magnifico Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 And it will be done as soon as I have enough time for programming. My exam session ended 2 days ago, and in 2-3 weeks I will finally have some time for PMPatch successor I've planned to write about 3 months ago. wishes for your exam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagi-G Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hey! I got myself a Z87-A/Haswell, I'm trying to patch the bios and get: -------------------------------------------------- pmpatch Z87-A-ASUS-1207.CAP Z87A-Patched.CAP PMPatch 0.5.13 PowerManagement modules not found. PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi module at 002B8740 patched. AMI nest modules not found. Phoenix nest modules not found. CpuPei module at 0066FE20 not patched: Patch pattern not found. CpuPei module at 0076FE20 not patched: Patch pattern not found. Output file generated. But now when I try to update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2 , it says Security Verfication failed, any ideas what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 If your board supports USB Bios Flashback - use it. If not - only hardware SPI programmer can help, dump your current BIOS, patch this dump and flash it back with a programmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagi-G Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nope =\ no UBF.. will there be an easier way other than using SPI Programmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 No. If you have a PC with P67/Z68/Z77-based board - you can use it as programmer. There is a protection of BIOS region, which is can't be suppressed now, so external programming is the single option for modified BIOS. Hope this protection will be broken some day, but now - this it the only solution I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagi-G Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I see thanks for the reply.. unfortunetly I don't have any of these boards, since I just bought the pc last week I'm contacting the vendor to see if they can replace the motherboard with one that has UBF, In the meanwhile I read abou a tool called "Phoenix tool" do you think it might help?

CodeRush Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Nope. PhoenixTool is a great tool to make BIOS modifications of any kind, but have already done the modification and your problem is flashing the modified BIOS. I don't know any other solution for ASUS x87 boards without UBF support then an external programmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 does removing the first 1000h of .cap doesnt work anymore ? i saw someone say they had to flash first bios .. then they were able to flash latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 No. It was 100h, AFAIR. ASUS Z87 boards have that stupid BIOS region protection, that prevents modified BIOSes from flashing. This has nothing in comman with that 100h removal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 so maybe.. just maybe if they flash old bios .. then try new in dos without 100h ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 There are no "old" BIOSes for that boards, first ones are already protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonydickinson Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I must say that I too am annoyed with Asus for this new BIOS region protection, however I recently had an experience with a Gigabyte board and tried a number of different 3rd part BIOS that are around, and some of them assured me that Asus are not being as awkward as I first imagined, as some of the 3rd part fixes cause real issues. @Coderush did you ever get anywhere with Asus regarding this issue as it must affect their sales. I have tried a few times to get through to them but have never had a satisfactory response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, read Tito's post at MDL regarding OA30 - I wasn't even aware about the fact, that Phoenix Tools has the signing key included ; ) so it's possible to re-sign & flash an ASUS UEFI with help of PT. best regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrantonStrangler Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hello, I'm working with an ASUS P8Z77-V LE. I was transferred here after installing OSX Mountain Lion using tonymacx86 products. I can't get OSX to boot by itself (without bootable USB), so I've installed some kext files etc. I always have to also boot with PCIRootUID=0. tonymac's utility program holds a fix to set PCIRootUID=1 but that won't work. Anywho, I've also read to patch my bios ( since I'm using an ASUS board ) but in http://biosrepo.wordpress.com/asus/'>this list, my board isn't listed. So I've been referred to PMPatch. I've downloaded my latest BIOS (.CAP) file and downloaded PMpatch. I've followed the guide and tried to patch my bios. Getting this output: It would be awesome if I could get help solving my problem(s)! Thanks in advance, regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
