I guess I will try it out one day. Need to buy a NVME SSD to play with... Also if I would start doing the bios mods, I may as well do the AMI UEFI Bios updates, but they are confusing, need to read and learn more. Thanks

I checked it via the size. The modded BIOS was slightly bigger than the original by a few kilobytes but it was under the size limit as I didn't get an error. My installation USB has been properly formatted with Rufus, FAT 32, ect and I tested it on another computer to ensure I got the UEFI option and I could see both the UEFI and the non-UEFI option.

I removed all the devices from the laptop, including the DVD drive and only had the Samsung 950 NVMe drive in. I can see it in the BIOS but I don't get the UEFI option. :(

Hello! I found this modified version of the P8Z77-V Deluxe since it had many options, which I used as a base to add NVMe support and it has been working like a charm so far (yeah, it's a mod of a mod). However, I can't seem to find the WOL option on the BIOS anywhere and I think the original editor removed it by accident and I can't seem to find a way to add it back in. Does anyone know how you can unlock the function again? It used to be working on the original unmodified BIOS just fine.

On my Asus MB (X99A-II) in the Bios PCI devices power On must be Enabled , their is no mention of WOL in the Bios but have a look at this thread on Ten Forums for more info on how I set it up...

@FlameEye6 ,
You must have a corrupt bios if your WOL option doesn't come up. I would bet that needed network ffs modules were deleted to make space for mods thus no more WOL.


EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post removed and inserted image replaced by a much smaller sized directly attached one (to save space within this thread, the inserted screenshot can easily be enlarged by cicking onto it)

I Fernando i try to update my BIOS with the modified one by means of the ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility, but when i do the first loading (Do you want to read this file?) i click OK and a new message "Security verification failed" appears. How can i proceed to update the BIOS? Because this error with the original bios is never appears.

Hi Fernando, i try to update my BIOS with the USB Flashport. It seems work fine. As soon as i recive from AMAZON the SSD 960 EVO i install it in the Hyper M.2 X4 MINI Expansion Card, and i write if i'll found some problem.
For now TY. If the procedure works fine i'll do a donation.

If the modded BIOS should be bigger sized than the original BIOS (even 1 Byte size difference makes it unusable), you should not even try to flash it. The entire size of the modded BIOS file has to be absolutely identical with the size of the origina BIOS file.

How very interesting. I used the BIOS tool you suggested in your write up and did the steps as shown. I even redid them when you suggested using the MSDOS flash tool but first making a copy of the existing bios called BACKUP.rom and modded that ROM and flashed it. The sizes of the two files are different for some reason. I'll go back and try it again. I'll make the backup, mod it by simply inserting that one FFS of yours, name it modified.rom and use the DOS flash tool to flash it using the /gan option.

**EDIT** Okay I used DOS to verify the before and after sizes. You are right they are the same using the method described above. That being said, booted into BIOS with only the NVMe drive in and my freshly formatted USB using FAT 32, ect. My desktop sees the UEFI version on the flash drive but the Laptop doesn't see it nor does it give me the option to choose it. I can see the Samsung 950 Pro drive just fine.

I believe your system works. I have seen many on the boards use it and have it work. I have also seen someone with the exact same laptop model I have had say they tried it all and couldn't get it to work so my guess is there is something else in the BIOS file preventing the APTIO BIOS from seeing it. I wish Asus would have given us a BIOS that was UEFI like they did with the next generation of G75x laptops. :)

Furthermore I think, that the new module should have been successfully tested by someone, who has an Intel Chipset system with an AMI Aptio UEFI BIOS and a modern NVMe SSD like the Samsung 960 Series, before I am going to replace the 100% working NVMe module, which is currently offered within the start post.
