Ok! Now I am making some updates in Ubu. Also true of the ability to update IRST OROM and EFI 13.5.0.2118.
But of course I would like to see the results of testing version 13.5.0.2118. And then a lot of talk, but no good there.

Fernando & SoniX:

Guys, I'm not disagreeing with you. I know that the oROMs have nothing to do when the system is running in AHCI. I know that pretty much everything after v12.9 oROMs won't bring any performance benefit for Z77 when running in RAID. BUT, the drivers do matter. My objection has to do with driver support, not oROM.

Basically, it would be beneficial to still have v13.1.0.2126 oROM ONLY in case you frequently switch between AHCI & RAID for some reason. Truth is, most people don't do that. I thought it would be a good idea to keep it. If you think it's a longshot (very rare use-case) then yes, I guess it should be removed alltogther.

So you agree with us?

Example -> RAID: When Windows 10 is out, I won't want to install v12.9.x or 13.1.x drivers because they might not work properly with the new OS or there might be bugs. So, it's beneficial to install the latest drivers (let's say v14.0.x) together with the latest RAID oROM (let's say the same branch v14.0.x) for maximum driver-firmware compatibility at the OS.

The (old) Intel RST RAID driver/OROM combo v11.2 will run fine with Windows 10 and probably stay the best performant and stable combo for Intel RAID0 systems.

Example -> AHCI: When Windows 10 is out (also applies to Windows 8.1), I will have to install the last v13.1.0.1058 RST AHCI drivers (if I decide to not use any modded drivers) because these are the last ones to officially support Z77 AHCI. In that case, the "compatible"/same branch oROM is v13.1.0.2126.

Since AHCI users don't need to care about the Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver of their BIOS, they can compare all available AHCI drivers, which do support their Intel SATA AHCI Controller and use the "best" of them.
By the way: I am pretty sure, that Intel will offer new Win10 compatible Intel AHCI drivers v13, which natively will support 7-Series Chipset systems.

Whoops! :)
In general, returned back to the ability to update IRST v13.5 on MB with 7-series chipset.

That sounds good. So you meant: no restriction anymore for 7-Series Chipset users.

That's why I said: "Basically, it would be beneficial to still have v13.1.0.2126 oROM ONLY in case you frequently switch between AHCI & RAID for some reason". Otherwise, indeed when it comes to AHCI only the drivers matter (check for stability and performance) and not the firmware.

I hope so. My guess is that it will be old Intel drivers modified by Microsoft to include the Z77 AHCI device ID's like it's done on older hardware at newer operating systems.

Hi Sonix,
the 2180 Version Orom VBIOS Haswell is available? Why not integrate into UBU?

Hi all!

Just to note a minor issue in latest UBU v1.8.12: I think it is missing BRenamer.exe. Also, there is an empty "FFS" folder under Modules>VGA>GOP folder.

Keep the good work SoniX!

Yes. Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge and Haswell VBIOS differences and modification (13)

Because VBIOS for Haswell and Broadvell require individual settings for each motherboard. Look at this thread, I give a simple description of how to do it.

Am I understanding this correctly - this gives AHCI support?

In Previous version of UBU, if you had not a intel 8 or 9 series your were unable to upgrade to 13.5 on intel 7 series, in this latest version SoniX unlock the restriction of 8 et 9 series only, so you are able to install it on intel 7 series (for Raid purpose), that's all i think.

Thank you for your comments. I have uploaded the correct archive file.

Thank you for the prompt correction!
Meanwhile I have replaced the UBU tool v1.8.12,which I had uploaded yesterday to my OneDrive account, by the new silently corrected package.
To avoid any misunderstandings by the users I have renamed it to "UBU_v1812_corrected". Additionally I have added a note regarding the silent update to the "Changelog" chapter within the start post of this thread.
