@mandrakerj are you sure?
@slackeritguy I dropped the link. I will try it as soon as possible, if really corrupt, I will upgrade the UEFI and post a new one.

@mandrakerj sorry for the incovenience, glad to know that you recover your uefi.
@slackeritguy I have updated the uefi, I tried it on mine z77 and everything is ok now.

Here is the updated link:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vC0PmY...mky2bk98_MchbTD

I tried your "old" (March, md5 fe35467a47cb6ebce450e6e22c454c50) mod and it works without problems as far as I can see. Should I be worried? Should I upgrade to the new version (md5 725e576f62da2ae5cb095530bb25a6f6)?

@sneaker don't worry. That is the best, but on some cases, on flash process, it could freeze. If you flash without any problem, there is no need to worry or upgrade to this new one.

@slackeritguy because uefi modules. The first uefi have SATA/RAID/VBios updated. This new one not. I tried it on mine z77 Professional and also on a z68 Professional (yeah, I'm crazy, using the UEFI on diferent mb), flashing the original uefi, from AsRock with a flash programmer and then trying to update to a modified one by "instant flash". When I tried to flash (using instant flash) a uefi with those drivers updated, it froze on "preparing crashless feature". As this new one never froze, I prefer to keep it. But if you have a flash programmer and know how to use it, if the flash fails of course, you should use the "old" one, because it have updated drivers.
I'm investigating why its freezing on that.

@jcorrea just to be clear, I am clear to install the UEFI located at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vC0PmY...mky2bk98_MchbTD on a z77 Extreme 4? Will that will patch the Spectre/Metldown vulnerabiliies? Will it also update other components over the "stock" 2.90 firmware from ASRock?

Thank you for doing this!

@ganon yes, it will patch. And, yes it will update Lan drivers. I'm also investigating why some people had problem on flash an earlier version, with SATA/RAID/VBios drivers updated. This latest version works on all my tests.

@jcorrea sorry if this is a noob question, but the file you link to on Google Drive is a .7z that extracts to a .90P file. How am I supposed to flash either of these? I checked the 3 guides on ASRock's BIOS page but all of them seem to suggest you'd have a .exe file. Again, thanks for all your help.

@ganon get a pendrive, format it to fat32, put the extracted file in there. Enter in uefi with the pendrive plugged on, go to advanced tab, look for "Instant Flash". It will find the file. You only have to hit "Enter" and wait while the uefi is flashed. Don't turn off the pc while its flashing the uefi, to avoid a bricked uefi.

@jcorrea how long should this entire process take? I put the extracted file onto a FAT32 USB drive, booted into UEFI, and selected Instant Flash. A lot of things flashed on the screen because it looked like it was automatically browsing to and selecting the file from the flash drive, then the screen just went totally black. Computer has been that way for about 10 minutes now, and I'm just leaving it alone. Is that normal? How long should it take for the UEFI to flash? Really hoping I didn't just brick my mobo because I failed to follow incredibly basic instructions, lmao.

EDIT: 30+ minutes now, still black screen. Not looking good. Is this what happened to @mandrakerj? He seems to have at one point seen some kind of progress bar. I never even had that. Just immediate black screen...

EDIT 2: Powered down my computer and everything was fine. Booted back into UEFI, went to Instant Flash, and this time I was able to manually select the file. I got a progress bar and programming success, then the computer rebooted. It seems like everything installed properly. I have NO idea why I got the black screen the first time, since I didn't do anything any differently... Maybe I pressed the Enter button for a moment too long and that caused it to crash? Lol. UEFI now reports version P2.90P. Thanks for the help!

@ganon its maybe a fault on your old uefi, As you described you didn't start the flashing process and instant flash don't even allow you to select the file. Btw, I'll try to simulate that. Do you remember witch uefi version you was using before update?

@jcorrea just to confirm, version P2.90P is the updated UEFI? I only ask because CPU-Z reports the date as 12/17/2015 (but I guess that's just because this is a modded UEFI based on a version that was released in 2015).
