Let's say that there is no UBU tool. There is only what is available to the ordinary modder.
Please answer such a question. Have you modified the BIOS at all?
If "Yes", then can you guarantee that your modification is 100% working?
You understand that no one will ever give a 100% guarantee in the iodification of a particular BIOS.

Any self-respecting modder always follows some rules.
1) A backup is always made.
2) Know how to restore BIOS from Backup.
3) The presence of a SPI-programmer is not even discussed.
4) And the most important. It is always asking yourself the question - "Why do I need this modification?"
I'm not even saying that it’s not bad to have at least basic knowledge about the design of modern BIOS.

So think about why you need these modifications and how to restore BIOS in case of an accident.

@GnarZ77

Open BIOS in UEFITool
Find string "as text" '$VBT' or more accurately HEX '00F82456425420' or '00F8........2456425420'

But why do you need it? For the SNB and IVB, I do not have the source BIN and BSF files.

@SoniX

I just copied the files found in ubu folder when running. The need is pure out of curiosity. Pitty there are no source files for SNB-IVB. The files look to hold info about flat pannels (mainly).

@GnarZ77

In these files, GOP VBT, as in OROM VBIOS contains settings for correct operation - displaying the image on the screen.
If you tried to configure OROM VBIOS, then this is the same, but for GOP Drivers.

Basically, it’s better not to touch these files if the GOP Driver works fine.
But if there are problems in the operation of the GOP Driver, then you need to look at the settings in the GOP VBT.

@SoniX

The only issue i have left is that i have no audio over iGPU HDMI ooutput. This only works when i set my iGPU as first boot device in the uefi.
But since i boot from AMD dGPU i do not get any soundouput from the iGPU, although the iGPU audio device is recognized and listed in device manager. When i boot with iGPU first the HDMI audio of it does work.
That is why i wanted to look into these GOP VBT's. This is also not a real problem since i have realtek audio and also a corasir headset, so i have audio devices enough that work. I was just trying to find out why the iGPU does not want to give audio when booting from dGPU. I tried opening the raw gop vbt in iBMP but without config file it does not work. No worries really.

@GnarZ77

I looked through all the archives after recovery. Unfortunately, I do not have the original GOP VBT and BSF for SNB/IVB. Sorry I can't help you.

At one time, we found these files in driver installation packages. Intel then made such a leak. It is possible that someone has such a collection.

I found some files for HSW/BDW

@SoniX

With X299 bios (LGA2066) and last UBU version, I have microcode for the LGA3647 and other platforms, it's normal ?




Thanks

@tistou77

50656 and 50657? Yes, that's fine.But if you do not need these microcodes, then turn them off (50656 ...-> #50656 ..., etc) in the list.

@SoniX

Yes, 50656 and 50657 (LGA3647) and too 906E9 and 506E8 (LGA1151)

I find it odd to have in the list of bios LGA2066, microcodes that are for another platform

Hi, little problem (404) accessing Sonix's cloud page this morning..

I just messaged him about that too, right after he updated main news thread with changelog update

Oops!
Restruct in Cloud. Sorry.
Indicated a direct link.

After 24 hours i understand how to flash the bios for the first time with the guide thanks Sonix and Fernando.
i use z390 master f8 i try to get the microcode of f4 and add to f8 everything is fine the mod is OK but here come the problem.I had thought that f4 is the first release so they dont add the microcode patch for security but after boot and open InSpectre and micropatch is still on YES. so my question is someone know how to remove this microcodepatch I would be very grateful.

Today i try again to mod again the microcodes i try to get from others version of gigabyte of z390 and z370 but still nothing work to remove the microcode patch
