@ gordmul:

The file I have uploaded above is based on the stock ASUS BIOS so you can flash it. I compared the original mod and yes there are around 10 different settings and I found one which could be related to the problem you are facing:



So try the file I attached above and hopefully BIOS FlashBack will accept the same version.

@ Sylar76:

Hopefully it's obvious but my posts are not meant to appear as I'm scolding your efforts. Just to be clear, it's only constructive criticism which will lead to batter mods next time.

Sorry about that. I'll clean up my quotes from now on.

Also, can someone with an ASUS ROG board go to UEFI > Advanced > PCH Configuration and tell me the "South Bridge Stepping"? It should be xx/D0, I'm looking for the first xx number.

So probably BIOS FlashBack does not reflash the same version ME. Are you able to flash the BIOS (stock or modded) from within UEFI via EZ Flash 3? I'm not talking about USB FlashBack this time.

Thank you both for reporting back. I was looking for 31/D0 which makes sense. It's also reported at MEInfo.

Regarding EZ Flash, it worked because my FIXME image includes the original BIOS with only the ME updated on top of the correct settings. Did you test if the problem was fixed after flashing with EZ Flash through the UEFI. If not, you have two options.

Okay now I'm doing some preparations with this guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TaZqJPG75A

I tried to get my Ethernet MAC address with the guide (the part in the video starts around 3:00) but I can't since it says "Disabled" in the "Physical Address" row and "Disconnected" in the "Transport Name" row. How can I get these values when my Ethernet adapter cannot be started? Maybe from Windows logs somewhere?

Use the AFUWINGUI provided in the link I attached, save your bios, then, if you have it, use FD44EDITOR, open the backupped bios file generated by AFUWINGUI and copy and paste
data, like MAC, UUID and Motherboard Serial Number to the official ASUS Bios you want to flash.

Let me know if you're ok.

P.S.
If you wish attach your backup bios and I'll insert the needed strings for you. Furthermore, you can use the same bios chip on your mobo and I can unlock all descriptors, so in the future
you can simply use FPT to reflash it with no issues at all.

Okay I saved my current BIOS and there is a value in the "Primary card MAC" field. I hope it's a correct one even though the command "getmac /v" in command prompt couldn't read it.

I also discovered something in the saved BIOS backup. It says "Not present" in the "ME version" field. There was definitely something wrong with the ME Firmware flashing process.

Added the 1701 Ranger Mod version to the Google Drive folder.

is there already a solution for the Error 10?
I've flashed the bios to an ASUS Hero VIII and experience the same issue.

@superino, how did you fix it?
I've tried to uninstall the LAN Driver, Flash to the official 1701 BIOS but without any success.

Also as far as I know the Hero VIII does not have any backup bios? so no BIOS 1 and 2?

How can I downgrade the BIOS ME FW Version?
