CodeRush Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 oSxFr33k, RMB is an acronym for right mouse button. Make 209 patch yourself, there is nowhere to make any mistake there. ranza, please update to this BIOS first and then you can make a BIOS dump, patch it and flash it back. You need special updater because of BIOS platform update and ME firmware major version change. I can extract BIOS image from that executable, but it will brick your system if not flashed properly.

ranza Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 @ CodeRush From the msi website the most recent bios for Ivi Brige Could you let me you patch the bios Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksoph Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 ASRock H61M VS - Bios Version 2.70 Bios patched and updated BIOS flashed to M.board - all fine. The little testing I have done seems not to allow native power management - it just KP's, so I just used NullCPUPM adding GenerateP and C states in org.chamelion.Boot.plist. Im pretty much a noob with hacintoshes so it is very possible that it would work with native power management if one knew how. Thanks. nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranza Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 @ CodeRush Version 12.6 of the bios installed Looking at the site there is the 12.6 msi is why I have to update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Agostino: This is not the place to post about general issues with installation, your question is off topic, please create a new topic somewhere else. This topic is for discussing PMPatch and related issues. Unless I remember wrong, if you're stuck at PCI Configuration Begin then your boot process is past the point where it would have kernel panic'd if your MSR 0xE2 was locked. Ranza: CodeRush already told you what you have to do: ranza, please update to this BIOS first and then you can make a BIOS dump, patch it and flash it back.

Agostino9446 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 How can patch the bios of an asrock h87m...i don't understand the guide in #1 post Now i'm on 2.20 bios updates(the lastest for my mobo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Agostino9446, this BIOS is factory unlocked, no need to patch it. ranza, please use patched kext for 10.8 and patched kernel for 10.9\10.10, if you can't dump your BIOS. I can't help you any further. nicksoph, I would try to start 10.9 installer for USB flash on unlocked BIOS to test it, if it also KPs - there are still unpatched locking code somewhere. You can use NCPM.kext further, if sleep mode is not a problem for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have just finished alpha stage of long awaited PMPatch successor, first release is now pushed to UEFITool repository. The new utility is called UEFIPatch and uses UEFITool's engine to patch files inside UEFI images without unpacking them on disk. It's a command-line utility, but I tried to make it both easier to use and more powerful then PMPatch. Simple usage: unpack this archive to any folder with write permissions, copy your BIOS image to that folder and drag the copied image onto executable file. If any of patches from patches.txt is applied, new file with .patched extension will be created. Advanced usage: run the program from terminal without any parameters to see it's advanced usage help text, read commentaries in patches.txt to be able to add your own patches. UEFIPatch doesn't aims to replace UEFITool in any way, it's made just for making patching a bit easier (and to test the engine, of course). GUI for patching will soon be added to UEFITool too. I'm waiting for your feedback and possible bugreports, thank you all in advance. And for now PMPatch is officially dead, BTW. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRush Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 You need to flash S500CASS.204.patched file with AFU /GAN (it still has capsule header from original file). OSX binaries for UEFIExtract and UEFIPatch are uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendescotta Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 hi, im' reading everything related and havn't found the answers yet. i just bought an Asus z77-a mobo, it does not have the flashback option so i need to rely on other techniques to get the modified bios to work. i'm aware of the afwin /gan method, but i didnt' see any report of success with it. also the regional lock introduced in asus z77 mobos, i'm not sure wthers this affect me or not and if pmapatch already takes care of it. can someone please guide me here as i want to get my mobo with lthe latest bios version and patched so i can build a hackintosh in int Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3nny Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hi, everything you need is in the first post. All methods described do work as long as you stick to the instructions. Besides, CodeRush wouldn't include an error-prone method, despite his name. The regions locks are bypassed with /gan, as you can read in this topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendescotta Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 so i just do this: backup: afuwinx64 bios.bin /o patch: pmpatch bios.bin bios-pmpatched.bin apply: afuwinx64 bios-pmpatched.bin /gan regardless of region lock and other stuff? simple as that?

CodeRush Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 k3nny, this "error-prone" method relays on AMI's SMIFlash code, that is nether error-prone, nor available on every AMI-based BIOS. Most vendors have developed their own flash routines, and using SMIFlash may be compatible with them, and may be not, no one will test it. So if this method works - cool, if not - you brick your PC and need a programmer and full SPI chip dump to bring it back to life. I must say thousand times: all BIOS flashes are risky, even "normal" "vendor-way-done" ones, and hardware SPI programmer is your only "95%-error-prone" option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
