So.

I have an issue with my X370 ASRock motherboard where it refuses to reflash the same version BIOS. Any idea how to get around this?

Are you using the built in BIOS flashing utility (within the BIOS)? If yes, maybe flash old version first, then reflash new version again.

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!

My MB is an MSI x99A Godlike Gaming Carbon...
The Intel RST it calls for is 14.8.0.1042
I checked it with the UBU Utility and it is 14.8.0.2377
I was hoping for 14.8.2.2397
Is there a way to get it to that version?
I have done some simple UBU automatic updating but not complex

Thanks......

@SoniX

Ok thanks
Any version of MMTool can not open this bios or I can tried with a patched MMTool (I saw this in your archive but I do not know what it is) ?

Or Asus blocked this bios and it is no longer possible to modify it with UBU ?

EDIT: No problem to open the bios directly in MMTool

Really? @tistou77 I tested too trying to see what's going on, didn't open for me. Which MMTool version did you use? Right click on title bar, choose about to find version. I only tried 5.02.0024 patched and it wouldn't open there, I even rebuilt BIOS to get rid of all the parsing errors shown in UEFITool, same after that too.
Whatever version it is, you can drop in UBU folder and rename the original MMTool for a bit (.bak) and then have only this working MMTool version that you opened BIOS with in UBU folder named MMTool.exe and then UBU will work

Zitat von SoniX im Beitrag #4103
In BIOSes MSI x299, the PEI volume, where the container with microcodes is located, has a fixed size, and any change thereof leads to a brick.

There are two ideas, but they require testing.
[Method 1]
The first idea is to delete all microcodes, and put new ones in the "Empty" that is in DXE-volume.
[Method 2]
The second idea is known. With the help of MMTool, first remove all the microdots, and then insert new ones. But you will not be able to return all microcodes if their total size is larger than that already exists in the BIOS.

PS I hope that the method 1 will be a working option.

Add:
These methods are available in UBU v1.70 b12.

I successfully used Method 1, the DXE-Volume, to update the microcode in the MSI X299 SLI Plus v1.B rom file (E7A93IMS.1B0) from 4D to 55. UBU v17 RC18.3 with patched MMTool v5.2.0.24 was used. The new Microcode version shows up in the BIOS information page and in Windows.

One little problem: on every reboot, during the POST the bios complains about "detected a new cpu or ram" and offers me to enter the bios or continue booting with cmos defaults.
I can circumvent this by disabling "detect cpu and ram change on bootup" in the advanced settings of the bios (onyl visible after enabling expert oc options), but it should be working without changing this setting.

So please consider this post a confirmation for the DXE-method for MSI X299 boards, but with some footnotes attached.

Thanks so much

Can you do a 1603 mod with
- Microcode 49 (after 4D, the cores heat up on Skylake-X)
- EFI & ROM RST 17.0.0.3592
- EFI LAN 0.22 & Boot Agent CL 0.1.13

Thanks so much
