Here is a BIOS 3801 Dump after using MMT5.2.0.24.
How can we see exactly if the BIOS file is not correct ?
I do detect "_FIT_" pattern but no "_PIT_" pattern.

been a while since ive tried to do something of this sort, whats the recommended tool to use to edit that patch in, not finding pre-patched online, figure i might as well try to do it myself

my thanks, my GE72-6QD BIOS that just released on 2/13 contains microcode... C2 i think it is

"Update CPU microcode 0xC2 for Intel-SA-00088 (Meltdown & Spectre) speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities."

but the date is 2017, is that really the one that fix's all the crashyness? having trouble finding a good resource list of whats good/bad

true, was merely mentioning use of UBU tool to check whats truly up in the BIOS

hi again
when I decided to re-open a updated/created XXX.cap file it was always reverting to the default components versions
IE: if i updated all the components : options 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 and saved the file for the flash, the versions stayed the same
but if i purged the tmp folder and the bios.bin.dump folders, and re-opened the CAP file and do the modifications, and saved it again, when i re-opened it thru UBU now the versions are at their highest that i choose, is it a normal behavior ???

@Sonix
With ASUS BIOS 3801 I have no such error message like you have posted at 3588#, so i assume my BIOS is correct (no FFFFF pattern reported in dump as reported at 3587#)
In 3584# post you refer to a "first line" with FFFF patern.
What exactly is the 'firts line' ? I assume you are refering to to the octets just after the pattern "_FIT_" ? In my case there are no 'FFFFFF..' octets.
But before the "_FIT_" pattern I have the 'FFFF.." octets.
Please, can you clarify so I can be sure if the modded BIOS file is correct.
Thanks again for your work.

If your address in the first line does not equal 0xFFFFFFFF, then it's good.
Usually such a value appears if:
1) BIOS AptioV and MMT5.2
2) There is no "Empty" file in the BIOS.

@Sonix,
Thanks, I have this dump for the Aptio V 3801 BIOS modded with MMT5.2:

The zero offset line is not filled with 0xFFFFFFFF , so I do conclude this BIOS file is correct.
