StoneTemplePilots Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Sorry, I missed that post. Here is a link to the original bios download: ZOTAC H87ITX-A-E BIOS and update utility Many thanks for your help. That link obviously is for the bios before doing the PMpatch, and if it worked right for me the file "newbios" in my zip was simply the one patched by Coderush's utility under windows. Flashing my newbios file to the board failed (under DOS using the various tools) as it gave me a response along the lines that a secure session could not be performed. Try this one, it's flashlock removed + pmpatched + FFS checksums corrected. Should be possible to start a secure flash session now. If it works you can use even fpt or flashrom. When it's done and you had no probs to flash it I'll explain in detail how to do it yourself next time ; ) pa287.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRush Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 BonBon6, security verification has nothing to do with FFS checksums (which must be corrected for any sectioned file), so it can't be bypassed so easily. AMI Aptio BIOSes have extended capsule header, where RSA2048 signature and SHA1 checksum of whole BIOS are located. Checksum can be corrected, but signature is a problem. Phoenix and InsydeH2O BIOSes have normal capsule header but extended volume headers with the same signature. If you don't have an AMI or Phoenix private key stolen - you can't sign your modified BIOS, I think. I wish I'm wrong, BTW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CodeRush, I read at MDL the ROMs can be flashed again when using OA30.txt key with new module option - but looks like that's possible only on Asus boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrian Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 @ CodeRush I have tried the PMPatch WinVers. 0.5.13 on the 7720A15.exe of the Dell bios for Inspiron 17R SE 7720 (i7 3630qm) without success. On the with Universal Bios Backup Toolkit 2.0 backuped DellInc.-A15.rom done PMPatch I have got this output: PMPatch 0.5.13PowerManagement modules not found.PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi modules not found.AMI nest modules not found.Trying to apply patch #1Nested PowerMgmtDxe/powerManagement2.efi module at 003429A8 patched.Phoenix nest module at 00280048 patched.CpuPei modules not found.Output file generated. Is it save to flash this patched rom? I have read about some bricked SE 7720 with i7 3630 after flashing a moded unlocked bios. Which tool should I use for flashing the patched rom? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeWalker75a Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 it's not safe in the first place because Universal Bios Backup tool clearly states it cannot guarantee it's making a complete copy of your BIOS chip. Unpack the OEM .exe with either 7zip or start the updater and got to %TEMP% (Win+R > %TEMP%) and copy the flasher folder that contains the bios capsule. Then patch the capsule with PMPatch, reflash using original WinFlash flasher utility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneTemplePilots Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks! So I patch it again in Parallels. I found out the MD5 are the same although the offset is reported different. Yes, maybe due to different lzma-libs on windows and unix/linux tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiz329 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Nothing to do here with software methods now, if your ASUS x8x board doesn't support USB BIOS Flashback. There is no way to flash modified BIOS on such boards, except external SPI programmer. I heard some rumors about AMI Flash Utility able to flash BIOS on this platform, but I have no chance to test, that is why I don't recommend to try, unless you have SPI programmer to correct possible failure. But if you ask me about that, it appears that you don't have one. I am having this same problem. I was told that this board (H87i-plus) most likely had the MSR unlocked. Is this true? If not, am I able to flash the board using FTK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
