this still is not possible, as far as I know.
Thank you for the info and the links. I will check the tool, when I will have the time to do it.

Although I don't know it for sure, I doubt, that it will work with Intel's .BIO files.

It is NOT for the BIOS files themself, it is for modding the onboard-present BIOS. I did some SLIC modding (I think you know what I mean) in the past with my board (it is genuine Intel) and I found out, there are indeed no tools to mod the BIO files in any way, but the SLIC tool i had (i know where it is offered to D/L if you are interested) inserted the SLIC directly into my onboard BIOS without any flashing required. I still wonder how that is possible, but i reinstalled windows a few times and code stayed there, so it HAS to be permanent. :-)

Ah, then it is something else than a "normal" BIOS modding tool.
ZitatWould you mind an exchange of knowledge? ;-)
Ok, I am always interested in learning something new.

Fernando... I have an Asus p8h61-m-lx-plus-r2.0 motherboard that won't take a bios update.... it's on #1203 right now and it's corrupt.... I have tried using EZ FLASH 2 on the old Bios and it says the same #1203 is not an UEFI bios..., which it truly is... How can I flash the GOOD 1203 to fix it..???? Any help will be appreciated.... A newby...., lentmain

What lets you think, that it is corrupt? Did you flash the BIOS yourself? If yes, did you flash an original or a modded BIOS? Have you already cleared the CMOS?

The original motherboard was a SATA 2 board and I wanted a SATA 3, for the SSD and other hard drives.. I had tried to use a PCIe adapter that created 4 new SATA3 data ports..... It was working great..., except after finally loading all of the windows downloads from Microsoft..., it cme up with a black screen..., " There is no boot device... Click N and pick a new boot device"... I tried clicking N It didn't work with anything... I tried to flash the same #1203, the most current BIOS from Asus, onto the MB with the adapter still attached..... Well.... , it didn't work... Now it will only say...., "the item you are flashing is not a UEFI bios...." Which it is.... It will not respond to a F2 or Delete click during restart, to open the BIOS programming... I have to use F8 to open up the BOOTABLE comuter components and none of them work to Boot the computer... It's like the UEFI line to boot iss missing... A corrupted BOOT....
@lentmain: Have you already tried to contact the ASUS Technical Support?

Yes sir..., they want me to do an RMA return and fix.... I think I might just look for a replacement MB that already has 6gb SATA's.... Oh well.... Thanks for the forum..... I just love programming.....
