On AFUDOS /C is not a valid flag that I can find anywhere, and /EC is not required for your board there is no EC update. About the microcodes, yes, possibly due to virtual machine. Can you boot normal windows install on a spare disk to check it? I am sure you can check with linix, but I don't know the method or tool to use.
I think maybe second section here, active microcode version will be what you want - https://gms.tf/check-cpu-microcode-version-on-linux.html

Yes, Intel BIOS always contain multiple volumes for different models, and often some programming/flash code too, that is why download BIOS is larger than actual. That, and security signatures is why you can really only edit/reprogram BIOS with programmer for Intel.

Thanks, I will check HP for you and update then tell you how to flash, or you can program. Please download that HP file and rehost, I get error 500 when following that link.

@Lost_N_BIOS

Ive checked CPU microcode on linux from superMicro... is the 0xA the last one ! Its due to hypervisor, it's isolating virtual machine to prevent infection...


For the HP, retry it on https://nofile.io/f/xfQFQk2pONt/363CF1D.exe

It contain 2 platform, 363 and 365, the good is 3658F1D file

0A is the correct microcode so you got it, good work! Thanks for HP link, but still no luck, Eset flags that as a virus. Please give me full exact model name and I will get from HP

You can't allow file from eset ?

Its a HP Pavilion dv7-3125sf :)
The file on HP is an executable too... :)

EXE is fine for me to download, eset said that downloading file was infected. I will check if get same from HP server?
Is this same one, exe is named differently than the one you hosted - https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50586.exe

From this page (win7 x64 OS) - https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel...8/model/4106941

Never mind, yes after initial extraction from above exe I get the file you uploaded 363CF1D.exe - it's a go! No issues downloading, maybe the host was having a bad day with infections the other day when I tried to download your file?

You can extract my file and you will find 2 differents bios in it. The correct one is the 3658F1D.bin 4KB and I don't know how to edit it.

Yes, I further extracted the one I mentioned too, and see the files you mention. It can be edited a few ways, UEFITool, EZH2O, Hex. Give me some time to read back and get into this and I'll do the mods you need.
Is there any default BIOS settings you need changed, or just mods you mentioned previously?

I've discovered recently that i can update more than Microcode on Bios :) But for the moment, on my machine i Just want to update Microcode.. the 20652 one for sure, machine cpu is a i3-330M
I can proceed if you find a method to open this bios.

Thanks for your work @Lost_N_BIOS

You mean the DZ77? Once you send me dump I can update it for you if you don't want to do it, or don't know which tools to use.
For the HP, all tools I mentioned above from quick check can be used, possibly others but I didn't check. I would use UEFITool to update microcodes and any other modules like vBIOS, SATA, and use EZH2O if I wanted to change logo or some BIOS setting.
Microcodes are at the second padding when opened in UEFITool (Be careful editing, there DMI section at bottom too starting at 14000)

You are welcome!

Not for de DZ77 for this motherboard i Will extract dump later... I need to stop my working PC to do it :)

The 20652 I3-330M is for the HP, and i know its another Non UEFI bios :)

Edit : It's opening with UEFI tool 0.22.3... But i don't know how to update microcode with it

I don't know EZH2O i will check it

I was not talking about the i3 CPU/board/microcode at all, just talking in general about both boards I mentioned (The DZ7 and the HP)
For the HP, use latest version of UEFITool. Expand main UEFI section and the second padding is the microcode file, extract as it, edit like before


Here inside this package is last two newer versions of EZH2O publically available, download v.1.1

Thanks for the link

I'm in UEFI tool NE Alpha 40 but how to do with padding line ? I extract pad file but after ?


Edit : I try to use tutorial on first page on this thread but i don't have FIT tab...

I suppose that in HEX padding file microcode are separated by few 00 lines like they are on start of ucode file ?


Edit 2 : I'm proggressing... i have found third microcode in pad file is 1C100 long, like third ucode (20652) on MCexctractor... I have to replace and test.

Edit 3 : Remplaced Testd on UBU 20656 UPDATED YES !

I will do same for others microcode and test flashing.

Well then use EUFITool NE Alpha 51, latest version of any tool always unless there is some reported issue. FIT table does not apply here.

Yes, see image above, I showed in both types of UEFITool where the second padding is (Notice, that is two UEFITool windows open, just to show you both version types the second padding is in same location)

Here's my quick and easy way to update all micrcodes at once, in that file. Use this method to create a single file with all codes in it, then FF all microcodes in the padding file, then open this file and copy paste into the padding file (Making sure you don't go past that DMI entry beginning at 14000)
