    No. Works fine here. Why are you not ticking the MMTool box (ticked by default)??

    I've seen the tool untick the MMTool tickbox by itself when de bios is loaded this might be a clue.
    Also, as mentioned by NoJuan999 it takes 2+ times to make the tool actually accept and process the bios once selected.
    I'm working on XP insetad of Windows 7.
    Might it be an issue with my OS instead of the tool ?

    Thanks for that. I'd clicked "No" which then gave me no option to select SSV2. Added MSI Slic & all good now...

    Hi

    Looking at your BIOS.

    - If it says cannot patch 0F module then tick the alternate method option.
    - Bootblock is only needed if a mod is made but when flashed the SLIC table points to FF FF .. .. (ie gets overwritten)

    I have just done a successful mod here (ie. it completes with no error) using ASUS 2.1 SLIC and ASUS SLP string. Only adjustment is to tick use alternate method.
    Try that and post a RW report if it doesn't work and I will explain a bootblock mod.

    Thanks for letting me know.
    I have simplified bootblock mods in 1.53. Just use the checkbox on the main page.
    No advanced options need to be set.

    Found a bug in 1.53 bootblock core 7 mod. DON'T USE IT.
    Use 1.54+

    Sorry,
    Andy

    @ sedusg, i tried modding your bios with Amitool 1.54 and got exactly same error. even installed .net 2.0 in windows 7 tried also in XP.
    then i tried Amitool 1.41 and got errors

    Cannot Patch 0F Module

    Hi

    I should probably make alternate method an automatic try now, it was quite experimental to start with.

    Tx,
