Thanks @Jen - On Gen3 Equalization WA's, if you change that to enabled, does 4 other related settings appear underneath it once enabled?

Thanks Lost_N_BIOS, yes there ere few more options after enable Gen3 Equalization WA's. Pic attached. Thank you.

Thanks @Jen - here is final unlock - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...980182638636718

Thanks very much Lost_N_BIOS, looking beautiful. Would you please do me one more favour, sorry I'm not asking too much ? ...
I did try to upgrade the ME firm few times from the forum guild(to the new ME Firmware_8.1.51.1471) and flash the BIOS successful, but when I restart the PC It restores back to the old firm ware,(I'm sorry to brick the MB for using the HeX editor). If you're happy to help one more time.., would you update the new NVME Dxe4 driver and new MicrocodeCPU too. If you too busy,, it's OK so long you'er not get mad at my..I'll attach the new firm ware & Microcode. Thanks again for your time and great help Cheer.
See you

@Jen - You're welcome! Very sorry, after all this I forgot to put in the NVME Mod

So, you need NVME mod (of course) and you want updated ME FW to latest, and update microcodes? If yes to all, sure, no problem. Sorry again I did all that unlock for NVME mod and then forget to include NVME Mod!!

* Edit - Do you want the old ME FW version (8.1.51.1471) you attached above, or latest (8.1.70.1590)

Yes Please Lost_N_BIOS every thing to the latest drivers (sorry I didn't know there is a new ME FW version 8.1.70.1590) ...You are my hero... Thank you Thank you.

@Jen - sorry for delay, I too have issue with the ME Guide on this one, please wait I've asked Plutomaniac to assist in a PM

Thanks Lost_N_BIOS, please take your time....

@Jen - here is BIOS, Plutomaniac did the ME FW update, I'm still not getting that to work properly so we've been discussing this back and forth for a few days.
But, I know you're probably tired of waiting so here is file he did the ME stuff on few days ago, rest I had already done for you and was hoping to sort out the ME Stuff myself since I usually don't have issue with that (But X79 seems to be a pain!)
This has all previous changes, updated microcodes (All), NVME Mod, and ME FW update to latest.

Thanks Lost_N_BIOS and Plutomaniac very much for your time . I did a successful flashed the new final BIOS, unfortunately the PC restarted with black screen, fans spinning, graphic card light on, PC's just running, but It doesn't reboot, it stacked at black screen no Asrock logo no thing, just black screen. I tried every thing that I can find online, like taking all RAM sticks out, just left only one RAM stick on, do the clear CMOS jumper, remove CMOS battery from the mainboard, but still doesn't work. I try to flash back to the original BIOS, but I can't 'cause black screen.
Please help... do you think about replacing the BIOS chip ? very much appreciated for your great help...

Crap @Jen - very sorry to hear this! Only way to recover is via CH341A flash programmer, and you need U Type Flat IC extractor if BIOS is in socket, or if BIOS is soldered flat to board then you need SOIC8 test clip.
Please let me know if you need links to examples of these on ebay, they are cheap $2.50 for the programmer and $1 for the IC Extractor, or $.3.60 for the SOIC8 clip/cable if needed, but at those cheap prices delivery time is 3-5 weeks from China.
Once you get them, do not erase or write to the chip, you need to dump it first and wait for me to confirm the dump is OK so we can proceed. This lets you find which software works properly for your chip, and lets me get serial/UUID and LAN MAC from your BIOS before you erase it to fix.

Yes please Lost_N_BIOS, I need those links and instructions how to, Thanks again,,

Is BIOS in socket, or flat soldered to board?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/332735579991
https://www.ebay.com/itm/123167465408 << If BIOS is in socket, this all you need (+ Programmer)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/382486015977 << If BIOS is soldered to board, this all you need (+ Programmer)

You can get these items on ebay from other sellers that ship faster for more $$, or from other local sellers on ebay, or other stores that sell computer stuff like Newegg/Amazon etc, but price will always be much more than ordering cheapest way from ebay.

@Jen - This either caused by the ME FW that gave us so much hassle and oddities while we tried to check things in the background, or possibly the update of ucodes manually instead of using MMTool in this instance.
I checked BIOS and all looks OK, but we wont be able to tell for sure until you get recovered and then I make you BIOS updating one of these things at a time so you can test and narrow down the cause.
Again, very sorry this happened! It's always a risk to flash BIOS, even stock, I wish everyone had flash programmer and backups made before we edit BIOS, but that's rarely the cause.
Don't worry, you will get it fixed easily, once you have the tools in hand

Thank Lost_N_BIOS. don't worry I know it's not a easy tasks, you spent a lots your times try to help, I'm very much appreciated for your assistant.. . At the moment I don't know where is the BIOS what it look like, I'll let you know when I find it.


Hi Lost_N_BIOS, I found this combo, Is it the right one for the job ? Thanks
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CH341A-Serie...N0AAOSwgS9dOMQv

@ Lost_N_BIOS please check the image, Is it the one and the tool I need is "U Type flat IC chip protect plier ROM circuit board extractor removal puller" ? Thanks.

@Jen - Edit this BIOS is pretty easy, but the ME FW is troublesome since we only have a non-fully-compatible FITc tool to work with X79 BIOS/ME FW, so can be hassle.
The failure It may all be due to how I edited the microcodes, but since that ME FW gave us such hassles it is high up on my possible causes list too, we'll find out later
I hope you have other system you can easily use while this one is down

BIOS for Asrock Extreme9 X79 is directly below the SB heatsink (bottom left corner of SB heatsink), I think. Do you see a chip in that socket? * Edit, yes, I checked manual, and this is the BIOS location (let me know if you need image)
I checked on stock image at Asrock site and there is no chip there, so if you have empty socket there too then this is not BIOS, and BIOS is probably under that SB Heatsink.
If you do have chip in there, then you have socketed BIOS and you need the U Type Flat IC extractor only (+ Programmer)
