spakk Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Forget it. Native CPU power management is not compatible with AMD CPUs. So even if the MSR register turns out to be locked, unlocking it would serve no purpose. thanks for your fast response, Gringo Vermelho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteinshake Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Happy new year everyone. The good: PMPatch 0.5.14 working fine on Asus P8C-WS Bios 3402, PowerManagement module at 0040DAF8 patched. The bad: AFUDOS 3.5.0.2 using /GAN switch flashes patched file, no problem. PowerManagement remains untouched though. The solution: anyone? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 proteinshake, buy yourself a cheap SPI programmer and forget about flashing problems at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteinshake Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 CodeRush.. that would require the board to have a dedicated SPI-connector, right? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nope. Your SPI chip(s) are not soldered to MB, but inserted in DIP-sockets and can be easily ejected. Click a ling to BIOS hotswap guide in my signature, there is a picture of SPI chip in socket there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteinshake Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nice, thanks! I didn't notice the chip was socketed at all (haven't seen that in a while..) - Asus just made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsubakiSama Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hello. Would you be able to patch my Asus Z87-A bios please? I uploaded the latest bios here http://www.speedyshare.com/CmTSj/Z87-A-ASUS-1707.zip Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 TsubakiSama, have you even tried to use PMPatch before asking me to do it for you? Your board has no USB support, it's useless to patch that BIOS file - you couldn't flash it. Read the FAQ section about flashing modified BIOS on ASUS boards without UBF, please.

Joni_78 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I tried to patch my HP 8570p BIOS (QM77). Does this look ok? Tests-MacBook-Air:~ test$ /Users/test/Downloads/PMPatch /Users/test/Desktop/68ICF\ Ver.\ F.45/68ICF/Rom.bin /Users/test/Desktop/68ICF\ Ver.\ F.45/68ICF/Rom0xE2.bin PMPatch 0.5.14 PowerManagement modules not found. PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi modules not found. AMI nest modules not found. Trying to apply patch #1 Nested PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi module at 00D2EB50 patched. Phoenix nest module at 00030048 patched. CpuPei modules not found. Output file generated. Tests-MacBook-Air:~ test$ Any tips on flashing it, should it flash it on Windows with HPQFlash utility or with some third party tool? Also anyone know what happens when BIOS flashing goes bad on HP laptops, can you retry to flash it again or do I need to buy a new mobo if that happens?

josepi09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ramalama, done, flash it using "afu /gan" method. ux301rom.pm.zip josepi09, have you tried this? Yes but, unfortunately my motherboard is not supported by afudos, it uses BUpdater... and BUpdater does nothing... I tried under windows XP and windows 7 and nothing happened..

CodeRush Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Any AMI-based board supports AFUDOS, ASUS included. Please try /GAN method described in FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josepi09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Any AMI-based board supports AFUDOS, ASUS included. Please try /GAN method described in FAQ. I get ""BIOS does not support AFU" when trying to do anything under afudos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Coderush was referring to the pmpatch FAQ in the first post. About using afudos, there's plenty of help if you simply google afudos, even youtube videos. First thing to do is create a bootable DOS flash drive and copy afudos and the bios file to it. Do this from Windows, or from Windows in a virtual machine on your hack. There are plenty of free tools designed specifically for the purpose of making a bootable DOS flash drive. One some motherboards you may need to enable legacy USB support in the BIOS in order to be able to boot from a USB flash drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 josepi09, you need to use AFUDOS for Aptio. Grab it from the archive linked above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josepi09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Done using AFUDOS, I was able to backup my current bios ver 0701. then I used PMPatch to it and found the module ect.., and then I flashed using the afudos patched.bin /gan. It said. Readind flash.........DONE - ME Data Size Checking . ok Erasing All Block.....DONE Updating All Block.....DONE Verifying All Block.....DONE But when I reboot, re-backup my current bios, and use PMPatch again it tells me Power Module patched at XXXXX location... So I guess something is wrong... Edit: I was able to downgrade to 0402 Bios. However, I was not able to upgrade to 0701 Patched, afudos said something about security check missing... and again using the GAN method, seems to leave untouched the Power Management part because everytime I re-backup my patched bios PMPatch tells me it needs to be patched. Things tried : afudos PATCHED_CAP /gan method (success but powermanagement is untouched) afudos backup (success) using : afudos BACKUP.CAP /o pmpatch (success) using: pmpatch BACKUP.CAP NEWFILE.CAP afudos downgrade (success from 0701 to 0402) using : afudos CAP /p /b /n /k afudos PATCHED_CAP (fails: working with bios version 0402 to 0701 and 0402) using : afudos PATCHED_CAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
