nonconformistconformist Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Something is wrong. afuwinx64 freezes my computer. I follow the instructions but afuwin just crashes my tower. Whats the newest afuwin? I google, but nothing shows up. EIDT: Downloaded newest AMIflash zip file. Lots of folders and other zip files in there. I'll do some reading and hopefully I'll be able to patch this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagtuck Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks for this super cool utility CodeRush! I'm trying to patch my Haswell MSI H81M-E33. This is the output: PMPatch 0.5.14PowerManagement modules not found. PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi module at 002C4518 patched. AMI nest modules not found. Phoenix nest modules not found. CpuPei module at 007AF9C0 not patched: Patch pattern not found. Output file generated. Am I ready to go? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonconformistconformist Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 flagtuck, you should be good to go. I too have an MSI mobo, but the flash utility freezes my pc. Please let me know if you are successful, also, are you running 64 or 32 bit windows and what version. 7 or 8 or earlier? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagtuck Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I used the utility on one of my other hackintoshes. It took a few tries to get the correct process. I recommend looking on youtube if you are having problems. I can boot the uni thumbdrive to instal 10.8 but can't get past the black screen. I tried two different video cards that work in other hacks. I'm totally guessing at the bios settings so I have a bunch of things to try along with boot flags.

nonconformistconformist Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 your mobo boots to mac without a 3rd party gpu? I got mine to boot, but for some reason I plug in my 550Ti and I can't get to BIOS at all. I tried a GUI version of the bios updater. If you search for the American Megatrends BIOS flash utility, theres a few in the rar file. Most of them didn't work for me or would freeze my computer outright. Then I tried the GUI one wich had a bunch of features that I did not quite understand. SO..it's possible that my mobo was not patched. But. I can install 10.9. But ##### takes a dump when I install a bootloader. Major PITA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Stay on topic please, discussion of general installation, GPU and boot loader (especially the TonyMac variety) issues doesn't belong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiecldk Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 @CodeRush I found two ways written by you to flash my friend's ASUS X202E laptop (with AMI Aptio Bios): http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-pmpatch-uefi-patching-utility/?p=1885334 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-pmpatch-uefi-patching-utility/?p=1893689 Which way do you think is safer? Or is there other way you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonconformistconformist Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I thought this was a place for people to help others just trying to get a goddamn install working. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 We have several subforums dedicated to getting your goddamn install working. Please understand that this particular topic is about PMPatch. As a moderator it's part of my job description to make sure that it stays that way. Too much off topic discussion in development topics tend to chase important developers away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 shiecldk, none of them. They were OK at their time, but now AMI enabled BIOS region lock and Intel FPT becomes useless. Use "afu /gan" method described in the FAQ. starfish_crackwhore, I can understand your feelings, but Gringo Vermelho is right - your problems in flashing modified BIOS aren't any PMPatch related, nor I can solve it in any way. Buy yourself a cheap SPI programmer and forget about that kind of problems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 As I have said several times before, off topic posts, like the one that I've just deleted, will be deleted without warning. This topic is not for discussion of issues that aren't related to PMPatch. It's okay to discuss: - Other means of modifying your BIOS in order to unlock the MSR 0xE2 register in cases where pmpatch doesn't work. - BIOS flashing or programming, as long as it pertains to unlocking the MSR 0xE2 register. And, for the love of god please read the first post before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaingame Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So...I just ask if i must flash my bios, and how ??? Cause i don't boot anymore, stuck on AIPCM and Ox3a My Motherboard : Asus Z77-A with an i7 3770k Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Why ask something covered by FAQ? Yes, you need to patch your BIOS for ASUS Z77, it's ASUS, so you need to use either USB BIOS Flashback (if supported) or AFU, if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 AFU it is, the Z77-A does not have USB BIOS Flashback (I checked the manual). Alain: Google AFUDOS or Ami Flash Utility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 There is nothing to google, the method itself is linked in the FAQ and the latest AFU version can always be downloaded from AMI site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesupercatman Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi, i am using an asus z87-pro motherboard. Everytime i try to use the patcher with the newest bios .CAP file from there website, the green light stays solid lit, indicating that it does not work. The file is on the root of the usb drive, and it is formated in the FAT 32 format. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Try another USB-drive, there are manz incompatible ones. Or just use AFU /gan method linked in FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesupercatman Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have tried using another usb, and the method is kind of confusing. I tried it with the afuwinx64 but it kept saying "no drivers." Still not working, any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
