Thank you for the help. I dont know why it doesnt work because I copy, paste and click OK, but uefitool dont find nothing(I have also tried writing it by myself).
Here are some screenshots:

@NothingToSay

Then search by word - $VBT
Just do not confuse with OROM VBIOS. You will understand in size that if 65KB, then this is OROM. And you need 4-6kB.

the things i gave you was it usefull?

Thank you, now I have seen the vbt files, but I have other problem.
When I edit the vbt settings(changing resolution to have landscape instead of portrait display) in the raw file that I have extracted(vbt.bin) and replace it; when I flash bios the screen doesnt work, it is all time black.

If you or anyone can help me here are some screenshoots of the settings I have changed:

Old vbt.bin:


New vbt.bin:

Excuse me, but I did not understand what the problem is?
Your motherboard ASRock Z77 Pro4
Latest original main BIOS v1.80, OROM VBIOS v2137. Extract as vbios.dat
Latest mod OROM VBIOS v2170. Mod frrom v2137 and Save as vbiossib.dat

Am I missing s.th.?

Last question:
I also want to update both Intel GOP drivers from Z77 Pro4, update both to Intel-IvyBridge_GopDriver_v3.0.1030 and Intel_SandyBridge_GopDriver_v2.0.1024.

I cannot find any GOP VBT configuration file for SNB/IVB in "Intel_GOP_VBT_r3.7.7z".
Well I have updated Intel GOP driver on my Z77 Pro4, and left out, the BMP-Tool step with transferring any GOP VBT settings, and Z77 Pro4 boots and works fine and can see picture on boot-up via the CPU-iGPU etc.

Do I have to transfer any GOP VBT setttings for updating on Intel-IvyBridge_GopDriver_v3.0.1030 and Intel_SandyBridge_GopDriver_v2.0.1024, because I cannot find any compatible GOP VBT file nor any GOP VBT configuration (.bsf) for Intel-IvyBridge_GopDriver_v3.0.1030 and Intel_SandyBridge_GopDriver_v2.0.1024 in your packages. And I also can't find anything about SNB/IVB GOP VBT from your "Table VBT OROM VBIOS Version and Size.docx" nor "Table GOP VBT SKYLAKE.docx". I also couldn't find any other package download offer for SNB/IVB GOP-VBT.
And the maybe closest thing in the package "Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165\vbt.bin" and "Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165" are not suitable either, (different size, "125Intel(R) HSW Mobile/Desktop PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
Build Number: 2125 PC 14.34 10/12/2011 21:48:30[u]
DE etc., not suitable either, I propose.


So aLso for this case, do I have to transfer any GOP VBT setttings for updating from "Z77PRO42.0"-firmware the EFI GOP driver IvyBridge 3.0.1013, and EFI GOP Driver SandyBridge 2.0.1014, to Intel-IvyBridge_GopDriver_v3.0.1030 and Intel_SandyBridge_GopDriver_v2.0.1024 ?

(As I cannot find any GOP VBT configuration file download offered, for transferring original GOP VBT setting to the new GOP VBT for updated Intel SNB and IVB EFI GOP driver,
so I'd conclude, for and/or for EFI mode e.g. I don't need to transfer any GOP VBT settings (Asrock Z77 Pro4) ??

@Vincent12

You can use any version of VBIOS, within your GPU line.
It is only important to transfer the VBT settings from the old version to the new one.

There are 2 ways.
1) If the versions and sizes of the VBT are the same, then we simply use the CloneVBT.
2) Otherwise we use iBMP.

In general, updating OROM VBIOS is good for mobile devices. For desktop, it makes no sense, since there will be practically no difference.
And if the full UEFI mode is used, then the OROM VBIOS is not needed at all, since the GOP driver is used.

3) Extract file as body. Example: 'old_vbt.bin'
4) Look at the version of the VBT. You can see using the utilities:

1
2
3
4
5


drvver old_vbt.bin
or
clonevbt old_vbt.bin



5) Open iBMP and choice old_vbt.bin and BSF desired version.
6) Save All setting/ Example: 'vbt_set.ssf'. And close Window.
7) Open new fle VBT. Example 221 - vbt.bin and vbt.bsf
8) Open file 'vbt_set.ssf' and Apply All setting and Save file- Example: new_vbt.bin'.
8.1) You may have to adjust some of the settings you need. Check them out.
9) Open BIOS file in UEFITool v0.2x and find GOP VBT, see 2)
10) Replace as body and Save BIOS file
Done.

* 10) UBU 1.75.1. Only HSW+ and SKL+.
Put the 'new_vbt.bin' as 'vbthsw.bin' for HSW+ or as 'vbtskl.bin' for SKL+ files in the "Files\Intel\VBIOS" folder.

---

The problems is I fear I'm stuck at step 5)

Can I use any VBT+VBT-BSF configuration file, even from Haswell, and newer to create a transfer.sff ??
One for SNB GOP-VBT (transfer_IVB.sff):
"\Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165\Z77_Pro4_mod_File_Raw_IntelSnbGopVbt_body.raw"
"\Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165\vbt.bsf"

, and other one for SNB GOP-VBT (transfer_IVB.sff):
"\Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165\Z77_Pro4_mod_File_Raw_IntelIGopVbt_body.raw"
"\Intel_GOP_VBT_r3\HSW\165\vbt.bsf"

And see attachment.

