Arkanis Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 @Arkanis: I read your previous posts again and as far as I understand you cannot flash the modified BIOS? Try the method I described a few posts earlier (link). To summarize: 1. Backup using fpt, 2. Patch with PMPatch, 3. Flash using fpt. You can find more information about fpt in post #4. EDIT: I'm not sure fpt will work with your board. If it doesn't, you can try using flashrom instead. Kenny, Thank you for your reply, very kind of you. I tried PMPatch already but this is the message I get : PowerManagement module at 006cb690 not patched : Patch pattern not found. PowerMgmtDxe/PowerManagement2.efi modules not found. AMI nest modules not found. Phoenix nets modules not found. CpuPei module at 007c72b0 not patched: Patch pattern not found. My firmware is AptioV I believe from AMI, I know the board isn't the standard one since the Z9PE-D8 WS is a dual Xeon CPU board. I know it's MSR 0xE2 locked since the Asus guy confirmed that. I don't really know what to do next... :-/ and sadly I'm not enough well versed in binary coding to do this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3nny Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 @Arkanis: I see, however CodeRush already made a patch for your BIOS. You can try to make a dump of your BIOS region and send it to me via PN to modify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanis Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 K3nny:Thank you for your help, do you want me to dump the bios portion usin the AMI tools ? Or FPT that you linked ? (I can try both in fact and send both if you want).Thanks again, will send you the file in 30". sent !A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3nny Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 @Arkanis: Try fpt first and if it doesn't work, use AMI's tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanis Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks to k3nny the bios if finally MSR 0xE2 unlocked and patched AICPM is booting fine, thanks a lot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hih64 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hello Again Trying using pmpatch for my asus z87 pro reflash but still getting error kernel panic after first reboot instalation any help would be great ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrybogard21 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 @terrybogard21: Look at post #1365. So from my understanding, I need to make a DOS bootable USB drive. Run FPT; run the first CMD line to backup my current bios & then run the second CMD line to upload the patched bios I got off CodeRush's site? This should allow me to run OSX without the NULLCPUmanagement issue correct? Just seemed easier with FTK. Edit: I assume I did things correctly. Have no way based on the guides to check. I made a DOS-Bootable drive. Copied the FPT DOS version over. Renamed the Patched Bios for my motherboard to bios.mod Restart ~ ran the 1st command line then ran the 2nd command line waited for the FPT operation to finish. poweroff or any other commands didn't work so I did a simple restart Prayed I didn't just ruin a bios. System booted up with a bios number of 3903x64 down from 4101x64 that was the latest from ASUS. Guess the only next step is to try & install ML. Edit Edit: I also noticed that I was also getting the same error the above poster was when trying to use PMPatch within Windows to patch my own bios. The method I was doing, was probably incorrect.

k3nny Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 @terrybogard21: I don't see any error. If you mean hih64's screenshot, the output is fine as stated in the first post. @everyone else: Read the first post carefully. Stick to the instructions provided by CodeRush in his opening post. Everything you need is described there. Flashing with the /gan switch will bypass BIOS locks set by BLE bit and also descriptor region locks. FPT just makes things more complicated in this case.

k3nny Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 @rus54: What exactly do you need help with? The actual BIOS file can be found at the path I posted above. You can patch it using PMPatch and try to flash it using the tool in your archive. If it doesn't work, refer to the first post where alternative methods are described.

Easing5900 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've got an ASUS H87M-E - I've tried flashing with fpt.exe but I get an error when running the backup command: Error 201: [FPT.exe] cannot be run on the current platform. Please contact your vendor. Is this related to my motherboard or current BIOS or something else? Should I try an alternative method of flashing?
