If you close the message box with the CPU microcode already using the mouse, thus you interrupt functioning of the command processor, it's not a mistake. Close the message box ESC key.

SoniX....
Changelog for UBU 1.21?

It seems, that SoniX has updated/changed some LAN ROM modules, but the new version is obviously not ready resp. not yet officially released.
So we have to wait for the developer SoniX.

@ SoniX:

Your new UBU version 1.22 is great!
Especially users with an ASRock mainboard benefit from the automaticly done removal of the Capsule Header. I just have tested your new tool with the latest BIOS for my ASRock Z97 Extreme6. Everything worked flawlessly (inclusive the update of the LAN ROM modules).
Thanks for your efforts to make the UBU tool as safe and comfortable for the users as possible!

Although my BIOS is protected I don't get the message in the tool to remove it, or is it completely automatic?.

It is done by the UBU tool automaticly.

Thanks i've updated the BIOS of the Asrock without any issues.

Next thing I tried was to update the Intel Lan OROM but that gives an error
The UBU script shows this.

And the MMTool5.exe shows

Will I notice anything in Windows if I update the LAN OROM or is it only used during PXE boots?

There seems to be not enough space within the BIOS for that operation.

As long as you do not use the Wake-On-LAN option, you will not notice anything.

While looking for updates, I have found this. Hope you don't mind a little humour. If I may...

#1541 | Z.Extractor datum

@lordkag

Hello! :)
When a new version Z.Extractor?
Version 5 is not working correctly with the OROM VBIOS SkyLake. Defined as Haswell-Broadwell.
Do not extract VBT for GOP SkyLake.
Do not determined the new OROM LAN Intel PXE CL.

Question. What do you think. New OROM LAN Intel PXE CL can be a substitute for Intel PXE GE and new EFI LAN Intel Gigabit UNDI be a substitute for Intel PRO/1000 UNDI?

Zitat von SoniX im Beitrag #1503
When a new version Z.Extractor?

Hey SoniX,

Earlier today, I happened to ask Lordkag of something similar regarding the Extractor. Basically I reported a small bug and also the incompatibility of the new 1151 stuff. He told me that although some bugs of v5 were fixed when reported,

a) he hasn't released a new version yet with those fixes (of course these "fixes" are not 1151-related since those were reported today) and
b) he doesn't have much time to work on it at the moment because of the other tools that he has written recently (Image finder/editor at UEFI SPI images, Award extractor/dummy.bin insertion , GOPUpd etc)

Also, because of the fact that usually lots of manual research needs to be done when new things emerge (1151 in this case), it might take more time. It would definitely help him to have some things determined before implementing them to Extractor as it will save time.

I replied here with his answer so that he doesn't have to repeat himself. Hope it's ok.

Ok. We will wait. :)
A replacement Intel LAN PXE GE and UNDI PRO/1000 to new LAN PXE CL and UNDI Gigabit should be tested. We will seek testers.

Pretty much what Plutomaniac said. I had fixed Skylake and CherryView when it appeared, but got carried away with the other scripts. I will upload the version I am currently using and later edit this message with a changelog and related work.

Edit: reuploaded the file

What was changed:
- python is now searched in PATH variables, so no more editing the bat with its location
- I added a coloured output, to have a better separation of the sections. For the time being it is only used when cecho is present, but if you like it, I can default to use cecho when it is appropriate.
- SkyLake and CherryView
- LSI SAS2 MPT UEFI
- Intel Lan UNDI now has the 10GbE/40GbE/Gigabit tagging. For Pro/1000 I leave it blank, since it is the most common format. For Pro/Server I see it in Intel's readme that it is PCI only version, as opposed to PCIe for all others, so this one is less likely to be found.
- UEFIExtract.bat now prints the name of extracted file.
- a few fixes in getting OROM version
- the ME 1.5M Firmware is now checked for data after 0x17D000, to not be cut anymore. A better extraction for all type of ME FW is planned.
- since AMD pushed the firmwares to coreboot, I now have corrected the extraction of IMC and XHCI. SMU and PSP is only changed with Mullins, will be corrected later.
- AMD hasn't enforced a specific sets of rules for microcodes, which leaves the OEMs to add all sorts of padding. I now check the padding and cut where it is needed.
- they also have one microcode released on the 13th month, so I had to adopt their calendar.
- I also left three new options that I happened to use. One is "text" which tries to extract ASCII or unicode text from a file, but no dictionary or anything. Another is "dellhdr" that tries to unpack the hdr from XPS 13 2015. And the last is "nvrun", which I needed to get some ROMs from Nvidia executables.

Yes, it is possible that Intel is planning to switch to this CL version. But I don't see it as a replacement, more like an upgrade. It is still Gigabit, like PRO/1000. And it is very similar to 6.0.23 for instance.

#1545 | UEFI BIOS Updater v1.23.1 Intel IvyBridge-E Boot Flags YES to NO with CPU patch ? datum

Thu May 28, 2015 7:47 pm (Last edited: Fri May 29, 2015 3:46 pm)

Before I update my CPU MicroCode for Intel IvyBridge-E only, MMTOOL indicates that BOOT is
set to YES for all VOLs.

After I update, all VOL boots are set to NO

I am using an Asus Rampage VI Extreme Black ED. Motherboard (Intel 4960X ivy-bridge CPU) &
untouched clean bios ver 0701 from asus for modding

Is this a bug ? What does this flag do anyway ?

Can you make me a scripted LGA2011ibe_BOOT_YES.ffs with instructions ?

Thanks,

Biozzz
