@honeybadger - I think that is safest thing to do here if you do not have flash programmer in hand (or wait, order CH341A + SOIC8 test clip with cable, or U Type Flat IC Extractor if BIOS in a socket - cost is less than $7 shipped for all items)

@Lost_N_BIOS @SoniX
Just to confirm that only the CPU microcode mod from 800820B to 800820D went through, but only using the EZFlash3 method on the Asus Zenith Extreme BIOS/UEFI v2001. Bios/UEFI Flashback did not work for microcode only, or for full mod Bios/UEFI. So indeed Asus let one slip through...!!! Ha, ha... At least it is good to know that the microcode function is dead on the money in UBU.

@maks provided some links which might be very useful in sorting out UBU...

Can't agree that is good/new/best method, AFU w/ GAN is made for old boards, and I've seen it mess up many modern BIOS (not un-bootable, but cause other issues later), so I cannot condone or suggest that method of updating.
This one probably works just the same, and does not need old AFU made for BIOS8 type BIOS - https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/592...r-motherboards/
ROM?? Capsule renamed as ROM, or capsule removed thus actual bin/rom file?

Sounds like big hassle on your build there, at least Asus came through!

@Lost_N_BIOS:
I can't speak as to the best method, ie the AFU override, but it appears to work. Not that I'm in a hurry to brick my board though...
It looks like capsule removed and thus an actual bin/rom file...

Yes, it works to flash the BIOS on many systems, and then often BIOS is messed up internally after that until fixed via programmer. << This, leaves me ending up with trying to help users correct issues later and then not be able to due to the use of this method on modern boards
Plus - Some systems = brick instantly, be careful using that on modern boards, you only get lucky when you get lucky

@SoniX

That's an English idiom (expression) that say something like "Exactly Right" or "Exactly Correct": https://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_boar...ssages/436.html

hancor might wanted to say that UBU beats the motherboard bios and microcode function method he used to mod so he could flash

For prize competitions, a coin would be set at the middle of the target and the archer whose arrow landed closest to the coin would take the coin as the prize.
Therefore right on the money would mean the center of the target (dead center).

Practice of shooting the coin with arrows is still used today.
DERIVATION: This expression derives from an old English sport, bullbaiting dogs try to pull a bull by his nose to the ground. Gamblers would place a bet "on the bull's eye" if he wished to make a bet. Crowns, an English coin, were used to bet so frequently "on the bull's eye" that the coin itself came to be called a bull's-eye. Later, the term was applied to the black center of a target. The idiom right on the money is also derived from the ancient interchangeable use of a coin, bull's-eye and the center of a target.
...
Thus the idiom "Dead on the money" is interchangeable with "right on target, a bull's eye!"; indicating an extremely high degree of precision.
eg. In high school metal shop class I built a 45 calibre black powder muzzle loader rifle. We would set up targets on the shooting range (eg oil tins filled with water) at various distances 300m, 600m, etc. and watch with glee at the explosion of water as the hydrodynamic effect of the bullet passing through...thus the accuracy of being "dead on the money".
I once hit a golf ball set up on a golf tee at 100m with the same rifle, while dialing in the sights. This would be described as "dead on the money" indicating a high degree of accuracy. The implied is a compliment to the recipient of such accolades...

1 Improve ezflash functionality
2 Improve memory stability

I would certainly agree that Asus improved the ezflash functionality; given my microcode update!
The only remaining question is whether that was intentional on the part of Asus!

Cheers

@hancor - Nice find! Don't ask them about it, or they might "fix" I doubt it's intentional. The bad thing here is, usually EZ Flash/Flashback module is per BIOS/model, well at least has target BIOS name in it (that can be edited without issue)
So, you can extract that module, maybe two, I forget and would have to look. And then it can be flashed into other boards, if you edit the name of target BIOS. I've used this method to make crossflash possible along with other edits in those instances.

In this BIOS, hard to tell, since many of the modules are not labelled. Maybe 7ECD9C20-68B9-4A6F-B515-D64FF500B109, or one of the ones below, you'd have to remove them one by one and see if EZ Flash or Flashback works still after that
Or - 97AF1D95-203C-42DE-8D6B-D13EB7E5A55A, or 2FAB50B8-AE15-4219-BAA0-E8CA23E57A1E

Can i mod bios Gigabyte H110-D3A motherboard run i3-9100f?

@Fernando - Gigabyte usually all unlocked (FD unlocked, no BIOS or SMI lock etc) - So user easily flash if dumping by FPT and mod then reflash, or mod stock BIOS and flash with Qflash. Occasionally mod BIOS to flash by Qflash needs this one byte edit done before Qflash will accept

@hanh007 - you need to use one of these tools, and be sure to look at the CPU pin images on the first pages and or in the download areas where the files are hosted, since you usually have to tape off some pins

When updating https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LG...E-ASUS-2002.zip
with EFI Intel Gigabit UNDI - 0.0.24 & Intel Boot Agent CL - 0.1.15 both files give error > parseSection: PE32 image with invalid DOS signature
need fix or ignore and flash ?

cosmetic, one more space needed between platform and -
