Hello again all. I have another problem with a different BIOS this time. I would like to use UBU to update the beta bios (F9b) for my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7, but I cannot get the micro codes to update. When replacing them, it gets to the mCode FFS: line and seems to freeze. No error is displayed and I have to close the window. I have pictures of what I am doing. :)

Here are some screenshoots when modding BIOS 2013 of ASUS PRIME-Z390M Plus motherboard:

Video onboard option does seem strange:


Network option is OK:


For Option 5 what is your opinion ?


Is it a know problem ?
Is it related to antivirus conflict ?

@Sonix

1) I have whitelisted into my antivirus application (IOBIT Malware Fighter in my case) all the program components of UBU Tool.
You should recommend to do it into the main UBU Tool menu.

2) I have replaced MCExtractor with the last versions (the two MCE items)

3) I have tested Option 5 and get successfull µCode updates into the BIOS as reported:





Cosmetic: For the next UBU Tool Release the specific "MSI X299" options should be more clearly presented separatly from the standard "M" option.

Thanks again for your help and your extraordinary tool.

@SoniX Thanks for showing me the best ones to use. How come I cannot update the OROM? I have tried everything I can think of.

Because you have named it 0rom instead of Orom.

Ugh...sorry about that. I spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. For some reason I was thinking it was an issue with the .efi file. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hi all,

I would like to update the bios file myself because asus doenst do it and i would like to run my overclock on my Asus X99A-II board. So i stumbled upon this website to update the microcode. When following the guide i came across a problem, when launching UBU.BAT it freeze's after OROM - find & extract. The steps that i have followed:
1: downloaded "UBU_v1.70.rc20.1_updated-01-31-2019_without-MMTool" and extracted to C:\UBU
2: downloaded "MMTool 5.02_patched" and extracted to C:\UBU
3: downloaded latest bios version (1902) from asus website and extracted to C:\UBU
4: Run UBU.BAT as administrator

Now the window freezes (see attachment). Does anybody know why or what i am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Any antivirus compatibility problem with all UBU folder components ?
For instance, I have to whitelist all the UBU folder components when I do use IOBit Malware Fighter.

I do agree totally, UBU tool has never contained any malware or virus.
It is to the Malware application providers to adapt their product.
In the mean time, I do recommend to whitelist all the UBU components and so be never stopped abruptly in the middle of UBU process without any error message as I had observed.

In UBU v1.70 rc20.1 and 1.71 Dev Test when I choose 1 - Disk Controller I get the following:

Disk Controller
[Current version]
EFI IRST RAID for SATA - 13.5.0.2164
OROM IRST RAID for SATA - 13.5.0.2164

[Available version]
There are no files to update in Files\intel \RST(e) folders.
Press any key to continue . . .

Where do I get the needed files from?
