I want to update my laptop BIOS, which is a AMI UEFI BIOS. It is ME 9.5. I backed up bios file with fpt command. I need to update EFI modules and modify Mainboard Manufacturer, Mainboard Name, boot logo. I am not sure which UBU tool to use.
Here is my bios backup.

plutomaniac once warned below.
"Don't use MMTool5 to modify an Aptio IV platform. Use MMTool4 instead. Don't use UBU for a laptop unless you know what to do and what not. In this case only RST, PXE and Microcode can be updated via this utility. Nothing else."

Looks like a Dell Xps 13,but which series?

Dell Xps 13 updated bios based on your v4.6.5 (8/8/2014)

Updating management engine firmware also recommended,
Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools

As rule of thumb,keep your OS,apps,bios and drivers updated

EFI/OROM Intel RST for SATA - 12.9.0.2006
EFI GOP Driver HSW-BDW - 5.5.1034
RAW GOP VBT HASWELL - 170
OROM VBIOS Haswell - 2170
EFI Intel Gigabit UNDI - 0.1.00
OROM Intel Boot Agent CL - 0.1.16