Your motherboard has the GOPs in
Intel GOP VBT GUID 878AC2CC-5343-46F2-B563-51F89DAF56BA
Intel GOP VBT GUID 0F729F33-25C1-41A7-86B2-23A737A91823

UBU gives you the versions:
RAW GOP VBT SNB/IVB-MOBILE - 165
RAW GOP VBT SNB/IVB-MOBILE - 165

Look into "Table VBT OROM VBIOS Version and Size.docx", find 2124 - 2132 corresponding to 165

Open your GOPs with the corresponding bsf-file (here snd_2132.bsf for desktop)

Create transfer files

Transfer settings to new GOPs 174


(Your motherboard does have a socketed bios chip. Do yourself a favour and buy a cheap CH341 programmer and some empty chips! Testing will be less troublesome!)

[Edit]Sry, too much text from me removed.

Yep I had already understood, but thanks for reminding me, if that when you update VBIOS-OROM (which includes an VBT in it),
that you need to transfer the original old OROM-VBIOS-VBT setttings to the new VBIOS-OROM to update to
(which also includes a VBT, but with different and/or no settings, of course).

Yes I had followed that already, and works fine.
I'd like to update also the EFI GOP driver (like an EFI-VBIOS?) from my Asrock Z77 Pro4.

As far as I understood, The EFI GOP VBT is in a GUID, but seperated from the GUID with the EFI-GOP-VBIOS (or EFI GOP driver or how to call it).

When I update the EFI-GOP-driver, do I need /always need to update the EFI-GOP-VBT as well?
Because I cannot find any matching update GOP-VBT, because the oldest one is for Haswell Plattform only(!)
And if I need to update the EFI-GOP-VBT for my SNB/IVB platform when updating EFI GOP driver,
could you confirm/explain that also for step 5) from which package (Intel_GOP_VBT_r3.7z" or Intel_VBIOS_and_BSF ?) what you mean with "BSF desire version".
Because it's more confusing for me now, after I got some "hint" to use "\Intel_VBIOS_and_BSF\SNBIVB\2132\Desktop\snd_2132.bsf" for updating EFI-GOP-VBT"
which is more confusing for me, because had feeling it was NOT correct for updating EFI-GOP_VBT:

I'm not sure if lfb6 and I were talking/not talking about cross purposes:

Transferring settings GOP VBT from the old version to the new one.
For the correct operation of the EFI Intel GOP Driver, an external configuration file of the GOP VBT is required.
GOP VBT file in structure is similar to VBT which is located in OROM VBIOS, but has its own specific features. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to use BSF from OROM or vice versa.

1) Open BIOS file in UEFITool
2) Find string as Hex
00F82456425420
{...}
3) Extract file as body. Example: 'old_vbt.bin'
4) Look at the version of the VBT. You can see using the utilities:
{...}

5) Open iBMP and choice old_vbt.bin and BSF desired version.
6) Save All setting/ Example: 'vbt_set.ssf'. And close Window.
7) Open new fle VBT. Example 221 - vbt.bin and vbt.bsf
8) Open file 'vbt_set.ssf' and Apply All setting and Save file- Example: new_vbt.bin'.

Hello guys. Can you help me ?
My Laptop is a 7Y30 with HD615, with a Panasonic MEI96A2 screen.

The problem is that in UEFI mode (GOP driver) my Panel is not recognized as MEI96A2, and my refresh rate is locked at 52Hz.
When I boot with the CSM enabled in "LEGACY" mode, the laptop uses the VBIOS, and everything run at 60Hz and the panel is recognized as MEI96A2.
It happen with the only bios I can use. Because in the previous bios, the screen turn ON and OFF (bug fixed in the 2018/Final bios released by the manufacturer).

Do you know how I could see and change the settings of the GOP driver ?
Do you know what could be the problem ?

Here is my post if you want more information :
[HELP] The unsettling bios from an inexperienced manufacturer

@vigan1

It is hard to say. Have you tried contacting Tech Support for your laptop? With such a problem, it is better to contact them first.

You have 2 BIOS from 2017 and from 2018.
I have not looked at BIOS, so the question is: in both versions of GOP driver 9.0.1053 and GOP VBT 209?

Thank you.
I contacted the manufacturer a lot in the last 2 years, they don't care.
They are one of the new Chinese laptop brand and don't seem to care (I asked many times to talk to an engineer and no response).
The bios was probably "outsourced" and they don't have internal tech I guess.

The last mail I send was last month and the response was :
"Yes, the latest and Final bios lock the refresh rate at 52Hz. Thank you."

So I am alone, sorry. But I decided to do something.

I downloaded Intel BSF, but I don't know how to extract the files from my 2 bios.
I posted the 2 bios in my thread, please look at them It's very hard for me.
I can't understand what I am doing.

@vigan1

Clear.
Good. Let's go in order.
You have 2 BIOS.
With BIOS 2017 you have no problems at UEFI.
With BIOS 2018, you already have problems in UEFI mode.
I understood you correctly?

Yes Exactly.
But the problem of the 2017 Bios is Screen flicker :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avbKTLrcZVg

The manufacturer fixed screen flicker in the 2018 bios, but now the refresh rate is locked and the screen is not recognized correctly.

Thank you very much.

@vigan1

You have 5 GOP VBT files.
I compared them. 4 files are identical.
Changes in only one file under GUID EFCB9C70-8705-41EF-939D-B7818C80E60E GOP VBT v203 This version is in the archive of the GOP VBT
I think this is your file that works in your laptop.

There are many options. You can try to configure the current GOP VBT.
You can try to update the GfP Driver and GOP VBT.

I hope you can work with UEFITool? And you can also figure out the settings in the iBMP.

Edit/Added:
Attached the source files of the GOP VBT from 2017 and 2018, which did not match.
