Hello;

First time working through this so I wanted to ensure I had done everything correctly before flashing my BIOS with the modded one:

Start
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-v PRO BIOS 3603
IRST: 10.6.2.1001

I downloaded Intel RST RAID ROM v10.6.0.1091 to use in the BIOS

As soon as I started I was a bit worried as UBU did not see EFI IRST SATA and I'm not sure if it should have or not?

So here is the progression:




Does this look correct or have I overlooked anything?

Am I good to flash my BIOS with the ROM file?

Thanks!

I have my the SATA mode set to RAID. I hope that doesn't cause any issues?

I updated the IRST up to the current version on ASUS's product page. I worry a bit that upgrading would not be compatible if it's not listed.

I went through the process twice and the first time used 12.7, so I can use that output ROM instead of the second ROM I created.

I'll go through the flash process when I return home and hope for the best!

Thanks a lot for all your work on this!

I've finished the flashing of the new BIOS and re-run TRIMCHECK.

It is still telling me that TRIM is NOT working.

I will try an alternate method of modding the BIOS and give it another shot.

I updated the IRST to 12.0.0.1083 and grabbed the special mod as was detailed here:
http://www.win-lite.de/wbb/board208-spec...html#post156472

TRIMCHECK is still showing as Not working.

How can I check to see that the mod was done properly?

ok I'll give it another try. Fresh install of windows too.

hmm well I went through the process again.

I started on my P8Z68-v Pro BIOS: 3603 and IRST 11.2.0.1006

I downloaded UBU and use it to mod a copy of the 3603 BIOS and Intel_RSTe_RAID-ROM_v12.7.0.1936_with_TRIM-in-RAID0_mod-acc-CPL0 (the file inside the RAR was called 8086-2822_v12701936_mod-for-TRIM-in-RAID0.bin)

Using UBU I modd'ed to 12.7.0.1936

I put that on USB (it was named P8Z68PRO.ROM) went into my BIOS upon start up and using ASUS EZ Flash I updated successfully.

Running TRIMCHECK upon startup says TRIM is not working.

I rebooted once more and TRIM is still not working.

At this point if there was a pre-modded ROM I could download I would give that a shot. Else I might decide that it's time to upgrade my system :) (Maybe a Z87 board)

Thanks for all the work yourself and others have put into this, and for taking the time to help me work through it all too!

I followed the steps you outlined and TRIMCHECK is now telling me TRIM is Enabled!

Thanks for all your assistance! I'm still confused as to how I messed up the UBU tool though. Both original BIOS and the Mod file were in the root directory for UBU and I just followed the onscreen directions

One other side note: All of my fonts are now slightly different. I might test rolling the BIOS back, now that I have a modded one which works, and see if it's related or just my tired eyes :)

I've been on BIOS 3603 for some time before Modding it.

I'll try to find some time tonight to Flash back to non-Modded version and see if there is a difference or if it was just me. (my eyes are not the greatest)

@Logun

You misunderstand; the Boot Font was changed in an earlier BIOS release (there have been 7 official releases), I think it was 3203 (the first of the '3' branch which had major changes and required a double-restart) but that was two years ago. It has never changed back to the original; that's why I asked about your previous version.

As our boards only differ in features, the respective BIOS releases are very similar and were released almost simultaneously.

Therefore, I'm certain there would be no change on restoring the unmodded 3603 BIOS.
