I knew .py would be a pain for all as soon as I seen it being discussed
Should go back to MCE.exe IMO, people can get over the false warnings or move it along

I also stay with the version of UBU which uses MCE.exe

@Lost_N_BIOS bios
Thanks for the workaround solution, I have replaced MCE.py with MCE.exe and got the CPU microcodes menu.
However i got also a warning error -ubu file 'not found', how to fix it:
[[File:MCE_used_06juil20.PNG|none|auto]]

I am having a problem to replace the LOGO of Asrock X99 OC Formula/3.1 BIOS. Here are the steps:
1. Using AMI ChangeLogo program to replace the logo with mine (300x300).
2. Using UBU_v1.79.4 to remove instant flash protection.
3. Exit out without modifying anything else.

After flashing the BIOS:
The motherboard keeps recycling at code 99, no BIOS screen. I use the same procedure, it works fine with Asrock Z87 Extreme6 and other MSI motherboards. I just need to replace the Asrock LOGO, nothing else.

Please help.

@100PIER:
I had the same error. Try my practice from yesterday, perhaps it work for you:

I uninstalled all python-sw (i had still some older versions on my machine), cleaned manually all folders and registry from python-leftovers, after restarting install latest python as described - don't forget to check the "add to PATH"-marking -, installing colorama from commandline, now it should work. OS is Windows 7 x64.

Hi SoniX

UEFI BIOS Updater v1.79.4
We have this bug:

Kind regards,

@100PIER - Sorry, I did not post any solution, only meant that when I seen discussion of moving over to MCE.PY I knew it would cause lots of problems for many users.
You can however use MCE.EXE instead, they mentioned this a few pages back, if there is something else you need to change in the code when doing so I am not aware, you'll have to look back and see.

@ptran3014 - Run stock unedited BIOS through UBU, then see if you can flash it, if so then issue is Changelogo version, or the edit is breaking the BIOS etc, and you'll need to do it manually.
Also, I think some newer UBU may not remove Asrock protection anymore, not 100% sure, but I noticed I don't see it mentioned anymore and have compared a few files before/after when looking at this at random times and some newer UBU = same/same input/output, so you may need to use older version of UBU

@SoniX - Can you confirm about that, I know some models/chipsets this does not work anymore, but is there some versions you have removed this entirely from, or just some may not show it at visual output in the CMD window?

@Lost_N_BIOS - I have used successfully with UBU_v1.74.0.3 before. But it does not work anymore so that I download the latest version: UBU_v1.79.4. Both have the same problem. Version v1.74.0.3 removes 'Instant flash protection' automatically. Version v1.79.4 has an option at the end to select it. It does not matter what version I use, the 'Instant Flash' went through smoothly. But when I reboot, it stop at a certain code for a long time, when it comes to code 94, it recycle power on off. I have many versions of AMI Change Logo programs and tried all of them. The latest Asrock X99 OC Formual/3.1 BIOS version is 3.80. I tried an older version 3.60 but the result is the same. As I stated, I did this many times in the past without problems. Asus and Gigabyte have their own but MSI and Asrock don't have the utilities so that I have to use UBU. (We are a small PC builder / reseller and need to replace the BIOS logo to look like our BRAND.)
I will run the stock BIOS V3.80 without edit the logo to see it works or not. Will let you know later.
Thank you so much for your support.

@ptran3014 - Then as I mentioned, it may not be included in latest UBU, use that older version of UBU to remove the security protection, then make your edit and test.
If you are sure it's removed now, sorry, I can't tell for sure if you know security protection is now removed in your BIOS or not, then issue is with the logo mod. ChangeLogo does not work on all BIOS, and sometimes image type, format, depth, etc can be accepted by the program but not your BIOS. So you may need to do it manually.
Using ChangeLogo In the past many times on other boards/BIOS does not apply to this one. If you have used it on this exact board/BIOS before, then maybe image is the issue, or just new BIOS needs it done manually for some reason
Latest ChangeLogo I have is 5.0.0.2, is that the newest one you've tried as well?

Yes, please test a security removed UBU edited BIOS without logo mod and make sure that is OK.
Then once you are sure it is, send me your logo and the BIOS and I will swap in the logo for you manually, and edit image into proper format if necessary.
You're welcome!

Lost_N_BIOS - Thank you for your suggestion. Here is what I have done: I use the previous working version of UBU: v1.74.0.3. This one removes INSTANT FLASH PROTECTION automatically. I use the original downloaded BIOS from Asrock without modifying with UBU. After flashing the BIOS, it works fine. Now I use Changelogo to replace with the Asrock logo (the original one). After flashing, the problem is there. So the Changelogo program causes the problem. I tried to use 'UEFITool' as well but the same problem is still existed. By the way, how do I send you the BIOS and the logo? I am new to this blog.

@ptran3014 - That's confusing how you worded that You should use old UBU you mentioned, remove the protection with UBU and test flash it. Then if that is OK and flashes, then try to logo mod.
If that is what you did, then yes, changelogo is issue, and sometimes UEFITool can cause it's own issues too, depending on version, you have to check before/after and make sure the entire volume you edit matches (no added or removed padding is major thing to look for)
You can put files in zip/rar and attach using advanced reply >> Button on far right, if the archive is under 6MB you can attach it. If it's larger than that, upload to any free file host you like, preferably not Microsoft or mega.nz
Please only send logo image you want and UBU protection removed BIOS, that you have already confirmed it flashes OK by itself and runs without issue.

Here are the BIOS and the logo. Again, thank you so much for your help.

@ptran3014 - The attached file is 100% stock BIOS, protection has not been removed by UBU - I will remove with 1_69_17_4

* Edit @ptran3014 - Before I do logo edit, please test this BIOS, does it flash OK and boot to BIOS OK
DO NOT FLASH FILE THAT WAS HERE - Please wait, fixing

Original logo, I assume the one you want to replace since only one is shown by ChangeLogo, is 12KB JPG. Your replacement image should be that same size and type, so this is the issue I assume

I did tried to replace the stock logo with its own logo, the same size but it did not work.
