I do not recommend replacing the EFI, it may not support old chips.

Good day, using UBU 1.79.17 with python-3.9.6-amd64, mmtool_a4.exe to refresh an Aptio 4 BIOS on W10 1809 LTS:

So UBU's Disk Controller section has replaced Intel RST GUID and OROM with the correct version. Ran again to verify, all good.

However after updated CPU microcode I went to re-verify Disk Controller and UBU is able to replace the RST GUID item again, only OROM and the version stays fine.

After some testing results came back with 2 image variants, the re-updated RST image's hex length is about 792 bytes shorter.

So came down to the questions:

Should I trust the image that ignore re-update the RST after updated the microcode?

Or should I trust the image that has re-updated RST after the microcode? If so..
Does re-updating the RST may break the microcode update? Or is this a possible bug with the UBU?


Thanks for reading and the help. If there's anything else needed I will provide.

I haven't seen these errors before, is it safe to flash regardless? Wanting to add latest MCU for my 10900K.

@Fernando I have not used UBU with this platform before and I haven't seen anyone else in this thread either for that matter.
Will wait on SoniX's input.

An incomplete repository of old UBU versions can be found >here<. You need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. Feel free to contribute other old versions, which are not yet included

OK, I understand. Maybe it's better this way - the packed archive is only 173MB so you can download it quickly. 6GB would be a long download.

I swapped my beloved GA-Z97X SLI rev 1.2 for a crappy ROG motherboard, simply because the GA couldn't boot even a live usb of Arch linux. People at RMA got it to work, so eventually I sold it, no need to invest time fixing things.

The latest bios (2018 release) is even more outdated than the Gigabyte bios (2016) in terms of intel vbios, RST and ethernet firmware. I proceded to update everything like usual and flashed it using the usb backup flash method.
All is fine except that overclocking is quite broken. Overclock doesn't apply inside the bios (everything is reported at stock speeds), but CPU overclock does work. Ram overclock on the other hand doesn't. Ram timing is set to 9-9-9-24, speed at 1333MHz and voltage to 1.35v (since I have two low voltage sticks and two 1.5v sticks). Ram oc settings are totally ignored.

I reverted to the original bios and I can only think that a microcode update patched some potential expoloits which break functionality of the bios.
If anyone could take a look at it, would be appereciated.

I might try and update everything except microcode and try again.

Nothing. :(
