Zitat von SoniX im Beitrag UEFI BIOS Updater v1.1.7
New UEFI BIOS Updater v1.1.7
Change:
1) Recovery of the "Empty" module, if it was removed during the upgrade CPU microcode.
2) Updated OROM SATA Marvell 9230 to v1.0.0.1018
3) Excluded OROM SATA ASMedia v3.02

Thanks for the update! Will this version "re-add" the empty module to a bios modded with with previous version, or do I have to re-mod from stock?
Thanks!

Hi Sonix,

Im really new to all this BIOS modding. Im contacting you cause I need help with the following.

I have an ASUS P8Z77 WS board that I just bought, supports SandyBridge processors D2 stepping, but my problem is that I have an ES (Engineering Sample) Core i7 2600K D1 stepping processor which is not supported by it.

Can you help me or edit the BIOS to insert the D1 stepping microcode for my ES processor in the P8Z77 WS?

I would really appreciate any help you can give me. My Sandy CPU works great, and I don´t want to spend more money to buy a newer Ivy CPU.

Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately, setting the CPU microcode you give nothing.
I can advise to contact our support or buy a new CPU.

Hi Francko1979,

Try....?

@Francko1979

If you are brave enough to test another's man work, I have added some files. But please read ahead. Yesterday I played with this for fun and to see if buying an ASUS board is a game-stopper, being locked for modding and updating.

I will write the steps, so anyone can point the errors, if any. Looking at this video I assumed you would need a 206A6 microcode, which ex58 (Stasio?) later confirmed. I have extracted the microcode 206A6 rev. 28 from that board, attached it to the second {17088572-377F-44EF-8F4E-B09FFF46A070} module, corrected its checksum using UEFITool, but using MMTool for replacing, as it produced a different result, not sure if benign.

I know I could have used "insert patch data", but decided to play safe with hex editing.
The trouble comes with flashing this. I don't think I know enough about ASUS boards, so I'll just check a few things. You cannot use ASUS tools with a modded cap file, only USB BIOS FlashBack works. That's why you have a modded Z77WS.CAP for this method. I only re-added the header from the original file.
I also attached a APTC022.ROM for non-ASUS tools. Not sure which one is safe between afuwin/afudos, Intel FPT, CodeRush's FTK, flashrom, external programmer. I'll wait for someone who knows and tested this.
You can use UBU to update all other pieces, if all goes OK. If you decide to use an Ivy CPU, you should also update its microcode to the latest, rev. 19 for retail 306A9. Don't use UBU for microcodes, as it will only support retail CPUs, not ES.

@lordkag, UEFITool will produce different files then MMTool, because UT uses FFFFFFFF-... as Pad-file GUID (which must be so for volumes with ErasePolarity = 1, as described in UEFI PI 1.0 specs), and MMTool uses another GUID for them. Apart of that, same MMTool's and UEFITool 0.16.3's mods have no differences on modern ASUS boards, as far as I and @SoniX have tested.
To all: you can also be part of UEFITool test process, because without you I can't test anything, and without testing, UT will never be as good as MMTool and PhoenixTool. Please test it, write your reports, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Guys, success at last!!!

Another guy from BIOS MODS, sent me a modded bios for my board and it worked.
Here´s the link in case you wanna take a look at it http://www.sendspace.com/file/qyj2qf
Flashed it with ASUS USB BIOS flashback. Board is up and running with my ES CPU.
Special thanks to CodeRush, great help and he also did the mod on my previous board that worked flawlessly.

Thanks again!
