Afternoon
Have downloaded UBU and MMtool package
even though ubu states that bios is ami aptio V had to go with 5.0.0.7 tool from the folder from my understanding that should be IV?
Anyway, updated the microcode on the bios, all shows yes on modded bios, saved as mod.bin
Dropped it on the usb stick to flash via mflash (msi board) but it is not recognized, not a massive surprise there
Havent been playing around with modded bios for a while and memory is not the best
Can anyone help on how to go about flashing new bios?
Regards

Rename to stock MSI name and extension.

Hello again! I was the one who was asking about the Intel server motherboard a while back. I managed to get the programmer to detect the chip successfully (I had to rewire it and make sure it was connected properly). I then read the chip and verified it, and now have the BIOS saved to a file. I am unable to replace the microcode in it however with UBU, since when I try to I get an MMTool window which opens with the text "File not found" when it tries to replace it. After some research on this website it seems it is because it is an Intel BIOS which contains an AMI BIOS, although I am unsure about this. I also read something about using a tool called "INTEL2AMI" to convert it, but I am not sure if that would work. Is there any way to get the CPU microcode replacement function to work with an Intel BIOS which is based on AMI Aptio 4?

Edit: Just for clarification - I was able to get this to work before when opening the .CAP files in UBU, however now with the file which was dumped from the chip using the programmer it seems to not be working.

@Lost_N_BIOS
Thank you, didn't think it was going to work! :D

@AwesomeMarioFan - upload your dumped BIOS and I will update it for you, or if you only want to do it yourself I will tell you method I would use to update it.

Thanks for that @Fernando!
@Lost_N_BIOS I have managed to mod and flash bios but it didn't not work. I have sourced an old bios (E7972IMS.A42 02/22/2016) which is missing from msi's download section and it is working fine
Ideally I would want latest bios with microcode updated as I cant see an update coming for z170's. Latest bios is 7972vAC and linked from msi site: http://download.msi.com/bos_exe/mb/7972vAC.zip
Uploaded a modded bios to tiny upload: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...454711975854948 also uploadfiles.io: https://ufile.io/iha1xkzz
Thanks again!

@CivilDrone - flashed it and what didn't work? Maybe you did the mod, whatever you did, incorrectly? How did it "Not work"
I would not suggest using some old BIOS like you mentioned, use latest BIOS. If you only are updating microcodes, and it's failing to boot after you flash, then that means it's a badly modified BIOS. How are you modifying it?
I will do it for you if this is what's happening, but to latest BIOS, is that OK? If yes, link me to your motherboards download page

@Lost_N_BIOS
Modded bios with mmtool and ubu
Upon running ubu all sections state YES in green and original bios states only 1 which leads me to believe it has modded
Bios flashed and booted no problem but oc doesnt hold even though all steps exact same as in old bios i have flashed and its stable
Could you update it please i have linked in the post above, msi z170 mortar
7972vAC and linked from msi site: http://download.msi.com/bos_exe/mb/7972vAC.zip
Thank you

@CivilDrone - Thanks for info, maybe still bad BIOS mod and ucode is not being loaded, is this the mod BIOS you linked at post 417? If yes, I will compare with stock and let you know if it's a bad mod or not.
Please link me to your motherboards download page, not some direct BIOS link. Thanks - Really needing to confirm that now, since I look up the model you mentioned and do not find it, instead only see MSI Z170M Mortar

Also, since you are changing directly CPU related control items, your old OC settings may need re-tweaked, but I'll check your mod BIOS it may not be done correctly which would cause no microcodes to be loaded instead of correct updated one
What CPU do you have?
